The Istra 1961 Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Ognjen Kersan damages knee ligaments — 33 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 33 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom6 Mar 2028

Pressure builds in the Istra 1961 boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Boardroom6 Mar 2028

Marcelo Erceg has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Istra 1961 can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Advan Kadušić stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Advan Kadušić and Istra 1961 agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Istra 1961

Smail Prevljak 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.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Real improvement from Maj Pirc at Istra 1961

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Maj Pirc is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Loan watch6 Mar 2028

Raul Kumar counts the days

“I watch every Istra 1961 game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Sibenik runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Boardroom6 Mar 2028

Istra 1961 pull $5.0M back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

Market6 Mar 2028

The Petar Andrić story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Petar Andrić signs something — a contract at Istra 1961 or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The Istra 1961 Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Istra 1961 give the job to Marcelo Erceg

The club looked outside for a month, found nothing it preferred, and handed the job to the man who had been doing it anyway. He knows the building; now he has to prove he knows the rest.

Tempers go at Istra 1961

Smail Prevljak 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.

Squad7 Feb 2028

A move Miguel Silva would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Miguel Silva is living that version at Istra 1961, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Words at Istra 1961 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Advan Kadušić 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.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Luka Radaković will join Istra 1961 for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Luka Radaković has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Istra 1961 have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Market7 Feb 2028

Veres watching Lukas Đikić

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Istra 1961 have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.
