Aleksandar Pejović, 35, rolls back the years — 8.08
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.08 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Spartak Subotica come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Radnik Surdulica did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Martin Novaković signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Martin Novaković and Radnik Surdulica agree another 3 years.

Nobody could get near Martin Novaković
Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

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.

Words exchanged at Radnik Surdulica
Igor Ivanović 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.

The manager makes an example of Martin Novaković
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
