Milan Borjan was the goalkeeper for NIS, they lost 1-0 at RAD Beograd.

 

In Slovakia, Milovan Kapor played for 90 minutes, but his side Banska Bystrica lost 4-0 at home.

 

Zlate Moravce also lost, so Banska still has a shot. Cebara remained on the bench.

 

 

Taking a look at Germany, REW's Stuttgarter Kickers did themselves a favor by winning over Borussia Dortmund 2. Randy started on the bench but came into the game after only 20 minutes. They are in third place right now which is good for a promotion playoff game, and sitting one point behind #2 Holstein Kiel, which would be good for direct promotion to the 2. Bundesliga.

 

One level below, Corbin-Ong's BAK lost 1-0, he did put in another full shift for them.

 

Thompson's KSV Baunatal suffered a huge blow at home by Pirmasens. These direct competitors beat them 0-3, Thompson played 90 minutes at Centre Back. They look to be heading to relegation fast. Thompson's contract expires this summer though.

 

Tomer Chenciski started for ROPS in the League Cup Final, which they lost to HJK Helsinki.

 

Luca Gasparotto played 90 for Airdrieonians as was mentioned in last week's thread. Scotlands League One that is.

I think Di Chiara got injured March 21st.  He was not present in Okzhetepes match this weekend, after leaving the match in the 26' a couple weeks ago.

 

Also, want to point out that the 2 Canadian boys for NK Rudes in Croatia's second tier have been playing.  Particularly Jacques-Colin who is putting together a pretty good season over there, 4 goals in 20 games in the midfield.  Donald Gee has seen a few minutes and a couple starts, but nothing recent.

Kevin Aleman got another start for Belen, as they continue their remarkable come-back. After just one win in 2015, now they have 3 in a row. Still on last place, but now within 2 points of safety. Aleman got subbed off after 78 minutes. 

 

In Uruguay, things are looking bad for Fenix, as they concede another loss, 3-0 at Danubio. I don't have line-ups yet, but Cavallini must have played cause he picked up a yellow card in the second half. Fenix now the last team in the stands. 

 

In Colombia, Monsalve has lost his starting spot already. Don't know if he was the back-up goalkeeper. And in Spain, unsurprisingly Sam played for Depor 2. They are now second in the league without a realistic chance of becoming Champions. They will probably play promotion playoffs, but that road is extremely hard down there. 

 

 

Today it's Easter Monday, so let's get the balls rolling.

 

In Norway, Hirschfelds Valerenga will start the season in about an hour, he'll probably be back-up like last season.

 

In 1. Division, Simon Thomas got the nod for Strømmen. Let's hope this will be the first full season of starts for him. They are trailing 0-1 at home. 

 

Adam Straith wasn't in the squad for Frederikstad, line-up for Baerum (Cage) will be up in a few minutes.

 

In Sweden, Kenny Stamatopoulos was on the bench for AIK. And in the Superrettan, Sasa Plavsic had his first appearance, he entered the game in the 82nd minute. Frej lost at home (1-0).

Cage also not in the game-squad for Baerum.

 

Continuing with England.

 

In League Two, Hume came on the pitch after 61 minutes, Tranmere Rovers lost at home.

 

League One. Simeon Jackson started for Coventry and was subbed after 67 minutes. The game against Notts remained scoreless.

 

Marcus Haber saw some playing time late into the game. He came off the bench in the 89th minute as Crewe lost 1-0 at Chesterfield. 

 

Championship: For Huddersfield Town, Edgar got subbed into the game after 83 minutes. They won 2-1 at home.

If anyone is wondering why Straith is not in the lineup, according to Twitter he picked up a knee injury the second week of March and was projected to be out 10-12 weeks. I haven't read any updates on the subject on these forums but I could have missed it, so my apologies if that is the case.

Yeah, but that's not his Mortal Kombat name

 

Just to toss in an update on a player that hasn't been mentioned as much, Al-Shaibani's Le Puy currently are tied on top of Group F with 59 points.  They took back the top spot tie by managing a 2-2 draw over the weekend.  Haidar has started every game in net, and has the best goals against average in the league as far as I can tell.  His side will be hoping for promotion to 4th tier France.  There are 5 games to go in their season.  Something to keep tabs on.

You mean within 2 points out of 11th place in the summer league. They are 10 points clear of safety because they take the summer and winter leagues combined to relegate the last place team. 3 teams had a bad winter league putting them in relegation danger: Puma, Uruguay and Limon. Uruguay is having a solid summer league so the other two teams are fighting to stay in the top flight.

On Thursday Borjans NIS picked up another victory and a clean sheet as well. They're in the safe zone now. 

 

Borjan needs to be on the radar for a better club... even MLS.  His stats throughout his career are very impressive in terms of his record relative to the club he joins and the amount of clean sheets he picks up.

If he was a domestic player he'd be in MLS no doubt. Although I don't know why Montreal never moved for him, he's better than Bush and Kronberg, might be a bit too expensive for them though.
