Match

The small margins put Paide out

Out, 0‑0 to Nomme Kalju, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad

Ebrima Jarju decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Market

Mattias Sapp asks to leave Paide

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Bubacarr Trawally

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Paide

Daniel Cabral 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Martin Miller

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

Player ratings

The kick that got away from Gerdo Juhkam

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Squad

Words at Paide training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Siim Luts 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 ratings

Off the pace: Martin Miller

A mark of 5.62 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Market

Victor Hugo has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Paide they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom

Paide to lose Victor Hugo for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Victor Hugo has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Daniel Cabral 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 Paide this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Santiago Herrera has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Paide know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Squad

Siim Luts 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.

Squad

A season on the outside for Néstor Canelón

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Paide has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Squad

Bubacarr Trawally stays put

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

Squad

Tempers go at Paide

Daniel Cabral 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.

Market

Levadia watching Pa Modou Sohna

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Paide have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Nobody at Paide has picked up the phone to Ebrima Jarju

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad

Words at Paide training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Siim Luts 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.

Market

Victor Hugo is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Paide has been clear about where Victor Hugo stands, which is more than many ever get.
