Well Olympiakos is being called by EPO disciplinary commission to a hearing concerning the trouble in the cup game with AEK. The fines are clearly spelled out in the rule books and include point deductions. The question is if gavro lawyers will find some loopholes to get a way with it. PAE PAOK came out and said that they will attend and take part in the court proceedings since any decisions will impact the team. The hearing is set for Thursday, but I predict delays due to bomb threats or any other means.

Sheriff, we were fortunate for the late goal vs Bosnia, but were unfortunate to eat the late goal vs Belgium. How fortunate were we missing a stud CB in Manolas vs Bosnia and now a top class CB/DM in Papadopoulos for our two most important matches (Belgium and 2nd leg Bosnia)? And now Samaris and Tax are out as well at the worst time. 3/4 of our big games were/are going to be played shorthanded. No luck here; quite the opposite. I say we have played well and are exactly where we belong.

I am all tsourekied out thanks to my pethera. She was busy baking all week. We did manage to overturn some insurmountable leads in return legs. One in 1985 comes to mind, and of all teams against Panathinaikos and also in the semifinal of the cup. We lost 2:0 in Athens, and then destroyed them 4:0 in Toumba. Here is the second goal of the game by Kostikos with a scissor kick after which he was 5 minutes unconscious.
