Squad28 Jan 2030

Mathias Kjølø damages knee ligaments — 70 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 70 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.

Squad28 Jan 2030

Ole-Didrik Blomberg 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.

Squad28 Jan 2030

Tempers go at Brann

Mathias Kjølø 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.

The dugout28 Jan 2030

Nana Boakye 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.

The dugout28 Jan 2030

Joel Mvuka has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Brann will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout28 Jan 2030

Jakob Segadal Hansen 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 Brann, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market28 Jan 2030

The Sævar Atli Magnússon talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Brann know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout28 Jan 2030

Sebastian Selin has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Sebastian Selin has written the date down.

Market28 Jan 2030

Brann put Odera Samuel Onuchukwu Adindu up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Odera Samuel Onuchukwu Adindu may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad14 May 2029

Sander Lønning wins the shoot-out

3 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Squad14 May 2029

The knee: Niclas Semmen out for 40 days

40 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Brann lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match9 May 2029

Lars Odegaard sends Brann through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Lars Odegaard obliged against Mjondalen. 1‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Brann.

Match12 May 2029

A 3-goal lead gone for Brann

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. KFUM Oslo kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Brann will be asked about the last half hour all week.

The dugout14 May 2029

Joel Mvuka: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Brann have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings14 May 2029

Lars Odegaard, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.89

A mark of 7.89 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match12 May 2029

Whatever happens, Brann do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Market14 May 2029

Only the photograph left for Julian Lægreid

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Julian Lægreid will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Brann the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad14 May 2029

Ole-Didrik Blomberg 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.

Squad29 Jan 2029

A fracture rules Bård Finne out for 119 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Brann will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market29 Jan 2029

Wrexham come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Brann did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad29 Jan 2029

Ole-Didrik Blomberg 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.

Squad29 Jan 2029

Andreas Helmersen 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 Brann this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout29 Jan 2029

Denzel De Roeve 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.

Squad29 Jan 2029

Ruben Henriksen stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ruben Henriksen and Brann agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout29 Jan 2029

Sævar Atli Magnússon has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Brann will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout29 Jan 2029

Markus Haaland 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 Brann, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market29 Jan 2029

The Jacob Sørensen story refuses to die

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