The Dugopolje Post

Market5 Jun 2028

Hajduk Split come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Dugopolje did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Luka Šimunović 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.

Squad5 Jun 2028

The manager makes an example of Anđelo Kordić

“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.

The Haladas Chronicle

30 Aug 2027
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad30 Aug 2027

Daniel Nagy decides it from twelve yards

4 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Akos Gazdag damages knee ligaments — 56 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 56 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.

Match25 Aug 2027

Haladas through in the cup

A 1‑1 win over MTK Budapest, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match28 Aug 2027

Chastening afternoon for Haladas

A 1‑4 beating by Puskas Akademia was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad30 Aug 2027

A fracture rules Dominik Varga out for 109 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Haladas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Haladas

Marton Sallai 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.

Player ratings30 Aug 2027

Nobody could get near Akos Gazdag

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom30 Aug 2027

Nobody left the Haladas dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Player ratings30 Aug 2027

The kick that got away from Balazs Botka

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.
