The FF Jaro Sentinel

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Chastening afternoon for FF Jaro

A 0‑3 beating by VPS was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Rasmus Leislahti gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Rasmus Leislahti has just signed for FF Jaro, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets

Michele Tommasi will not be coming to FF Jaro

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Trento is saying, and nobody at FF Jaro is enjoying the guessing.

Boardroom

Johan Brunell has agreed to leave FF Jaro for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

Tempers go at FF Jaro

Matias Paavola 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.

Market

FF Jaro promote Paulus Valakari from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Paulus Valakari has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

FF Jaro promote Juho Pohjanpalo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Juho Pohjanpalo has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Riku Hamalainen joins the FF Jaro first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Riku Hamalainen is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

FF Jaro promote Onni Ojala from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Onni Ojala has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Jesper Svenungsen Skau signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jesper Svenungsen Skau and FF Jaro agree another 4 years.

Squad

Linus Zetterström 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 FF Jaro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at FF Jaro training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Erik Gunnarsson 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

100 appearances for Altti Hellemaa

100 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

Match

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 91 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon FF Jaro had all but put away. SJK will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Player ratings

Rudi Vikström runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Linus Zetterström stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.85 on the card, and the FF Jaro support went home talking about one name.

Market

Nobody at FF Jaro has picked up the phone to Senne Vits

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Francesco D'Alessio is in the works

FF Jaro have made the call to Cittadella. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

In brief
