Anger at Boa spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

69 days out for Jean after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Boa will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Luís Lima puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Boa, and it is not being withdrawn.

Miguel Terceros due for a Boa medical

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Toró 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.
In brief
