Squad

Artur Sorga is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Artur Sorga: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

The small margins put Parnu out

Out, 0‑0 to Flora, 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

Nobody could get near Siphamandla Sabelo

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Erik 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.

Squad

Khalid Shakhtiev 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.

Squad

Siphamandla Sabelo 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

Parnu lose Martin Puri

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

Market

Tulevik join the queue for Silver Teniste

Add another name to the list: Tulevik have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Silver Teniste. The answer from Parnu has not changed — yet.

Player ratings

Zeki Aliev 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.

Squad

Mihkel Baranov stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mihkel Baranov and Parnu agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Parnu

Joonas 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.

Squad

Words at Parnu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Artur Kats 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

Flora join the queue for Joonas Kruglov

Add another name to the list: Flora have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Joonas Kruglov. The answer from Parnu has not changed — yet.

Squad

This league is too small for Khalid Shakhtiev

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Parnu will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market

Parnu and Khalid Shakhtiev are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

In brief
