The Dugopolje Post

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad4 Sep 2028

Branko Pavić breaks a bone — 27 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Josip Bartulić: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Dugopolje have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Darnelle Thomas 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 The request is on a desk at Dugopolje, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Words at Dugopolje training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Zoran Nižić 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.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Zoran Nižić 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.

Match2 Sep 2028

A bad afternoon for Dugopolje against Sesvete

0‑1 to Sesvete, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Boardroom4 Sep 2028

95% of the income goes out in wages at Dugopolje

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

An afternoon Mitchel Keulen will want back

Marked 5.75. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Player ratings4 Sep 2028

Aleksi Wahlman never got going

5.75 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match5 Jun 2028

Dugopolje are in real trouble now

Position 8, 22 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market5 Jun 2028

Only the photograph left for Špiro Peričić

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Špiro Peričić will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Dugopolje the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Tomislav Adolf Tomić 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 Dugopolje this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Nolhan Assafoua signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Nolhan Assafoua and Dugopolje agree another 3 years.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Karlo Bungić falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad5 Jun 2028

9 new faces, and Dugopolje are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

In brief
