Mladost - VK Partizan 9:9 (Triglav Liga, Round 3)

What a game it was. Even though we started with great pace and power, at the end we were struggling to equalize.
I have brought you screenshots about the match, I don’t want to wait until official photos will be released, if there’s any at all.


(screenshots)

We got a penalty shot right in the beginning, we scored (0:1). Some time around the half of the quarter Mladost equalized (1:1). A couple of attempts were missed out on both sides, then Gogov took back the lead (1:2), then he scored another, because it’s always better to be safe than sorry (1:3). Rističević made great saves, in the meantime Drašović shot and scored (1:4). The home team reduced the difference just a few seconds before the buzz (2:4).

Partizan’s timeout soon before the end of the first quarter

In the second quarter Mladost quickly scored from power play (3:4). We increased the difference from penalty (3:5), but the Croatian team immediately scored from a counter-attack (4:5).

(screenshot)

Subotić quickly shot a goal (4:6), and it was around this point, when a nasty ordeal occurred for us.
We just couldn’t score any goal for a long time.
For our great-great luck we had our Dimitrije Rističević.
It was amazing what this man performed. He saved everything. We can thank especially to him that the Croatian team didn’t kill us.
Because in the meantime nothing worked for us. We always hit the goalpost or the crossbar, no matter if we shot from the distance or from nearby. Mladost reduced the difference, what is more, just a few seconds before the half-time they equalized. (6:6)
The third quarter was awful. We demonstrated how not to play water polo. We screwed up everything possible.
Yet at the other side Rističević saved even the impossible with the persistence of a rock.
So, dear Reader, now you overcome your laziness, stand up straight and salute to him.

While Average Fan died a bit after every missed-out chance.
Then Mladost took the lead after a counter-attack. (7:6)
Our boys kept on hitting the crossbar. Gilen, Subotić, Gogov all missed it out. No matter from where they tried to shoot, the ball always hit the plastic instead of the net.

(screenshot)

Vladimir Vujasinović asked for time-out, trying to tidy up the chaos in the heads. But even this didn’t work out. Jakšić was sent off, Mladost was in power play and they took advantage of it. (8:6)

(screenshot)

At the end of the quarter, after more than 8 minutes we could score and reduce the difference (8:7).
In the final quarter we continued to perform the "how not to play waterpolo"-movie as well as tearing up fans’ nerves into small pieces. Manojlović hit the crossbar almost from the goal line, then he missed out another attempt as well. If we didn’t hit the crossbar, then Croatian defenders inactivated us. And in this unbelievable, surreal circus Mladost scored another goal. 9:7, and there are barely one and a half minute left.
And Subotić scored!!!! 9:8!!!!
There’s only one minute left!

May all the devils of the hell take ArenaSport’s technicians for a sledge ride on his birthday, because on the screen "9:7" could be seen for a very long time. Average Fan thought the referees invalidated Subotić’s goal - which was a cheeky, amazing goal by the way - and Croatians are still on the lead with 2 goals. So, the channel owes me a number of hairs that grew grey for me extremely quickly during this last half minute.

And then, for the very last seconds we sped up and right before the end buzz Gogov equalized with a fantastic goal. 9:9!
The end. And we are happy, because we could steal a point from Zagreb.
The hero of the day was Gavril Subotić no, actually it’s Dimitrije Rističević, but Subotić scored the most goals (4) - there’s no info about Rističević’s saves though. Subotić is followed by Gogov with 3 goals. Drašović and Radojević both scored 1-1 goal.

VK Partizan - Jadran ST 12:6 (Triglav League)

It's unbelievable, this manifestation of amateur attitude, when in one hand the water polo team's match is not broadcasted at all

but the red team's match is

but the details are barely mentioned, maybe only in the deepest depths of the internet. Even if the water polo boys had a shining victory in the Banjica pool, running through Jadran mercilessly.
The match was one big Gilen-festival, he scored 4 goals, followed by Mandić and his 3 shots.
If there’s anything, photo, video, report

there won’t be any, I know

I’ll update.

Mornar - VK Partizan 8:7 (Triglav League)

None of the teams could qualify earlier to the Final Four, so the match didn't have any significant stake.

Probably that's why none of the channels broadcasted it...

Mornar was on the lead for almost the whole time. They won the first quarter to 3:2, but we could equalize for the half-time to 4:4. In the third period the Split-based team sped up and increased the difference to 8:5. In the last quarter we scored 2 goals, they scored none, but even that wasn't enough for a draw.
The hero of the day was the goalkeeper here, too, Rističević had 10 (!) saves, keeping the team back from a bigger defeat. The most goals (2) was scored by Jakšić, the other goal shooters were Mandić, Subotić, Gogov, Manojlović and Stojanović.

Jug Dubrovnik - VK Partizan 13:7 (Triglav League)

This was not funny.
We kept ourselves until 3:3, even then Stojanović equalized. But even the first quarter was won by the Croatian team to 5:3 and they didn’t really climb down from this height. They made it to 7:3, keeping the lead to 8:4 in the half-time.

I'm not sure how much the fact can be on our defense that neither Subotić, nor Tanasković played. I guess, not at all.

After the half-time we got the coup de grace. At the end of the third quarter the standing was 10:5, they settled the final result in the 4th part.
Partizan’s goals were scored by Mandić (2), Radojević (2), Stojanović (2) and Vico (1).

Current group standings:
1. Primorje 40 points
2. Radnički 32 points
3. Mladost 28 points
4. Partizan 22 points
5. POŠK 16 points

All in one (handball, volleyball, water polo, ice hockey)

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.

Baking the cake (the Cyrillic script says: Grave Diggers love you)

The birthday gift Miša got was an image of Duško Vujošević. The basketball team’s head coach is Miša’s well-wisher

Celebration, joy, emotions




With Grupa JNA


Miša Tumbas’s house still needs a lot of work. You can help by sending donation to this account number:


You can also help by purchasing this T-shirt. All money that comes in from this will be spent on helping Miša Tumbas. It costs 1000 din, at this moment you can order it only at the phone number under this image.

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).

Video can be seen here, embed function on sportnetwork.rs is a nightmare.

VK Crvena Zvezda - VK Partizan 8:8 (Triglav League)

We started with a good pace. Average Fan even had distant day-dreams about a possible high goal difference victory over the red team, especially that the match was organized in Milan Gale Muškatirović Swimming Pool.
In the first quarter we were self-confident, winning it to 3:4. Slobodan Soro finally came back home from Brazil and made miracles at the goal line. Subotić and Mandić made a fool of Šefik time after time. We even made it for the half-time, being on the lead to 4:6.
The third quarter is yet something to forget as quickly as possible. Nothing worked, the entire period was a desperate swimming between the two goal-lines struggling. It isn’t much of a comforting thought that the opponent also failed to take advantage of their chances, the quarter’s only goal was still scored by them soon before the end. Their goalkeeper picked himself together and their defense line formed a much stronger wall than in the first half.
The last quarter was a total nervous breakdown. Red team equalized, then they even took the lead (8:7). Their goalkeeper made impossible tricks while having a wide grin at Partizan-players who seemingly turned into more and more pale. Finally Jakšić got fed up and equalized 40 seconds before the end buzz.


The team’s best were Subotić, Mandić and Stojanović, all scored 2-2 goals.

VK Partizan - VK Jug Dubrovnik 5:12 (Triglav League)

There isn't much to detail about it... We lost. Croatian team took the lead already in the first quarter, to 1:5. In the second they scored "only" one goal, the half-time result was 1:6. In the third period we threw two goals, but the problem was that the players of Dubrovnik threw another, the standing was 3:7 at this point. In the final quarter they destroyed us.
Only Gavril Subotić can be highlighted from Partizan, he scored two goals. After the match he admitted, the team this night played in a very bad form.

VK Partizan - Budvanska Rivijera 8:8 (Triglav League)

We are not really overwhelmed with infos about yesterday’s water polo match. As a start, no TV channels broadcasted it

it would have hurt someone, right?...

and even news sites write about it as just some interesting news for the "Mix" section, if they mention it at all.
Fact is, we were leading to 6:4 in the half time, then the Montenegrin team equalized in the 3rd quarter. Radulović, Tanasković and Radojević all scored 2-2 goals. There’s no info about the others.

Current standing of our group:
1. Primorje 40 points
2. Radnički Kragujevac 32 points
3. Mladost 28 points
4. Partizan 22 points
5. POŠK 16 points

Jadran ST - VK Partizan 10:11 (Triglav League)

As they say, in the first half of the match we demonstrated how to play water polo. Then in the second half we demonstrated how not to.

Quoting the witty remark of a fellow Partizan-fan: it could have been with more goals, but we didn’t want to trash the opponent.
We do have heart.

The start was phenomenal. We got the ball at first and immediately scored, with Gilen’s distant shot (0:1). Macedonians equalized, but Gogov shot us back on the lead from a counter-attack. He dribbled himself alone to the opponents goalmouth, a defender desperately tried to catch him, but he was behind the player of Partizan with at least half meter (1:2). Rističević saved everything, rolling down the shutters. Nobody could score to him, not even giving him a nasty look. Not even when the opponent was in power play.
We scored from another counter-attack with Radojević’s shot (1:3). Soon before the end of the first quarter he threw another goal, we could enter the next period with 1:4.
The second quarter was even better than the first. Jadran tried with an attack, but we again got the ball, started a counter-attack and Andrejević scored (1:5). Another counter-attack, another Gogov-goal (1:6). At this point the home team also scored (2:6), our reply was Radojević (2:7). The Macedonian team took advantage of a power play (3:7), later Andrejević did so, too (3:8). Right before the end of the first half Rističević had another giant save while the opponent was in power play.
We had a five-goal advantage. And then, after the break we showed how to waste this advantage and how to sweat blood for the victory.

For the team’s defense: key players got a day off for today. Mandić and Subotić played yesterday for the Serbian national team against Russia, before that they humiliated Galatasaray. So now we had to send those players into battle who had less routine.

Jadran scored two quick goals (5:8), as for us, we could show off only with Gilen’s shot (5:9). Both teams missed out a lot of chances. At the end of the period the home team scored another goal (6:9), from our side Lazić threw one just before the end buzz (6:10).
The last quarter brought a similar amount of missed chances, and it paid off, as it did a zillion times before. Jadran reduced their difference to only 3 goals, when Stojanović threw a score (7:11). At this point we were done. I still suggest though to engild the hands of Rističević, we can thank him and his excellence (among others) that we could finally win this match.

VK Partizan - VK Mladost 10:8 (Triglav League)

Goalkeeper Rističević was the hero of the day. Right at the beginning he had a huge save while the opponent team was in power play. Right after this Subotić scored Partizan’s first goal (1:0). Our defense line was very strong and it says all that Mladost’s first (and equalizing) goal was a terrible, weak shot, soon before the end. No one knows why the referees validated it. (1:1)

The ball was floating on the surface of the water rolling around, crossing the goal line while sailing on the waves. Everyone was screaming and waving, the referee whistled and pointed at the middle of the pool. Thanks.

As an answer, Mandić made a giant block while defending a Croatian try, may his hands be engilt, and we could start a counter-attack. Stojanović scored, we were on the lead (2:1). As the final scene of the period, Rističević again had a wonderful save.
In the second quarter Croatian team quickly equalized (2:2) and they seemed to decide to take control of the match. They took control so much that Gilen tore the net to pieces (3:2). Mladost equalized from power play (3:3), Stojanović again took the lead with a distant shot (4:3). Rističević again saved the unsaveable, Mladost kept us under continuous control, but Rističević saved.
And saved.
And again saved.

I want you all to make a statue of him. Now. And put it to the entrance of the Banjica sports complex.

At the beginning of the second half Mladost again equalized (4:4), then... then we got into a triple "man down" situation. Three players were sent off from us, Mladost was in an absolute power play. I swear I don’t know how it could all happen, referees were just whistle and wave, there was a big upheaval and wrestling in front of our goal line...
...AND RISTIČEVIĆ SAVED!!!
HE SAVED IN TRIPLE MAN-DOWN POWER PLAY!!!
It was unbelievable, seriously.
Meanwhile Gogov was fouled out and Croats tried to score to Rističević from a few centimetres. But at this match nobody could score to Rističević, not even the Almighty Heavenly Father. Rističević saved in triple man-down power play, after this a try from a few centimetres was almost an offense for him.
Then Jakšić scored the biggest troll goal I’ve ever seen. He grabbed the ball and shot it with a twist in his wrist, as if he would be playing ducks and drakes. The ball was dropping on the surface, Mladost’s goalkeeper was sinking with a desperate expression on his face and the ball rolled into the net. (5:4)
Then the opponent equalized again (5:5), but only to give a chance to Manojlović to take us on the lead again. It was awesome, Manojlović was wrestling with an XXL-sized Croatian player in front of the goalmouth. The opponent player was about to drown Manojlović into the water, when the ball dropped next to Partizan’s player. All you could see was a hand appearing from underneath the Croatian player. It grabbed the ball and dropped it into the net. The standing was 6:5.
You get what I mean. Manojlović can score even while being half-drowned. The Croatian player, who was wrestling with him, just looked at the ball in the corner of the net with a confused face.
Then Subotić took advantage of the shock and quickly scored another (7:5). He shot somewhere from the half-line, raising up from the water waist-high and sent a bomber into Mladost’s net. Croatian team reduced the difference about 3 seconds before the end (7:6), but we were still on the lead.
In the last quarter Jakšić came, saw and scored a giant goal (8:6), while Rističević saved with a grin on his face. Mladost players picked themselves together and equalized, but they couldn’t stand against the Steam Roller, however much they tried. Stojanović set back World Peace (9:8), and finally the dot was put to "i" by Mandić (10:8) 11 seconds before the end.

Coming up: TODAY!!! Volgograd - KK Partizan (Eurocup) and VK Partizan - Jadran ST (Triglav League) + tomorrow: Besiktas - FK Partizan (Europa League)

Today at 17:00 starts the basketball team against Russian team Volgograd.
- It will be a very tough match, we must do our best - said Milutinov.
Duško Vujošević explained in the meantime that the schedules of Adriatic League and Eurocup do not match each other and sometimes it means serious difficulties to balance the two.

I can totally relate to that.

Beside this the team's self-esteem and combative spirit reached a low level, due to all the losses in the past weeks. Plus Mačvan is still not healthy.
- We are in a very difficult situation, but I hope the saying "darkest before dawn" will be proven true - said the trainer.

At 20:00 the water polo team welcomes Jadran ST at the Banjica swimming pool. After the 5th round the team is 6th on the league table, while the opponent is the 7th.

The basketball team’s match will be broadcasted live today by ArenaSport 1. Around the water polo team there is big silence, if I get to know anything about a possible broadcast, I’ll update the post.

The football team departed to Istanbul today to take revenge on Besiktas for the defeat of last time. They clash tomorrow at 19:00.
- It is a great chance to match our strength against a serious opponent - said Marko Nikolić - In Belgrade we could see the dominance of Besiktas. Now we meet again and I hope we could gain some good experiences. This time we are the "underdog", yet I hope we will play a better game than last time.

The football match will be broadcasted live by RTS 2.

Until then, here is a video about the boys arriving at Nikola Tesla airport.

Mladost - VK Partizan 16:8 (Triglav League)

The Croatian team kept the entire match under control, they didn’t let things slip out of their hands even for a moment. Partizan played in black, Mladost grabbed the ball after the starting sprint. At first Partizan's goalkeeper made a great save, but later on he still had to reach out into the net for the ball (1:0). Mandić equalized with a distant shot, but after a foul the opponent got a penalty and scored (2:1). After 3:1 Mandić reduced the difference, even Subotić scored (4:3). We even equalized by Gogov (4:4), but the end result of the quarter was 5:4, Mladost scoring just 7 seconds before the end.
The second quarter brought improving advantage for the home team. 6:4, then 7:4, then Subotić made it 7:5 (with the classic trick, he was swinging the ball until the goalkeeper slowly started to sink), but the reply was immediate (8:5). About 1 minute before half time Mladost’s player threw the ball into our net from a few centimetres. 9:5
The third part brought two quick goals for both sides (10:6, Stojanović made it for us), then the rest approx. 7 minutes were eventless. Missed chances, underwater wrestling. In the final quarter Croatian players scored from all possible chances. 11:6, here Tanasković threw a goal for us (11:7), then 12:7, 13:7... and so on, until the very end, when Manojlović threw the team’s 8th goal with a great backhand movement.
As they say, this was that match that must be forgotten quickly and we must focus only on the upcoming one.

Coming up: all in bulk

Saturday will be a tough day, three matches will be played by three different divisions of Partizan. The handball team starts the day, being the hosts for Kolubara from 18:45. If all goes well, everyone can follow the match here via live stream.
By the way, handball, a few days ago some of the boys took part at Ušće Fashion Night. Vanja Ilić, Stevan Sretenović, Nemanja Živković and Mihajlo Radojković all appeared on the catwalk (while probably trying hard not to burst into laugh).






(photos: rkpartizan.rs)

They are followed by the basketball team. They haven’t decided yet though whether they want to continue their career as male models

I just couldn’t help

they meet Metalac at 19:00 in Adriatic League.
- Our loss against Krka was unforeseen, the rest was more or less expected - summarized Duško Vujošević. - All of them put us into a kind of delicate position, but we still mustn’t panic and get tensed. I hope we can find a position where we can psychologically relax.
- Metalac is a very good team, they played quite open matches against Budućnost and Cedevita. They are highly motivated against us.
The basketball match will be broadcasted live by SportKlub 3.

The last fighters of the day are the waterpolo team. They play against Mladost in Triglav League. They start at 21:15 in Zagreb.
Mladost - VK Partizan will be broadcasted live by ArenaSport 1.

VK Partizan - Primorje 10:11 (Triglav League)

To make last night's disaster complete, the water polo team lost against Primorje. Though they lost with just one goal, in a very close fight. The hero of the day was Dušan Mandić who scored 5 goals himself. The very final score of the game was left for the last seconds, after a questionable

to say the least

referee decision. Vladimir Vujasinović made no secret about being disappointed.

VK Partizan - Branik Maribor 20:6 (Triglav League, Round 2)

In the meantime the water polo team stepped over the Slovenian team laughing hard, they probably even composed a comedy-opera. There were no circles of politeness, Partizan was leading 8:0 after the first quarter. Then they slowed down a bit, probably for energy-sparing reasons (3:1, 3:2), just to turn up themselves to full blast for the last quarter and knock out the Maribor team (6:3).
Radulović and Gogov both did their best to make this match a parade, scoring 4-4 goals. Andrejević, Manojlović and Stojanović all checkmated the Slovenian goalkeeper with 2-2 goals, while Lazić, Vučinić and Repanović all added 1-1 goals to the final result.
