RED SHERIFF

THEY WERE JAILED, OR CHARGED??......BUT TURKISH FA DID NOT PUNISH FENER AT ALL... Can you imagine the Greek uproar if Marinakis was jailed and UEFA banned OSFP yet EPO did nothing?

WOULD BE A HUGE SIGNING

you guys are hoping for a UEFA ban... you might as well close this thread down ...

I am not sure what you guys hope a UEFA ban will achieve?

they have small budgets accordingly and subsequently struggle to assemble decent sides..... this is no different to any second tier competition in any other European country...would the budget of teams 8-14 in Scotland or Croatia be bigger than Platanias?

I think the culture of the country is bizarre on these issues...and greeks are obsessed with conspiracies lack of self reflection and accountability always points to someone else who appears to be prospering as corrupt... there is a collective lack of sophistication in the 'notropia'

the essence of the article and his statements are based around 'his president told him so'....he is not saying Player X from club Y came to him and said Match A between Team 1 and Team 2 was fixed and that Player X was paid Z$$$ Amount... His President said a lot of things last year and back tracked many times....I have little time for Greek Presidents across the board.. Apollon were relegated because they had an abysmal start to the season and were behind the 8 ball very early on...The President misjudged the standard and requirements of GSL compared to B Ethniki, by Christmas when he made some signings and appointed Sanchez the horse had bolted and they were playing catch up..... The PAOK dramatic shoot out was the most exciting game of Greek football I have seen in 5 years....Appollon could have pinched it if they finished better...the 3 points may have been the savior..

at the end of the day you can legislate in the Constitution to strip Olympiakos of their existence and stipulate that no club wearing red and white named Olympiakos playing out of Piraeus can ever be re formed...and it wont make any difference to Greek football. In 10 years we will be talking about the same s%$#! and be in the same position.. As a society we are not cultured enough to appreciate nor understand professional modern sport...we have an Ottoman - Balkan mindset to authority, rules, establishment, and the way we view accountability and responsibility as a collective. We still blame others for the economic crisis (German ,Zionist plots etc)....we have no vision nor plans to move forward... Why doesn't the government simply punish individuals who conduct criminal acts at football matches....Serious jail time.. it's not that hard..

yes...and they had the opportunity to beat PAOK in that dramatic exciting shoot out match and the just could not finish...unfortunately for Apollon....but hey the President said 'it was all Olympiakos doing'??? and why would a game be fixed at 7-0 or 4-0??? does that not raise suspicion? would not a 1-0 or 2-0 suffice to 'destroy' the Apollon giant? So the only proof Sanchez has is that his President 'told him so'.... He would have been very entertained if he coached Panachaiki and his president was Kouyias.

in all fairness to greece with the exception of the horror 2 months late in 2014...we have been very good v minnows in the last 15 years...and had a very good win ratio

are you saying because greece lost to FI .and WSW beat the Arabs, we should not underestimate A Leagues competing against Euro Superpowers? :huh: :artist:

Ask yourself these simple questions? How many points would any A League team get in a CL group v Atletico,Juve, Arsenal,Marseille, Dortmund, etc.....Olympiakos regularly get 8,9,10 pts.... How many points would any A League club get in a Europa League group including Spurs , Besiktas, Partizan....?? How many A League clubs would beat German,Italian,Spanish, English, French opposition??? reasonably regularly?? this season alone we had 3 victories....A poor PAO drew away to PSV....A poor PAOK drew away to Fiorentina.....all this in what many say is the worst season IN GSL HISTORY... Tripoli eliminated Mainz??

is he better than Klaus? and they have enough options at RB.... WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SLIGHT MARGINS NOT WORTH THE FUSS..

syriza will not create one job....their ideology stands for the opposite...the mines farce and the Xiros saga prove what they stand for.

Italy is being swamped daily...something has to give.... Syriza's friendly policies don't help

it gets to a point where things need to move on.....business needs to be done... protests are not illegal.....but there is no method to the madness.... protests are different to disruptive and Destructive behaviour... we had 'protests' to release Xiros......I think that sums up 'Greeks rights to protest'.... you gotta wonder how a society that is obsessed with 'corrupt politicians'...then elects Beos to be Mayor of a major city..???????

so we are going to have a 36yo goalie in the EPL?

and who said leaving the euro will be a solution? and may come at a massive cost? We need to get back to basics. i don't have much faith in politicians or a society that can't stop a bunch of radicals occupying a University campus, or can't deal with protesters at a gold mine....

none of those 'ins' would improve your side

not sure why it posted 5 times.... @thrylos not sure how we can say Tsipra is playing it smart? these types of games can backfire big time... suppose EU call our bluff.....what will Russia do for us? imagine a grexit, then for a short period we jump in bed with the Russian gangsters... we have nowhere to turn...

that's all well and good... but what would make greece any different to Bulgaria/Romania/Albania/Fyrom/Serbia had we not joined the EU? We are a nation of the 'west' always will be...
