Squad13 Aug 2029

Nemanja Ilić breaks a bone — 60 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 60 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad13 Aug 2029

The knee: Ignas Barauskas out for 55 days

55 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Atlantas lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Atlantas count the cost of losing Rokas Lasickas

16 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Words exchanged at Atlantas

Tadas Simkus 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.

Transfer targets13 Aug 2029

Stumbras tell Atlantas: Kristupas Padegimas is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout13 Aug 2029

Justas Valskis 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.

Market13 Aug 2029

Atlantas buy the years ahead of Volkan Sinik

He is 18, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market13 Aug 2029

Utenis expected to open talks for Vikintas Valskis

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Atlantas will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

The dugout13 Aug 2029

Justas Valskis has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Atlantas 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.

Squad20 Nov 2028

Paulius Dubickas breaks a bone — 38 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 38 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market20 Nov 2028

David Bethel hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Atlantas can pretend not to have heard.

Squad20 Nov 2028

Tempers go at Atlantas

Tadas Simkus 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.

Squad20 Nov 2028

David Bethel wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Atlantas know it.

Squad20 Nov 2028

Daniel Simon out for 15 days

The medical room confirms 15 days on the sidelines for Daniel Simon, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

Paulius Dubickas 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.

Squad23 Oct 2028

Andrius Kazlauskas damages knee ligaments — 40 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 40 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.

Squad23 Oct 2028

Paulius Dubickas breaks a bone — 67 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 67 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market23 Oct 2028

David Bethel asks to leave Atlantas

“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.

Match6 May 2028

Atlantas come from 2 down to beat Stumbras

At 2 goals adrift this was a formality, and the formality lasted right up until it did not. Atlantas found something the first half had given no notice of, and Stumbras could not hold what they had.

Player ratings8 May 2028

Both of them Tadas Simkus's — 9.43

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.43, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings8 May 2028

A brace, and Justas Valskis takes the afternoon — 8.96

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Justas Valskis provided it, and the 8.96 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market8 May 2028

David Bethel puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Atlantas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad8 May 2028

Remember the name: Tomas Simkus

He is 20, he is averaging 6.63, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad8 May 2028

Jovan Krneta signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jovan Krneta commits to Atlantas for another 2 years.

Squad8 May 2028

Words exchanged at Atlantas

Tadas Simkus 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.

Match6 May 2028

Justas Valskis sends Atlantas past Stumbras

It finished 4‑2, and it was Justas Valskis’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Atlantas.

Match6 May 2028

The drought breaks for Atlantas

6 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Stumbras were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Atlantas out of the cup

Trakai ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

A row about effort at Atlantas

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

Market10 Apr 2028

Edgaras Dubickas is free to find somewhere else

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

Uglješa Radinović 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.

Linas Eliosius: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Player ratings10 Apr 2028

Nobody could get near Daniel Simon

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
