FK Senica say no — this time
The offer from MFK Ruzomberok for Jan Bozenik 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.

Miroslav Skriniar beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Karol Blaško 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 FK Senica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
The terraces14 Sep 2026
One of their own: Ivan Valjent
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Jan Kucka out for 37 days
The medical room confirms 37 days on the sidelines for Jan Kucka, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

A row about effort at FK Senica
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Norbert Strelec was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Ivan Valjent was the difference for FK Senica
Marked 7.37. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Jan Gyomber
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jan Gyomber, and the manager let it.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Miroslav Lobotka: “We have to be better”
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
In brief
- Match Point won or two lost for FK Senica?
- Squad Jan Kucka makes his debut at 20
- The dugout No place in the plan for Kristian Pekarik
