Paulius Kuklys breaks a bone — 100 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 100 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Words at Siauliai training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luka Caculović 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.

Paulius Mikoliunas 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.

Paulius Kuklys breaks a bone — 121 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 121 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

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

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

“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 The request is on a desk at Siauliai, and it is not being withdrawn.

Sergio Rivas 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 Siauliai this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Siauliai say no — this time
The offer from Suduva for Ignas Sernas 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.

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Siauliai have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Darius Dubickas has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Siauliai.

Ignas Sernas has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Siauliai will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

“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.

This league is too small for Luka Caculović
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Siauliai will not keep him by pretending otherwise.
