Playing it in Belgrade would be hilarious (and I would love it). A shame it'll never happen.

No complaints here!

Lucescu is losing his mind on the on-the-field interview hahaha

Hahaha I enjoy their culture of surfing and dangerous animals!

Pfft Konstantelias does one back pass and everyone loses their minds. MURG IS A GODDAMN BALLERINA OUT THERE!!!!!

Samatta and Vieirinha being out, means our team will be better soooooo....

The fan ban has been overturned, no shock. Saw the statement from the team on instagram earlier - here it is as well: https://inpaok.com/795288/zitaei-exigiseis-apo-efeseon-kai-epo-o-paok/

Isn't this team the hipsters' choice? Either way:

I would love it if the hearing was scheduled for AFTER the game, but I'm sure they already have an appeal date scheduled...

Very nice. He will certainly get time in the next game.

Let's hope it's the nadir

A real CF is a huge need. Expect to see Brandon Thomas come on, along with the other usual suspects (Schwab, Taison). Though not before the 60th minute, because that's not Razvan's style!

Anyway: you're know you're in for a good time when your team gets to the opposing side's box, then decides to spend the next two minutes slowly passing backwards, and nearly scoring on themselves in the process.

Yeah, but it still shows up on my login for EON, which is what leads to my consternation

Seeing this game as geoblocked on EON (net tv plus). Very confusing... -edit- I'm guessing that's because this has a connection to cosmote. But since Cosmote isn't an option on net tv plus, it makes me wonder why it even shows up as a potential option!

Despodov gets the start

Did the rules for this kind of stuff change? It seems each time this happens, the point deduction is different (didn't we get -4? for one of these?). I'm sure the appeal will result in a lessened penalty. But I hope the home fan ban will be upheld ?

PAOK should offer this kid some tickets for our return leg.

I can't find Dutch Eagle's last post on the topic of yellows, so I figure this is a good place to post this - Baba Rahman will be sitting out for Panaitolikos, and Kedziora will miss Panserraikos. Don't be shocked if that Panserraikos game gets flipped to be a home one for us, similar to what happened vs Aris.

Agreed on Konstantelias. Great that he's getting into these positions (the commentator on the service I was using called him Zidane-like at one point, hahaha) - but that can only take you so far when you don't score on those chances. I guess Frankfurt losing their goalie for a game meant little, considering their result. Back in Lucescu's first stint with the club, one of the best things about the team is that they had a "never say die" attitude. When everyone is firing on all cylinders, it's truly a sight to behold. Btw: Samatta probably not good enough. I can see us moving on without him next year.

Oooh that makes sense. Especially considering when I glanced through the games I couldn't identify any Romanian teams... But yes I think we'd basically need to have, what, three or four teams make it into the knockouts? Very tall order.

Rough day in Europe today, but at least we gained a few vs the #10 league (thanks again my sweet PAOK, luv u baby). I can't believe Romania still has all teams in the comps. I saw a pair of Serbian teams got slammed today, which is also great for us. 10 Scotland 9.750 8.500 7.900 3.500 3.000 32.650 3/ 5 11 Austria 5.800 6.700 10.400 4.900 3.200 31.000 3/ 5 12 Switzerland 6.400 5.125 7.750 8.500 3.000 30.775 3/ 5 13 Czech Republic 2.500 6.600 6.700 6.750 5.750 28.300 3/ 4 14 Denmark 5.125 4.125 7.800 5.900 5.250 28.200 2/ 4 15 Norway 3.750 6.500 7.625 5.750 4.250 27.875 2/ 4 16 Serbia 6.000 5.500 9.500 5.375 1.400 27.775 3/ 5 17 Ukraine 7.200 6.800 4.200 5.700 2.700 26.600 2/ 5 18 Israel 2.375 7.000 6.750 6.250 4.000 26.375 2/ 4 19 Greece 4.900 5.100 8.000 2.125 6.000 26.125 4/ 5 20 Poland 2.125 4.000 4.625 7.750 5.125 23.625 2/ 4 21 Croatia 4.375 5.900 6.000 3.375 3.375 23.025 1/ 4 22 Cyprus 5.125 4.000 4.125 5.100 3.500 21.850 1/ 4 23 Sweden 5.750 2.500 5.125 6.250 1.875 21.500 1/ 4 24 Romania 5.875 3.750 2.250 6.250 3.250 21.375 4 25 Hungary 4.500 4.250 2.750 5.875 3.250 20.625 1/ 4

Think he heard you, which is why he gave it to our newest starlet for the 2-1?

HELL YEAH BROTHERRRR

It's not the worst thing that the EL has much better competition than before. I do think our goal should be to win it and not need that slot, though. I.e.,: win the league too. I think we have a pretty deep bench (finally), so we should be able to make it through the first stages without a ton of trouble here. Focus on Europe and the league, but expect a deep run here regardless.
