The scrutiny sharpens at Pohronie
Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Pohronie is running low.

Jozef Špyrka is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Pohronie is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Marián Tandara asks to leave Pohronie
“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.

Words exchanged at Pohronie
Mário Hollý 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.

Jozef Špyrka 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.

Matúš Capko asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Tomáš Domaniský 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.

When it matters, Adrián Urban plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The Matěj Hafera story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Matěj Hafera signs something — a contract at Pohronie or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
In brief
- The dugout Mário Hollý keeps his manager's vote
- Squad Andrej Kucka back in training
