2:1 halftime. Despite the "maimou" penalty, the Ionikos lead is deserved. Except for the goal we did not create anything else. Add to it our Swiss cheese defense and the loss in this game is deserved.

Penalty for Ionikos and 2:1.

1:1 by Canas

Nice header after Taylor cross.

Swiderski 1:0

Another pathetic display by the team so far.

If that happened we would be in 1st place, and would have avoided the playoff round.

Disagree. Punishment was harsh, specially the monetary fine, which as it stands is the heaviest fine ever levied in Greece. As for the game bans, I totally disagree with these bans as they punish the people that purchased season/game tickets (the majority of fans) and do not participate in violent actions. I am still waiting for a class action lawsuit in Greece by season ticket holders that are not able to attend games that they paid for. Don't care if Savvidis and co makes statements. I want them to get serious and eliminated the bad apples from attending the games. For starters people that do not have tickets should not be in the stadium. Also, thorough search of all fans entering the station. Also we will appeal the decision. I have a feeling the monetary fine will be reduced as a result.

The fines for the Aris game are in: 4 games without fans (Lamia, Tripoli, AEL, Panaitolikos) € 193,500 fine Additionally the Greek government punished PAOK with a 1 game ban for gates 4 and 4A due to non-compliance with COVID restrictions. This ban will be served in the game with Lamia for which PAOK is already banned anyway.

We finish in second place if PAOK wins, Slovan loses or ties PAOK ties, Slovan loses PAOK wins, Slovan wins (we run up the score to have better goal differential than Slovan) We fail to qualify if PAOK loses, Slovan loses* PAOK ties, Slovan ties PAOK wins, Slovan wins (we don't run up the score to have better goal differential than Slovan) * we can still qualify if that happens, but Slovan would need to lose by a bigger goal margin than us (2 goals or more) Example: we lose 1:0, Slovan loses 3:0)

Hopefully this is the game that will turn things around. Just ahead of the important European game. As long as we score, we should be able to win this one.

He better figure it out before the game with Lincoln. We might need to score 3 or more goals in that game.

There is no excuse for not winning this game 3:0 and securing the qualification to the next round from today.

Xeftiles. Very embarrasing.

Again WTF Akpom?

0:0 halftime What an incompetent team. Can't create anything let alone score. I don't know how we are going to run up the score against Lincoln next week.

WTF Akpom?

75:25 possession but nothing to show for it.

Game lineup:

Greek police has requested that the game be postponed. Same with the AEK - Panathinaikos game. Superleague claims they don't have available days to re-schedule the games.

Round of 16 results: Niki Volos - Panaitolikos Agrinio 0:1 Aris Thessaloniki - OFI 3:1 Levadeiakos - Olympiakos Piraeus 3:2 Panathinaikos Athens - NFC Volos 2:1 AEK Athens - Kifisia 4:0 AE LArisa - PAOK Thessaloniki 1:1 Aghios Nikolaos - Anagennisi Karditsa 0:1 PAS Lamia - Ionikos Nikaias 2:0

I m sure hash punishment is deserved here, but to accept the government coming in and tacking on another 1 or 2 game ban on top of it is a disgrace, when they did not do anything in other cases involving COVID restrictions that were broken. The problem with Gate 4 needs to be addressed by Savvidis and PAE PAOK. Half the people entering the gate don't buy tickets for the games and slip in for free without security doing anything. On top of that they fail to screen people from bringing in the various flares and explosive devices. Also it is very disturbing to see that somebody just unlocks the door at gate 4 allowing people to enter the field. Also, only four people were arrested on Sunday, while there were at least 30 people that entered the pitch. How hard would it be round up all of them? Here again we are talking inefficient security (company owned by Savvidis BTW) and the useless Greek police force.

PAOK is facing up to 9 or 10 games without fans and heavy monetary fines as a result of the fans storming the field last Sunday. For the flares thrown on the pitch, the various object thrown on the pitch, the fact that the game was interrupted the projected fines are 8 games. The fact that 3 of the 4 people arrested did not have a proof of being vaccinated against COVID, the minister of health threatened that he will punish PAOK with additional 1 or 2 game bans. Looks like the PAOK lawyers have their work cut out for them on Friday.

Apparently Lucescu is considering a 4-4-2 formation. Also it is certain that Ingason will get a start. Rodrigo got injured late in practice and that's why he is not on the squad, which kind of means we have no backup on LB position. With all that in mind my lineup for tomorrow: -------------- Zivkovic --------------- Lyratzis -- Ingason -- Mihaj -- Sidcley Murg - Esiti - Tsiggaras - El Kaddouri --- Swiderski ----------- Koutsias ---
