Match1 Oct 2026
KR do the business in Europe
1‑1. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and KR came through the finding-out well against Banik Ostrava.
Match1 Oct 2026
No end in sight to KR's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at KR has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad5 Oct 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at KR this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Arnór Ingvi Traustason 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.

“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.

Finnur Tómas Pálmason was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.64. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

KR have won it
This is the season the town will measure the next twenty against. The trophy travels home with the squad, and the route through the streets was agreed days ago.
Squad28 Sep 2026
A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Halldór Snær Georgsson: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.
Match23 Sep 2026
Cup progress for KR
A 1‑1 win over Stjarnan, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?
The terraces28 Sep 2026
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 24 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Match17 Sep 2026
A European lesson for KR
0‑2 against Krasnodar. Continental football is unforgiving about the things a domestic league lets a side get away with, and this was a night spent finding out which of those the club still has.
Market21 Sep 2026
Hrafn Tómasson has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around KR they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Real improvement from Oscar Buur at KR
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Oscar Buur is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Tempers go at KR
Aron Sigurðarson 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.

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Sergio Rodríguez 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.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
14 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

KR and Leiknir cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Leiknir came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

KR find a way past FH
FH made KR work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

“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.

Héctor Solano 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. KR know it, and so does everybody who watches him.
Squad14 Sep 2026
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.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Shots: 5, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

5 attempts, none of them in. He got into the right places all afternoon, which is the hard part, and did the easy part badly — and that is the version of a bad day a manager can live with.

18 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.

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 18 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Hrafn Tómasson will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around KR the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Hrafn Tómasson has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.
