Kenan Kurtović 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 The request is on a desk at Mura, and it is not being withdrawn.

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

Miha Stojanovic 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.

Joe Aris signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joe Aris commits to Mura for another 3 years.

A promise honoured for Alen Korošec
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Mura told Alen Korošec something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

When it matters, Armandas Kučys plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

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

The formation has left Joe Aris behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Mura will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The manager has not finished forgetting Jean Paul Diatta's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
