Squad

90 days out for Brynjar Gauti Guðjónsson after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Fjolnir will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Transfer targets

Stjarnan tell Fjolnir: Alex Þór Hauksson is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Árni Steinn Sigursteinsson 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 Fjolnir this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Fjolnir lose Kayra Ücer

32 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Words at Fjolnir training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patryk Hryniewicki 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Óskar Borgþórsson is in the works

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

Squad

97 days out for Brynjar Gauti Guðjónsson after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Fjolnir will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Tempers go at Fjolnir

Árni Steinn Sigursteinsson 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

A move Dominik Pezelj would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Dominik Pezelj is living that version at Fjolnir, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

A row about effort at Fjolnir

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Einar Örn Harðarson was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Sölvi Sigmarsson

“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.

The dugout

Brynjar Gauti Guðjónsson is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Transfer targets

Fjolnir ask about Gyrðir Hrafn Guðbrandsson

A loan enquiry to KR: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

An offer of $800.0K for Lúkas Logi Heimisson

Fjolnir have gone to Valur with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Clemens Astrup arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Clemens Astrup has, at Fjolnir, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Kayra Ücer and Fjolnir agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

KR have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Market

Fjolnir sign Gabriel Rasho, one for the future

Gabriel Rasho is 19, and Fjolnir have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Patryk Hryniewicki falls out with a teammate over standards

Kayra Ücer signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kayra Ücer commits to Fjolnir for another 4 years.

Matej Zetović already looking beyond Fjolnir

He signed expecting a bigger stage than the one he found. It has not taken long, and it has not taken the dressing room long to notice either.

Market

A long bet from Fjolnir on Kayra Ücer

He is 18, and nobody at Fjolnir signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Marijan Fotak is a square peg at Fjolnir

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The manager has not finished forgetting Brynjar Gauti Guðjónsson'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

One moment undoes Brynjar Gauti Guðjónsson

There was one mistake and it ended in the net. Defenders are judged on the worst thing they did rather than on the eighty-nine minutes either side of it, which is unfair and is also the job.

The dugout

Fjolnir pick somebody else ahead of Jón Sölvi Símonarson

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.

Fjolnir get the job done against IBV

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

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against IA in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Doors closed at Fjolnir

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

Jón Sölvi Símonarson lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑3 Mikael Finnbogason left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Jón Sölvi Símonarson'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.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Vilhjálmur Yngvi Hjálmarsson

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Fjolnir told Vilhjálmur Yngvi Hjálmarsson something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

1 for Patryk Hryniewicki, marked 7.64, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Player ratings

Viktor Andri Hafþórsson beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 24. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets

Tumi Fannar Gunnarsson will not be coming to Fjolnir

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Óskar Dagur Jónasson

At 20 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

Fjolnir get the job done against Leiknir

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

Squad

Words at Fjolnir training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patryk Hryniewicki 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Einar Örn Harðarson

“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

Fjolnir are still strangers to each other

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Snorri Þór Stefánsson

There were 11 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.

Match

The cup run ends for Fjolnir

0‑5 against Vikingur, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

The terraces

A cup embarrassment at Vikingur follows Fjolnir home

0-5. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 16 in, 0 out at Fjolnir

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 16 arrived, 0 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market

Leiknir come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Tumi Fannar Gunnarsson

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Fjolnir have done the hard part with Fylkir, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Match

4 matches without a win for Fjolnir

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

Transfer targets

Fjolnir rebuffed over Jón Sölvi Símonarson

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. IA have kept their man, and Fjolnir go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

A falling-out at Fjolnir

Daníel Ingvar Ingvarsson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

A hiding for Fjolnir

Beaten 2‑6 by Keflavik, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Match

A 2-goal lead gone for Fjolnir

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Keflavik kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Fjolnir will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Player ratings

Both of them Árni Steinn Sigursteinsson's — 8.84

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.84, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Tempers go at Fjolnir

Árni Steinn Sigursteinsson 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.

Transfer targets

Fjolnir rebuffed over Örvar Eggertsson

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Stjarnan have kept their man, and Fjolnir go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Árni Steinn Sigursteinsson

At 23 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.

Market

Ari Smarason steps up from the Fjolnir academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ari Smarason has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Arnor Saevarsson joins the Fjolnir first team

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

Market

Rurik Saevarsson steps up from the Fjolnir academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rurik Saevarsson has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Fjolnir

A 0‑4 beating by KR was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Brynjar Gauti Guðjónsson stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Brynjar Gauti Guðjónsson and Fjolnir agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Árni Steinn Sigursteinsson 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 Fjolnir this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Fjolnir rebuffed over Dagur Ingi Hammer

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Leiknir have kept their man, and Fjolnir go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Words at Fjolnir training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patryk Hryniewicki 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sölvi Sigmarsson

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

Boardroom

Nobody left the Fjolnir dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market

Fjolnir and Brynjar Gauti Guðjónsson are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

49 months and counting on Árni Steinn Sigursteinsson

Still no offer on the table, and Árni Steinn Sigursteinsson’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

In brief
