The knee: Marco Castellacci out for 31 days
31 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Hødd lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Simone Spinelli: 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.” Hødd have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Carlos Almiron is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Hødd is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Nobody could get near Erling Strandberg
Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

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.

Hødd come up short against Kongsvinger
Kongsvinger left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

No signings allowed at Hødd
The manager may talk to whoever he likes and may pay nobody. A squad survives a window like this by borrowing, by promoting, and by hoping the injuries land somewhere else.

Ruben Johansen 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.

Costly mistake from Marcus Eskildsen
An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Marcus Eskildsen knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.
In brief
- The dugout Miguel Ángel Ríos: “No excuses”
- Squad Tempers go at Hødd
- The dugout Marcus Eskildsen is still being punished for one mistake
