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.

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.

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.
Match6 Nov 2028
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
In brief
- The dugout Elvis Bwomono gets picked when it counts
- The dugout Elvis Bwomono without the man who signed him
- Market Talks stall between IBV and Milan Jezdimirović
