Match

Jesenice end the Brinje Grosuplje run at 10

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 10 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Squad

A row about effort at Brinje Grosuplje

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tim Štrasberger was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Words exchanged at Brinje Grosuplje

Matevž Matko 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Brinje Grosuplje against Jesenice

0‑2 to Jesenice, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Jesse Debrah 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.

The dugout

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 Gregor Verbic to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Brinje Grosuplje

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

The form table has caught Gašper Pečnik

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Looking ahead

Haris Bičakčić faces his old club

Slovan Ljubljana next, and one man in the Brinje Grosuplje dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Match

Whatever happens, Brinje Grosuplje do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

A falling-out at Brinje Grosuplje

Aljaž Antolin and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at Brinje Grosuplje training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tim Štrasberger 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Tim Štrasberger

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Jesse Debrah has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Brinje Grosuplje know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Match

Brinje Grosuplje and Nafta 1903 take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market

Still no ink between Brinje Grosuplje and Jesse Debrah

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Brinje Grosuplje, another week without a signature from Jesse Debrah.

The dugout

Gregor Verbic: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout

Tai Žnuderl asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief
