Ahmad Gero scores twice — 9.43

Two goals and a mark of 9.43 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Zidane Afreza asks to leave Narva Trans

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match1 Apr 2028

Narva Trans see off FCI Tallinn

Three points for Narva Trans, 3‑2 the final word against FCI Tallinn in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Words at Narva Trans training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Frederik Mortensen 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.

Squad3 Apr 2028

The manager makes an example of Josué Doké

“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.

Tempers go at Narva Trans

Sean Sankanu 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.

Serhii Miakushko dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Frederik Mortensen runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Artjom Škinjov is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Narva Trans has been clear about where Artjom Škinjov stands, which is more than many ever get.

Robert Ilicic damages knee ligaments — 88 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 88 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

A brace, and Ahmad Gero takes the afternoon — 8.67

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Ahmad Gero provided it, and the 8.67 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Narva Trans see off FCI Tallinn

Three points for Narva Trans, 2‑1 the final word against FCI Tallinn in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Serhii Miakushko 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 Narva Trans this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Shalva Burjanadze 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.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Aleksander Filatov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Aleksander Filatov and Narva Trans agree another 3 years.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Mark Maksimkin 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.

Aleksander Filatov is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Narva Trans has been clear about where Aleksander Filatov stands, which is more than many ever get.

Miloš Gordić runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

7 months and counting on Stanislav Tsõmbaljuk

Still no offer on the table, and Stanislav Tsõmbaljuk’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
