Squad

David Simiyu breaks a bone — 42 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 42 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Ambrose Sifuna hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Kenya Police can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Muranga Seal come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Kenya Police did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Awesu Awesu

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Kenya Police training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marvin Nabwire is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Kenya Police find a way past Nairobi United

Nairobi United made Kenya Police work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Match

The small margins put Kenya Police out

Out, 1‑2 to Mathare United, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market

David Okoth hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Kenya Police can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Reagan Otieno runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Kenya Police say no — this time

The offer from FC Diarra for Brian Chonjo Otieno was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Joash Onyango 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.

Squad

Samuel Ayanrinde in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kenya Police this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Eyes on Gédéon Muyadi again

The phone has started ringing about Gédéon Muyadi again, and this time the name on the line is Muranga Seal. Kenya Police are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

No hiding place for Geordy Ndecket

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

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Awesu Awesu

7.66, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Kenya Police had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Ambrose Sifuna runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 45. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Cup progress for Kenya Police

A 1‑0 win over Ulinzi Stars, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

David Simiyu puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Kenya Police, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Bidco United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Kenya Police did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Khadime N'Diaye in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kenya Police this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Kenya Police sell Edward Omondi Ondimo for $64.0K

Edward Omondi Ondimo has left for Tusker in a $64.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Words at Kenya Police training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marvin Nabwire is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

A bad afternoon for Kenya Police against Tusker

0‑1 to Tusker, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Alvin Mangeni 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.

Market

Kenya Police turn down Kariobangi Sharks for David Okoth

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Marvin Nabwire in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kenya Police this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

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

Tusker join the queue for Edward Omondi Ondimo

Add another name to the list: Tusker have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Edward Omondi Ondimo. The answer from Kenya Police has not changed — yet.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Awesu Awesu

A mark of 7.65, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Match

Kenya Police share the spoils with Ulinzi Stars

A 1‑1 draw with Ulinzi Stars leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

Awesu Awesu is off the mark for Kenya Police

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad

Geordy Ndecket left out for tactical reasons at Kenya Police

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Market

Kenya Police turn down AS Bakaridjan for Marvin Nabwire

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Erick Zakayo

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kenya Police this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Tyshick Mosengo the difference as Kenya Police beat Mathare United

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Tyshick Mosengo. 1‑0 against Mathare United, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Market

APS Bomet join the queue for Kusi Nana Asante

Add another name to the list: APS Bomet have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Kusi Nana Asante. The answer from Kenya Police has not changed — yet.

Market

Alvin Mangeni is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Kenya Police has been clear about where Alvin Mangeni stands, which is more than many ever get.

Player ratings

Tyshick Mosengo takes the honours

Marked 7.78 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Kenya Police had the best player on the pitch.

Market

Kenya Police and Daniel Sakari are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

Kenya Police pick somebody else ahead of Abud Omar

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Squad

An unwelcome headline for Marvin Nabwire

He will be fined, he will apologise, and he will play on Saturday. The order of those three tells you everything about what a football club actually values.

Squad

Marvin Nabwire signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Marvin Nabwire and Kenya Police agree another 2 years.
