Both of them Samba Konaté's — 8.77
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.77, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Richard Strebinger in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kapfenberg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Kapfenberg promote Konrad Dragovic from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Konrad Dragovic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Patrick Onisiwo steps up from the Kapfenberg academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Patrick Onisiwo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
