In the next ten days we've three Eternal derbies, a top two face off in Slovenia and a lot more besides...
Every league covered:
Have Celje already sealed things? Who are the favourites in Croatia? Can Zrinjski make a comeback? Will Partizan implode?
All that and quite a lot more...
While Bosnia's place in the timeline is complete, the ripples from decisions made during that time took time to show themselves. In this companion to those episodes, we connect the dots from the changes of the timeline to the very real disarray in Bosnian football of the current day.
As Bosnia becomes a nation, so it gets a national side, while UEFA have one more bureaucratic change to make that will make the nation's gains wither on the vine.
We're back in Bosnia as it's time to explain the peace and explain how and why the nation went from three different systems into one as club football came back to life.
International football is done for 2023 and I'm apparently so happy about it I felt the need to be very sing-songy in the opening couple of minutes. Also being sung are the praises of Slovenia, Marco Pasalic and Montenegro all rounded up with the requiem mass of Bosnia's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad campaign.
With the top five in Croatia all having changed manager this season and sides seemingly set for the lowest points total of title winners ever, it's time to take a long look at just what's been going down this season in the league...
Two episodes that had, for some reason, disappeared from the feed rerecorded with a couple of small updates
Episode 21 - The Stars
Episode 22 - Munich
Covering Zvezda's mid-1950's rise, the 1956 Olympics and the Munich Air Disaster
With thanks to Louis Ostrowski (@ostrl) who advised me these episodes were missing
Managerial Merry-go-rounds in Slovenia, Livaja problems in Croatia, conflict impacted schedules and more...
With losses to Celje and Olimpija confirming Maribor's status as also-rans in the title race this season, recriminations and communications have begun to define the season. This episode serves as an extended walkthrough just what's going on at the club as while last season's early poor form may have been worse, the issues now threaten to be far stickier and more troublesome.
A review of the latest international week and a preview of the upcoming massacre of the Serbian coefficient in the Group Stages of various competitions
We bid a fond nasvidenje to Slovenia from the timeline as Slovenia's mid-00s footballing crisis sends clubs to the wall, including none other than Olimpija.
A race through the region's campaigns in the Champions, Europa and Conference League discussing fan problems in multiple ties, how not to sack a manager and the occasional bit of good news too...
It's the final season preview as Kosovo brings up the rear but will it be serving up something very similar to last season too?
Can Zrinjski break the European Group Stage hoodoo? Even if they don't, can anyone stop them? Is Varesanovic the difference between a title tilt and mid-table for Sarajevo? All that and quite a bit more...
With Kolubara's situation sorted, matters on the park can finally begin - is it another procession for Zvezda? Can Partizan fight back against TSC and Cukaricki? Which promoted side am I tipping for the top half? All that and quite a considerable bit more...
Buducnost got this, haven't they?
Can Olimpija repeat, did Zan Vipotnik just cover up Maribor's problems and which side playing in Yellow will be finishing near the bottom? All that and an awful lot more...
Questions over Dinamo's structure, Hajduk's Livaja problem, Rijeka's bright future and a whole lot more...
An explainer on the current match-fixing allegations that have meant the Serbian season has had to be delayed and meant that, over a month after the 22/23 season ended, we still don't know exactly who will actually be playing in the Superliga next season courtesy of CAS, UEFA, the FSS and a whole cohort of clubs.
