Squad6 Oct 2031

Markus Soomets signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Markus Soomets and IK Start agree another 3 years.

Squad6 Oct 2031

Words exchanged at IK Start

Mikael Ugland 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.

Match4 Oct 2031

Viking take the points off IK Start

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings6 Oct 2031

Ninety minutes of Jesper Cornelius at his very best

Marked 8.23. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at IK Start.

Squad6 Oct 2031

A row about effort at IK Start

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

The dugout6 Oct 2031

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Francesco Ferri to a room that had heard them before.

Squad6 Oct 2031

A place in the month's best eleven for Martin Normann

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Martin Normann has come out of that comparison in the side, and IK Start have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

The dugout6 Oct 2031

When it matters, Steve Mvoué plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout6 Oct 2031

Somebody else is better right now than Kristoffer Tønnessen

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The terraces29 Sep 2031

Supporters organise against the IK Start board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

The dugout29 Sep 2031

Manuel Mecozzi: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” IK Start have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad29 Sep 2031

Tempers go at IK Start

Mikael Ugland 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.

Match27 Sep 2031

A bad afternoon for IK Start against Sarpsborg 08

0‑2 to Sarpsborg 08, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout29 Sep 2031

Storm Øines 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.

Squad29 Sep 2031

William Kaastrup 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 dugout29 Sep 2031

A promise honoured for Steve Mvoué

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. IK Start told Steve Mvoué something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout29 Sep 2031

Francesco Ferri answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Player ratings29 Sep 2031

Nobody could get near Frederik Ellegaard

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The terraces4 Aug 2031

Anger at IK Start spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match2 Aug 2031

No end in sight to IK Start's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at IK Start has to find a result from somewhere.

Transfer targets4 Aug 2031

IK Start agree $710.0K for Rasmus Sandberg

The clubs have shaken hands with Bodo/Glimt; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Squad4 Aug 2031

A one-man rearguard from Storm Øines

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The dugout4 Aug 2031

Giuseppe Brugnoli: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” IK Start have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad4 Aug 2031

Tempers go at IK Start

Mikael Ugland 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.

Transfer targets4 Aug 2031

IK Start rebuffed over Filip Artykiewicz

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Stromsgodset have kept their man, and IK Start go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match2 Aug 2031

Bodo/Glimt take the points off IK Start

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
