The Torpedo Kutaisi Courier

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match12 Aug 2026

Torpedo Kutaisi through in the cup

A 3‑0 win over Zugdidi, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match15 Aug 2026

Torpedo Kutaisi tear Saburtalo apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑0 against Saburtalo, and it could have been more.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Warley runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Both of them Giorgi Kokhreidze's — 8.57

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.57, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Both of them Giorgi Arabidze's — 8.16

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.16, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

A debut Nika Daraselia will not forget — 7.28

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.28 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad17 Aug 2026

30 days out for Levan Okriashvili after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Torpedo Kutaisi will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Giorgi Gvasalia

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Torpedo Kutaisi have done the hard part with Dinamo Tbilisi, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

No thanks: Isaque rejects the move

Torpedo Kutaisi had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Shakhtar, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Viktor Bliznichenko beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 28. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market10 Aug 2026

Demetre Buliskeria has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Torpedo Kutaisi they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

No thanks: Boubou Diallo rejects the move

Torpedo Kutaisi had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Dukla Prague, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Torpedo Kutaisi to lose Demetre Buliskeria for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Demetre Buliskeria has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Nodar Lominadze signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Nodar Lominadze and Torpedo Kutaisi agree another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Nodar Lominadze 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 Torpedo Kutaisi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Torpedo Kutaisi rebuffed over Kichi Meliava

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

The dugout10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Nodar Lominadze

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Dato Mikautadze steps up from the Torpedo Kutaisi academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Dato Mikautadze 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.

Felipe Pires signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Felipe Pires commits to Torpedo Kutaisi for another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Torpedo Kutaisi

Nodar Lominadze 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Komnen Andrić 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.

Torpedo Kutaisi rebuffed over Doğan Alemdar

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

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Torpedo Kutaisi has picked up the phone to Felipe Pires

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

8 new faces, and Torpedo Kutaisi are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Torpedo Kutaisi ask about Boubou Diallo

A loan enquiry to Dukla Prague: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Torpedo Kutaisi try to borrow Isaque

Shakhtar have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
