Samuel Tetteh 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.

Momodou Njie is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Chichi Capo wants out of the dugout
“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and HB Køge will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

The manager makes an example of Anders Hoff
“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.

Victor Gustafsen, 20, is the weekend’s best young player
Measured against every other kid in the division and first among them. The senior award is where HB Køge would like this to lead.

Match21 Oct 2027
A European night to remember for FC Midtjylland
0‑0 against Dynamo Kyiv, under lights, against people who do not speak the same language as the crowd. These are the evenings a club measures its decade in, and there are never as many of them as anybody expects.
Match24 Oct 2027
9 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Squad25 Oct 2027
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

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

“I watch every FC Midtjylland game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at HB Køge runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The team sheet said everything about Mikael Uhre
Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Mikael Uhre.

The manager has not finished forgetting Alexander Bundgaard's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
Match16 Oct 2027
Point won or two lost for HB Køge?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against B.93? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Chichi Capo: “I am not a substitute”
“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one HB Køge will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.
