Market

NK Domzale say no — this time

The offer from CFR Cluj for Domen Handanovic was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Timi Oblak signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Timi Oblak commits to NK Domzale for another 4 years.

Squad

Timi Oblak 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 NK Domzale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Jan Elsnik runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Domen Handanovic was the difference for NK Domzale

Marked 7.73. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

Words at NK Domzale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luka Sikosek 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.

Market

Luka Sikosek told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Luka Sikosek has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at NK Domzale.

Match

Honours even between NK Domzale and ND Gorica

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Timi Oblak knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Timi Oblak trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Market

NK Domzale say no — this time

The offer from Hajduk Split for Timi Oblak was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Timi Oblak wants more than NK Domzale are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Timi Oblak 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.

Match

Nejc Kurtovic sends NK Domzale past NK Krsko

It finished 3‑2, and it was Nejc Kurtovic’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to NK Domzale.

Squad

No hiding place for Domen Mevlja

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Domen Mevlja, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Domen Handanovic

Marked 8.61 — 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.

Player ratings

Nejc Kurtovic was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.21. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Luka Sikosek 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.

Market

Matic Birsa told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Matic Birsa has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at NK Domzale.
