From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Bodo/Glimt up to position 1

35 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market

Argentinos Juniors come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Bodo/Glimt did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Kasper Høgh moves on

Racing Club pay $12.4M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

The terraces

Bodo/Glimt sell a favourite for $12.4M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Kasper Høgh was one of the reasons people came, and $12.4M does not replace that by itself.

Market

Patrick Berg wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Bodo/Glimt hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Market

Fredrik Sjøvold wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Patrick Berg 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

Sondre Auklend 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 Bodo/Glimt this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

When it matters, Jens Petter Hauge plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Boardroom

Silverware for Bodo/Glimt

They will talk about this season in this town for a long time. The trophy comes home with the squad, and the route is already agreed.

Squad

Nikita Haikin decides it from twelve yards

4 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.

Match

Ole-Didrik Blomberg sends Bodo/Glimt through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Ole-Didrik Blomberg obliged against Rosenborg. 1‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Bodo/Glimt.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Bodo/Glimt

The unbeaten run reaches 14. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Player ratings

Ole-Didrik Blomberg runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Julian Faye Lund: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Bodo/Glimt have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Håkon Evjen wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Jens Petter Hauge 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 Bodo/Glimt this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Bodo/Glimt training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patrick Berg 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

Ola Brynhildsen runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Patrick Berg wants more than Bodo/Glimt are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Match

Nobody wants to play Bodo/Glimt right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Jens Petter Hauge 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.

Match

Bodo/Glimt get the job done against Aalesund

A 1‑0 win over Aalesund, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Ola Brynhildsen named player of the month

The award goes to Ola Brynhildsen, and nobody around here is inclined to argue with the choice.

Player ratings

Ole-Didrik Blomberg takes the honours

Marked 7.88 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Bodo/Glimt had the best player on the pitch.

Squad

Tempers go at Bodo/Glimt

Alan Ferreyra 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

Bodo/Glimt keep their word to Jostein Gundersen

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Bodo/Glimt through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Viking, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

Nobody wants to play Bodo/Glimt right now

7 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

A fracture rules Sturla Sagatun-Kristjánsson out for 38 days

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

Player ratings

Ole-Didrik Blomberg runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Kasper Høgh 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 Bodo/Glimt this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Fredrik Bjørkan raises the bar for Bodo/Glimt

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Bodo/Glimt heard it as anything else.

Squad

Jens Petter Hauge 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.

Boardroom

Kristian Eriksen will join Bodo/Glimt for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Kristian Eriksen has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Bodo/Glimt have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Jens Petter Hauge

Marked 8.26 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
