The club reports this on its website. – The guard of honor is intended as an act of respect for the newly crowned series champion. We feel that Molde is more concerned with inflicting humiliation on Rosenborg, than getting deserved respect, writes RBK. – Under no circumstances will we agree to that, it says further. A guard of honor means that the recent series winner is saluted by his next opponent. Preferably by the opponent applauding the gold winner onto the turf before the start of the match. Tore Bjørseth Berdal, who is general manager in Rosenborg, elaborates on the decision to news. – The original idea behind the guard of honor is to honor the achievements of other teams. Now it is as if we are experiencing the statements from Molde, both yesterday and today – after they became league champions, as if they are more concerned with humiliating RBK than receiving deserved tribute. So on the basis of that, we have made a decision not to stand guard of honor in Molde on Sunday, says Berdal. The RBK summit will not say anything concrete about which statements are in question. – There is no tradition in Norway to stand a guard of honor – it has been done a few times here and there. At the time, we evaluated that we were not going to do it, he says. – Embarrassed and embarrassing news’s commentator Jan Petter Saltvedt is not impressed by Rosenborg’s behaviour. – It is embarrassing and embarrassing. It is a sign of how low Rosenborg as a club is on its way to sinking. A club with a proper format would see this as a tradition to be honoured. Not least, it should be seen as a motivation for Rosenborg – to not have to do this ever again, says Saltvedt. Berdal has no comment on Saltvedt’s statements that this is “embarrassing and embarrassing”. – It will be at his expense, he says. news has not succeeded in getting in touch with RBK’s head coach Kjetil Rekdal. He will not elaborate to TV 2. – The club has made a decision. It is respected and the matter is out of the question, says the RBK coach. Believes RBK has misunderstood Ole Erik Stavrum, who is the managing director of Molde, strikes back against their upcoming opponent. – I just have to say that Rosenborg has completely misunderstood. This has nothing to do with humiliation. People know that there is a healthy rivalry between the clubs, and I am absolutely sure that if it had been the other way around, we would have done it. I think this is a fine tradition, and we as a club have no need to humiliate Rosenborg, says Ole Erik Stavrum to news. SERIES CHAMPIONS: Molde secured the series gold on Sunday.

There were many who thought the club would stand as a so-called guard of honor for Molde, but the Trønders refuse to do so. It is contrary to what the Molde players thought after the victory against Lillestrøm. Among others, Magnus Wolff Eikrem was looking forward to the honor guard. – It is magical. Now we’re going to celebrate. Then we will meet Rosenborg and I am looking forward to them standing on guard on Sunday, said Eikrem. – Embarrassed if they don’t do it Teammate Ola Brynhildsen was also clear in his speech on the topic after the victory against LSK. – Now it will be nice to have Rosenborg stand guard of honor for us. I am looking forward to that, he told news. – Do you think they will do it? – They embarrass themselves if they don’t. – Are you reporting early? – It is in its place. We have won gold. They just have to accept that, said Brynhildsen. Ola Brynhildsen thought Rosenborg should stand guard of honor for Molde. Photo: Ksenia Novikova – I guess that’s the way it is. It will be good, no matter who it is, Molde coach Erling Moe told news shortly after the league gold was secured on Sunday evening – and before Rosenborg’s press release on Monday. There has long been a form of rivalry between the two clubs, as the two have won the most league gold in the last ten years. It has not been too long since the last time Rosenborg stood on guard. In 2020, they chose to do the same for Glimt when the northerners won the Eliteserien superbly. It is the first time a club has carried out the gesture in Norwegian football. However, it is more common in other European leagues. That time it was a 1-5 loss for the Trønders, with a bitter sting from Bodø/Glimt after the match. – Thanks for the match, Rosenborg! Thank you for standing guard, even if it was unnecessary to stand for the entire 90 minutes, wrote Glimt on Twitter. GUARD OF HONOR: Here Rosenborg stands as a guard of honor for Bodø/Glimt in 2020.

The match will be played in Molde, and RBK still has good opportunities for a medal in the Eliteserien. They are currently close to that, with their third place.
