The OFK Vršac Chronicle

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match26 Feb 2028

OFK Vršac taken apart

0‑3 to Mačva Šabac, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Bartosz Bugała is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad28 Feb 2028

A falling-out at OFK Vršac

Stefan Milić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Zarija Lambulić 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.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Aleksandar Stanković gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom28 Feb 2028

Inquest at OFK Vršac

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Loan watch28 Feb 2028

Darko Simic wants to come home

“I did not go to Jedinstvo Ub to sit and watch. I want to come back to OFK Vršac and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 30 matches say the rest.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Filip Petrovic faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Filip Petrovic after 0‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Boardroom28 Feb 2028

Wages swallow 91% of the OFK Vršac income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

31 Jan 2028
From our football correspondent Crisis

Market31 Jan 2028

Obaid Salem 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 The request is on a desk at OFK Vršac, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Serhiy Bolbat 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.

Transfer targets31 Jan 2028

Door shut on John Mary

OFK Vršac asked and TSC 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 dugout31 Jan 2028

No hiding place for Aleksandar Stanković

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Aleksandar Stanković, and the manager let it.

Match29 Jan 2028

OFK Vršac come up short against Ušće

Ušće left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

The team sheet said everything about Nikša Vujčić

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Nikša Vujčić.

Loan watch31 Jan 2028

Darko Simic wants to come home

“I did not go to Jedinstvo Ub to sit and watch. I want to come back to OFK Vršac and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 26 matches say the rest.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

Filip Petrovic answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Tempers go at OFK Vršac

Ben Thys was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match5 Jan 2028

Jedinstvo Ub out of the cup

OFK Beograd ended it 0‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Match8 Jan 2028

No end in sight to Jedinstvo Ub's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Jedinstvo Ub has to find a result from somewhere.

Market10 Jan 2028

Nikola Motika 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 Jedinstvo Ub, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad10 Jan 2028

A falling-out at Jedinstvo Ub

Uroš Savković and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad10 Jan 2028

A row about effort at Jedinstvo Ub

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alfie Whiteman was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings10 Jan 2028

Nobody could get near Lazar Ranđelović

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match8 Jan 2028

Voždovac take the points off Jedinstvo Ub

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout10 Jan 2028

The manager makes an example of Andrija Milić

“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.

The dugout10 Jan 2028

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Nemanja Ilic to a room that had heard them before.

The OFK Vršac Chronicle

3 Jan 2028
From our football correspondent Crisis

Market3 Jan 2028

Obaid Salem asks to leave OFK Vršac

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market3 Jan 2028

Damjan Daničić attracts admirers

The name of Damjan Daničić has come up in conversations OFK Vršac were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Words exchanged at OFK Vršac

Stefan Milić 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.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Serhiy Bolbat 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.

Transfer targets3 Jan 2028

OFK Vršac rebuffed over John Mary

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. TSC have kept their man, and OFK Vršac go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match1 Jan 2028

A bad afternoon for OFK Vršac against Kabel

1‑2 to Kabel, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market3 Jan 2028

Still no ink between OFK Vršac and Dimitrije Petronijević

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at OFK Vršac, another week without a signature from Dimitrije Petronijević.

Loan watch3 Jan 2028

Darko Simic has seen enough of Jedinstvo Ub

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at OFK Vršac, and 3 appearances in 22 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout3 Jan 2028

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Filip Petrovic left the room before anybody could ask which.

In brief
