Ha ha what were the Asteras players complaining about ?

I think this is the first time in months we've been behind. Let's see how our boys respond.

Well it was coming. Letting them near our box with not enough pressure. Good finish.

Terrible link! But beggars and choosers and all that.

Overall the refereeing has been better this season than previous seasons. To hardcore Olympiacos fans the statement above would be considered farcical but they have spent so long now believing the world is flat that when someone shows them it's round they are perplexed. In their universe if one decision, ONE decision, goes for PAOK then Savvidis owns EPO and the league is rigged. As for AEK or PAOK getting favourable calls, yeah sure when most games you have 70% possession and you are in the opposition box 4 times for every 1 they are in yours then it's highly likely a referee will make a call in your favour. It's called probability. Add to that Greek refereeing [in]competence and yeah you get some bad calls. Is this surprising ? Maybe if you're dumb or so morally bankrupt you can't tell the difference then yeah. What can I say ...

Not only her arrogance but also that of the media. Maybe arrogance is not the right word. Delusion ? Does delusion and arrogance go hand in hand ? Seeing the polls in the media compared to the reality on the day was eye opening to say the least. "How could we have got it so wrong ?" Because your heads are up your asses you idiots. And now we have Trump ...

Hudson, no reason for Greece to negotiate. Greece shouldn't even bother going to any negotiations. If FYROM gets the name they wants, they are happy, the US, EU and NATO are happy and Greece loses. So only Greece loses and they want Greece to negotiate ? Doesn't make any sense to me. The argument that Greece has already lost this issue, I don't buy it. We've lost when we officially let them have it. Until then nothing is settled. The "optimum" response is for Greece to agree to disagree and politely state their terms ad infinitum (a) can't use word in your name and (b) rescind your revisionist history. Whatever crumbs the US, EU and NATO might flick at us off their table, they can have them. I'm not even sure why all of a sudden this has become important again. Has the geopolitical situation changed ?

Savvidis doesn't strike me as someone who will quit. He may lose this time. I expect we will lose this time. But I don't think the status quo will remain indefinitely. As each season goes by Olympiacos gets more desperate. Don't believe me ? Look at what they pulled with this game. THEY know it's a fraud. WE know it's a fraud. ALL of Greece knows it's a fraud and yet they did it. That shows how desperate and without shame they are. Their club is owned and run by weasels. They win this case but at much cost. My only regret is what Ivic did last season as that is used against us as validation for their behaviour. And if after all this we do win the league then it'll make it all the more sweeter. Run away little girls ha ha.

-2 next season, is that all ? I'm going to place a bet we win next season from now! They need to give us -9 to have any chance next season.

Is there a range of possible punishments ? Is it just -3 points and nothing else ?

Protocol, what protocol ? It's made up ad-hoc. This is SPARTA GREECE. As for Savvidis being silent, are you referring to the father or the son who normally can't shut up for more than 5 minutes ?

It's actually quite a fair result. It eliminates the advantage of PAOK being at home. So in effect our "punishment" is not having our fans and not playing in our home ground. Of course hard core Olympiacos fans would get confused by such a suggestion. Their thought process has been dumbed over the years. I don't understand why they are referred to as gavroi. I always thought of them more as weasels ha ha.

All that we can do is prosecute the case to the best of our ability. If the fix is in it's in but we can at least make it so that Olympiacos have to sink to lower and lower depths to get what they want. Ideally we win 7/7 and it forces them to require more court case intervention. Why does the word RAT FINKS come to mind ? Ha ha. It sounds like Aretopoulos has sold his soul and if so I agree with @Klaous that we should do everything in our power to make sure he doesn't referee again. If this goes their way it will set such a terrible precedent. I would think a replay at a neutral venue would be the best outcome and ironically would still be a positive for Olympiacos since they would avoid the ZOUGLA that so scares them. What a bunch of pussies ha ha.

The fix is in paidia. We need DENNY CRANE.

The goal that Larisa conceded was entirely their fault. You can't all just stop because you think you deserve or are going to get a free kick. The penalty for Larisa, no way that is a penalty. I can only assume the referee wanted to even up the score after the "mistake" he made that lead to AEK's first goal.

Beware what you wish for! But that is from a bygone era when each team was only allowed 3 non Greek players in the squad. The Bosman ruling, EU and CL monies has changed the landscape permanently.

That's the thing, Lucescu said he doesn't like playing with a 6. And it makes sense in Greece for 90% of games. But in Europe if we don't have a solid εξάρι I think we could get exposed.

Agree about Simoes. He is key to their midfield. Holds everything together. Very very good player. AEK have been very unfortunate with injuries to their midfield this season with Mandalos and also Johansson sustaining season ending injuries.

I've always loved your photos of birds and not just the avian kind.

I smack those rolls into my head every morning while chanting PAOK ole PAOK ole ole ole. You get used to the pain.

Η αλήθεια είναι οτι εμείς είμασταν βλάκες και ο “Θρύλος” είταν χεσμένοι κώτες. Οπως πέρυσι εμείς με τον Ιβιτς. Τώρα θα δίξει πραγματικά αν ο κ. Σαββίδης εχει αγοράσει την ΕΠΟ η όχι. Παλιά θα είχαμε φάει κάτι πσολάρες κρεμαστές. Ακουσα οτι η ΑΕΚ θέλει διάκοπη. Ας πάνε για διακοπές στην Μήκονος. Ολοι για τον συμφέρον τους.

That's the thing man. If crazy s%$#! went down like fires, fans storming the pitch, players getting bashed etc. then everyone (or at least normal people) would understand why the game was abandoned. But the way it went down (or should I say Garcia went down) that was the big steaming pile of crap. Play the game, arrest the one person (ONE person !!) who threw the cash register roll. Prosecute the imbecile. Ban him from attending any future games. Instead a whole city is indicted. But hey, anything that feeds peoples preconceptions.

Dunno man, maybe we were afraid we would lose.

That's when they were working on how to "touch up" Garcia ... just right.

I would add to that make them play in skirts.
