Match

No end in sight to Leiknir's wait for a win

14 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Leiknir has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Mattia La Penna has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Words at Leiknir training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ólafur Íshólm Ólafsson 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.

Match

Valur take the points off Leiknir

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ágúst Orri Þorsteinsson

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Dmitry Stotskiy

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Leiknir are in real trouble now

Position 10, 11 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match

6 matches without a win for Leiknir

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Leiknir are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Hilmar Örn Pétursson keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Đorđe Vladisavljević signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Đorđe Vladisavljević and Leiknir agree another 3 years.

Squad

Dmitry Stotskiy 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 Leiknir this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Paris Elmensdorp 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

Ásgeir Orri Magnússon decides it from twelve yards

3 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ágúst Orri Þorsteinsson

Successful dribbles: 38. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Leiknir through in the cup

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

Match

5 matches without a win for Leiknir

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Leiknir are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Leiknir

Ólafur Íshólm Ólafsson 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

Words at Leiknir training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dmitry Stotskiy 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

Paris Elmensdorp told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Paris Elmensdorp has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Leiknir.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Enis Berisha

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Dagur Ingi Hammer misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

Dmitry Stotskiy stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Dmitry Stotskiy and Leiknir agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Ólafur Íshólm Ólafsson 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

Felipe Álvarez wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Leiknir know it.

Match

A bad afternoon for Leiknir against Valur

0‑2 to Valur, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Ólafur Íshólm Ólafsson

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

The manager has not finished forgetting Paris Elmensdorp's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Player ratings

An afternoon Paris Elmensdorp will want back

Marked 4.78. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Leiknir — 7.24

Both of them Dagur Ingi Hammer's — 9.20

Match

Dagur Ingi Hammer among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Dagur Ingi Hammer on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Leiknir and Fylkir.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Jón Hrafn Barkarson

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Anton Fannar Kjartansson named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Anton Fannar Kjartansson is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Squad

The division's best last weekend was a Leiknir man

It is a small honour and it is not nothing: somebody watched every match in the division and decided that Dagur Ingi Hammer was the best thing in any of them.

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Ólafur Íshólm Ólafsson: 3 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Leiknir through in the cup

A 0‑0 win over Stjarnan, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $54.0K sale of Marko Zivkovic

He is going to Keflavik, the club has $54.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Match

4 matches without a win for Leiknir

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Leiknir are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Dmitry Stotskiy 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 Leiknir this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Marko Zivkovic moves on

Keflavik pay $54.0K, 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.

Squad

Words at Leiknir training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Brynjar Hlöðvers 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

This league is too small for Dmitry Stotskiy

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Leiknir will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Player ratings

Aron Skúli Brynjarsson misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

Squad

Ólafur Íshólm Ólafsson 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 Leiknir this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Dmitry Stotskiy 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

Stjarnan take the points off Leiknir

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Dmitry Stotskiy

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Dimitris Pinakas 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. Leiknir know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

Keflavik are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Leiknir will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.
