Match7 Nov 2026
The wait goes on for Skeid
9 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.

Adnan Hadžić has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Skeid they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Skeid cannot find the net
5 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.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Filip Møller Delaveris commits to Skeid for another 4 years.

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Mathias Singh was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Skeid dressing room was either.

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Skeid, and both men came out saying it was fine.
