No end in sight to Stripfing's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Stripfing has to find a result from somewhere.

A row about effort at Stripfing
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Markus Kalajdzic was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Words exchanged at Stripfing
Connor Roberts 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.

No hiding place for Nico Maier
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nico Maier, and the manager let it.

Nobody on the pitch touched Márk Kovácsréti
7.50, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Stripfing had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

No place for Geronimo Londar in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Stripfing are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The view from the dugout
“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Philipp Lindner chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Stripfing pick somebody else ahead of Dean Titkov
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Stripfing keep their word to Brayan Marín
Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.
