Iverson Negouai could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.27
Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.27, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Maroš Čurik arrives at the club he grew up with
Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Maroš Čurik has, at Stará Ľubovňa, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Rastislav Korba due for a Stará Ľubovňa medical
Everything agreed with FC Košice, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

A row about effort at Stará Ľubovňa
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Maroš Čurik was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The crowd has taken to Iverson Negouai
At 18 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Michal Pekarik steps up from the Stará Ľubovňa academy
