Michalis Koukou damages knee ligaments — 45 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 45 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

A one-man rearguard from Panagiotis Kyriakou
There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Match8 Jan 2029
Ermis sink to position 13
12 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.
Boardroom8 Jan 2029
Interim Coach has until the next board meeting
What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Ermis can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.
Match6 Jan 2029
Chastening afternoon for Ermis
A 0‑3 beating by APOEL was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

AE Kition join the queue for Olav Øby
Add another name to the list: AE Kition have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Olav Øby. The answer from Ermis has not changed — yet.

Ivan Ljubić 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 Ermis this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A move Daniel Battistella would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Daniel Battistella is living that version at Ermis, and it tends to show in the first month.
Boardroom8 Jan 2029
Nobody left the Ermis 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.
In brief
- Market A long bet from Ermis on Nils Larsson
- Boardroom $89.2K taken back off the Ermis table
- Market Ermis pick up Daniel Battistella for nothing
