The dugout

Matija Burin: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Brinje Grosuplje have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Gal Lubej Fink

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Martín Zepeda hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Brinje Grosuplje can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

Petar Sesko signs on for the long haul

Brinje Grosuplje moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Petar Sesko, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Squad

Nejc Močnik 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 Brinje Grosuplje this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Brinje Grosuplje

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad

Kevin Benkič 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 targets

Brinje Grosuplje rebuffed over Claudio Giardino

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

Match

Nejc Močnik’s goal not enough for Brinje Grosuplje

Nejc Močnik scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Nafta 1903, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

In brief
