Match

The wait goes on for Feirense

8 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Feirense

Jorge Fernandes 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

Benny 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

Feirense cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Match

Feirense come up short against Penafiel

Penafiel left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Jota 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.

Market

Talks stall between Feirense and Jota

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

5 new faces, and Feirense are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market

Guilherme Santos is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Feirense has been clear about where Guilherme Santos stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

Tempers go at Feirense

Jorge Fernandes 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

The manager makes an example of João Pedro

“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

A bad afternoon for Feirense against Chaves

0‑1 to Chaves, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Bruno Gallo 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

Feirense pick somebody else ahead of Raffaele Di Gennaro

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market

Still no ink between Feirense and Diogo Casimiro

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Feirense, another week without a signature from Diogo Casimiro.
