Squad

Tadas Mikoliunas damages knee ligaments — 30 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 30 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.

Match

The cup run ends for Siauliai

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

Player ratings

Marius Klimavicius, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.91

A mark of 7.91 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Siauliai

Edvinas Barauskas 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.

Squad

Words at Siauliai training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marius Klimavicius 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Ignas Simkus

“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.

Market

Talks stall between Siauliai and Marin Karabatić

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

Lukas Jankauskas told to find a new club

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

Market

Siauliai pick up Cristian Cruz for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Cristian Cruz arrives at Siauliai with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.

In brief
