Jakob Segadal Hansen says Viking went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Words exchanged at Viking
Zlatko Tripic 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.

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

Kristoffer Askildsen is still paying for one afternoon at Viking
Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Henrik Falchener 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 Henrik Falchener trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Niklas Fuglestad 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.

Henrik Heggheim linked with a move away
The name of Henrik Heggheim keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Viking say nothing, which says plenty.

Henrik Falchener goes back to face Sandefjord
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Henrik Falchener’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Viking needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Veton Berisha has seen what the next man earns
Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Viking that is a harder question to answer.
In brief
- Loan watch The goals keep arriving from Ruben Alte’s exile
- Looking ahead Viking host Sandefjord
- Squad Elias Arifagic back in training
