Vasilije Delibašić 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.

Squad14 Jan 2036

Marcus Lien signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marcus Lien commits to Lillestrom for another 4 years.

A falling-out at Lillestrom

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

The dugout14 Jan 2036

Angelos Chaminta 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.

Market14 Jan 2036

The Jesper Svenungsen Skau talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Lillestrom know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market14 Jan 2036

The clock does Luka Miletić’s negotiating for him

3 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Lillestrom could ask drops and the wages Luka Miletić can ask rise.

Market14 Jan 2036

Still no ink between Lillestrom and Mats Falk Skodjevåg

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

Match14 Jan 2036

Lillestrom have something to play for

Position 6 on 45 points, and the places that carry a European ticket are close enough to count. Seasons like this are decided by two results in April, and the club knows which two.

Squad14 Jan 2036

Angelos Chaminta wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Lillestrom will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Squad7 Jan 2036

Jonas Torsvik is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Lillestrom will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Squad7 Jan 2036

Harmony Okwumo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Harmony Okwumo and Lillestrom agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad7 Jan 2036

Words at Lillestrom training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jón Hrafn 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.

Squad7 Jan 2036

Words exchanged at Lillestrom

Stefan Odegaard 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 dugout7 Jan 2036

Philip Sørlie Bro has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Lillestrom will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market7 Jan 2036

Lillestrom and Jón Hrafn Barkarson are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
