Match

12 matches without a win for Parnu

The run now stands at 12, and the questions being asked around Parnu are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Liliu Antonov keeps Parnu in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Matteo Gentile asks to leave Parnu

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Parnu

Kirill Premudrov 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.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Aleksandrs Ikaunieks

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 20 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

Eris Kurtulaj runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

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

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

Squad

Eris Kurtulaj signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Eris Kurtulaj and Parnu agree another 5 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Parnu

Kirill Premudrov 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.

Match

Parnu come up short against Sillamae Kalev

Sillamae Kalev left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

No hiding place for Silver Sappinen

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Silver Sappinen, and the manager let it.

Squad

Kirill Balanovich knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Parnu, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Silver Hein keeps Parnu in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 12 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Sergei Klavan sends Parnu through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Sergei Klavan obliged against Tammeka. 1‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Parnu.

Match

Parnu are in real trouble now

Position 9, 2 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market

Matteo Gentile asks to leave Parnu

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Parnu

Kirill Premudrov 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.

Player ratings

Sergei Klavan in the eights

A performance of 8.98 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

A bad afternoon for Parnu against Levadia

0‑2 to Levadia, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

No hiding place for Silver Sappinen

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Silver Sappinen, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Karl Pikk

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 18 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Market

Frank Klavan asks to leave Parnu

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

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

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

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 9 of the 31 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad

Tempers go at Parnu

Kirill Premudrov 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Parnu against Flora

0‑2 to Flora, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Kirill Premudrov 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.

Squad

Frank Klavan asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Konstantin Marin

Marked 5.60, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Sergei Kruglov

A mark of 5.65 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.
