Squad

Mathias Grundetjern 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 Haugesund this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Haugesund promote Stian Johansen from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Stian Johansen has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Haugesund promote Erling Linnes from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Erling Linnes has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Rasmus Møller 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.

The dugout

Alexander Ruud Tveter has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Alexander Ruud Tveter has written the date down.

Market

The Mikkel Hope talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Haugesund know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

Emil Rohd stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Emil Rohd and Haugesund agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Haugesund

Sory Diarra 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.

Squad

Words at Haugesund training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Miika Koskela 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ismaël Seoné

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

The dugout

Haugesund keep their word to Petcho Camara

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad

Ismaël Seoné: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Haugesund will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Haugesund

1‑5 against Stabaek, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market

Haugesund turn down IK Start for Sory Diarra

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

Market

Haugesund spend $1.6M to raise the standard

This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $1.6M has been paid because Mathias Grundetjern is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.

Player ratings

Anders Bondhus runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Pyry Hannola signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Pyry Hannola and Haugesund agree another 4 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Haugesund

Sory Diarra 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.

Match

Sory Diarra among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Sory Diarra on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Haugesund and Stabaek.

The terraces

The town asked, and Haugesund paid $1.6M

Mathias Grundetjern was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $1.6M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Market

Haugesund promote Ole Hauge from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ole Hauge has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
