Words exchanged at Rudar Velenje
Gašper Gaberšek Rotovnik 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.

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Rudar Velenje now.

A promise honoured for Ajdin Kadrić
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Rudar Velenje told Ajdin Kadrić something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Gašper Gaberšek Rotovnik knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Rudar Velenje, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Benjamin Lovric wants out of the dugout
“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Rudar Velenje will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.
