Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gatis Kamess

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

Squad

Vykintas Barauskas breaks a bone — 85 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 85 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Gatis Oss puts it in writing

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 The request is on a desk at Skonto, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Metta/LU come back empty-handed

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

Loan watch

Janis Oss counts the days

“I watch every Skonto game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Liepaja runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Market

Gatis Oss 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 Skonto can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Pavels Stolcers stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Pavels Stolcers and Skonto agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Metta/LU come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Pavels Stolcers 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.

Squad

Olegs Dubra 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Raivis Oss

“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.
