Squad

Tempers go at Parnu

Mihkel Baranov 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

Brent Liivak wants to come home

“I did not go to Tammeka to sit and watch. I want to come back to Parnu and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Squad

Words at Parnu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Karol 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.

Squad

Mihkel Baranov 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.

Loan watch

Markus Marin has seen enough of Tammeka

“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 0 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Karol Pikk has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Parnu will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

Ken Igonen runs his contract down

5 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Parnu money.

Squad

Taijo Kallaste 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.

Mihkel Baranov falls out with a teammate over standards

Market

Talks stall between Parnu and Ken Igonen

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

“I watch every Parnu game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Tammeka runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

Parnu lose Karl Sorga

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

Market

Joonas Sappinen 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

Parnu sell Sergei Klavan for $52.0K

Sergei Klavan has left for Kuban Holding in a $52.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The small margins put Parnu out

Out, 1‑2 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.

Player ratings

A debut Karol Pikk will not forget — 7.34

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.34 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad

Tempers go at Parnu

Taijo 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Hendrik Antonov

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

Squad

Silver Sorga 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sergei Klavan

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Parnu count the cost of losing Karl Sorga

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

Market

Brent Ainsalu is free to find somewhere else

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

Market

The shop window has Markus Puri in it

Parnu have let the market know Markus Puri can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad

Hendrik Antonov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Hendrik Antonov commits to Parnu for another 2 years.

Squad

Taijo Kallaste 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.

Market

Eyes on Brent Liivak again

The phone has started ringing about Brent Liivak again, and this time the name on the line is Flora. Parnu are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Mihkel Baranov 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.

Market

Nobody at Parnu has picked up the phone to Hendrik Antonov

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market

Erik Antonov is free to find somewhere else

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