Karol Zenjov 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 The request is on a desk at FCI Tallinn, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Sillamae Kalev join the queue for Sander Klavan

Add another name to the list: Sillamae Kalev have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Sander Klavan. The answer from FCI Tallinn has not changed — yet.

Squad

Words at FCI Tallinn training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ben Martino 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

Victor Hugo 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.

Squad

FCI Tallinn count the cost of losing Rauno Hein

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

FCI Tallinn lose Karol Mets

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

Squad

Ben Martino decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

FCI Tallinn march on in the cup

Nomme Kalju are out and FCI Tallinn go through, 0‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Nikita Saltykov

Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Hendrik 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 The request is on a desk at FCI Tallinn, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Sillamae Kalev 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

Tammeka watching Sander Puri

The interest is real enough to have reached print. FCI Tallinn have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Ben Martino is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Ben Martino: 4 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

FCI Tallinn march on in the cup

Narva Trans are out and FCI Tallinn go through, 0‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market

Brent Tamm 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.

Market

FCI Tallinn say no — this time

The offer from Tammeka for Nikita Vassiljev 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.

Market

Eyes on Sander Klavan again

The phone has started ringing about Sander Klavan again, and this time the name on the line is Sillamae Kalev. FCI Tallinn are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Words at FCI Tallinn training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vlasi Antonov 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

Nobody could get near Taijo Teniste

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

Squad

Tempers go at FCI Tallinn

Liliu 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.

Player ratings

Nikita Vassiljev misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.
