Gatis Oss damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Eduards Ikaunieks asks to leave Skonto

“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.

Squad

Juan Martín Rojas 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

Gatis Oss damages knee ligaments — 27 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 27 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Janis Stolcers asks to leave Skonto

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Skonto

Juan Martín Rojas 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gatis Bulvitis

Successful dribbles: 52. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

The unthinkable, invoiced: Roberts Zjuzins sold

Akron arrived with $2.5M and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

Squad

Gatis Oss damages knee ligaments — 34 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 34 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

The cup run ends for Skonto

1‑3 against Jelgava, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

The terraces

Skonto sell a favourite for $2.5M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Roberts Zjuzins was one of the reasons people came, and $2.5M does not replace that by itself.

Market

Raivis Rugins 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

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gatis Oss

42 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.

Market

Akron join the queue for Roberts Zjuzins

Add another name to the list: Akron have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Roberts Zjuzins. The answer from Skonto has not changed — yet.

Squad

Davis Jagodinskis 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

Ariel Schuartzman 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

Ariel Schuartzman has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Skonto know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

Kristaps Gabovs is free to find somewhere else

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