Anger at Yverdon 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.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Yverdon this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The afternoon belonged to Nishan Burkart
A mark of 7.87, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
