Match7 Apr 2029

5 matches without a win for St. Pauli

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around St. Pauli are no longer polite ones.

Squad9 Apr 2029

Gift Orban 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.

Squad9 Apr 2029

Jannik Rochelt signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jannik Rochelt commits to St. Pauli for another 3 years.

Match7 Apr 2029

Fisnik Asllani’s goal not enough for St. Pauli

Fisnik Asllani scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Bayern Munich, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout9 Apr 2029

Alejandro Gomes Rodríguez gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad9 Apr 2029

Louis Oppie reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Squad9 Apr 2029

Tempers go at St. Pauli

George Abbott 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.

The dugout9 Apr 2029

Klaus Beck answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Market9 Apr 2029

Talks stall between St. Pauli and Connor Metcalfe

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad19 Feb 2029

Jackson Irvine breaks a bone — 25 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 25 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market19 Feb 2029

Louis Oppie puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at St. Pauli, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

Fisnik Asllani scores twice — 8.72

Two goals and a mark of 8.72 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Viktor Johansson keeps St. Pauli in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market19 Feb 2029

Gonzalo Carneiro has one foot out of the door

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

Squad19 Feb 2029

Words at St. Pauli training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gift Orban 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.

Transfer targets19 Feb 2029

St. Pauli rebuffed over Sascha Britschgi

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

Match17 Feb 2029

St. Pauli get the job done against TSG Hoffenheim

A 2‑1 win over TSG Hoffenheim, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Match17 Feb 2029

Fisnik Asllani answers TSG Hoffenheim immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Fisnik Asllani had St. Pauli level again within 4 minutes, and TSG Hoffenheim never got to play with a lead at all.

In brief
