Some said, this game would be a derby. In fact it was a training match.
News reported about the Szeged-based team that they arrived in Belgrade with half the team. No source mentions though why it happened so.
There isn’t much to say about it. It was smooth, we were leading in the first period to 3:0. In the second period started that wave of exclusions that added a lot to Szeged’s defeat. Partizan kept on scoring, the end result of the second part was 6:0.
Tihonov saved. He had 21 (!!!) saves during the game. Nothing could shake him, disturb him or weaken him. Tihonov is HK Partizan’s main bastion.
In the third period we scored two more. Game done, there are only two left until the play-off, one against HK Vitez the other is against Vojvodina.
The hero of the day was Pavle Ogrizović with two goals and an assist. The others - Dimitrije Filipović, Marko Milovanović, Anton Zhukov, Stepan Krivov, Alexander Vlasov and Nenad Raković - all scored 1-1.
First of all, a big thank you to szegedma.hu news site for the live text coverage and the excellent photos. They should be a great example to follow for all other news sites. Thanks and respect to everyone there!
The city of Szeged was looking forward to the arrival of Partizan a lot, they all took this match as a great derby. Meanwhile Partizan got a reinforcement of 3 new Russian players in the meantime, namely Alexey Tifonov, Evgeny Vlasov and Anton Zhukov.

Then Partizan got a "deus ex machina"-alike start. They pushed a heavy pace, Brkušanin scored our first goal in the 4th minute. (0:1) Szeged missed out a number of chances, if I could see well in the report of szegedma.hu, they actually scored a goal some time in the 10th minute, but referees invalidated it. Not that much later we were in power play, Milovanović took the advantage of it, shot and scored (0:2)

Then for 6 long minutes the two teams were just battling hard against each other. Goalkeepers brought their best on both sides, while Vlasov missed out a couple of chances (so did Ódry on the other side of the ice hall). Then in the 16th minute Zhukov passed the puck to Vlasov, Vlasov thanked and shot it into the net. 0:3

Until the end of the first part there was only a missed out chance left by Milovanović as well as a very heavy pressure by Partizan. The reporter of szegedma.hu wrote about Partizan’s Russian players who were (according to him) all a great advantage for us.

Only 4 minutes passed from the second part, when Partizan was ahead with 0:4. Brkušanin sent a distant cannon shot to the goal of Szeged and scored. The home team reduced the difference a minute later by Ódry's goal (1:4).

This goal sped up a bit the home team, but Brkušanin cooled them down in the 30th minute with a goal shot from power play (1:5). Then Vlasov hit the goalpost, then referees whistled and Partizan got a penalty. Mitić shot, Szeged's goalkeeper Szőke saved it.
Szeged got into power play in the 34th minute for the first time, but the funny (or absurd) was that even this way Partizan almost scored.

Finally we really did score. Milovanović scored from a cheeky, extremely sharp angle. (1:6) Until the end of the second part there was no more goals, just a very heavy Partizan-pressure.
In the last part Volán sped up and tried to push Partizan hard, but eventually we scored again. In the 44th minute Brkušanin passed to Zhukov, the Russian didn’t waste any time, shot and scored. 1:7 Oh, and for the whole time Szeged was in power play.

Then we got into double power play. We took advantage of it, now Terzić scored (1:8)
In the 47th minute Szeged scored another goal. First Bosnyák shot, but that was saved by Luković. The puck dropped to Dávid Szabó, he scored. 2:8

Then in the 51st minute Gabrić almost started a private fight with a Szeged-player, but eventually everyone was calmed down. For a while both teams missed out their chances, then at the very end, almost at the end buzz Milovanović slid up on the left and passed to Zhukov, who slid with the puck right into the net, settling the final result. 2:9

Victory and celebration together with the fans

I owe you a lot of results and news, I make them up now in this post.
On 20th the handball team played eternal derby against the red team in the 14th round of SuperLiga. We won over them with an exciting, spectacular game, to 36:30.
It wasn't easy though, in the first half Zvezda kept the lead for almost the whole time. We equalized around the 25th minute (14:14), Vanja Ilić tackled the Zvezda-player, ran up and smashed the ball into the net. The half time result was 16:14.
In the half time pause there was a small celebration. Sunday was Miša Tumbas’s birthday and the handball team greeted him and gave him a gift.
After this the boys ran back to the court for the second half and humiliated reds. They ground Zvezda’s otherwise rock hard defense line to pieces, took control into their hands and from then on they kept on leading. In the 56th minute the standing was 33:28, with the difference of 7 goals. The end result was settled by Radojković. The hero of the day was Igor Mršulja with 9 goals.
And now, cuteness overload: grim Grave Diggers vs. children.
The entire match is available on Youtube, the first half can be viewed here, the second half here.
The volleyball team is still undefeated. On Saturday they clashed with Radnički and won easily over the Kragujevac-based team to 3:0. The Marko Nikolić-Milija Mrdak duo was again on top, scoring 15 and 14 points respectively. The first two sets was won by us, both to 25:20, then in the last one the guest team took the lead to 6:13. Partizan picked themselves together, made a 7:0 series and equalized to 18:18. From then on there was no return, we won the last game to 25:18.
Miša Tumbas celebrated his 61st birthday on Sunday. It was something that had to be celebrated properly.
His house still needs a lot of restauration, but it is already much better than it used to be (a million thanks to those who donated!), but it didn’t keep back Grave Diggers and the members of Grupa JNA to gather there together to greet Miša. They brought all kinds of food and drinks, they baked a birthday cake and the pictures (and video) all talk about them having fun.

On Wednesday the water polo team got defeated in Triglav League by Mornar. The Split-based team was on the lead to 6:7 in the half-time, and they made it to 6:10 for the end of the 3rd quarter. We scored 3 goals in the last period, but it wasn't enough. The end result was 9:11. Nikola Jakšić scored the most goals (3). With this loss we got down to the 7th place of our group. There is only one team behind us, Crvena Zvezda. Both us and them have 7 points.

The hockey team defeated Szegedi Tisza Volán to 6:5 with penalty shots. The end result was 5:5. We won the first part to 2:0 with the goals of Ogrizović (assist: Brkušanin) and Čuković (assist: Filipović). In the second period we were leading to 4:2. Our goals were scored by Raković (assist: Pajević) and Ristić. From Tisza Volán the two goal scorers were Ambrus and Fülöp. In the last period Szeged equalized. From our team only Raković scored (assist: Ristić), Tisza Volán players Strenk, Pápa and Salánki scored the equalizing shots.
Penalty shots were started by Komazec, he scored (1:0). Next was Egyed, our goalkeeper saved. Filipović scored (2:0), so did Strenk (2:1). Janković’s shot was saved by Szeged’s goalkeeper, while Pápa's one missed the goal line.

The upheaval around the football club still doesn't want to calm down. On one hand some rumours say, Tumbaković’s position got uncertain after Ćirić left. Some say, president Zoran Popović talked to Nenad Bjeković, whom some see as the replacement for Tumbaković. Of course everyone is denying everything.
In the meantime the debts of FK Partizan got public and were officially confirmed as well. According to the news the entire debt is more than 14 million euros. The biggest amount the club owes is 4,7 million euros, that should be transferred to the Serbian tax office. The unpaid salaries the team owes for players and workers cost 3,314 million euros altogether. The different managements and player agencies demand 2.534.800 euros, other companies more than one and a half million euros. The team owes Partizan Travel (the company that is responsible for all kinds of trips and travels for the team to both inland and foreign places) 1,189 million euros. Other financial debts cost 1,03 million, while UEFA demands 585 600 euros in still unpaid fees.
That’s it, at the moment.
Meanwhile a group of Grave Diggers visited SC Teleoptik in Zemun, where the team had their usual training session, and as always, ALWAYS they flooded the boys with their love (and a few torches).

May God smash all those in the face with an XXL-sized thunder who give no shit to the Serbian ice hockey championship, that I had to dig again to the darkest depths of internet to find the result and the details of this match. It’s especially shameful that even the home page of the Serbian Ice Hockey Association barely contains match details (in general). For God’s sake, if you re-started the ice hockey league, at least do it in style! Respect the players (and fans) enough to report about every match! (And not 2 weeks later, but immediately.)
What I could still find out: the first goal was scored in the 11th minute by Szeged, but their hegemony ended at this point. Brkušanin equalized in power play in the 17th minute (1:1), three minutes later Janković scored and we were leading (2:1), and the Steam Roller overrode Tisza Volán. Milovanović (3:1, 23rd minute, power play), Brkušanin again (4:1, 25th minute). The 35th minute brought another Szeged goal (4:2), but they were in power play. Aleksa Luković’s answer came in the 44th minute (5:2, power play), Brkušanin made a hat-trick (6:2, 46th minute). Here happened two Szeged goals in the 50th and the 53th minute (the latter one came from power play by Szeged). Then 3 minutes later Szeged was still in power play, but Milovanović scored (7:4), then again, 2 minutes later, because it’s better to be safe than sorry (8:4). In the last minutes Szeged scored another goal, but it didn’t have any effect on the fact that WE WON.
Championship standings*
1. Beostar 17 points
2. HK Partizan 10 points
3. Szegedi Tisza Volán 10 points
4. CZ 3 points
5. HK Vitez 2 points
6. Novi Sad 0 point
* Hard to say after how many rounds, because there are teams that played 7 matches and those who played only 1.
Partizan beat the only Hungarian team of the Serbian ice hockey league in a very exciting match (some say it was the Mach of the Year). Aleksa Luković scored in the 2nd minute. Partizan pressured the Szeged team heavily, not letting them breath. In the 14th minute Milovanović hit the second goal. (The hero of the home team was definitely goalkeeper Attila Szőke. Hungarian news site szegedma.hu reports about Partizan putting Szeged's goal area under continuous pressure.) At the end of the period Ódry reduced the difference from a penalty shot. The result of the first 20 minutes was 1:2.
In the second period the two teams couldn't get above each other. No goal was scored, goalkeepers pulled down the shutter on both sides. Then in the 3rd period Szeged equalized with András Fodor's goal to 2:2. Partizan had numerous chances missed, mostly because Szőke was always at his place. Then in the 52nd minute of the game we got the lead with Brkušanin’s goal. There was even some wrestling (Raković vs. Lippai). The last minute brought a heart attack-type of chance for Szeged, when Partizan’s goalkeeper, Milan Luković literally threw himself on the puck, Ódry threw himself on him, but finally no more goals were scored.
