The terraces

Anger at Imotski 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.

Squad

Dragan Lovrić 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 Imotski this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A move Kamran Jafarov 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. Kamran Jafarov is living that version at Imotski, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Words at Imotski training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marin Jonjić 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Kerim Çalhanoğlu

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

Market

Imotski buy the years ahead of Kamran Jafarov

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Pavels Fertovs breaks a bone — 40 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 40 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Mihkel Ainsalu 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 Skonto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Real improvement from Patryk Letkiewicz at Skonto

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Patryk Letkiewicz is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Benjamín Rivera wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Skonto know it.

Market

Roberts Tarasovs leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Roberts Tarasovs leaves Skonto the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
