Emmanuel Agyemang puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Blau-Weiß Linz, and it is not being withdrawn.

67 days out for Matija Horvat after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Blau-Weiß Linz will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Fee done, terms next for Noah Botic
Blau-Weiß Linz and Admira Wacker have settled on $1.3M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Emil Bohinen pops up at the right end — 7.65
7.65, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Alem Pašič frozen out at Blau-Weiß Linz
This is not rotation. Alem Pašič has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Blau-Weiß Linz is pretending otherwise.

Words exchanged at Blau-Weiß Linz
Sam Field 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.

Graduation day at Blau-Weiß Linz
7 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Blau-Weiß Linz rebuffed over Luca Pazourek
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Austria Wien have kept their man, and Blau-Weiß Linz go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
