The Nomme Kalju Courier
Match12 Aug 2026
Nomme Kalju out of the cup
Welco ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Supporters turn on the $310.0K sale of Kristjan Kask
He is going to Vaprus, the club has $310.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

No sign of nerves from Rommi Siht at 20 — 7.60
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Rommi Siht did not need any: 7.60, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

A falling-out at Nomme Kalju
Bogdan Vaštšuk and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Kristjan Kask moves on
Vaprus pay $310.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Both jobs done by Daniil Sotšugov — 6.91
A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 13 actions, 6.91, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Nõmme United tell Nomme Kalju: Benjamine Chisala is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

A row about effort at Nomme Kalju
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Aleksandr Nikolajev was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Nobody left the Nomme Kalju dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
