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.
6 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.
“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.

Hendrik Pikk 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.

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Hendrik Pikk 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.
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sander 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.
Bohdan Kovalenko is 20, and Parnu have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
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.
16 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Parnu lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The offer from Tulevik for Sander Ainsalu was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Parnu, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. Nikita Mets has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.

A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.
