Irlandos

Kapino was sent off for bringing down an England player in his box in the 45'. Btw, the substitute goalkeeper saved the penalty.

...and finally it turns out that the new coach of Olympiakos is Leonardo Jardim. Again, does anyone know him?

Now they're talking about Domingos Palencia taking over Olympiakos. Anyone know him?

Now that Valverde will be leaving, rumours are starting to circulate over the identity of the new Olympiakos coach. The Daily Mail thinks that it will be Wigan boss Roberto Martinez.

The survey of football fans conducted by the U of Lefkosia shows that the most popular club in Cyprus is APOEL! 1. APOEL .......31.4% 2. Omonia......28.0% 3. Anorthosis..14.6% 4. Apollon Lim..8.2% 5. AEL.............4.9% 6. N. Salamina.3.1% 7. AEK Larn......2.6% 8. Olympiakos..1.8% Others.............5.4% From Sportaction (in Greek)

The NT defence did the same thing v. Belgium!Must be a new fad in Greece :P

Today 3/3/2012 at 19:30 GR, AEK will play against Aris in Thessaloniki. All the best of luck to our lads! :)

The win came against Eskisehirspor

Fanis Gekas and his team mates were in an accident as their team bus was hit by a train! Luckily, only two players and the driver were slightly hurt. Gekas is OK. --> From Hurriyet (in English)

His name would have been Gekidis if that were the case :P

INCREDIBLE!!! Fanis Gekas put THREE into the nets of Fenerbahce to lead Samsunspor to a 3-1 victory! --> From SportAction (in Greek)

A sometimes-good player who is undisciplined...sounds like another Refik Djebbour! I hope Olympiakos can handle two of those! :P On another note: Olympiakos have ended negotiations with Alexander Hleb. He will not be joining them.

Gekas scored another goal but Samsunspor lost 4-2 to Buyuksehir.

Well, Diogo scored yesterday and so did Abdoun. As for Ulsterman Roy Carroll, it looks like a done deal that he will be playing soon for Olympiakos --> From SportAction (in Greek)

Fanis Gekas scored twice (21' and 75') to lead Samsunspor in a 2-0 victory over Orduspor. :)

OFI goalkeeper Roy Carroll has been mentioned as a possible target of Olympiakos. Good choice? Bad choice? Temporary choice or permanent one? :huh:

It seems to me that every team Gekas moves to gets relegated!

That's a surprise! :o That would make him the first player from Greece to play in the Turkish league.

I guess Atromitos were up for this game in particular. :box: Better luck to our lads in the future! :)

Today's Superleague game is against Atromitos in a repeat of last year's Cup final. Hopefully, the result will be the same as the Cup final :rolleyes:

The Premiership is not a good place for Greek footballers: Dabizas and Giannakopoulos could only play part-time, Donis was largely unused and even Theo Zagorakis was marginalised by his coach.

The Greek press is saying the same thing

Correct!Plus, they should've sorted the playoffs well before they did, finished any appeals well before they did and resigned in disgrace! :tdown: Instead, we have Doxa fielding 5-6 players in a vital competitive game, AEK and Olympiakos Piraeus not having the foggiest idea which of six clubs they will be facing on opening day and a Greek club being thrown out of Europe in favour of... Differdange! :tdown:

Oly Volou have an ongoing appeal with EPO.UEFA will wait and see what EPO does and then will follow suit.
