The IFK Mariehamn Sentinel
The terraces17 Apr 2028
The mood at IFK Mariehamn has turned into something else
Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.
Match15 Apr 2028
The wait goes on for IFK Mariehamn
11 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

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

No sign of nerves from Malte Heyde at 21 — 8.13
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Malte Heyde did not need any: 8.13, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Kevin Lund is on his way

5 academy graduates step up at IFK Mariehamn
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Ekenäs IF take the points off IFK Mariehamn
Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

IFK Mariehamn rebuffed over Ali-Abubakar Torfiq
