Crispin McLean is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Jarun Zagreb is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Crispin McLean signs for BSK Bijelo Brdo while still at Jarun Zagreb
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Crispin McLean has agreed terms with BSK Bijelo Brdo for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Tempers go at Jarun Zagreb
Vahid Gicić 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 Jarun Zagreb training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vito Matijević 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.

Ante Grgić gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Jarun Zagreb find a way past Lucko
Lucko made Jarun Zagreb work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
Player ratings12 Nov 2035
Vito Matijević in the eights
A performance of 8.07 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Talks stall between Jarun Zagreb and Branislav Sokol
“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
The dugout12 Nov 2035
A satisfied Interim Coach
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Interim Coach could afford to be generous.
In brief
- Squad Ante Bogdan has had enough of the bench
- The dugout Vahid Gicić asks for a word with the manager
- Squad No place for Martin Hoffmann in the new shape
