Squad29 May 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Magnus Lie

45 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. IK Start lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match27 May 2028

The wait goes on for IK Start

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market29 May 2028

Jippe Caes 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 IK Start can pretend not to have heard.

Match27 May 2028

The goals have deserted IK Start

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at IK Start can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad29 May 2028

Erlend Dahl Reitan 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 IK Start this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad29 May 2028

Håkon Lorentzen 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.

Match27 May 2028

A bad afternoon for IK Start against Bodo/Glimt

0‑2 to Bodo/Glimt, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout29 May 2028

The manager makes an example of Ousmane Diallo

“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.

Loan watch29 May 2028

Terry Benjamin counts the days

“I watch every IK Start game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Öster runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Market24 Apr 2028

Jippe Caes 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 The request is on a desk at IK Start, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Tempers go at IK Start

Ludwig Małachowski Thorell 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.

Squad24 Apr 2028

A move Máté Herbák would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Máté Herbák is living that version at IK Start, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Jacob Haahr wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at IK Start can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Jacob Haahr 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.

Match22 Apr 2028

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 91 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon IK Start had all but put away. Lillestrom will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Match22 Apr 2028

Honours even between IK Start and Lillestrom

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout24 Apr 2028

The manager makes an example of Tobias Gjesdahl

“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 dugout24 Apr 2028

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Ole Pedersen chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market17 Apr 2028

Kristoffer Tønnessen asks to leave IK Start

“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.

Squad17 Apr 2028

6 saves: Jasper Torkildsen was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings17 Apr 2028

Vintage John Olav Norheim — 7.82

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.82, and nobody on the pitch better.

The dugout17 Apr 2028

Nicolai Apland says IK Start 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.

Squad17 Apr 2028

Words exchanged at IK Start

Ludwig Małachowski Thorell 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.

Squad17 Apr 2028

Jippe Caes gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Jippe Caes has just signed for IK Start, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad17 Apr 2028

Words at IK Start training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Håkon Lorentzen 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.

Match15 Apr 2028

John Olav Norheim sends IK Start past Rosenborg

It finished 2‑1, and it was John Olav Norheim’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to IK Start.

The terraces17 Apr 2028

One of their own: Glenn McConnell

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
