Market31 Jul 2028

Terms done: Emmanuel Mensah is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Rosenborg waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Sogndal is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market31 Jul 2028

Even Hovland 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 The request is on a desk at Sogndal, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad31 Jul 2028

A fracture rules Stefan Strandberg out for 43 days

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

Match29 Jul 2028

The wait goes on for Sogndal

5 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.

Squad31 Jul 2028

Words at Sogndal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Atli Barkarson 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.

Squad31 Jul 2028

Sogndal count the cost of losing Marcus Riise

26 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad31 Jul 2028

A falling-out at Sogndal

Brunnel Tutuana and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout31 Jul 2028

Onni Helén 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.

The dugout31 Jul 2028

A promise honoured for Martin Høyland

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Sogndal told Martin Høyland something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout10 Apr 2028

Lasse Thomsen keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Sogndal may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings10 Apr 2028

A goal and an assist for Lūkass Vapne — 7.60

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.60 beside his name.

Squad10 Apr 2028

A falling-out at Sogndal

Lars Jendal and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom10 Apr 2028

5 academy graduates step up at Sogndal

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.

Squad10 Apr 2028

A row about effort at Sogndal

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Even Hovland was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match8 Apr 2028

Sogndal find a way past Hødd

Hødd made Sogndal work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces10 Apr 2028

One of their own: Tuomas Pippola

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout10 Apr 2028

No hiding place for Atli Barkarson

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

Market10 Apr 2028

Erling King steps up from the Sogndal academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Erling King has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
