Tempers go at Budafoki MTE
Fredy Colmán 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.

Words at Budafoki MTE training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aleksa Paić 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.

Kecskeméti TE take the points off Budafoki MTE
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Budafoki MTE count the cost of losing David Bese
16 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Mate Orban left the room before anybody could ask which.

Looking ahead21 Dec 2026
Botond Nándori goes back to face Csákvár
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Botond Nándori’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Budafoki MTE needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The Aleksa Paić story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Aleksa Paić signs something — a contract at Budafoki MTE or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
