The St. Pauli Chronicle

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

37 days out for Markus Seidel after a fracture

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

Squad

A falling-out at St. Pauli

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

Squad

Marwin Schmitz signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marwin Schmitz commits to St. Pauli for another 5 years.

Squad

A row about effort at St. Pauli

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

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Karl Dietrich on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout

No hiding place for Rony Jansson

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

Match

No goals between St. Pauli and Union Berlin

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Union Berlin will be the happier side with the point.

Market

The Martijn Kaars question follows St. Pauli around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Martijn Kaars’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Player ratings

Abdoulie Ceesay keeps on missing

Shots: 8, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

In brief
