Victoria United come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Plateau United did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The paperwork begins on Fon Boris Kache
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Plateau United have done the hard part with PWD Bamenda, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Promise Damala signs for Rivers United while still at Plateau United
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Promise Damala has agreed terms with Rivers United for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Promise Damala is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Plateau United is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Victor Dawa 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 Plateau United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Gimba Ajiji in the eights
A performance of 9.45 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
