Match

The small margins put Farense out

Out, 1‑2 to Oliveirense, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Match

Farense run riot against Fafe

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad

Sebastián Alarcón stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings

Both of them Wesley Pomba's — 8.76

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.76, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Uroš Mojsilović 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 Farense can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Patrik Treni says Farense went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Tempers go at Farense

Wesley Pomba 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 dugout

No hiding place for Joseph Kemin

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Joseph Kemin, and the manager let it.

Squad

Farense are still strangers to each other

7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

In brief

  • The dugout The view from the dugout

Market

Mikhail Pykhcheev 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 Farense can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Farense

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Farense

Zé Couto and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Words at Farense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Roger Manríque 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.

Squad

Cameron Wright wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Farense know it.

Squad

Farense are still strangers to each other

10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

Hensen Anponsa 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.

Market

Still no ink between Farense and Aly Sidibé

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Farense, another week without a signature from Aly Sidibé.

Market

The Wesley Pomba story refuses to die

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

In brief
