Squad

Hilmar Karlsson breaks a bone — 31 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 31 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Only the photograph left for Kristján Oddur Haagensen

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Kristján Oddur Haagensen will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around FH the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

A falling-out at FH

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

Squad

Ísak Óli Ólafsson 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.

The dugout

Guðmundur Andri Tryggvason 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 Guðmundur Andri Tryggvason is on it.

The dugout

Davor Bistre 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 Davor Bistre trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Arnór Borg Guðjohnsen linked with a move away

The name of Arnór Borg Guðjohnsen keeps appearing in other people's back pages. FH say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Arngrímur Bjartur Guðmundsson has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Arngrímur Bjartur Guðmundsson has written the date down.

Boardroom

Continental nights are coming to FH

Qualification is secured, and next season the big floodlit nights are continental ones. For the players it is a stage; for the accounts it is a lifeline; for the supporters it is passports.

Squad

94 days out for Hilmar Karlsson after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. FH will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Kjartan Kári Halldórsson honoured for the season

The kind of year that ends with a name being read out in a hall. FH had the benefit of it every week and now have the problem of everybody else knowing.

Market

Kári Kristjánsson is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at FH is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Kjartan Kári Halldórsson signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Kjartan Kári Halldórsson and FH agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at FH

Jökull Andrésson 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Aron Jónsson

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

Market

FH sign Andreas Wimmer, one for the future

Andreas Wimmer is 19, and FH have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

The dugout

Kjartan Kári Halldórsson 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 Kjartan Kári Halldórsson is on it.
