From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

David Ankeye scores twice — 9.07

Two goals and a mark of 9.07 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Zoran Popović stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Anes Rušević

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Zeleznicar Pancevo have done the hard part with Novi Pazar, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Branislav Knežević beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Zeleznicar Pancevo

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

Gimnasia y Esgrima tell Zeleznicar Pancevo: Tobías Cervera is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Zeleznicar Pancevo

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

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Zoran Popović 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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Kwaku Karikari in the eights

A performance of 8.23 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad10 Aug 2026

7 saves: Zoran Popović was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad10 Aug 2026

David Ankeye stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” David Ankeye and Zeleznicar Pancevo agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Zeleznicar Pancevo

Zoran Popović 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.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Slovan Bratislava tell Zeleznicar Pancevo: Aleksandar Popović is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market10 Aug 2026

Zeleznicar Pancevo promote Aleksandar Kostic from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Aleksandar Kostic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Zeleznicar Pancevo promote Filip Mladenovic from within

One of our own: Vladimir Markovic joins the Zeleznicar Pancevo first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Vladimir Markovic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Dusan Babic joins the Zeleznicar Pancevo first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Dusan Babic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Match8 Aug 2026

Radnik Surdulica take the points off Zeleznicar Pancevo

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Zoran Popović signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Zoran Popović and Zeleznicar Pancevo agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Zoran Popović in a row with a teammate

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Kwaku Karikari 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.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Janko Jevremović beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Zeleznicar Pancevo rebuffed over Đorđe Despotović

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Austria Wien have kept their man, and Zeleznicar Pancevo go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Kwaku Karikari did the work nobody counts — 6.64

12 combined actions and 6.64. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Match1 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Zeleznicar Pancevo against IMT

0‑1 to IMT, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Nikola Jovanović reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Market3 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Zeleznicar Pancevo and Zoran Popović

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Zeleznicar Pancevo, another week without a signature from Zoran Popović.
