Match

Nowhere to hide for FCI Tallinn

2‑5 against Parnu, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market

Karl Pikk 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 FCI Tallinn can pretend not to have heard.

Match

7 goals as FCI Tallinn and Parnu go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between FCI Tallinn and Parnu, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Words at FCI Tallinn training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Silver Pikk 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Sergei Ainsalu

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.14, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Artur Liivak

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Karol Sappinen ran the middle of the pitch — 7.75

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 9 combined actions and a mark of 7.75, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Squad

No hiding place for Artur Klavan

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

Boardroom

Doors closed at FCI Tallinn

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

Ken Kallaste 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

Tempers go at FCI Tallinn

Artur Tamm 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

Silver Antonov has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at FCI Tallinn will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

Artur Pikk breaks a bone — 88 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 88 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Antonio González 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 FCI Tallinn this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Ken Kallaste 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 FCI Tallinn, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

FCI Tallinn through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Narva Trans, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

Silver Liivak breaks Narva Trans hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Silver Liivak scored in the 86th minute, Narva Trans had already begun thinking about the journey home, and FCI Tallinn took the lot.

Market

Tammeka come back empty-handed

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

Market

Karol Puri 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 FCI Tallinn can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Antonio González in a row with a teammate

Boardroom

FCI Tallinn beat the market to Kevin Anderson from Tammeka

Tammeka will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Kevin Anderson has pre-agreed a move to FCI Tallinn, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ken Kallaste 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

FCI Tallinn lose Rauno Ojamaa

32 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Silver Antonov

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
