Match

No mercy from SV Ried

Wolfsberger AC will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. SV Ried were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad

Srđan Hrstić takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Market

Conrad Scholl asks to leave SV Ried

“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.

Transfer targets

Aljaž Strajnar due for a SV Ried medical

Everything agreed with WSG Tirol, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Player ratings

Srđan Hrstić was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.55. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

A row about effort at SV Ried

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tom Ducrocq was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Rapid Wien tell SV Ried: Amīn-Elias Gröller is not for sale

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.

Squad

A falling-out at SV Ried

Lan Piskule and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Number 50 for Srđan Hrstić

50 goals for this club, and somewhere in the stand there is a person who can still tell you where they were for most of them.

Market

Conrad Scholl 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 The request is on a desk at SV Ried, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Only the photograph left for Marko Rajkovačić

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Marko Rajkovačić will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around SV Ried the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Tempers go at SV Ried

Andreas Leitner 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.

Player ratings

Aaron Sky Schwarz beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Lan Piskule stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Lan Piskule and SV Ried agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A row about effort at SV Ried

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tom Ducrocq was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Austria Lustenau take the points off SV Ried

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

12 new faces, and SV Ried 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.

The dugout

Alexander Graham faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Alexander Graham after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

Siebe Van Keymolen damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Evan Eghosa 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 SV Ried, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at SV Ried

Andreas Leitner and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Siebe Van Keymolen arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Siebe Van Keymolen has, at SV Ried, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

The dugout

Evan Eghosa frozen out at SV Ried

This is not rotation. Evan Eghosa has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at SV Ried is pretending otherwise.

Squad

A row about effort at SV Ried

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Luan Gadegbeku was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

David Kinsombi 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.

Market

The shop window has Mihailo Bogićević in it

SV Ried have let the market know Mihailo Bogićević can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market

Siebe Van Keymolen joins SV Ried on a free

No fee and no drama: Siebe Van Keymolen has signed at SV Ried, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.
