Market

Mark Mampassi has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Tempers go at Rosenborg

Ole Selnæs 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.

Squad

Dino Islamović 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

Rosenborg find a way past Aalesund

Aalesund made Rosenborg work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Dino Islamović

Marked 8.52 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Emil Ceïde was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.46. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Dylan Aquino

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jonas Mortensen

“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.

Squad

Jesper Reitan-Sunde dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match

Amin Chiakha sends Rosenborg through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Amin Chiakha obliged against Mjondalen. 4‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Rosenborg.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Jesper Reitan-Sunde at 20 — 8.41

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Jesper Reitan-Sunde did not need any: 8.41, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match

Rosenborg make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Rosenborg have 4 straight wins of it.

Market

Mark Mampassi has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Rosenborg count the cost of losing Dino Islamović

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Boardroom

Rosenborg to lose Mark Mampassi for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Mark Mampassi 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Rosenborg

Aslak Fonn Witry 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.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Rosenborg and Mjondalen in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

Simen Bolkan Nordli 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.
