Austria Wien come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Mattersburg did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Heinz Trimmel puts it in writing

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Mattersburg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Konrad Hinteregger 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.

Mattersburg lose Andreas Ilsanker
32 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
