Market12 Nov 2029

Leander Øy 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 The request is on a desk at Stromsgodset, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad12 Nov 2029

Words exchanged at Stromsgodset

Fredrik Ardraa 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.

Squad12 Nov 2029

Aleksander Borgersen 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.

Market12 Nov 2029

Aleksander van der Spa told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Aleksander van der Spa has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Stromsgodset.

The dugout12 Nov 2029

Marcus Mehnert 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.

Market12 Nov 2029

Still no ink between Stromsgodset and Bent Sørmo

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Stromsgodset, another week without a signature from Bent Sørmo.

The dugout12 Nov 2029

Bent Sørmo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Bent Sørmo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market12 Nov 2029

Ole Enersen runs his contract down

1 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Stromsgodset money.

Squad12 Nov 2029

Aleksander Borgersen has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Stromsgodset that is a harder question to answer.

Boardroom5 Nov 2029

Marco Montes takes the Stromsgodset job

“I have watched this squad. There is more in it than the table says.” First press conference, first promise — Marco Montes made the one every new manager makes, and now comes the part where it gets checked.

The dugout5 Nov 2029

Jens Pedersen: 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.” Stromsgodset have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad5 Nov 2029

Gustav Wikheim signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gustav Wikheim commits to Stromsgodset for another 2 years.

Squad5 Nov 2029

Words exchanged at Stromsgodset

Mattias Lamhauge 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.

Squad5 Nov 2029

A row about effort at Stromsgodset

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

The dugout5 Nov 2029

Herman Stengel is playing like a man with something to prove

The oldest phenomenon in the sport: a new voice in the dressing room and suddenly everybody is available for everything. Herman Stengel is training as though the last team sheet never existed, because as far as he is concerned it does not.

Market5 Nov 2029

Marcus Mehnert told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Marcus Mehnert has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Stromsgodset.

Squad5 Nov 2029

Isak Vådebu makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Market5 Nov 2029

Talks stall between Stromsgodset and Jesper Taaje

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad25 Jun 2029

Mattias Lamhauge stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad25 Jun 2029

A falling-out at Stromsgodset

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

Squad25 Jun 2029

Words at Stromsgodset training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gustav Wikheim 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.

Player ratings25 Jun 2029

Ninety minutes of Alie Conteh at his very best

Marked 8.42. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Stromsgodset.

Match23 Jun 2029

Stromsgodset rescue it on 88 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 88. Tromso had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Match23 Jun 2029

Stromsgodset share the spoils with Tromso

A 2‑2 draw with Tromso leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout25 Jun 2029

Mattias Lamhauge gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mattias Lamhauge is on it.

The dugout25 Jun 2029

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Stefan Lien was not hiding it after 2‑2, and nobody in the Stromsgodset dressing room was either.

The dugout25 Jun 2029

Herman Stengel left out for tactical reasons at Stromsgodset

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad28 May 2029

Marius Refsnes breaks a bone — 36 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 36 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match26 May 2029

A 2-goal lead gone for Stromsgodset

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Molde kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Stromsgodset will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Player ratings28 May 2029

A brace, and Elias Hoff Melkersen takes the afternoon — 8.91

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Elias Hoff Melkersen provided it, and the 8.91 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match26 May 2029

4 matches without a win for Stromsgodset

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Stromsgodset are no longer polite ones.

Squad28 May 2029

Words exchanged at Stromsgodset

Mattias Lamhauge 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.

The dugout28 May 2029

The manager makes an example of Mattias Lamhauge

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad28 May 2029

Words at Stromsgodset training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aleksander Borgersen 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.

Match26 May 2029

Stromsgodset and Molde take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout28 May 2029

When it matters, Mattias Lamhauge plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

In brief
