Squad10 May 2027

Olegs Fertovs breaks a bone — 55 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 55 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings10 May 2027

Ubong Williams beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 26. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match8 May 2027

Skonto cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad10 May 2027

Yusuf Mohammed 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.

Squad10 May 2027

A falling-out at Skonto

Suleiman Idris and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match10 May 2027

Skonto at the halfway mark

Half the programme played, position 5, 8 on the board. Doubling it is the sum every supporter has done and the only one nobody at the club will do out loud.

The dugout10 May 2027

Igors Rugins on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Igors Rugins after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout10 May 2027

No hiding place for Kaspars Bulvitis

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kaspars Bulvitis, and the manager let it.

Match8 May 2027

Skonto and Spartaks cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Spartaks came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad3 May 2027

Olegs Fertovs breaks a bone — 62 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 62 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad3 May 2027

A row about effort at Skonto

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Yusuf Mohammed was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad3 May 2027

Suleiman Idris 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 Skonto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Loan watch3 May 2027

Marcis Vanins has seen enough of Metta/LU

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Skonto, and 6 appearances in 14 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad3 May 2027

A place in the month's best eleven for Nikita Gabovs

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Nikita Gabovs has come out of that comparison in the side, and Skonto have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

The dugout3 May 2027

Kaspars Bulvitis 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.

Match20 Mar 2027

Skonto leave it late against Daugavpils

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 85th, and Daugavpils spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Market22 Mar 2027

Only the photograph left for Pavels Laizans

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Pavels Laizans will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Skonto the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Yusuf Mohammed signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Yusuf Mohammed and Skonto agree another 3 years.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Yusuf Mohammed 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.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Skonto

Suleiman Idris 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.

The terraces22 Mar 2027

One of their own: Davis Zjuzins

He is 19 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match20 Mar 2027

Skonto find a way past Daugavpils

Daugavpils made Skonto work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Gatis Dubra stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.51 on the card, and the Skonto support went home talking about one name.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

A satisfied Igors Rugins

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Igors Rugins could afford to be generous.

Kaspars Bulvitis signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kaspars Bulvitis commits to Skonto for another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Gatis Dubra 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 Skonto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Skonto training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vitalijs Vanins 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.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Rudes tell Skonto: Duje Korač is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Motiejus Burba is in the works

Skonto have made the call to Kauno Zalgiris. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Skonto try to borrow George Keseru

Pandurii have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Gatis Dubra 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Vladimirs Jagodinskis told to find a new club

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

The dugout3 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Pierre Kunde

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Pierre Kunde, and the manager let it.
