Squad

Guðmundur Baldvin Nökkvason in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Stjarnan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Stjarnan

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

The dugout

Hrafn Guðmundsson has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Stjarnan will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

Agustín Navarro still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Stjarnan would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Market

Andri Rúnar Bjarnason linked with a move away

The name of Andri Rúnar Bjarnason keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Stjarnan say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Guðmundur Kristjánsson knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Guðmundur Kristjánsson trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

A falling-out at Stjarnan

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

Squad

Birnir Snær Ingason 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sindri Þór Ingimarsson

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

The dugout

Örvar Eggertsson gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Örvar Eggertsson is on it.

Market

The Damil Dankerlui question follows Stjarnan around

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

The dugout

Benedikt V. Warén knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Benedikt V. Warén trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stjarnan

Emil Atlason 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.

Squad

The step up is real for Guðmundur Rafn Ingason

At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Words at Stjarnan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Agustín Navarro 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.

Squad

Jóhann Árni Gunnarsson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jóhann Árni Gunnarsson commits to Stjarnan for another 3 years.

Market

Stjarnan sign Albert Heyde, one for the future

Albert Heyde is 20, and Stjarnan have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Nobody at Stjarnan has picked up the phone to Jóhann Árni Gunnarsson

36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

The dugout

Hrafn Guðmundsson has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Stjarnan will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

Stjarnan and Sigurður Gunnar Jónsson are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Andri Rúnar Bjarnason linked with a move away

The name of Andri Rúnar Bjarnason keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Stjarnan say nothing, which says plenty.
