  1. Are you referring to MyTV via PC or something different?

    It's Kodi ( formerly xmbc) with the Hellenic TV add on, it's free, it's got about 60 odd channels from Greece, a Greek movie section that has thousands listed from decade (60s, 70s, 80s etc) a TV show section which looks like it almost has every Greek show made in alphabetical order, kids section, documentaries etc. you have other add ons that have almost every movie and TV show ever made on demand + thousands of live channels, epl, Bundesliga etc

    Basically it has everything you could want except live Greek super league, I saw the nova catch up channel but the person in the shop didn't click into it which is why I asked about it.

  3. The whole thing....I paid 20 euros to try it and it only has the national channels like mega,ant1, etc....

    I only saw a demonstration of it in a shop, seemed to have thousands of Greek movies and TV shows on demand, but very little in way of Greek sport.

    Surely some sort of add on has to exist that shows live Greek games, doesn't need to be nova, hell it can be in foreign commentary lol, just wanna watch a game.

  4. Unfortunately we lost the grand final 3-1 after extra time today, we were outplayed for most of the game, we copped a red card in the 85th minute and that pretty much killed us off as we tried to hang on in extra time but couldn't go with them, great atmosphere though and shame everyone bar the 100-150 Bentleigh fans went home disappointed.

    Must regroup quickly as we have a national playoff quarter final at home against Tasmanias Olympia warriors next Saturday afternoon, this is the tournament we have been targeting to win to qualify directly for next years Ffa cup, after losing today we really need to win this, won't be easy as west Adelaide will most likely await if we get through to the semis and then I'd assume Blacktown who are probably favourites for it.

  5. Crazy scenes last night, 1-1 after normal time, pascoe vale goes ahead 1-2 in extra time, we peg it back to 2-2 and then we scored the winner in the 119th minute with a corner goal that brings back memories of tsiartas to dellas in the euro semis, place went bonkers. I'll try put the highlights up soon.

    We take on bentleigh in the grand final next Sunday at 3pm, it will be at lakeside so we have home field advantage, get out to the game, spread the word to anyone you know, it's a grand final all old school fans should be there, hopefully a huge crowd.

  6. Beat northcote 3-0 and secured back to back top spot finishes in front of a very healthy crowd today.

    We have the bye next week and advance straight to a home semi final, it's the m*****a A league finals system so no double chances.

    Even more importantly we have qualified for the national playoffs, we will be hosting the Tasmanian champions in the quarter final in a few weeks time, if we win this tournament against the other states premier league champions we will automatically qualify for next years FFA cup.

    On a sour note we are all waiting on the news of our star striker milos lujic who appeared to injure himself badly late in the game, fingers crossed he will be ok.

  7. Avondale 0-7 South

    Played on a disgraceful cow paddock in Avondale, ball bobbling everywhere, uneven ground, in general pathetic facilities, took south a good 10-15 minutes to realise that trying to play anything resembling football on this ground would be a waste of time, started playing direct, they scored 2 comical own goals and the floodgates opened soon after, after they dropped off and gave up south started bringing out the party tricks as the goals kept flowing, sad to see massimo murdocha reduced to playing for a club like that, he was quality but one player can't do much.

    Due to this flogging if south win the last 2 games, home against Hume on Wednesday and northcote home again on Sunday we will finish top on goal difference and quality for the national playoffs, hopefully some good crowds.

  8. I was in the city that day doing some shopping and saw it first hand, no matter what it was it deserved to be a big story, they turned Bourke st into a warzone, throwing chairs and pretty much anything else they could get their hands on. It's easily the worst brawl I've ever seen in relation to sport. While the media did play it up, if it was one of the wog clubs involved they would have been calling for expulsion from the league like they use to, but as I said it's really the same type of fans, you could tell a large portion of the wanderers fans were cros and Arabs, you could tell a lot of the MV fans were greeks as well I even recognised a few of them, the team names are different but the trouble makers are of the same ilk.

  9. What I'm arguing is that 90% of the time it has nothing do to with ethnic rivalry! more so the fact that these people are just pure trouble makers! and yes the Turks were bad in my juniors days! I recall once a Turk father went onto the field and belted his son in front of everyone for no reason, the cros don't discriminate against nationality, they don't care if youre Serb, greek, Aussie or Ugandan..if you get up close to them they are keen for a fight! it's part of their dna. Let's be honest a lot of these trouble makers in the A league are cut from the same cloth, mostly trouble making ethnic teens, with the introduction of west Sydney we have added Arabs to the trouble making list as well.

    Violence is arguably worse now, instead it's been turned into some sort of state of origin defend your place battleground, I've been in the city so many times before a big melbourne victory game and the police presence and general tension outside the ground is pretty extreme, because these clubs weren't created by migrants they get a free kick to basically do whatever they want.

  10. The cros are very hot headed and in many ways still consider themselves to be the equivalent of the Cro national team, most of their current players even now are cros. They're a lot more tame now compared to what they use to be but if you try mess with them they belt you, where as far as I've been told the hellas supporters up on the Gold Coast last week were called "a bunch of wogs" and other derogatory terms by these gold coast bogans and just let it go, it would have been a blood bath if they pulled that stunt with the cros. That's the difference we are not motivated by friction, we just wanna see our team play/ win and play the the highest possible level. Others are motivated by tension and showing off how tough they are, the cros do, and those A league flogs are probably the worst overall. Can't say I've ever experienced any problems with Turks and Albanians locally, the skops are probably the biggest scum in terms of trouble, no doubt for them the A league was a dream come true as they saw the demise of the strong greek backed clubs as a result of it. The cros on the other hand are just plain lunatics and would cause trouble against anyone, but they aren't motivated by ethnicity unless against Serbs, the cros are very similar to the young flogs that attend the a league, they will look for any excuse to misbehave if it's available to them.

    Anyhow south won tonight 4-2 against Port melbourne, entertaining game and great performance, top spot within sight.

  11. The older generation is basically already gone, younger fans outnumber greek immigrants at hellas games these days, the ethnic issue has very little relevance today due to the fact that the supporter bases are now 2nd and 3rd generation and don't have the same hardcore edge they once had to them, the rivalries though are historic and will always remain. Hellas supporters now love to brag about the superior head to head record against Heidelberg ( only lost once to them in the last 5 years), these are pure football rivalries.

    Let's not forget the ethnic rivalries at national level died in 1992 when Preston were relegated, the Nsl had become ethnic rivalry free over a decade before it ended. The rest was all spin, in any case all the violent thugs got to the a league now anyway...but that's fine because they are defending the city they live in or something so that's acceptable violence.

    The A league die hards carry on like they single handedly invented mainstream soccer, yet my main memories of the 90s was going to bob jane to watch hellas play Perth, Brisbane strikers, northern spirit, parramatta power, Wollongong wolves, carlton etc, surprise surprise no trouble use to occur at these games, yet nowadays a contest between a Sydney and melbourne team can turn the streets into a battleground, I've seen this first hand when the wanderers thugs decided to trash the melbourne cbd on a Saturday afternoon. These same people have the nerve to claim that it's too dangerous for my club to be in the top flight again, a lot of greeks even say this, it's all agenda driven.

  12. I don't think oakleigh have a good history period, as far as I know they have never won anything, port melbourne and bentleigh use to be the local powerhouse clubs back in the day, until Heidelberg joined them in the mid 90s, oakleigh are arrogant but they don't have the history of success to back it, they haven't earnt the right to be arrogant and therefore everyone thinks they're a bunch of flogs, springvale aris achieved more last year than oakleigh in it's entire history. The only good thing oakleigh did was choose to play home games on a Friday night, they get a lot of the casual greeks in the area to attend games, but unless hellas plays there the games have no atmosphere, it's just a social outing where people go to gossip and catch up away from the caf?s, but this is a Friday night thing, when they play the occasional Sunday home game they get no more than 50 people.

    Heidelberg related story, knew a girl there who I was relatively close with about 10 years ago, parents from florina, she portrayed this full on greek image, attended all Heidelberg games and even painted her face blue and white for the Greece v australia match in 2006, anyhow we lost touch, she married a skop a few years later, I clicked on her fb page recently and much to my shock she now claims to be from "Lerin Aegean Macedonia" and her page is full of skop propaganda/anti greek...I was in such disbelief I had to go lay down hahahaha.
