The TSC Chronicle
Player ratings6 Aug 2029
Nobody could get near Shavy Babicka
Successful dribbles: 40. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Rilwanu Sarki
47 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. TSC lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Saša Jovanović breaks a bone — 17 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 17 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

TSC turn it around against OFK Beograd
Going 2 down does something to a side, and what it usually does is finish them. Not here. TSC rebuilt the afternoon goal by goal, and OFK Beograd had no answer to any of it.

A day Bogdan Petrović will not forget
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Darije Markočević agrees terms with Maritzburg United
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around TSC people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Siebe Schurmans asks to leave TSC
“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.

TSC to lose Uroš Mihailović for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Uroš Mihailović has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.
In brief
