A knee injury of the worst kind for Eduards Vanins

47 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.

Tempers go at Parnu

Rustam Vazitdinov 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.

Home is on Duarte Furtado's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Parnu are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Marek Igonen damages knee ligaments — 72 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 72 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.

Rustam Vazitdinov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Rustam Vazitdinov and Parnu agree another 4 years.

Eduards Vanins breaks a bone — 67 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 67 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Rauno Klavan 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.

Rauno Klavan 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.

The small margins put Parnu out

Out, 0‑1 to Tammeka, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market17 Aug 2026

Parnu turn down Flora for Markus Sappinen

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

No hiding place for Brent Igonen

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

Artur Sappinen signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Artur Sappinen commits to Parnu for another 3 years.

Words at Parnu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Liliu Sappinen 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.
