Match

14 unbeaten for Paide

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 14 matches without defeat is a foundation Paide did not have in the autumn.

Market

Paide say no — this time

The offer from Ventspils for Abdourahman Badamosi was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Willian Gabriel runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Pa Modou Sohna 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 The request is on a desk at Paide, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Paide — 7.84

1 for Daniel Cabral, marked 7.84, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Match

After 8 games, Paide finally taste it again

The first defeat in 8 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Levadia; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

Squad

Tempers go at Paide

Nikita Baranov 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.

Market

Tulevik join the queue for Pa Modou Sohna

Add another name to the list: Tulevik have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Pa Modou Sohna. The answer from Paide has not changed — yet.

Squad

A row about effort at Paide

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

Match

Paide cannot stop winning

8 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Player ratings

Momodou Jobarteh scores twice — 8.98

Two goals and a mark of 8.98 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Edgar Tur was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 30. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market

Hindrek Ojamaa 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 Paide, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Terms done: Kristofer Piht is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Tulevik waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Paide is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market

Flora come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Paide did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Daniel Cabral 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.

Match

Paide find a way past Sillamae Kalev

Sillamae Kalev made Paide work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Pa Modou Sohna wants to go home

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

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Daniel Cabral 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 Paide this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Rafael Melo arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Rafael Melo has, at Paide, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

The dugout

No hiding place for Edgar Tur

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

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Paide

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

Rafael Melo signs on for more

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

Market

Paide shop where it costs nothing

Enzo signs, and the fee column stays empty. Deals like this look small in July and clever by March — or they are never mentioned again.
