Blackhawk Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 With four rounds of regular season Superleague games left, PAOk has not secured a spot in the playoffs. Complicating things are the points deduction as a result of the abandoned Greek Cup match against Olympiakos. With that in mind let's see the remaining schedule among the teams that are in the running for a playoff spot: STANDINGS AFTER ROUND 26 2. AEK 53 3. PAO 45 4. PAOK - 41 5. Panionios - 40 ----------------------- 6. Tripoli - 34 7. PAS Giannina 34 8. Levadeiakos 32 9. Platanias 32 ROUND 27 Xanthi - Levadeiakos Veroa - Platanias PAO - Iraklis Panaitolikos - AEK PAOK - Kalloni Tripoli - Olympiakos PAS Giannina - Panionios ROUND 28 Iraklis - Tripoli Kalloni - AEK Levadeiakos - PAS Giannina PAO - Veroia Panionios - PAOK Platanias - Xanthi ROUND 29 Tripoli - PAO PAOK - Levadeiakos AEK - Panionios PAS Giannina - Platanias ROUND 30 Xanthi - PAS Giannina Tripoli - Veroia Levadeiakos - AEK PAO - Panthrakikos Platanias - PAOK Panionios - Atromitos If the playoffs tarted today, the initial standings would be: 1. AEK 3 2. PAO 1 3. PAOK 0 4. Panionios 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm predicting we'll make it in to the playoffs, and will end up fourth overall (third place in the playoffs). You heard it here first, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 53-40 = 13, divided by 5 is 2.6 (rounding up to 3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Apparently they don't know the rules, because 53-40 = 13 13:5 = 2.6 (rounded up to 3) and 45-40 = 5 5:5 = 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 I like our chances for making the playoffs. The games we have left are against teams that we can beat, as long as we play like we did against Panaitolikos. Even if we get 6 points deducted, I think we are in. We should easily win our two home games, and then we have an away game against Panionios, which we should try not to lose. Our last game is against Platanias, and they will most likely be out any chances for the playoffs, so it might be a meaningless game for them. If it wasn't for the apparent points deductions, we would most likely increase our distance from the 5th place and actually gained a point for the playoff standings. That might still happen if Panionios does not get a license to play in the playoffs and we have at least a 3 point difference from the 6th placed team.

Original Sydney Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Have they said when a decision will be made in regards to what happened at the kypello? Seems like they are dragging it on so they can deduct points so PAOK can miss the playoffs..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Have they said when a decision will be made in regards to what happened at the kypello? Seems like they are dragging it on so they can deduct points so PAOK can miss the playoffs..... The hearing is supposed to be this Thursday. That is if the lawyers decide to end their strike. If not it is anybody's guess when that will happen. Let's not also forget that there is a decision that has to be made about AEK and the events in the Atromitos game, and that game was played before the PAOK-Olympiakos game.

Original Sydney Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Blackhawk agree with AEK and Atromitos and the fact a decision needs to be made there also, just hope they do it sooner rather than later as currently it leaves you guys in the air not knowing how many points you will lose and if it affects you playing in the playoffs.....

Nea Bafra Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Amateur stuff - again, in a normal federation this would have been pulled up and people put on notice to get their acts together but in Greece its same old. This is why when I think the FFA and A-League administration are crap and need to be replaced I bite my tongue and thank my stars I don't follow two leagues with Greece's problems.

pash Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 With the cup being abandoned, does anyone know what the final allocation of teams for CL and EL will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Good question pash wonder what they'll do with that now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Logically (but we are talking about Greece) EPO will not see our spot wasted, therefor:#2 Q3 CL#3 instead of cupwinner: Q3 EL (or GS EL if EL is won by a club that has not qualified for CL via its league#4 and #5 stays the same.

pash Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Assuming #3 takes the allocation from the cup, doesn't the above still miss the extra spot? We would still get two slots in the Q3 EL; it would just give both #3 and #4 that slot (and #5 getting Q2). Wouldn't that also mean we have one more team that's not in the playoffs getting a slot as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) You are right, Pash! So early in the Hub and you are already that bright. Bravo! I wrote something else than I was thinking. or better: I was already presuming that one of the Play-off candidates would win the cup or the Gavs would win it so that al participants are sure of European action next year. In that case #5 gets Q2 instead of nothing. :1eye: Edited March 16, 2016 by Dutch Eagle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 AEK lost vs Panaitolikos today, 0-1. A win for us vs Kalloni will bring our points difference to 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Eagle Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yes. It still bothers me though that we (might) get a deduction of points in the league for riots in the cup. I could live with an expulsion from the cup but not a deduction of points in the SL like last year as they are two very different things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Wasn't our deduction of points in the playoffs from two years ago from the exact same thing? Cup crowd troubles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaous Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Wasn't our deduction of points in the playoffs from two years ago from the exact same thing? Cup crowd troubles? Yeah, the EPO didn't like our little fish joke on the bench. So they took us 3 points in the playoffs which would be 15 points in the regular season. Ridiculous move, but chances are that they delay the judgement to do the same again. However, I'm sure we make it to the playoffs and secure the second spot, if not even the first place. We proofed that we can beat PAO and AEK seems to be out of it's luck finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaous Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Might be useful at the end of the normal season. We will see. Should be even more useful if Giannina wins tomorrow against Panionios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 The timing of the points deduction was unjust but also very convenient for PAO. Savvidis was too busy playing cuddly bears with Alafouzos to notice he was getting fleeced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
