Anger at Podbeskidzie spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

The caretaker keeps it: Interim Coach confirmed
A month of looking elsewhere ended where it started. He already knows every name in the building; the rest of it he now has to prove in public.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Damian Grosicki
15 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Podbeskidzie lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Thyago Ayala 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 Podbeskidzie can pretend not to have heard.

A one-man rearguard from Thyago Ayala
There were 8 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.

Tempers go at Podbeskidzie
Karol Knap was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Words at Podbeskidzie training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Pedro Mendes is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Match1 Jan 2028
Podbeskidzie get the job done against Ruch
A 2‑1 win over Ruch, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Player ratings3 Jan 2028
The afternoon belonged to Karol Knap
A mark of 7.69, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
In brief

- Player ratings Nobody could get near Jarosław Czerwik
