DNZY Activity
Thirty years is a long stretch in football; clubs make history, records are broken, paradigms are shifted and for Irish manager David Nealon - his sell by date moves further and further away. Known exclusively as 'DNZY', the Dublin born mast...
There it is, our first L. No surprises @Shedender
Bloody hell, you're actually getting Schreck some goals. He's been so underwhelming for me.
@Shedender - No pressure bud!

NEW SIGNING
One more loan signing, taking in Leverkusen youngster Sam Schreck. And no, he didn't enter to the sound of "somebody once told me..".
The kid looks very decent. Technically gifted and isn't too far from becoming a Bun...
Starting off with my stint, taking care of a little admin work during pre-season.
Somehow took down Swiss Super League side Lugano before a dicking by Münster, a boring 0-0 with Würzburg and a routine win over Weiche.
The calibre of the Re...
@b0nb0n - Nail on the head, just needed to find the right balance in the team before we went on the upward trajectory. Hopefully next season will be a lot tighter!

MATCHDAY 36
Total dud of a finale, but the result went our way. Both sides on the beach, Miroslav Divis clocked out from his loan spell with a happy memory to win the game in the 86th minute with his head during a swift counter attack. Ou...

MATCHDAY 35
Objective for TK was points to survive, objective for us was to run riot. One way traffic from beginning to end, leading two nil at the break with a stunning low drive from Vazinski and a deflected Sander Kõiv cross f...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 34
Ended a mini crisis with an improved, resounding performance at home to Kalju. Kareel Tarvis eyeing up the golden ball with his 19th goal of the season to leave him one shy of a score. A former friend came to visit as ex-Stumb...
EESTI KARIKAS
THIRD ROUND
SOS. It's all going pear shaped, back to back defeats and now dumped out of the Estonian cup too. I will say we played better than the last two games combined, but that was probably when Flora were down to ten men in the...
Big loss at right back, misses both games against Flora.

MATCHDAY 33
Blown it. Despite encouraging signs in the first five minutes, we were nowhere to be seen afterwards. Substitute centre back Gregory Axionov woke up the fans during...

MATCHDAY 32
Uh oh. Did not play well at all here, helping not only Levadia to stretch their lead after winning but also bridging the gap to second in favour of Tammeka. They had us on a leash and came close twice before limp defending a...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 31
Firmly in control over doomed Trans but only one goal to show for it. Albert Kübar had some luck with a hot shot that was too spicy to handle for their keeper, almost going down as an o.g.. Karl Altosar is really taking h...
YOUTH INTAKE
Flipping the script to this year's youth intake, while it's not great, it's not poor either. A goalkeeper on the rise could be just what we need.
Sten Põldsaar - GK - youth intake
Needs a lot of work to be all wel...

MATCHDAY 29
For what it's worth, I'll take this result. Preserving second place for now is better than nothing. Conor McParland almost opened his Infonet account but his close range header rebounded off the post. Seriously dull...

SECOND ROUND
Another cup game, another Urbys show. The Lithuanian might very well make a case for next season's registration list after finishing off Santos to advance to the next phase. Quite the strike too, 25 yards and straight i...

MATCHDAY 28
1-0 good enough to take down Pärnu. Jair Flórez picked up where he left off with an early goal, placing it too high for the keeper to reach. The bulk of the action though came in the last five minutes; Tarvis had...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 27
Result of the season right here, what a massive three points to lift us into title contention! Pulsating opening quarter with Flórez briefly poking us in front before Levadia returned fire with Priit Mutle. Levadia keep...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 26
Still felt the after effects of the Kalju defeat, ruggedly overcoming Tallinna Kalev in unconvincing style. A penalty miss onto the post by Miroslav Divis marked his return from injury distastefully. It was the most unlikely g...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 25
It was going to happen eventually. A communication mishap led Bastig and McParland astray to chase the same ball, leaving behind a gaping goal for Männik to apply the finishing touch. We threw everything at Kalju but just...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 24
Now this was much more like it, an ice cool performance over Flora to go unbeaten in nine. Flora's 5-4-1 nonsense led to all sorts of confusion at the back as we pierced through twice before the half ended. Tarvis latched...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 23
Jagged edged performance again but nearly fell on our own sword to bottom of the table Trans. It is plain as day why they're bottom after a woeful defensive error led Tarvis in for the opening goal on 19 minutes. Despite...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 22
Europe chasing Tammeka were a real test, failing to budge in a nil nil. We had Martin Bastig to thank for keeping it that way though, recording two excellent stops, one of which onto the crossbar to escape with a clean sheet....

FIRST ROUND
Relatively uneventful passage into the second round as our second string comfortably brushed Puuma to the side. Jaanus Martin and Audrius Urbys created quite the partnership with two similarly made goals, just one finished...

MATCHDAY 21
Oh, this is just beautiful. Finally stung Sillamäe Kalev where it hurts. Goalkeeper Bastig seemed a bag of nerves, dropping a ball caught from a corner straight to the feet of Alferov to predictably fall behind. Where it...

MATCHDAY 20
Egads, (former) league chasers Paide are self-destructing at present with their third defeat in four games, waltzing to another convincing victory. The unsung hero of the team Vazinski hit another peach right into the top corn...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 19
That's three for three this month, racking the same number in goals as we met Pärnu again. In contrast to the previous meetup, we looked uneasy and running on empty in a dull first half. You wait for a bus and two co...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 18
First of two home matches against Pärnu ended in a slender win. Quickfire goals from Altosar with a wonderful 30 yard free kick, backed up by Kareel Tarvis to leave us in a buoyant mood as full time approached. Perhaps we...

MATCHDAY 17
Feasted on much deserved revenge over league leaders Paide Linnameeskond, laying them bare and vulnerable. McParland started on the bench and looked on at what he had to prevent, Ott Stepanjan easily evaded past our centre b...

Sillamäe f'n Kalev. Always a thorn in my side when managing in Estonia, masterminded yet another win again my tactics. To say we defended during this game would be fallacy, two easy goals for Artur Rähn and Oskars...

MATCHDAY 15
ez pz. Trans were defensively asinine, no wonder they're bottom of the league. Two terrible backpasses laid the red carpet for both Rõivassepp and Tarvis, while rising midfield talent Karl Altosar headed in his fir...

MATCHDAY 14
Well there goes our form out the window. The hero of last week, was the culprit of how we ended up losing this. Marat Kalinin aimlessly cleared a ball down the flank straight to Tammeka's winger, it was from his cross whe...

MATCHDAY 13
Call me a tactical brainbox, two subs combined in injury time to rescue a point from the jaws of defeat. Conceding in the way we did was farcical; Henn and Bastig got lost in translation when chasing a ball back on the edge of...

MATCHDAY 12
Seriously, why can't we play like this week in week out? Honestly the most scintillating first half performance I've seen in charge of Infonet. We made Kalju look like chumps with two in two minutes by Rõivass...

Vintage my ass, we were far from our best but took victory on the day. Square ball by Flórez, chested down by Mihhailov before Albert Kübar finishing off the move with panache for the only goal of the game. Marti...

MATCHDAY 10
Seriously? Another penalty conceded? That's three in five matches now. Vlastimil Berger with the winner to condemn us to only one win in seven games. Very dull game but almost escaped with a point, Ignas Petrauskas hit th...
Board trying to cheer me up with a few stacks, but only because our finances are in the urinals.

Winless Pärnu Linnameeskond should have been the road to redemption but instead halted us further. At least Tarvis is gett...

MATCHDAY 8
Daylight robbery. Ignoring an early penalty that Tahvanainen put away, we controlled the game from there on in. Seconds ticking to half time, Jair Flórez silenced some critics with a long range belter to deservedly equal...
MEISTRILIIGA
MATCHDAY 7
Change of tactic, et voilà! The 4-2-3-1 wide didn't do us favours, where the narrower version granted them. Two very schematic goals in sixteen minutes had us beaming inside, Tarvis and Mihhailov with well struck ef...

Absolutely spanked. Even match on paper, however Sillamäe Kalev were streets ahead in finishing quality. Can't have complaints for the first two goals by Artur Rähn, one blatant penalty and then a 30 yard missile...

Subconsciously disappointed but at face value a point is a point, especially when we were against the tide. That said we were closest in the first half but Flórez missed an open goal (in his defence it was outside the...
