After about a week, we’re up and running again.

As you could probably tell, there was no access to the site these past few days, due to changes in the site’s hosting and pertaining issues.

The current layout may be a little rough around the edges, which will be corrected in the following days.

In the meantime, business as usual. At least when it comes to the writing.

Thank you for your patience.

There will be changes to this blog, both the technical and the aesthetic part.

Hence, the site might be offline in the upcoming days, as I’m working on a new setup. With some help.

Hopefully I will have some material for you by the end of the Eurobasket QFs.

Thank you for your patience.

 

The new and improved version of the site

Some of the better known features, such as multilingual posts are here to stay, this time with a more comprehensive layout, a cleaner look, and most important of all, a brand new name. 

Since this is a blog written by someone who spends most of her time around a pitch, closer to the sidelines, and since blogging lets me take all of you there with me… Sideline it is. 

It’s an absolute pleasure (and an occasional torturous wifi moment, if we’re being honest), to bring anyone to the sidelines of a sporting event, willing to take a look, and potentially  see a match or a team from a slightly different angle than expected.

As always, your support through likes, shares and follows means a lot, so I thank you. 

Now buckle up, people. We’re just getting started.


Sa ponosom vam predstavljam novu verziju bloga

Sve je novo, počevši od imena, do izgleda. Prepoznatljivi deo višejezičnih tekstova ostaje, iz dobro poznatih razloga. Kako bi što više čitalaca imalo prilike da razume tekst i tako pogleda sportski događaj iz još neke perspektive.

Kao što znate, ovaj blog pišem najčešće iz ugla blizu aut-linije, pa je bilo i logično da stranicu preimenujem shodno tome. Sideline je linija auta. Drugačije rečeno, prostor najbliži samom terenu.

Imati mogućnost, da prenesem makar deo doživljaja sa neke utakmice čitaocima iz udaljenih delova sveta, onima koji o srpskom sportu znaju malo, ili ljudima koji prosto nisu imali vremena da odu na neki od mečeva, fenomenalan je osećaj i zahvalna sam vam na pažnji koju posvećujete sadržajima ovog bloga.

U budućnosti se nadam mnogo većim pričama i bližem pogledu na stvari, koji ćemo deliti zajedno. Ne mrdajte, na dobrom smo putu. 🙂

This weekend, a lot is going to change. And I can’t wait to share it with all of you. Stay tuned. 

Nate Wolters signs for Red Star and a Euroleague debut

Zvezda je tokom prethodnog dana zvanično dovela novog stranca. Nejt Volters doputovao je večeras u Beograd, i na aerodromu okupljene novinare pozdravio u papučama, pre odlaska na upoznavanje sa novim saigračima, te standardnih pregleda koji ga čekaju ujutru.

Dolazak novog beka u redove ekipe Dejana Radonjića, trebalo bi da skine deo tereta sa linije napada, ali se još postavlja pitanje gde je centar. Tokom prethodnih sezona, Zvezda se snažno oslanjala na centarsku liniju koju su u glavnim ulogama činili Marjanović i Cirbes, te brojni epizodni likovi, o kojima bi moglo da se napiše odvojeno poglavlje.
