Sigurður Gunnar Jónsson is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Stjarnan is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

“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.

Squad

Sindri Þór Ingimarsson asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Daniel Marín says Stjarnan 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.

Squad

Stjarnan lose Andri Rúnar Bjarnason

103 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Darri Bergmann Gylfason has one foot out of the door

The manager makes an example of Damil Dankerlui

“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.

Match

Stjarnan cannot stop winning

3 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.

A 2-0 win over Fylkir, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Is this Andri Rúnar Bjarnason’s last season?

Match

The cup run ends for Stjarnan

1-2 against IBV, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

Meshal Hamad 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 Stjarnan can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Jóhann Árni Gunnarsson says Stjarnan 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.

Squad

Jóhann Árni Gunnarsson is off the mark for Stjarnan

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
