Blackhawk Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Panionios failed to get a Superleague license for next season and will start with a -6 points just like Panathinaikos did last season. Panathinaikos and Panaitolikos also had question marks but got away with monetary fines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Some players are just stupid. In the relegation/promotion playoff game between OFI and Platanias the OFi player scores to give OFI a 2:1 lead and then takes his jersey off celebrating, forgetting that he already had a yellow card. Well he got a second one and had to leave the game. The ref is PAOK's "favorite" Kominis who in first half gave OFI a "maimou" penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 OFI wins the game 3:2 and will play in Superleague 1 next season. The winning goal was score in the 96th minute of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athens4 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Just watched the highlights. The first ridiculous thing is that although they are both from Crete, there were no away fans in any of the games. Stupid. Second of all, Kominis should be hung out to dry. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 The 2019-2020 Superleague 1 will kick off on August 24, 2019. It was also decided that there will be playoffs to determine the champion and European sports as well as play-out for deciding relegation. The playoffs will be between teams that will finish in spots 1-6 after the regular season (28 rounds) and will consist of additional 10 rounds of games. The points from the regular season will remain and will be counted in the final standings. The play-out will be between teams 7-14 and it remains to be decided in what form they will take place. Also as far as the Greek Cup is concerned, the preliminary decision is that there will no longer be group stage matches and until the Round of 16 there will be just a single game played. Superleague 1 teams will not enter the competition until the Round of 16. The final will be a single game in a neutral venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens4 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 And that ladies and gentlemen, will be the end of me watching the Greek league. It will be just the cup and Europe for me going forward. After years they finally get rid of the play offs only to bring them back now that the league is getting more competitive. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphonse Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 We can thank Georgios Vasiliadis for this... It was decided and rightly so, to scrap playoffs 2 seasons ago and now they are brought back in and be even more games ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 You can blame Superleague for that because they don't have the balls to tell the politicians to mind their own business. What business does the government have telling Superleague how many teams should be playing in their own competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 That's just great. I suppose Olympiacos will be happy with the play-off system. Will be curious to see what each of the clubs "officially" has to say about the play-off system. As for the Cup Groups being eliminated, I was one of the few on this forum that liked this system. It wasn't meant to benefit the big clubs. It was meant to give the small teams some extra interest and a big game where they can cash in some dollars and just have some interest.

I don’t get how FIFA is looking over our incompetent Fed when Vasiliadis, part of the Government is making all the calls... I thought there were some regulations about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Maybe we should give the title to Olympiakos ? https://www.contra.gr/podosfairo/olympiakos-megalytero-antipalo-paok-eayto.7453030.html?utm_source=Sport24&utm_medium=BestofNetwork_home&utm_campaign=24MediaWidget&utm_term=Pos4 It's articles like this you wonder if the author was having a slow day or knows nothing about football. Possibly both. I saw Olympiakos kakare their pantelonia in Toumba and play like little girls. Nothing about that in the article. Or the fact that Olympiakos is a one man team. Heaven forbid if Fortounis gets injured or sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunfermlineAthleticPAOK Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Looking forward to hearing PAOK's official view on this. I can understand a split, so the top half play each other and bottom half play each other for a final round robin set of games to bring up the fixture count and add a bit more excitement but to have playoffs for the championship and the European positions is a shockingly bad idea.

Blackhawk Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 PAOK's accepted and voted for the new system, as the other options were even worse. As far as I know PAOK was always for a 16-team league without playoffs/outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Doesn't seem bad to me. I like that internationally competing teams get a bye, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Step in right direction. The only thing I would like to see is all the teams starting the competition from Round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soprano76 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I'd prefer the Super League teams coming in earlier in the comp and lowest ranked team getting the home fixture until the quarters or semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens4 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The way the German cup or FA cup is planned is exactly how every cup should be. I don't understand why it is so hard to emulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
