A falling-out at Bumprom Gomel

Artem Miroevskiy and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Raman Yablonski steps up from the Bumprom Gomel academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Raman Yablonski has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Sergey Kruzhilin falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Artem Zhevnerenko asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

Sergey Bulynenok gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Erisjon Balla remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Bumprom Gomel would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

Words exchanged at Bumprom Gomel

Artem Miroevskiy and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Bumprom Gomel

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Artem Zhevnerenko was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

No hiding place for Artem Zhevnerenko

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Artem Zhevnerenko, and the manager let it.

Boardroom

Bumprom Gomel counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Bumprom Gomel now.

Squad

A step back for Sergey Bulynenok at Bumprom Gomel

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad

Competition arrives for Yaroslav Makushinskiy

A new face in his position and a shirt he thought he owned suddenly up for discussion. Bumprom Gomel have promised nothing, which is what clubs promise at this stage.

Tempers go at Bumprom Gomel

Artem Miroevskiy was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Wages swallow 260% of the Bumprom Gomel income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ivan Zhestkin

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ivan Zhestkin, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Kirill Parmonov knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Bumprom Gomel, and both men came out saying it was fine.

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

A cup hiding at Naftan leaves Bumprom Gomel explaining themselves

0-3, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

A row about effort at Bumprom Gomel

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Artem Zhevnerenko was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

No place for Sergey Bulynenok in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Bumprom Gomel are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Raman Bykau is in the works

Bumprom Gomel have made the call to BATE. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Yaroslav Makushinskiy signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Yaroslav Makushinskiy and Bumprom Gomel agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Bumprom Gomel

Artem Miroevskiy was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Baranovichi take the points off Bumprom Gomel

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Evgeniy Isachenko

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Maxim Samotoy was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings

Dmitriy Latykhov did the work nobody counts — 6.69

10 combined actions and 6.69. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Squad

Ilya Udodov falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Nobody at Bumprom Gomel has picked up the phone to Yaroslav Makushinskiy

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad

Bumprom Gomel are still strangers to each other

10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.
