Jökull Andrésson 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 FH this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The manager makes an example of Darko Vukašinović

“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.

Jökull Andrésson has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at FH will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Match

FH refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 18 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Squad

When it matters, Tobias Carlsson 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.

Squad

Adolf Daði Birgisson knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Adolf Daði Birgisson trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Match

The small margins put FH out

Out, 0‑1 to IA, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Viktor Bjarki Daðason at 18 — 8.09

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Viktor Bjarki Daðason did not need any: 8.09, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Jökull Andrésson

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Jökull Andrésson 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 FH this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

FH find a way past Breidablik

Breidablik made FH work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

FH supporters have found a favourite in Adolf Daði Birgisson

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Adolf Daði Birgisson has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Birkir Valur Jónsson

“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

Adolf Daði Birgisson runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Darko Vukašinović left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Darko Vukašinović will call it something else in private.

Match

FH up to position 3

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

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Viktor Bjarki Daðason at 18 — 7.72

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Viktor Bjarki Daðason did not need any: 7.72, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Tempers go at FH

Jökull Andrésson 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Viktor Bjarki Daðason

At 18 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.

Match

FH see off Keflavik

Three points for FH, 1‑0 the final word against Keflavik in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

No hiding place for Aron Jónsson

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Aron Jónsson, and the manager let it.

Squad

Darko Vukašinović dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Ísak Óli Ólafsson

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 13 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Arnór Borg Guðjohnsen breaks a bone — 24 days out

Ninety minutes of Sverrir Páll Hjaltested at his very best

Marked 8.23. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at FH.

“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.

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Sverrir Páll Hjaltested rescues a point for FH

It needed Sverrir Páll Hjaltested to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against KR, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 8 of the 23 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Match

A bad afternoon for FH against Valur

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

Squad

Kjartan Kári Halldórsson 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.

Squad

FH count the cost of losing Tómas Orri Róbertsson

43 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

The month belongs to Jökull Andrésson

The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. FH have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.

Match

Cup progress for FH

A 1‑0 win over Vikingur, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match

FH make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now FH have 3 straight wins of it.

Boardroom

Albin Skoglund will join FH for nothing

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

The terraces

FH supporters have found a favourite in Adolf Daði Birgisson

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Adolf Daði Birgisson has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

FH get the job done against Fylkir

A 2‑0 win over Fylkir, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Jökull Andrésson is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Jökull Andrésson: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

FH march on in the cup

Stjarnan are out and FH go through, 1‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Grétar Snær Gunnarsson — 6.57

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 19 actions, 6.57, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Kristján Flóki Finnbogason sends FH past Fjolnir

It finished 1‑0, and it was Kristján Flóki Finnbogason’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to FH.

Player ratings

The kick that got away from Úlfur Ágúst Björnsson

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Player ratings

Kristján Flóki Finnbogason stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.68 on the card, and the FH support went home talking about one name.

Boardroom

FH agree a free transfer for Kristján Oddur Haagensen

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

The terraces

FH supporters have found a favourite in Kjartan Kári Halldórsson

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Kjartan Kári Halldórsson has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

It finished 2‑0, and it was Viktor Bjarki Daðason’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to FH.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Ísak Óli Ólafsson

20 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Match

IA blown away early

There is a particular helplessness in conceding 2 times before the twentieth minute. IA tried to reorganise, FH did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.

Player ratings

Kjartan Kári Halldórsson in the eights

A performance of 8.10 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. FH know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
