Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Bukovyna boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad

Bohdan Boichuk 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 Bukovyna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Home is on Tomas Valdecantos's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Bukovyna are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Ivan Tyshchenko 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.

Market

Bukovyna sign Sergiu Mitrita, one for the future

Sergiu Mitrita is 18, and Bukovyna have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Bukovyna buy the years ahead of Jorge Rey

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

The Parnu Chronicle

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

No end in sight to Parnu's wait for a win

18 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Parnu has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

A hiding for Parnu

Beaten 0‑3 by Levadia, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad

Kirill Premudrov 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

The manager makes an example of Kirill Premudrov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Parnu

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

Costly mistake from Liliu Antonov

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Liliu Antonov knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Market

The Artur Mets story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Artur Mets signs something — a contract at Parnu or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Player ratings

Silver Sappinen never got going

5.53 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Mihkel Kallaste

A mark of 5.76 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.
