A row about effort at FH
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Birkir Valur Jónsson was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Squad30 Apr 2029
A falling-out at FH
Jóhann Ægir Arnarsson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
The dugout30 Apr 2029
Nobody at FH 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.
The dugout30 Apr 2029
“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.
The dugout30 Apr 2029
A promise honoured at FH
Something was said to David Krasniqi and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.
Market30 Apr 2029
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. FH know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
The dugout30 Apr 2029
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Victor Sandberg trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
Market30 Apr 2029
4 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs FH money.
Squad30 Apr 2029
“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and FH will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Faye Fallou 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 Faye Fallou is on it.

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