The terraces

Anger at IBV 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.

Squad

Eiður Atli Rúnarsson damages knee ligaments — 111 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 111 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom

IBV put Gylfi Ingason on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Match

IBV sink to position 10

17 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

The dugout

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.

The dugout

Eiður Atli Rúnarsson frozen out at IBV

This is not rotation. Eiður Atli Rúnarsson has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at IBV is pretending otherwise.

Squad

A row about effort at IBV

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

Market

Cameron Scott already looking beyond IBV

He signed expecting a bigger stage than the one he found. It has not taken long, and it has not taken the dressing room long to notice either.

Squad

Tempers go at IBV

Ingi Þór Lúðvíksson 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.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Alex Freyr Hilmarsson damages knee ligaments — 79 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 79 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

IBV tear Fylkir apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Fylkir, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Kári Kristjánsson scores twice — 8.80

Two goals and a mark of 8.80 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match

IBV make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now IBV have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

Words at IBV training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vicente Valor 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.

Squad

Tempers go at IBV

Róbert Elís Hlynsson 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 terraces

One of their own: Kári Kristjánsson

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

IBV at the halfway mark

Half the programme played, position 4, 19 on the board. Doubling it is the sum every supporter has done and the only one nobody at the club will do out loud.

Loan watch

Sesar Örn Harðarson wants to come home

“I did not go to KR to sit and watch. I want to come back to IBV and fight for my place.” 4 appearances in 17 matches say the rest.
