A falling-out at Kabel
Branko Nikolić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The manager makes an example of Vladan Vidaković
“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.
Match1 Aug 2026
Loznica take the points off Kabel
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Sasa Matic left the room before anybody could ask which.

A loan move for Nikola Bursać is in the works
Kabel have made the call to TSC. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Kabel try to borrow Nemanja Žunić
Mladost Lucani have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Kabel ask about Dragan Kokanović
A loan enquiry to Vojvodina: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Branko Nikolić does not fit this one
Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.
