Tarik Ibrahimagic runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Dagur Traustason 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 Vikingur can pretend not to have heard.

Darri Bergmann Gylfason keeps Vikingur in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Kari Gunnarsson: 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.” Vikingur have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Vikingur rebuffed over Lukas Stridsberg
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Breidablik have kept their man, and Vikingur go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Sander Berge signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Sander Berge commits to Vikingur for another 3 years.

Vikingur and Jón Sölvi Símonarson are talking past each other
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
