Blackhawk

Yes, March 16 after Olympiakos complained and requested presence of official from the 4 teams involved. I guess they will all be touching the balls to make sure they are the same temperature.

Vasiliou failed in the semis finishing 5th with 53.31.

Reports are that Jaba and Colak loans are done deal and will be announced soon. I understand Jaba can be loaned due to Brazil's transfer period that started in March. Does Sweden have a different transfer window from the rest of Europe so the Colak loan can go through? - Jaba is joining Atletico Club Goianiense until the end of 2021 on loan basis, with the Brazilian team paying half of his contract. There is no buyout option. - Colak will be loaned to Malmo FF and the deal includes a buyout option which is set at 3.3 mil Euro!!!

Here is the goal that was gifted to Olympiakos in order to qualify in the Greek Cup:

Yesterday was the deadline for Olympiakos to take the EPO Appeals Court ruling that there is no ownership of Xanthi by Ivan Savvidis to CAS. As expected they chickened out by failing to go to the international court, since they had no chance of ever proving their allegations since they were all just manufactured by them.

Lamia - PAOK 1:1, 2:5 PAO - Giannina 1:2, 1:2 Volos - AEK 1:0, 2:4 Aris - Olympiakos 1:1, 1:2 Semi draw on March 19.

What a gift by the "O" Aris goalie. basically gave Olympiakos the qualification to the semis. Olympiakos did not create a single chance in the game, but scored the goal that they needed.

Rumor is that Jaba will be loaned to Brazilian team Atletico Club Goianiense. The Brazilian transfer period started March 1st, so this might not be just a rumor. Other fake news is that Malmo FF is interested in Colak.

Today's results: Lamia - PAOK 1:1, 2:5 PAO - Giannina 1:2, 1:2 Tomorrow's games: Volos - AEK (2:4) Aris - Olympiakos (1:2) Would really be nice to see Aris and Volos in the semis, but I doubt if there will any other surprises. Everyone will now want to play with Giannina in the semis.

1:1 final. Boring game. At least no one got injured.

I would make this the last game for Lambrou in PAOK jersey.

Ninua 0:1

Just noticed Vrakas is not even in the squad. Replace him with Lambrou, however he has already exhausted all the second chances that I would have given him.

There is no way Krmencik will start. The only action he will get if by any miracle we are losing 2:0 at halftime. if that is the case I see Garcia throwing all the other big names as well. I would have liked to see the youngster Talichmanidis in goal, but I have a feeling he wants to use Paschalakis in the game against Aris so he will start him tomorrow as well to get in the rhythm. Lineup I would use: ---------- Talichmanidis ------------ Lyratzis - Ingason - Crespo - Pereira ----- Tsiggaras ---- Schwab --------- Murg ----- Kagawa -------- Vrakas ----------- Swiderski -------------- If the scoreline goes as planned, the subs would be Michailidis, Rahman, Koutsias, Giaksis, Ninua

We are in the rebuilding process which started at the beginning of this season. Going back to Lucescu who basically deserted the team would be a step backward. since we decided to go with Garcia we need to stick with him and let him create his own team (part of rebuilding). Garcia should be evaluated at the end of the 2021-2022 season.

Tripoli with two shots on goal wins the game. Had the "offside" goal counted it would have been a different game.

Zivko 2:1

More likely for Tripoli to score 3rd one than us scoring.

2:0

Game wwe should be winning we are losing at halftime. Lambrou totally useless on the left wing. Hopefully Tzolis can come in for the second half.

And just like that 1:0

Did not look like offside to me.

Starting lineup

Dropped to 20th place after yesterday. Mathematically we can still reach 15 place if Olympiakos reaches the semis and manages 4 wins and 3 ties along the way.
