Match4 Sep 2027

IBV tear Breidablik apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Breidablik, and it could have been more.

Market6 Sep 2027

Liam Daði Jeffs asks to leave IBV

“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 ratings6 Sep 2027

A brace, and Kristófer Orri Pétursson takes the afternoon — 9.28

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Kristófer Orri Pétursson provided it, and the 9.28 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The dugout6 Sep 2027

Ari Petersen says IBV went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Words exchanged at IBV

Vicente Valor 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.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Words at IBV training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Omar Sowe 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 ratings6 Sep 2027

Omar Sowe in the eights

A performance of 8.99 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match4 Sep 2027

At last: IBV win one

5 matches without a win, and then this, against Breidablik. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Match4 Sep 2027

Breidablik blown away early

There is a particular helplessness in conceding 2 times before the twentieth minute. Breidablik tried to reorganise, IBV did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.

Market15 Mar 2027

IBV say no — this time

The offer from FH for Omar Sowe was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Words at IBV training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Elvis Bwomono 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.

Transfer targets15 Mar 2027

Door shut on Alexandr Olenev

IBV asked and Nart said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad15 Mar 2027

A falling-out at IBV

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

The dugout15 Mar 2027

Hermann Þór Ragnarsson 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.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Kristófer Orri Pétursson is a square peg at IBV

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market30 Nov 2026

Elvis Bwomono 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 IBV can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Ari Petersen keeps the receipts

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

Squad30 Nov 2026

Tempers go at IBV

Vicente Valor 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.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Viggó Valgeirsson stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Viggó Valgeirsson and IBV agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad30 Nov 2026

A row about effort at IBV

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

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Elvis Bwomono knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at IBV, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market31 Aug 2026

Sigurður Arnar Magnússon 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 IBV, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match29 Aug 2026

The wait goes on for IBV

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Vicente Valor 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 IBV this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A row about effort at IBV

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

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at IBV

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Kolbeinn Hermannsson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kolbeinn Hermannsson commits to IBV for another 3 years.

Match29 Aug 2026

Honours even between IBV and Stjarnan

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Half-satisfied: Olafur Bodvarsson on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The form table has caught Sigurður Arnar Magnússon

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
