The TSC Chronicle
Squad14 Sep 2026
The knee: Branislav Mitrovic out for 18 days
18 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. TSC lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

No sign of nerves from Aleksandar Stančić at 19 — 7.66
The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Aleksandar Stančić did not need any: 7.66, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Prestige Mboungou was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Words at TSC training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Prestige Mboungou 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.
Transfer targets14 Sep 2026
Door shut on Ardit Tahiri
TSC asked and Kolos said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The crowd has taken to Aleksandar Stančić
At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match12 Sep 2026
TSC get the job done against Mladost Lucani
A 1‑0 win over Mladost Lucani, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Appearance number 200 for Andrej Todoroski
200 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

9 new faces, and TSC are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
In brief
