The Piast Post
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
A brace, and German Barkovskiy takes the afternoon — 8.62
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. German Barkovskiy provided it, and the 8.62 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Door shut on Fraser Hornby
Piast asked and Darmstadt 98 said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Piast turn down Mura for Domen Gril
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Words exchanged at Piast
Jorge Félix 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.

Piast sign Benedykt Piotrowski for $77.0K
The paperwork is done: Benedykt Piotrowski joins from Polonia Warszawa in a deal worth $77.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Benedykt Piotrowski gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Benedykt Piotrowski has just signed for Piast, and for once the answer mattered.

Dominik Holec 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.

Leandro Sanca 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.

Late, late show earns Piast a point
Minute 92, against Raków Częstochowa, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.
