Nowhere to hide for Javor-Matis
0‑3 against Partizan, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Nikola Vasiljević stands alone
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Radnicki 1923 come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Javor-Matis did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Kadir Barría is a medical away from Javor-Matis
The deal with Botafogo is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Words exchanged at Javor-Matis
Eric Ocansey 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.

A row about effort at Javor-Matis
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dušan Pantelić was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Radnicki Nis tell Javor-Matis: Babacar Mboup is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Javor-Matis promote Novak Milenkovic from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Novak Milenkovic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Vladimir Maksimovic joins the Javor-Matis first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Vladimir Maksimovic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Market Sinisa Simic steps up from the Javor-Matis academy
- The dugout No hiding place for Lazar Mićić
- Boardroom Nobody left the Javor-Matis dressing room in a hurry
