The way Jukkola has developed this season it would not surprise me if he is also being looked at by other clubs. For the EIF game we should be okay, I suspect we have enough about us to get the job done. But if the board think, we can scrape by on the cheap by not bringing in a replacement...

I would rather he go to Rapid and then they loan us him back until the end of the season (They do not need him right now) That would be the best situation In terms of the 40/50k fee Ilves need to start reviewing the contracts of our players because we have well and truly had our pants pulled...

Top 3 has to be the goal. If we are to progress as a club and move forward we need European football again next season. KuPs and SJK have experience of competing at the top end of the table. At this moment in time the title is in KuPs own hands. Can they manage that presure? I would expect...

This is what worries me. Our performances against the top 6 haven’t been brilliant We are heading into the Championship mini league knowing that and possibly without Haarala and lack of depth up front. If Haarala goes and a adequate replacement isn’t brought in I feel we could Finish 4-5th...

Live standings Bare in mind that VPS and Haka are playing and it’s currently 0-0

They don’t even need to be super prolific, Just somebody who can work the opposition defence, Be a nuisance, win the first contact which can lead to the midfielders and wingers picking up the second balls. Defenders in this league are not brilliant, they don’t want the problem of pacy wingers...

The problem in attack was clear. With all due respect Isaac looks about 5ft 2 Why would you play him centrally? Every time he made good runs it was in the channel/wide area’s. KuPs where so comfortable defending deep because there was no plan B .. no surprise, our game plan was so...

Fuck it

Isaac is not a striker I can tell you that already 100% a winger We would win this if we had someone who could win a header in the penalty box. I still think it’s baffling that we haven’t tried to sign a proper unit to come on and physically bully tiring teams backlines Especially when we...

The state of that football pitch.

With all the speculation it does seem like the Haarala transfer is a deal done. In terms of Grinder’s post about HJK They may currently be financially more secure and able but this season has shown that money isn’t everything. I don’t think at any point this season HJK have looked like they...

Apologies if this has been posted already, I have been pretty busy today so haven’t had time to read through this whole topic. I found a video from some of he’s goals and stuff from last season. I always take the YouTube videos with a pinch of salt but it seems like he knows where the goal...

I haven’t looked into the player to much yet but two thing I really like about this. 1. If we can’t find an appropriate replacement in Finland I like that we are looking into the Norwegian leagues (both premier and 1st division are competitive) 2. The terms of the deal is really sensible -...

Exactly what I was thinking. The club can’t go half hearted with an easy signing or “patch it up” that could be disastrous. I hope the club go and make a bold signing - statement of intent not just for this season but for the next. We need someone who is capable of coming close to Haarala’s...

MATSIPÄIVÄ!!!! Safe trip to all those travelling today. See you in Stockholm. COME ON ILVES!!!

Feel free to drop me a dm with more info if you want. Not watched a Futsal game live before and not against going along to a game and seeing how it is.

Dare to dream! Could you imagine? I would bet on us to beat Chelsea in the group stage when they come to Tampere in late November/December and it’s -18c ;)

Football runs through my veins being of British origin. It has been a really enjoyable season. I will cherish the European moments and games we have had so far as I know they are never for granted. I will be sad when it all comes to a close this year. The football in England has started and...

That could be another reason why they opened the second away block and it didn’t even cross my mind, will Djurgarden sell away tickets at the gate on match day? It could be possible that some fans living in Sweden or people with an interest in Finnish football who are based in Sweden might wait...

It was a good game at the perfect time. No disrespect meant to MIFK but we were able to rotate the squad and make subs at suitable times to leave us in the best position in terms of fitness heading into Thursday's game in Stockholm. Sunday will be a different story when we head to the league...
