A knee injury of the worst kind for Luka Silagadze
65 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Podbrezova lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Podbrezova say no — this time
The offer from Dinamo Zagreb for Matej Jurička was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Luka Silagadze in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Podbrezova this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Still nobody has beaten Podbrezova
The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Cody David runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Radek Šiler 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.

Podbrezova lose Jakub Nemec
35 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Santiago Ferreira is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Podbrezova has been clear about where Santiago Ferreira stands, which is more than many ever get.
Match12 Aug 2034
No goals between Podbrezova and Spartak Myjava
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Spartak Myjava will be the happier side with the point.
