Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Josip Kilić

82 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Imotski lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Imotski march on in the cup

Sesvete are out and Imotski go through, 3‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Imotski

Position 10 and 2 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Player ratings

Both of them Jean Galindo's — 9.23

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.23, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Slavko Jović 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 The request is on a desk at Imotski, and it is not being withdrawn.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 7 of the 29 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Dragan Lovrić 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 Imotski this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Thomas Hagelskjær 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.

The terraces

Imotski supporters have found a favourite in Massimo Bigotti

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Massimo Bigotti has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Josip Kilić breaks a bone — 107 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 107 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Arthur Nascimento 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 Imotski, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Arthur Nascimento keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Imotski may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Marin Jonjić attracts admirers

The name of Marin Jonjić has come up in conversations Imotski were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Mate Šuto signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mate Šuto and Imotski agree another 3 years.

Squad

Massimo Bigotti gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Massimo Bigotti has just signed for Imotski, and for once the answer mattered.
