Unnamed Trialist Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Big match for Theo and HK vs Jerv this evening, as they are a direct promotion rival. Need a win to stay ahead for the direct slot in top flight Norway. dyslexic nam, Cblake, canuckgbp and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) This week they've played 3 matches, and are now 6 points clear at the top of the Norway 2nd tier. Theo hasn't scored but has played. Vs. Jerv last weekend, Theo started and played 75, they won 3-1. Midweek they beat Sandnes also 3-1, he subbed off m. 60. Today they drew Aalesund (a lovely town rebuilt all art nouveau after a fire in the early 20th C) away 1-1, he came on for the last 10 minutes. So he is not scoring, but have no idea how he's playing. As I say, they are 6 points up on the 2nd place team, Aalesund, and seven clear of Jerv for direct promotion to top flight, with 8 games left.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Thanks for the YouTube clips @Joe MacCarthy. I didn't know Bair spoke French! (Didn't say much in that clip in French but didn’t seem to have an accent) He's from Ottawa so is he Franco-Ontarien like David? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Seems to have gone a little cold as of late. Hopefully he finds his way back on the scoresheet today. Last I checked he was at 3 goals in 11 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfreak Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 0-0 draw against relegation contenders and Theo is the first man subbed out after 70 minutes. Maybe he had a better game than first glance would suggest, but on the surface that’s not a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamptern Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I hope i could be wrong. But from what i saw in Olympic qualifiers, he has a long way to go before emerge. trc2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Even if he is not scoring, he is starting regularly. For the best team in Norway 2nd tier. So I think we'd have to see how he is being played to understand what the coach sees in him. Also notice he is not on the assists when they do score. So I really do not know. They have 4 games left, and are 7 points ahead of third place team, so 2 wins gives them automatic promotion. They play next week, then there is the international break for them (oddly, unless that is for something else), then they end the last two weeks of November. I like that Norway ends in November like the CPL. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 If they win today and Jerv in 3rd does not, I think they promote. So it'll be interesting if they try to re-sign Theo or get a new loan. Has he done enough for them? Will another Norway club come along? Don't you love to watch promotion celebrations, whatever the tier? One of the best things about this sport. The Real Marc and Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cblake Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Theo Bair entered in stoppage time for @HamKamFotball this afternoon in a 2-1 win over Raufoss. Which also all but guaranteed promotion after the win today. Acid-Tone, Unnamed Trialist, Approve My Account Pls and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantic Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Very cool to see him wear the armband that quick and this young but did he really learn Norwegian that quick to be able to captain the team? Or is it quite common for most Norwegians to be able to speak English? NVsoccer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballfreak Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 With HamKam having clinched the title early, and the Whitecaps hopefully making the playoffs today, I wonder if both sides might agree to terminate the loan a few games early. Provided HamKam aren’t looking to purchase Bair of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) They got a late goal and won 0-1, are officially an Eliteserien team. The HamKam twitter feed seems to have him with a few good chances first half: "17’ Bair med ny stor sjanse. Header rett utenfor. Ligger scoring i lufta nå!!" 17 'Bair with another great chance. Header right outside. Is scoring in the air now !! Edited November 6, 2021 by Unnamed Trialist canuckgbp, Shway, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Was reading about HamKam, who are expecting a big reception of hometown fans this evening. They are the elevator team of Norway, since 1969 when they first went up to top flight, they have relegated 10 and promoted 12 times. This is their first time back in Eliteserien in 14 years.

VinceA Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Nice to see Bair part of the promotion, I do wonder if HamKam buy him though. His scoring record all things considered wasn't very good and in theory it would be worse in a better league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Brian White, we’re not overflowing with strikers (or height). Cav has been underwhelming, Ricketts is 34 years old. Bair showed flashes and he’s still only 22. With little depth, and a new manager (Vanni or someone else), there is every opportunity for him to be a contributor next season. That said, he may feel like he needs to be starting somewhere, which is understandable. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Schuster felt he was part of the bigger picture going forward, he should really have been seeing time off the bench this year. I think he is in a good spot right now whete he is and hopefully he can turn this into a transfer to this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his money comes off the books then I tend to agree with you. Bair is expendable if we have the money to bring in better depth. But if Cav is still there with his DP salary next year, they’ll opt for cheap depth at striker (because Whitecaps). Bair offers cheap depth while also not using up an international spot. Whether he’s capable of performing at MLS level is the open question. Small sample size says “ehhh maybe”. 1 goal in 339 minutes in 2020, which is still better than Cav’s s strike rate this year. He didn’t score much in Norway, but we don’t know how well he played. Whatever happens, at least we’ll always have Portland. BearcatSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can use your Google translation this is an interesting article https://www.hamkam.no/nyheter/vi-kommer-alltid-tilbake I’ve been to Hamar where HamKam is located and is on the road up to Lillehammer, very scenic town. It’s not a huge club but will have a better budget in Eliteserien than a few already in there now. Suspect they will struggle next season but it would be a good place for Bair to test himself.

nolbertos Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Haven’t followed Theo Bair but I think Sartini can turn around his MLS career. He made Tiebert effective, White lethal and Nerwinski actually playing great defence as a LB now. I think Cavallini is gone for many reasons and one of them is he’s not getting alot of minutes, his play has suffered and the man the brought him here (MDS) is no longer with the team. Hopefully we get some money from him as his stock has fallen. The worst is letting him go on a free, like the Caps did with Ali Adnan, after paying a few million for him. I think with the Cavallini money we’ll need a backup AM, as Gauld next season will be fouled and hacked and we’ll need a backup AM for sure Edited November 8, 2021 by nolbertos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
