Match13 Aug 2033

29 matches without a win for Podbeskidzie

The run now stands at 29, and the questions being asked around Podbeskidzie are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings15 Aug 2033

A brace, and Dawid Kaczor takes the afternoon — 9.09

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Dawid Kaczor provided it, and the 9.09 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

David Thomas asks to leave Podbeskidzie

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets15 Aug 2033

Door shut on Mario Vušković

Podbeskidzie asked and Gornik Zabrze said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Rafael Paulino 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.

A falling-out at Podbeskidzie

Kacper Gach and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match13 Aug 2033

Podbeskidzie caught on 96 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Slask scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Match13 Aug 2033

Podbeskidzie share the spoils with Slask

A 3‑3 draw with Slask leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Podbeskidzie try to borrow Jan Bienduga

Inter have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad28 Mar 2033

Tempers go at Podbeskidzie

Oskar Tomczyk 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.

A row about effort at Podbeskidzie

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

Squad28 Mar 2033

Home is on David Thomas's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Podbeskidzie are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

21 matches without a win for Podbeskidzie

The run now stands at 21, and the questions being asked around Podbeskidzie are no longer polite ones.

Match29 Jan 2033

A hiding for Podbeskidzie

Beaten 0‑4 by Legia, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Fee done, terms next for Jakub Szymanski

Podbeskidzie and Pogon have settled on $150.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Jonas Goldschadt says Podbeskidzie went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match29 Jan 2033

The goals have deserted Podbeskidzie

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Podbeskidzie can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad31 Jan 2033

Words exchanged at Podbeskidzie

Rafael Paulino and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Podbeskidzie rebuffed over Filip Kurto

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Gornik Zabrze have kept their man, and Podbeskidzie go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Konrad Golonka gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
