Squad

A fracture rules Nikola Stanković out for 110 days

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

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.” 5 of the 25 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Ermis

2 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match

Anorthosis take the points off Ermis

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Branco Serrano 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.

Market

One of our own: Nikos Nicolaou joins the Ermis first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Nikos Nicolaou is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Ermis promote Kostakis Nicolaou from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Kostakis Nicolaou has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Olav Øby 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

Panagiotis Kyriakou 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 Ermis this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

In brief
