Match29 Sep 2026

A European night to remember for Randers

2‑1 against IF Gnistan, 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

The knee: Vincent Gaml out for 39 days

39 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Randers lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Ousseynou Seck, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.85

A mark of 7.85 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Mike Themsen is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Amady Camara wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Randers know it.

Match3 Oct 2026

Randers come up short against FC Copenhagen

FC Copenhagen left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The terraces5 Oct 2026

The crowd has taken to Ousseynou Seck

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

One of those days for Thibault Klidjé

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.07, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nikolas Dyhr runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief

  • Squad The month belongs to Nikolas Dyhr
  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • The dugout The team sheet said everything about Axel Henriksson

Squad28 Sep 2026

The knee: Vincent Gaml out for 47 days

47 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Randers lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Ousseynou Seck, 19, steals the show — 7.72

Marked 7.72 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Randers

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

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Paul Izzo 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.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Nikolas Dyhr was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.32. 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.

Market28 Sep 2026

Mike Themsen told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Mike Themsen has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Randers.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Cyril Edudzi wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Randers know it.

Match26 Sep 2026

Nikolas Dyhr rescues a point for Randers

It needed Nikolas Dyhr to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against OB, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Axel Henriksson 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.

In brief

  • The dugout Warren Caddy asks for a word with the manager
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Looking ahead A test against the best for Randers

Market17 Aug 2026

Not going: Ousseynou Seck stays at Randers

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Como had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A brace, and Mike Themsen takes the afternoon — 8.43

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mike Themsen provided it, and the 8.43 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Paul Izzo

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market17 Aug 2026

FC Nordsjaelland watching Elies Mahmoud

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Randers have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Match15 Aug 2026

Randers cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Randers make their move for Mikkel Wohlgemuth

$250.0K on the table at B.93. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Match15 Aug 2026

Randers get the job done against FC Midtjylland

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

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Both jobs done by Benjamin Örn — 6.88

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. 11 actions, 6.88, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Elies Mahmoud

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Ousseynou Seck scores twice — 8.45

Two goals and a mark of 8.45 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

A brace, and Mike Themsen takes the afternoon — 8.34

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mike Themsen provided it, and the 8.34 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Frederik Lauenborg has been here 14 seasons

173 appearances across 14 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Randers make their move for Daniel Karlsbakk

$3.5M on the table at Sarpsborg 08. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Paul Izzo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Paul Izzo commits to Randers for another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Randers

Wessel Dammers and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match1 Aug 2026

6 goals as Randers and Vejle go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Randers and Vejle, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match1 Aug 2026

Randers see off Vejle

Three points for Randers, 4‑2 the final word against Vejle in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

SuperSport United tell Randers: Rivaldo Mothiba 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.
