The terraces

Anger at Stabaek spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

The dugout

Marius Ulla: 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.” Stabaek have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Sebastian Olderheim at 20 — 7.66

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Sebastian Olderheim did not need any: 7.66, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings

Justin Salmon goes up and wins it — 7.26

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.26 for the rest of it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stabaek

Marius Lundemo 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.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Stabaek

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.

Boardroom

Still no name above the door at Stabaek

Day 9 of the vacancy. Candidates have been priced, sounded out and quietly ruled out — and the caretaker’s win ratio is becoming an argument all by itself.

Transfer targets

Aarhus Fremad tell Stabaek: Seth Annink is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The terraces

Stabaek supporters have found a favourite in Sebastian Olderheim

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Sebastian Olderheim has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

In brief
