Match

No end in sight to OFK Beograd's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at OFK Beograd has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Marko Alčevski keeps OFK Beograd in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

OFK Beograd lose Milan Radin

109 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match

OFK Beograd see off TSC

Three points for OFK Beograd, 2-0 the final word against TSC in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Ethan Hoard out for 20 days

The medical room confirms 20 days on the sidelines for Ethan Hoard, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Saša Marković 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.

Squad

Uroš Stojanović asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Miloš Pantović linked with a move away

The name of Miloš Pantović keeps appearing in other people's back pages. OFK Beograd say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Anes Rušević unhappy with how he is being used

Asked to play a role that is not his, or taken off before the hour once too often — Anes Rušević has let it be known that he does not like the way OFK Beograd are using him. Managers hear this long before the press does.

Vladimir Bubanja 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 OFK Beograd can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

OFK Beograd lose Ethan Hoard

53 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match

OFK Beograd see off Radnicki Nis

Three points for OFK Beograd, 2-1 the final word against Radnicki Nis in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Vladimir Bubanja

“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.

Squad

Costly mistake from Marko Alčevski

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Marko Alčevski knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Loan watch

Vasilije Grbović has seen enough of Radnik Surdulica

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at OFK Beograd, and 6 appearances in 19 say he has earned the hearing.

Match

Cup progress for OFK Beograd

A 3-0 win over Mladost Lucani, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

OFK Beograd turn down Partizan for Aleksej Vukičević

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Vladimir Bubanja

“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.

Match

Crvena Zvezda take the points off OFK Beograd

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

Squad

Costly mistake from Marko Alčevski

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Marko Alčevski knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Squad

Milan Rodić knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at OFK Beograd, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Lorent Talla says OFK Beograd went back on their word

Squad

Milan Rodić stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Milan Rodić and OFK Beograd agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

At 21, Jovan Šljivić is already the best thing here

An average of 7.05 in a first team he is several years too young for. OFK Beograd have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

“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.

The terraces

The spotlight tightens on Milan Vidakov

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Match

OFK Beograd and Cukaricki cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Cukaricki came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
