Transfer targets

Reuben Egan turns down Prykarpattia

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Vladyslav Vakula 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 Prykarpattia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Prykarpattia baulk at the price for Enoch Dzeble

Kolos wanted more than $5.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets

Nyva tell Prykarpattia: Serhii Davydov is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Player ratings

Serhii Miakushko runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Yuriy Kravchuk 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.

Match

Prykarpattia caught on 95 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Probiy scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Player ratings

Vladyslav Vakula takes the honours

Marked 7.87 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Prykarpattia had the best player on the pitch.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Ulises Vera is in the works

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

Match

Vladyslav Vakula leads the rout of Chernihiv

4‑0, and Vladyslav Vakula took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Prykarpattia tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings

A brace, and Vladyslav Vakula takes the afternoon — 8.76

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Vladyslav Vakula provided it, and the 8.76 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Ivan Pitsan is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Prykarpattia is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

Ivan Pitsan has agreed to leave Prykarpattia for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Prykarpattia walk away from Wesley Pomba

$780.0K was the most the club would pay and Veres were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad

Tempers go at Prykarpattia

Vladyslav Vakula 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.

Transfer targets

An offer of $5.0K for Enoch Dzeble

Prykarpattia have gone to Kolos with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Prykarpattia rebuffed over Franco Ayunta

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Temperley have kept their man, and Prykarpattia go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces

Prykarpattia supporters have found a favourite in Maksym Stadnik

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Maksym Stadnik has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

A falling-out at Prykarpattia

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

Player ratings

Maksym Protsiv runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A row about effort at Prykarpattia

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

Transfer targets

Prykarpattia rebuffed over Eric Veiga

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Flamurtari have kept their man, and Prykarpattia go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Prykarpattia promote Nazariy Malynovskyi from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nazariy Malynovskyi has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Vladyslav Marlos joins the Prykarpattia first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Vladyslav Marlos is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Prykarpattia promote Pavlo Karavayev from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Pavlo Karavayev has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Prykarpattia promote Oleh Burda from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Oleh Burda has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match

Prykarpattia see off Victoriia Sumy

Three points for Prykarpattia, 1‑0 the final word against Victoriia Sumy in a contest settled by the finer margins.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Vasyl Henyk has been here 9 seasons

163 appearances across 9 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Match

Prykarpattia come up short against Nyva

Nyva left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Ruslan Buriak signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ruslan Buriak and Prykarpattia agree another 3 years.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Maksym Protsiv

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ruslan Buriak 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 Prykarpattia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Mykola Karavayev: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad

Words at Prykarpattia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Maksym Protsiv 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Andrii Bobynets

“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.

Market

Prykarpattia and Ruslan Buriak 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.
