Ignas Sernas 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.

Marius Cernych 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.
Loan watch16 Nov 2026
“I did not go to Zalgiris to sit and watch. I want to come back to Siauliai and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Ignas Sernas 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.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Aidas Slavickas
18 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.

Sergio Rivas 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.

Aidas Slavickas damages knee ligaments — 26 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 26 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

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 The request is on a desk at Siauliai, and it is not being withdrawn.

Words at Siauliai training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Valery Fedosyuk 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.
Market7 Sep 2026
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Siauliai, another week without a signature from Valery Fedosyuk.
Market7 Sep 2026
Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Siauliai will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
Squad7 Sep 2026
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.

Ignas Sernas 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 Siauliai can pretend not to have heard.
Market24 Aug 2026
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The small margins put Siauliai out
Out, 2‑3 to Trakai, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Marius Cernych, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.83
A mark of 7.83 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Kauno Zalgiris will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Oyinlola Kayode has pre-agreed a move to Siauliai, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

“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.

Sergio Rivas has outgrown this division
There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Siauliai know it, and so does everybody who watches him.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Valery Fedosyuk gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Valery Fedosyuk has just signed for Siauliai, and for once the answer mattered.

Siauliai say no — this time
The offer from Zalgiris for Saulius Paulauskas 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 easiest signature of my career.” Ignas Sernas and Siauliai agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
