The dugout17 Dec 2035

Thomas Ryerson keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” IK Start may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market17 Dec 2035

Kristian Linnes steps up from the IK Start academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Kristian Linnes has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market17 Dec 2035

One of our own: Lars Haaland joins the IK Start first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Lars Haaland is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market17 Dec 2035

IK Start promote Hakon Bohinen from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Hakon Bohinen has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market17 Dec 2035

Martin Daehli steps up from the IK Start academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Martin Daehli has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad17 Dec 2035

Marcus Singh signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marcus Singh commits to IK Start for another 3 years.

Squad17 Dec 2035

Tempers go at IK Start

Ole King 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 dugout17 Dec 2035

Sander Rød 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.

Squad17 Dec 2035

Jonas Thorsby: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one IK Start will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

The terraces10 Sep 2035

Anger at IK Start 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.

Squad10 Sep 2035

A fracture rules Siyabonga Buda out for 38 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason IK Start will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market10 Sep 2035

Thomas Johansen hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what IK Start can pretend not to have heard.

Squad10 Sep 2035

Jonas Myhrstad out for 39 days

The medical room confirms 39 days on the sidelines for Jonas Myhrstad, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market10 Sep 2035

Aron King told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Aron King has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at IK Start.

Market10 Sep 2035

Still no ink between IK Start and Benjamin Sundo

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

Squad10 Sep 2035

Marcus Singh signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marcus Singh commits to IK Start for another 3 years.

Squad10 Sep 2035

Ole King in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at IK Start this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout10 Sep 2035

The manager makes an example of Vladimir Vydra

“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.

Player ratings9 Apr 2035

Stian Sorloth could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.37

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.37, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Squad9 Apr 2035

A one-man rearguard from Nicholas Mathiesen

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market9 Apr 2035

Aron King is a IK Start player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad9 Apr 2035

A falling-out at IK Start

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

Boardroom9 Apr 2035

7 academy players handed senior numbers at IK Start

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets9 Apr 2035

IK Start rebuffed over Jens Sorloth

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Valerenga have kept their man, and IK Start go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market9 Apr 2035

IK Start promote Kristian Odegaard from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Kristian Odegaard has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
