The terraces1 Jul 2030

Anger at Parnu spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match29 Jun 2030

11 matches without a win for Parnu

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Parnu are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom1 Jul 2030

The scrutiny sharpens at Parnu

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Parnu is running low.

Match1 Jul 2030

Every point is an argument now for Parnu

Position 10 and 11 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market1 Jul 2030

Parnu turn down Sillamae Kalev for Sergei Tamm

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market1 Jul 2030

Nikita Degtyarev 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 Parnu can pretend not to have heard.

Match29 Jun 2030

6 matches without a goal for Parnu

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 6 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad1 Jul 2030

Words at Parnu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sergei Tamm is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad1 Jul 2030

Tempers go at Parnu

Alexey Legchilin 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 ratings5 Mar 2029

Karl Sappinen scores twice — 8.28

Two goals and a mark of 8.28 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market5 Mar 2029

Only the photograph left for Hendrik Kait

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Hendrik Kait will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Parnu the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market5 Mar 2029

Jackson Shorrocks puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Parnu, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Konstantin Dmitrijev 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.

Boardroom5 Mar 2029

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Parnu

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Match3 Mar 2029

Parnu see off Tulevik

Three points for Parnu, 2‑1 the final word against Tulevik in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Jake Wilcox falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces5 Mar 2029

Parnu supporters have found a favourite in Karl Sappinen

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 18-year-old it feels ownership of. Karl Sappinen has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market5 Mar 2029

Marek Mets steps up from the Parnu academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Marek Mets has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
