Marked for Frane Jerković

Match

The small margins put Imotski out

Out, 1‑3 to Zadar, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market

Frane Jerković asks to leave Imotski

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Marin Jonjić yet — 7.99

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.99 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Tempers go at Imotski

Federico Ortiz 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.

Squad

Words at Imotski training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lenos Sofroniou 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.

Squad

Federico Ortiz gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Imotski find a way past Rudes

Rudes made Imotski work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Dragan Lovrić gives it away

There was no pressure on him and nowhere he had to be. Imotski lost a goal to a decision that took half a second and will be discussed all week.

Squad

Pavao Vugdelija dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Market

Josip Kilić hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Imotski can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Marin Jonjić has been here 13 seasons

233 appearances across 13 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Player ratings

Slavko Jović, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.12

A mark of 8.12 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Marin Jonjić signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marin Jonjić commits to Imotski for another 2 years.

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

Words at Imotski training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marin Jonjić 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.

The terraces

Imotski supporters have found a favourite in Slavko Jović

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Slavko Jović 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.

Match

Honours even between Imotski and Segesta

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market

Frane Jerković told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Frane Jerković has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Imotski.
