Match11 Sep 2027
The wait goes on for ND Gorica
8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Andrija Drljo 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 ND Gorica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Luka Štor 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.

Primorje take the points off ND Gorica
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Erik Kampl steps up from the ND Gorica academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Erik Kampl 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.

ND Gorica promote Kevin Bijol from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Kevin Bijol 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.

ND Gorica promote Benjamin Birsa from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Benjamin Birsa 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.

One of our own: Robert Sesko joins the ND Gorica first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Robert Sesko is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
The dugout13 Sep 2027
The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Domen Skubic to a room that had heard them before.
In brief
- The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Rene Prodanović
- The dugout The manager has not finished forgetting Tomislav Jagić's mistake
- The dugout David Đokić gets it from the manager
