Marked for Timi Oblak

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Nejc Sikosek

64 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. NK Domzale lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

NK Domzale taken apart

1‑6 to Olimpija Ljubljana, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match

6 matches without a win for NK Domzale

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around NK Domzale are no longer polite ones.

Market

Only the photograph left for Timi Oblak

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Timi Oblak will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around NK Domzale the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

Robert Vipotnik among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Robert Vipotnik on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of NK Domzale and Olimpija Ljubljana.

Match

NK Domzale are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Squad

Words at NK Domzale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nejc Kurtovic 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

6 past Jan Ilicic

Whether it was the goalkeeper or the ten in front of him is the argument that will fill every conversation in town this week. 2 saves does not settle it either way.

Squad

Arseniy Tikhomirov 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.

Back issues

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Nejc Sikosek damages knee ligaments — 92 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 92 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout

Jure Elsnik keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” NK Domzale may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Timi Oblak is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at NK Domzale is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Vall Janković 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.

Squad

A row about effort at NK Domzale

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

Squad

Louis Boyer signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Louis Boyer commits to NK Domzale for another 3 years.

Player ratings

Nejc Kurtovic beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Andraz Janza on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout

NK Domzale keep their word to Arseniy Tikhomirov

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

The knee: Nejc Sikosek out for 121 days

121 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. NK Domzale lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Jan Ilicic

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Jan Janza, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.69

A mark of 7.69 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Boardroom

Timi Oblak has agreed to leave NK Domzale for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Market

Timi Oblak is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at NK Domzale is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

NK Domzale are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 5 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Match

Jan Janza’s goal not enough for NK Domzale

Jan Janza scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to NK Celje, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

A row about effort at NK Domzale

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

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Jure Sesko 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.
