9 matches without a win for Pribram
The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Pribram are no longer polite ones.
Boardroom1 Oct 2029
Pressure builds in the Pribram boardroom
The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.
Squad1 Oct 2029
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Pribram may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Player ratings1 Oct 2029
Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Squad1 Oct 2029
Emmanuel Antwi 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.
Squad1 Oct 2029
“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.
Player ratings1 Oct 2029
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.66, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
Match29 Sep 2029
2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
Market1 Oct 2029
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Jakub Bednarczyk’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match22 Sep 2029
0‑3 to Jablonec, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.
Match22 Sep 2029
No end in sight to Pribram's wait for a win
8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Pribram has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad24 Sep 2029
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pribram this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom24 Sep 2029
Doors closed at Pribram
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The one thing Lukáš Němec could not do
Shots: 10, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.
Player ratings24 Sep 2029
5.62 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.
Squad24 Sep 2029
Šimon Drozd knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Pribram, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Squad24 Sep 2029
Milan Piško wants a proper job in this side
Shifted about, taken off before the hour, asked to do somebody else's running — Milan Piško has had enough of being useful and would like to be picked. Pribram know, and have known for weeks.

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

The scrutiny sharpens at Pribram
Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Pribram is running low.

32 matches without a win for Pribram
The run now stands at 32, and the questions being asked around Pribram are no longer polite ones.
Squad27 Nov 2028
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Market27 Nov 2028
“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 Pribram, and it is not being withdrawn.

Only the photograph left for Ondřej Mastný
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ondřej Mastný will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Pribram the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Squad27 Nov 2028
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pribram this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match25 Nov 2028
Dukla Prague left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Player ratings27 Nov 2028
A performance of 8.67 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
Squad27 Nov 2028
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Milan Piško, and the manager let it.

Match9 Sep 2028
The wait goes on for Pribram
21 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Market11 Sep 2028
“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.
Squad11 Sep 2028
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pribram this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match9 Sep 2028
Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Player ratings11 Sep 2028
Marked 8.80 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
Squad11 Sep 2028
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Štěpán Kindlmann commits to Pribram for another 4 years.

Dylan Encina 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.
Squad11 Sep 2028
A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.
Loan watch11 Sep 2028
“I watch every Pribram game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Villarreal runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

0‑1 to Dukla Prague, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
Player ratings14 Aug 2028
Marked 7.95 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Pribram had the best player on the pitch.
Loan watch14 Aug 2028
“I did not go to Villarreal to sit and watch. I want to come back to Pribram and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.
Squad14 Aug 2028
“The easiest signature of my career.” Nikodem Kołodziej and Pribram agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Player ratings14 Aug 2028
Shots: 8, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Boardroom3 Apr 2028
The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.
Match3 Apr 2028
Pribram are in real trouble now
Position 14, 25 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.
Market3 Apr 2028
Michal Vrána hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Pribram can pretend not to have heard.

Pribram pull $3.6M 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.
