Squad5 Apr 2027

Alexey Naidenov breaks a bone — 122 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 122 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match31 Mar 2027

Parnu through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Tulevik, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings5 Apr 2027

Konstantin Dmitrijev could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.80

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.80, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Market5 Apr 2027

Markus Baranov asks to leave Parnu

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings5 Apr 2027

Nobody could get near Taijo Dmitrijev

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Markus Baranov 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.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Yahav Afriat 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.

The terraces5 Apr 2027

Parnu supporters have found a favourite in Joonas Klavan

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Joonas Klavan has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match3 Apr 2027

Parnu get the job done against Sillamae Kalev

A 2‑0 win over Sillamae Kalev, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

In brief

  • Player ratings Ninety minutes of Karl Teniste at his very best
  • Squad A place in the month's best eleven for Marek Kait
  • Player ratings The pass was always on for Yahav Afriat

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad8 Feb 2027

Alexey Naidenov gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Maciej Pietrzyk 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.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Yahav Afriat still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Parnu would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A fracture rules Martin Vassiljev out for 77 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.

Market9 Nov 2026

Silver Igonen 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 Parnu, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Parnu

Brent Kallaste 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.

A fracture rules Martin Vassiljev out for 142 days

Market7 Sep 2026

So close: Martin Vassiljev’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Tulevik moved on, Martin Vassiljev reports back to Parnu, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Yahav Afriat would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Yahav Afriat is living that version at Parnu, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market10 Aug 2026

Martin Vassiljev asks to leave Parnu

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Yahav Afriat signs on for more

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Parnu

Silver Igonen 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at Parnu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yahav Afriat 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Joonas Klavan is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Parnu has been clear about where Joonas Klavan stands, which is more than many ever get.
