Volna Pinsk turn down Kauno Zalgiris for Stanislav Letsko

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

The stands have turned

“Enough is enough. We have watched this for months.” 5 of the 24 senior players walked off to it, and the message was not aimed at any one of them.

Dmitriy Nizhnik is on his way

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

Volna Pinsk to lose Dmitriy Nizhnik for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Dmitriy Nizhnik 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.

Tempers go at Volna Pinsk

Vitaliy Kibuk 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.

Roman Zhoglo gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Roman Zhoglo has just signed for Volna Pinsk, and for once the answer mattered.

Volna Pinsk agree a free transfer for Nazar Kurak

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Grisha Paronyan signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Grisha Paronyan and Volna Pinsk agree another 3 years.

Stanislav Letsko has one foot out of the door

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

Grisha Paronyan arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Grisha Paronyan has, at Volna Pinsk, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Kirill Polkhovskiy goes up and wins it — 7.80

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.80 for the rest of it.

Vitaliy Kibuk 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 Volna Pinsk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Volna Pinsk supporters have found a favourite in Dmitriy Lesnyak

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Dmitriy Lesnyak 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.

Words at Volna Pinsk training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Anton Susha 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.
