“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Trnje may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Trnje say no — this time
The offer from Orijent 1919 for Tadej Bonaca was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Dario Barada 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 Trnje this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
