Match

Chastening afternoon for Parnu

A 1‑5 beating by Narva Trans was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Ken Liivak 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 The request is on a desk at Parnu, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

The wait goes on for Parnu

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.

Match

Kevin Díaz among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Kevin Díaz on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Parnu and Narva Trans.

Squad

Ken Liivak lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Squad

Ken Liivak 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

Victor Chuvilov gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

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.

Squad

Parnu lose Silver Sorga

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

Market

Vlasi Antonov 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 The request is on a desk at Parnu, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Parnu

Rauno Klavan 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.

Squad

Manuel Pérez 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Sander Klavan 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.

Squad

Words at Parnu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Manuel Pérez 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.

Market

Still no ink between Parnu and Victor Chuvilov

“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 Victor Chuvilov.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Parnu

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

Rauno Klavan loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Rauno Klavan. Parnu will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Squad

Victor Chuvilov knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Victor Chuvilov trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
