The terraces

Supporters organise against the Bryne board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market

Only the photograph left for Edgar Mota

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Edgar Mota will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Bryne the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom

Edgar Mota signs for Molde while still at Bryne

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Edgar Mota has agreed terms with Molde for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

A falling-out at Bryne

Duarte Moreira and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at Bryne training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lukas Ibertsberger 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.

Match

Bryne see off HamKam

Three points for Bryne, 1‑0 the final word against HamKam in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Anton Ekeroth out for 35 days

The medical room confirms 35 days on the sidelines for Anton Ekeroth, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Bryne lose Marcus Meling

26 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Oliver Midtgård

7.87, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Bryne had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The terraces

Anger at Bryne 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.

Match

Bryne taken apart

0‑3 to Lillestrom, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market

Elias Jandrisevits 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 The request is on a desk at Bryne, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Filippo Bertaccini has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Bryne they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

A falling-out at Bryne

Duarte Moreira and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

Leo Lif 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

Bryne count the cost of losing Anton Ekeroth

66 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Bryne lose Marcus Meling

55 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Boardroom

Inquest at Bryne

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.
