The Podbeskidzie Post

24 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Damian Chmiel out for 118 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Podbeskidzie will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Podbeskidzie march on in the cup

Lech are out and Podbeskidzie go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Squad

Konrad Forenc keeps Podbeskidzie in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Words at Podbeskidzie training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Maciej Górski 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

Tempers go at Podbeskidzie

Kacper Gach 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.

The terraces

Podbeskidzie supporters have found a favourite in Bartosz Florek

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Bartosz Florek 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.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Marcin Biernat

14 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Player ratings

Maksymilian Sitek runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Podbeskidzie and Lechia cancel each other out

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

In brief

Back issues

The Cracovia Sentinel

17 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Sebastian Madejski keeps Cracovia in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Dominik Baumgartner 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 Cracovia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Eyes on Karol Knap again

The phone has started ringing about Karol Knap again, and this time the name on the line is Pogon. Cracovia are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Pau Sans

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Henrich Ravas

“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

Cracovia come up short against Lech

Lech left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
