Match31 Oct 2026

13 matches without a win for Istra 1961

The run now stands at 13, and the questions being asked around Istra 1961 are no longer polite ones.

The terraces2 Nov 2026

Anger at Istra 1961 spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match31 Oct 2026

Istra 1961 out of the cup

NK Varazdin ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market2 Nov 2026

Rene Hrvatin 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 The request is on a desk at Istra 1961, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Vinko Rozić

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Razvan Deac 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 Istra 1961 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Tin Petkov faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Tin Petkov after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Samuli Miettinen 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.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Antonio Maurić 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 Antonio Maurić trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Match24 Oct 2026

11 matches without a win for Istra 1961

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Istra 1961 are no longer polite ones.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Razvan Deac: 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.” Istra 1961 have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Vinko Rozić 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.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Istra 1961

Filip Taraba and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match24 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Istra 1961 against HNK Vukovar 1991

1‑2 to HNK Vukovar 1991, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

One of those days for Emil Frederiksen

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.05, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Silvio Goričan

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad26 Oct 2026

8 new faces, and Istra 1961 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.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Tin Petkov to a room that had heard them before.

Match19 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for Istra 1961

7 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

The step up is real for Raul Kumar

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Istra 1961

Filip Taraba 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.

Match19 Sep 2026

Istra 1961 share the spoils with Slaven Belupo

A 1‑1 draw with Slaven Belupo leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Tin Petkov was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Istra 1961 dressing room was either.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Istra 1961

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Charles Agada was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Petar Nemet

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

Squad14 Sep 2026

Antonio Maurić breaks a bone — 14 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 14 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match14 Sep 2026

Every point is an argument now for Istra 1961

Position 10 and 1 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Vinko Rozić runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match12 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for Istra 1961

6 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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Jan Paus-Kunšt keeps Istra 1961 in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match12 Sep 2026

Istra 1961 cannot find the net

5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Istra 1961 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vinko Rozić 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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Istra 1961

Razvan Deac and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match12 Sep 2026

Istra 1961 come up short against Lokomotiva Zagreb

Lokomotiva Zagreb left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market17 Aug 2026

Istra 1961 say no — this time

The offer from Lokomotiva Zagreb for Vinko Rozić 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.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Istra 1961 sell a favourite for $1.9M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Mohamed Nasraoui was one of the reasons people came, and $1.9M does not replace that by itself.

Market17 Aug 2026

Istra 1961 sell Mohamed Nasraoui for $1.9M

Mohamed Nasraoui has left for Dinamo Zagreb in a $1.9M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Jakub Świerczok turns down Istra 1961

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Pogon keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Istra 1961

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Vinko Rozić was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Dinamo Bucharest tell Istra 1961: Alexandru Musi is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Istra 1961

Jan Đapo 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

NK Varazdin take the points off Istra 1961

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The manager makes an example of Emil Frederiksen

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market17 Aug 2026

Not going: Florin Bancu stays at Pandurii

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Chornomorets had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Sergiu Burca runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market17 Aug 2026

Pandurii pay Astra $1.8M for a proper upgrade

Astra did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $1.8M for George Deac, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Dinamo Bucharest tell Pandurii: Alexandru Musi is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market17 Aug 2026

Pandurii turn down Metalist for Razvan Coman

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Adam Žulevič due for a Pandurii medical

Everything agreed with Genoa, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Pandurii

Ovidiu Hagi 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The formation has left George Deac behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Pandurii will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Cosmin Puscas stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Cosmin Puscas and Pandurii agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
