Anger at Arzignano 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.

AlbinoLeffe come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Arzignano did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Robert Ivanov puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Arzignano, and it is not being withdrawn.

Didier André says Arzignano went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Lorenzo D'Agata is a medical away from Arzignano

Words exchanged at Arzignano
Tomás Squie 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.

A move Hubert Kędziora would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Hubert Kędziora is living that version at Arzignano, and it tends to show in the first month.
