Meanwhile Partizan’s football team started to prepare for the 2015/16 season.

Valeri Bojinov (or Bozhinov) from Bulgaria signed today to Partizan's football team. The 29-year-old forward was offered a 2-year contract.
Bojinov has played in the Bulgarian national A team 43 times.
Zvezda played again with 8 team members (5 regular team members + 3 referees).
Not even our conscientious warm-up could help.

Right in the beginning Mitrović pushed Mačvan hard to the ground at our first attack, the referee whistled only a throw-in. Yet when Pavlović just touched Lazić and Zvezda’s player immediately acted as the Dying Mother Queen, the referee was watching with open mouth, then as an applause he fouled Pavlović. In the meantime Dangubić bit himself onto Tepić, like a tick. Not even a surgery could have cut him off from our point guard.
Partizan’s unbelievably patient and calm guard constantly had such a tick during the entire game. Either Dangubić, or Blažič or some other irreprovable red-and-white knight. (Feel the irony...) As the match was going on, Tepić’s facial expression got more and more tired.
Meanwhile we kept on scoring, it was a nip-and-tuck game at this point. Then at 7:9 Pavlović got his 2nd (!) foul. A Zvezda-player hit Milosavljević on the face, the referees didn’t whistle, but they did whistle a technical foul on Duško Vujošević after the trainer made it clear what he thinks about the referees’ mental state.

And only 5 minutes have passed...
At 13:12 Milutinov inactivated Blažič with a giant block,

then the Captain ran up and took back the lead (13:14). Tepić scored, too. It was surely not easy with those ticks on his neck, but Tepa made it, because he is a hero (13:16). At this point trainer Radonjić was sweating heavily
no wonder, with that awful red tie
so he asked for time-out and gathered his team on the bench. As a result, Milosavljević scored a 3-pointer (15:19). We finished the first quarter with 17:19.
In the second quarter Zvezda-players cranked up themselves and switched to moron mode. They attacked Partizan-players with the most possible aggressive and sly way. Even Lazić’s third foul at the very beginning of the quarter couldn’t stop it. We still kept our advantage (20:22), Dallo was running like flash among big and slow Zvezda-players. Mačvan scored even when 4 opponents were hanging on him (22:24), then when Dangubić ran up and with a great elan he wanted to score with the dunk of his life to gain back the lead for his team (at 25:26), the ball just rebounded off the ring.
Then doping probably started to take effect for Zirbes (29:26). Mačvan took the team on his back
it was a great achievement, because at least half of the opponent team was hanging on him as well
and reduced the difference to 33:31. At 35:31 he scored again, now a brutal 3-pointer, from at least 8 metres (35:34). That was the half-time result as well.

The third quarter was rather about wrestling, fighting and hitting each other. There was barely any scores. The partial result of the third quarter was 19:10 and that says all, as well as Pavlović getting a technical foul from the referees.
No, nobody got any technical foul from Zvezda during the entire game. Is anybody surprised?...
The result after the 3rd quarter was 54:44. Mačvan still put superhuman energies into motion. Tepić also scored, though his blood was constantly sucked by a red-white vampire.

Then came the last part.
At 57:48 the two teams started a fight under Partizan’s backboard. As a result, Mačvan got a technical foul, Zvezda got a free throw on golden plate (59:48). Milosavljević reduced the difference (59:53), then referees just had to whistle another free throw for Zvezda (60:53). Then, in the middle of an attack Milutinov suddenly fell on the court and stayed there with a painful face, holding his right leg. It was so painful for him, that he had to leave the court. He could do it only with the help of his teammates.

Upon post-match news there will be reliable information about Milutinov’s injury only tomorrow as well as how long it will take for him to recover. Thanks, Zvezda. You killed Murić, now you liquidated Milutinov as well. May you all get a brutal cold in the middle of the summer.
At 65:55 Mačvan fell to the floor. Just like Milutinov, he also had a painful face and couldn’t continue the game. All I could see from ArenaSport’s slow motion replay was that he fell, then painfully grabs his thigh. He left the court on his own legs, without support.

Upon post-match informations Mačvan is doing better since then.
In the meantime Zirbes knocked the ball out of Milosavljević’s hand in an absolutely not sportsmanlike way. The referee didn’t even notice it - or just pretended he didn’t notice it. The difference was more than 10 points (67:55), Lazić played the "slimy idiot" card, the referee was just watching it with a poker face. Partizan-players complained, but needless to say, the referee didn’t change his mind.
And then came that point when the referees found Marinković for some reason. Whatever the young Partizan-player did, resulted a foul.
The truth is that it was all made and organized by Williams. He continuously mocked Marinković provoking him until Partizan’s player made a firm defensive movement. The referee was already watching it, and when Marinković just took a breath, he whistled immediately. Foul for him, free throw for Zvezda. The referee did it 4 times in a row, within a minute. Don’t ever try to tell me it was just a co-incidence.
Referees increased Zvezda’s advantage to 76:62. The last minutes were solely about Zvezda’s free throws. Then it ended. 78:64. The second match comes on Monday, from 21:00.
This game was a lot different from the previous one with the easy-going 20-point difference. This time it was much closer, with more mistakes and at least questionnable referee judgements.
Warming up
In the first quarter we were on the lead for the whole time, usually with 2-3-4 points. At one point Metalac equalized (10:10), but Milosavljević quickly scored a 3-pointer and we took back the lead (10:13). It seemed though, the opponent tries everything to inactivate Mačvan. We finished the first part with 16:19.
A free throw in the first quarter
For the second quarter Milutinov already had a scratch on his neck, while Marinković got two fouls within a short time. Duško Vujošević questionned the referees’ judgement with big gestures, in exchange he got a technical foul. Personal fouls happened as often as at the previous game, the difference was that this time the judgements lacked logics.
Like, e.g. Mačvan was fouled because why not.
Meanwhile Metalac made a 5:2 series and took the lead (22:21). Milutinović decided to end it and quickly switched the standing to 22:25.
The game looked the same as in the first quarter. It was fragmented with lots of mistakes and fouls. Barely any basket was thrown. We finished the first half with 32:34.
Snapshot from the second quarter
The third quarter started with a short delay, because the ball disappeared. People were rushing up and down, finally they found a basketball and we could start the second half. Mačvan scored with a hook (32:36), then Milutinov performed the Block of the Year.

The game itself looked still the same, with almost no baskets and lots of fouls. Tepić was also fouled, all of a sudden, randomly, while ArenaSport’s commentators laughed loud on air that the sun was glaring into the Valjevo sports hall burning the eyes of the players.
At 36:38 Pavlović scored a life-saving 3-pointer (36:41). Then we could score only from free throw for quite a time. No, not because we are so lame and we can’t score from action, but because there were so many fouls. Andrić got his 4th personal foul
because why not
Metalac took back the lead (43:42), Tepić took it back (43:44). Metalac equalized (44:44), then Tepić and Mačvan quickly scored 5 points (44:49). We finished the third quarter with 46:53, Đumić scored, followed by Tepić, we had a 6-point difference.
In the last quarter the Bezbradica-Tepić-Milosavljević axis increased our difference to 10 points (50:60) and we tried to keep it. We could, what is more, at a point we made it to 15 points (52:67).
Miša Tumbas was there, of course
Then Metalac made a 13-point series. 65:67. They were right behind us. Mačvan immediately scored a 3-pointer (65:70), in the meantime Duško Vujošević got into a debate with the officials of the basketball association. On the court there was a heavy and bitter battle, still without scores. 9 seconds before the end Andrić was fouled out, 2 seconds before the end Jeremić also got his 5th personal foul. At the very end, at 69:71 we got a free throw, Milosavljević scored from it (69:73). Partizan qualified to the superliga final, where we’ll clash with Crvena Zvezda. The first match takes part on 12th June.
Partizan’s youth team is the champion!!! Partizan’s U18 (age group 1998) have won the football championship. They won over Zemun to 6:0 in the last round ensuring all sceptical people
are there any?...
they totally deserve the trophy.

Grupa JNA released their new single. It’s titled "Kop".
Here are the lyrics:
Koliko puta si mislio da
Staneš sa strane i bodriš ga sam
Ali ta masa zove te da
Staneš u kop i bodrite ga
I sve je isto kao ranije, bubanj trese
pale se baklje, luduje
I pesma nikada ne prestaje
Ceo Hram odjekuje
Partizan ole ole ole

And last but not least, the photo of the day: Miša Tumbas with a Ferrari.
The plan was about RTS 2 and ArenaSport broadcasting this match live, but finally all fans had to watch the one and only available semi-official KLS-stream, because all TV-channels found a volleyball match more important than the basketball championship semifinal.
At least we know our place in the order of importance.
But first things first, we warmed up.
Someone’s sneaker got pictured
Pavlović is warming up
Edo Murić was watching the game from the auditorium. Very bad news about him is that he must undergo operation with his injured shoulder. Nobody knows when he will recover fully.
Then we ran out to the court and made the standing quickly to 6:3. At a point Metalac equalized (8:8), but we took back the lead with the baskets of Milutinov and Mačvan (12:8). There was a big fight on the court, with lots of fouls and free throws. We made it to 19:10, Mačvan was very active during the entire quarter. Pavlović’s free throw brought the 10-point difference (28:18). We finished the quarter with 31:20, with Andrić’s 3-pointer just before the buzz.
Of course Miša Tumbas was there giving emotional support to the players
For the second quarter volleyball has ended, we could watch the game on TV (or TV stream). In the beginning Metalac scored (31:22), followed by a long silence. No baskets were scored, the two teams were just strangling each other silently. After more than 3 minutes (the display’s clock on the wall was at 06:50) when Mačvan threw a basket (33:22). The battle was still great, with fouls and free throws. At 35:24 Metalac’s trainer asked for a time-out. After that the guest team scored (35:26), but then Partizan made a 11:2 series. We scored mostly from free throw, but it could be seen clearly our 3-pointer king Andrić that he will make it big this time. The half-time result was 46:28, even at this point we were about to make the 20-point difference.
In the half-time, as always, children were playing on the court
For the third quarter we made the 20 points (50:28).
We continued like this. Pavlović, Marinković, Milutinov and Andrić increased the difference to 60:32. Even the 30-point difference seemed to be achieved. Dallo made a dunk with Pavlović’s assist (68:39). For the last quarter we entered with a 25-point difference (68:43).
Partizan-bench during the match
In the finale Metalac reduced the difference to 68:50, Milutinov settled back the 20-point difference (71:50). He made a slam dunk, while two Metalac-players were hanging on him (73:50). In the meantime Andrić threw a row of 3-pointers with a humble smile (79:55). At 82:65 Đumić was fouled out, then at 84:66, just a few seconds before the end Glišić scored a basket. 86:66. We won with a 20-point difference against Metalac, this way we are leading to 1:0. Next match is tomorrow, from 18:00 (on RTS 2 and ArenaSport 1, hopefully).
The football team signed a new (old) player. His name is Nikola Trujić, he started playing football in Partizan’s youth school. The 23-year-old winger played for Napredak Kruševac until now, before returning to ul. Humska. He signed for 4 years, his jersey number will be 92.
