Market

Stumbras come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Tempers go at Suduva

Amadou Sabo 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

Markas Beneta 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.

Market

Stumbras turn down Kauno Zalgiris for Tadas Simkus

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

Squad

Tadas Simkus 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 Stumbras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Suduva join the queue for Vykintas Novikovas

Add another name to the list: Suduva have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Vykintas Novikovas. The answer from Stumbras has not changed — yet.

Squad

Filip Jania signs on for more

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

Squad

Words at Stumbras training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Karolis Vaitkunas 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 Karolis Vaitkunas

“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.
