Squad

Mihkel Mets 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Tammeka

Tanel Lang 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.

Market

Mihkel Mets placed on the list

Tammeka have made Mihkel Mets available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

The dugout

Mihkel Mets asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Taijo Antonov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

Pedro Manoel has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Tammeka 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

Pavel Marin 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 Tammeka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Marek Dmitrijev signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Marek Dmitrijev and Tammeka agree another 3 years.

The dugout

Kristen Lapa 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 Kristen Lapa is on it.
