Blackhawk

Every Sunday at 10 PM our local Public TV station used to show the Monty Python's Flying Circus episodes. I would not miss a single episode. I still have the complete series on DVD and watch them once in a while. Big fan of the Python's.

The quartefinal draw is tomorrow. The following teams are in the draw: PAOK Atromitos Olympiakos Panathinaikos Aris Lamia Panaitolikos winner of AEK/Tripoli I would like to see PAOK - Aris and Olympiakos - AEK or Panathinaikos, however we know that will never happen. I will even predict that none of the big 4 will not play against each other.

Apparently a big Turkish firm has approached PAOK for the naming rights of the new Toumba Stadium:

You are probably right, but Mauricio was poor in his last game and tomorrow Lamia will play dirty, so who better to scare them off than the animal.

My lineup: -------------------- Zivkovic ------------------------ Matos - Ingason - Varela - Giannoulis Limnios --- Misic ---- Esiti --- Lambrou ---------------------- Pelkas ------------------------ ------------------- Swiderski -----------------------

At that point in time Klaus was scoring, but not on the football pitch.

Not even Steven Spielberg could not come up with such conspiracy theories. Fascinating reading.

Rodrigo Rey is now on loan with Argentinian team Godoy Cruz for 6 months. Buyout clause is not part of the deal as Rey explained in an interview with Argentinian media:

Come to Chicago and I will introduce you to the great Mitsara.

I am sure there will be changes in midfield as opposed to the game against Tripoli. The Mauricio/ Augusto duo was poor. I expect Misic to go back to his previous position and would not be surprised to see Esiti start next to him.

If there is any Greek that can break the 2:30 mark it's her. She almost broke the Greek record today and that was only her second marathon.

Agreed and it could be in the next game on Thursday against the very dangerous Lamia. At least Giannoulis will be back.

Nikolaos Skarvelis breaks the Greek indoor record in shot put with a throw of 20.38 meters during a meet in Iowa.

But not enough to secure a spot in the Olympics. She needs to run under 2:30

The result is what counts. Without VAR two of the goals in the game would not have counted, but it sure was annoying with all these constant interruptions. I am now watching the friendly game at Karaiskakis.

Now it should be 15 extra minutes. 3:1

Akpom in for Swiderski. With all these VAR interruptions there should be at least 10 min extra time.

Still red card to Tripoli player.

Ruled the foul was outside box.

Penalty

Pelkas credited with the goal while he was being subbed by Lambrou.

2:0 thanks to VAR.

Mauricio, Augusto, Pelkas non-existant in this game.
