Jan Paus-Kunšt is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Istra 1961 is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Anton Matković is the real thing at 21

A season average of 7.11 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Istra 1961 know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Silvio Goričan falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Words exchanged at Istra 1961

Adryan and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

When it matters, Niko Šepić plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market26 Apr 2027

The Mohamed Nasraoui question follows Istra 1961 around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Mohamed Nasraoui’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Ivan Šaranić has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Istra 1961 they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Antonio Maurić in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Istra 1961 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

No hiding place for Rene Hrvatin

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Rene Hrvatin, and the manager let it.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Words at Istra 1961 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ivan Čurković is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad19 Apr 2027

The formation has left Adryan behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Istra 1961 will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Daouda Doumbia has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Istra 1961 will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The Anton Matković question follows Istra 1961 around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Anton Matković’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Charles Agada asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Loan watch19 Apr 2027

4 goals on loan for Stipe Ukich

20 appearances at Uljanik Pula and the goals keep coming. Istra 1961 are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Charles Agada signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Charles Agada and Istra 1961 agree another 4 years.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Istra 1961

Rene Hrvatin was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad12 Apr 2027

6 new faces, and Istra 1961 are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Emil Frederiksen linked with a move away

The name of Emil Frederiksen keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Istra 1961 say nothing, which says plenty.

Match12 Apr 2027

Istra 1961 in the hunt for Europe

Position 6, 19 points, and a run-in that decides whether next season has Thursday nights in it. Nobody is calling it a race yet, which is what people say during one.
