The terraces

Anger at Parnu spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Boardroom

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.

Match

Parnu are in real trouble now

Position 9, 10 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.

Squad

Williams Alfaro gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Williams Alfaro has just signed for Parnu, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Konstantin Marin 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 Parnu

Ken Zenjov 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Brent Vassiljev

There were 12 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Joonas Mets 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 Parnu can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Sergei Kruglov 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Parnu

Vlasi 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.

Loan watch

Sander Igonen wants to come home

“I did not go to Narva Trans to sit and watch. I want to come back to Parnu and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 17 matches say the rest.

Squad

Sander Ojamaa 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

Vlasi Kallaste damages knee ligaments — 26 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 26 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

Parnu are in real trouble now

Position 9, 7 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.

Match

Parnu find a way past Tulevik

Tulevik made Parnu work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Loan watch

Karol Tamm has seen enough of FCI Tallinn

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Parnu, and 3 appearances in 17 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Konstantin Marin 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 ratings

Nobody could get near Marek Kruglov

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Brent Tamm was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.12. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings

Martin Kait was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.07. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Words at Parnu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sander Ojamaa 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Vlasi Kallaste

54 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.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Parnu

A 0‑4 beating by Levadia was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match

Parnu are in real trouble now

Position 10, 1 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Silver Tamm

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

Boardroom

Nobody left the Parnu dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Loan watch

Karol Tamm has seen enough of FCI Tallinn

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Parnu, and 2 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Vlasi Kallaste damages knee ligaments — 125 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 125 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

Nomme Kalju 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.

Market

Joonas Mets 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.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Erik Zenjov

60 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Ken Zenjov out for 32 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.

Market

Joonas Mets 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.

Market

Still no ink between Parnu and Zeki Aliev

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Parnu, another week without a signature from Zeki Aliev.

Erik Zenjov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Erik Zenjov and Parnu agree another 2 years.

No place for Eero Granlund in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Eero Granlund has his answer from Parnu; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
