Sebastian Griesbeck breaks a bone — 26 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

No end in sight to IK Start's wait for a win
7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at IK Start has to find a result from somewhere.

Sebastian Griesbeck 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 IK Start can pretend not to have heard.

Graduation day at IK Start
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

No hiding place for John Olav Norheim
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to John Olav Norheim, and the manager let it.

IK Start promote Erling Hauge from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Erling Hauge has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
