It's official. Ninua signed with PAOK for 4 years. If we are going to loan him out it will be in December or next season after seeing what he can do.

I wonder if a VPN will be the solution for us to watch it on PAOK TV.

Apparently since it is a single game, UEFA has ruled that the home team can only sell the TV rights domestically and the visiting team has the international rights to the rest of the world. This means that PAOK TV (if they will carry the game) can only show it in Greece and Besiktas can sell the rights to anybody else.

That's not confirmed 100% yet, but it would be great if it was on PAOK TV. If it ends up on PAOK TV, then PAOK should not sell the rights to any other country. Let everybody pay PAOK TV to see the game. We could make some good money just from subscriptions sold to Turkish fans. For this to work though they would need to keep the hacked and pirated streams to a minimum.

Overall the performances were lower than in past years. COVID19 is one major reason as some athletes took the season off.

Sadly we don't have the negotiating leverage that Olympiakos had with Tsimikas. I would rate Giannoulis and Tsimikas about same but we are going to be forced to sell him at half the price that Olympiakos allegedly sold Tsimikas.

Four weeks ago the Thessaloniki sports media (ie. sleazy scumbags that would sell their own mother) bought Misic from Sporting supposedly for 1 mil now and 1 mil later if he becomes healthy again. PAE PAOK never made an official announcement. This time around it's again news from the same media that supposedly claims we are extending the loan for another year. Again no official announcement as of yet.

The game has been scheduled by UEFA for August 25, 2020 at 21:00 EEST at Toumba Stadium.

Diaby, Boateng, Burak Yilmaz, Gonul, Erkin, Elneny. Apparently they have serious budget issues.

We can't play any games at Toumba as the pitch is being replaced.

Rumor is that the PAOK - Besiktas will take place on August 26 at 22:00 EEST. Also it's almost certain that it will be televised on PAOK TV.

Important game that we need to win just to secure EL group stage spot. Besiktas lost several key players in recent days. Also their first training session for next season was today, which should give us some advantage.

The entrance of Matos made the difference in the 2nd half. I don't want to see Limnios playing that position again. Giannoulis was not even dressed to play. I have a feeling he has been sold. Need couple solid friendlies before the battle with Besiktas.

It's on the PAOK TV Youtube channel. As for the new PAOK TV web site. What a mess. Don't like the layout at all. Also since it started I can't login with my credentials.

Starting lineup: ----------------- Paschalakis -------------- --- Ingason - Varela - Michailidis -- Limnios -------------------- Balogiannis ------ Schwab ------- El Kaddouri ----- Jaba --------------------------------- Tzolis ----------------- Swiderski ------------------

Tomorrow's game will be on PAOK TV for free. Kickoff 19:00 EEST.

Tomorrow is draw for the CL. Who would you prefer? My prediction is Rapid Vienna and that is also the team I would prefer. I would like to stay away from Besiktas and Viktoria Plzen.

Most likely on loan again. He was loaned to Apollon Smyrnins last season following the serious shoulder injury and surgery that followed.

I prefer their old one.

Warda has COVID.

The four neutral venues picked by UEFA for the 2020-2021 qualifying rounds of UEFA competitions are Greece, Cyprus, Hungary and Poland. Following the elimination of Olympiakos from Europa League, Greece will end up in 18th place in the UEFA rankings which means that in 2021-2022 European competitions Greece will have the following representation: UEFA Champions League: Greek Champion - Qualifying Round 1 UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL): Greek Cup Winner, 2nd, 3rd place finishers - Qualifying Round 2

Schwab was solid. Probably our best player in first half, but that is not saying much. At least our youngsters showed some energy. Hoping for better showing on Monday.

You got to be kidding me Swiderski.

penalty for PAOK.
