The Partizan Courier
Match26 Feb 2032
Partizan do the business in Europe
1‑0. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Partizan came through the finding-out well against CSKA Moscow.

David Tkáč breaks a bone — 82 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 82 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Match29 Feb 2032
Still nobody has beaten Partizan
The unbeaten run reaches 13. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.
Match29 Feb 2032
Crvena Zvezda end the Partizan run at 10
Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 10 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Partizan to lose Ivan Grujic for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Ivan Grujic has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

A falling-out at Partizan
Eivind Helland and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad1 Mar 2032
Ivan Bogdanovic out for 16 days
The medical room confirms 16 days on the sidelines for Ivan Bogdanovic, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.
The dugout1 Mar 2032
The manager makes an example of Željko Gavrić
“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.

Bogdan Jovanovic pulls a muscle — 16 days out
The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 16 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.
In brief
- Player ratings Matija Ninić was unplayable
- Player ratings Bogdan Petrović was the difference for Partizan
- The dugout Jakub Moder has become a man the manager trusts
