Nobody could get near Tidiam Gomis

Successful dribbles: 36. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad8 Jan 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Robert Berger

14 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Union Berlin lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

A brace, and Ilyas Ansah takes the afternoon — 8.36

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Ilyas Ansah provided it, and the 8.36 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad8 Jan 2035

Felix Uduokhai: 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.” Union Berlin have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Ben Chivers 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 The request is on a desk at Union Berlin, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad8 Jan 2035

Tempers go at Union Berlin

Ilyas Ansah 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.

Market8 Jan 2035

St. Pauli expected to open talks for Tom Rothe

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Union Berlin will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad8 Jan 2035

Tom Rothe 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.

Match6 Jan 2035

Union Berlin see off Heidenheim

Three points for Union Berlin, 3‑1 the final word against Heidenheim in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match30 Dec 2034

29 matches without a win for Union Berlin

The run now stands at 29, and the questions being asked around Union Berlin are no longer polite ones.

Match1 Jan 2035

Union Berlin are in real trouble now

Position 18, 4 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad1 Jan 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Robert Berger

21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Union Berlin lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match30 Dec 2034

Union Berlin taken apart

0‑4 to Borussia Dortmund, 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.

Squad1 Jan 2035

Frederik Rønnow keeps Union Berlin in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom1 Jan 2035

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Union Berlin

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Nobody could get near Tidiam Gomis

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad1 Jan 2035

Ilyas Ansah 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 Union Berlin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad1 Jan 2035

Words at Union Berlin training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tom Rothe 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.
