A one-man rearguard from Vasil Simeonov
There were 9 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.

Montana turn down Sevlievo for Gustavo Silveira
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Georgi Nikolov steps up from the Montana academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Georgi Nikolov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Viktor Dyakov steps up from the Montana academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Viktor Dyakov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
