“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 7 of the 30 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.
Beaten 0-1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

88% of the income goes out in wages at Posta Rangers
Every club in football 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 somebody has tried it.
Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Every club in football 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 somebody has tried it.
The captaincy has been taken off Fredrick Odhiambo. Posta Rangers will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.
It is a strip of cloth and it decides nothing on a Saturday. It still tells the dressing room exactly whose opinion the manager values, which is the whole point of it.
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Posta Rangers know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. APS Bomet defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Peter Masika is 20, and Posta Rangers have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
