Vintage Henri Anier — 8.50
At 36 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.50, and nobody on the pitch better.
Squad26 Apr 2027
Tempers go at Paide
Daniel Cabral 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.

Nobody could get near Edgar Tur
Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Match24 Apr 2027
Henri Anier the difference as Paide beat Nomme Kalju
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Henri Anier. 2‑1 against Nomme Kalju, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
The terraces26 Apr 2027
One of their own: Godwin Chinemeren
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Paide lose Silver Dmitrijev
45 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
The dugout26 Apr 2027
Jonatan Lima 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.

The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Karl Kait, on a 2‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Bookings catch up with Nikita Baranov
One yellow too many, and a match watched from the stand. The most avoidable absence in football, and Paide will feel it on Saturday.
