Match5 Jun 2027

The wait goes on for Parnu

16 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match7 Jun 2027

Parnu are in real trouble now

Position 9, 5 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad7 Jun 2027

A fracture rules Mihkel Sappinen out for 110 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Parnu will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market7 Jun 2027

Flora come back empty-handed

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

Boardroom7 Jun 2027

Pressure builds in the Parnu boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market7 Jun 2027

FCI Tallinn join the queue for Silver Igonen

Add another name to the list: FCI Tallinn have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Silver Igonen. The answer from Parnu has not changed — yet.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Hendrik Sappinen says Parnu went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Taijo Ainsalu 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 Parnu this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings7 Jun 2027

Taijo Ainsalu runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match22 May 2027

No end in sight to Parnu's wait for a win

14 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Parnu has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad24 May 2027

A fracture rules Mihkel Sappinen out for 124 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Parnu will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad24 May 2027

Joonas Pikk keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Parnu may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings24 May 2027

Hendrik Sappinen pops up at the right end — 7.13

7.13, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad24 May 2027

Words at Parnu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tord Salte 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.
