Mak suspended for three games, fined 200 eur We were also fined for flares in the same game. Apparently one more time and we'll have yet another crowd suspension. We're so screwed.

Here's the list of players for this game. Mistakidis with his first call up this season! Ρέι, Πασχαλάκης, Μάτος, Δεληγιαννίδης, Μαλεζάς, Κρέσπο, Βαρέλα, Μαουρίσιο, Σάκχοφ, Τσίμιροτ, Κάνιας, Κάμπος, Πέλκας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Λημνιός, Μυστακίδης, Κουλούρης, Δημητρίου On Platanias' side, they seem to have a few absences due to cards. Most relevant to us, we won't be seeing Korovesis.

Kakkos also coming back from loan, probably not because we actually want him. Zambrano also free to leave as of today. Won't be official until he finds a new team, it seems.

At least one site says we've already got a deal with him, so...there's that. I know I'll get flack for saying this, but I don't think we need another CB. It's ridiculous that Poungouras isn't playing in every low-priority game already. I know he's been "injured" for the past few days, but he should be starting vs teams like Platanias, Levadiakos, etc. How else are we going to develop players? This institutionalized fear we have of everyone who isn't 28 or older is draining our cash supply and leaving us with grown-ass men who can't kick a ball.

Yeah, he seemed pretty adamant about not coming back. Then again, if his career takes a complete nose dive, perhaps he'll come crawling back. We seem like just the kind of suckers that would accept a player back under those conditions.

I bet he eats his steak well done too.

I see no reason not to keep him for this season at least. We're only paying half his wages at the moment, after all. Sport24 reporting that Giannoulis will stay at Atromitos (good move, IMO). Instead, we're looking at Panionios' Safi for that position. My hope of us getting Stafylidis is apparently a non starter, as he'd cost too much even for a loan. They also say we're considering Hult (if he does become a free agent), though I really don't think he'd consider coming to us. At this point, he'll likely want to change countries altogether.

Is there anything you DO like, Yianko?

Brings Greeklish to a whole new level

We *might* have a few other absences in addition to the four Blackhawk mentioned, as Pashalakis and Matos are sick. Here's my lineup: --Rey-- --Matos--Varela--Malezas--Deligiannidis-- --Mauricio--Cimirot-- --Campos--Pelkas--Limnios-- --Koulouris-- I think this is still way more firepower than needed to beat these guys. Not much of a rotation here either; Deligiannidis being the only new face. I'm sure Crespo will be the one who actually plays, however.

WTF...you'd think that a team that averages only 1500 fans would try to drum up some more support.

Kind of surprises me how many active players we still have on that list

Wait, are the quotes from the Boston Thanatos literally being written in English? I don't follow the team in most social media (and definitely don't read comments) so had no idea. That's...pretty amazing.

If I were them, I'd take this opportunity to do a smaller-scale version of what AEK did. Promote youth players, get some free agents, play for midtable. They're not exactly in the relegation zone after all. And, of course, sell the big boys.

Aaaaand that's game! Less violent than I'd feared. F*** the guy with the laser pointer.

Limnios is limping, Campos about to come on (surely for him)

Red card to Mak. VERY stupid move by him. What was he thinking?

Prijogoal!!!!

Prijovic coming on for Koulouris

Koulouris converts the penalty, 3-0

PAO down to 10 men. Was that really a penalty? -edit- I see in the replay that it was a hand ball

I'm pretty sure Mauricio is injured. Shakhov should come on, IMO (though the original sub should have been Cimirot for Mauricio instead of Canas)

Canas coming off for Cimirot

Credit where it's due: perfectly done throw-in by Crespo as well

PELKAS YESSSS
