Blackhawk

Court decision is expected on Thursday, but I have a feeling this will drag on for a while.

If AEK is punished for not coming out to play, the punishment is -10 points according to KAP rules. It's no longer -3 points.

That was their plan all along. If they can't win it on the field, win in the courts.

It will be on Epsilon TV in Greece. Also on Swiss channel as well as Arena Sport in the Balkans. All TV schedules here: https://www.facebook.com/Greeksoccerontv/

Then it was last Friday, and now it might be this Friday. It all depends on what happens with the decision in the PAOk - AEK game in my opinion.

Yes I was and enjoyed every minute of it. Sadly, I saw live the game where Jordan broke his foot in 1986. It was the 3rd game of that season and he missed the rest of the 1986-1987 season.

Both teams appealed to the 2nd level of appeals concerning this game. Olympiakos wants to also include a point deductions for PAOK to the already 3:0 win on paper. PAOK in return asks that the appeal court overturns the 3:0 loss and either rules it in PAOK's favor or at the minimum have the game replayed. I believe the appeal will take this Friday. Incidently the Olympiakos's appeal ruling concerning the Olympiakos - AEK game is still pending after the many postponements. Olympiakos hopes to have the -3 points erased in this case.

Let's get back on topic and stay there ... Kominis apparently replied to the judges request to answer questions concerning all the lies he wrote in the initial match report. However media reports say (really how did they get the contents of his e-mail to the judge?) that he failed to reply or even add anything new to what is already in the questionable original match report. I think it's very important that PAOK lawyers request that he (and the linesmen and 4th officials) are forced to attend the hearing in person and testify under oath.

No it's not. Organizational wise it's way above the Greek Superleague and probably some other European leagues as well. However player quality wise it's average at best.

I will not close it / split it for now. Keep the discussions concerning the legal proceedings considering the PAOK - AEK game here and the ones concerning the PAOK - Olympiakos in the respective thread.

Koulouris and Limnios have no business in the senior NT squad. Koulouris never will. Limnios has a talent but he needs to improve a lot. Pelkas has a spot on the team and I thought Paschalakis has one as well. However with all the bullshit going on concerning PAOK I would not let the players take part in any NT games right now if I was PAE PAOK.

Pelkas, Limnios and Koulouris have been called by Skibbe for the friendlies against Switzerland and Egypt. Of those only Pelkas deserves to be on the team. Also he forgot to call up Paschalakis.

Are you kidding me? Do you even know what you are talking about? The ref is the person officiating the game and the match report is the official document of the game. It's up to him to decide if the game is played or abandoned. Unfortunately in Greece the refs are of poor quality.

No, but it should be suspended forever.

Today was the Superleague hearing concerning this match. Kominis the ref of the game refused to appear before the judge even though he was asked to do so. PAOK asked to have the hearing postponed, but that was turned down by the judge. At the end of the hearing the judge ordered Kominis to supply answers in writing by Monday. Decision is expected on Wednesday or Thursday. It will be interesting to see the verdict in the case. The match report has more holes than a swiss cheese and that's why PAOK wanted the ref to appear before the judge.

Today Savvidis sold Donskoy Tabak (which also owes SEKAP in Greece) to a Japan Tobacco for $ 1.6 Billion. In a press release Savvidis's company Dimera Group (which also owes PAOK) announced that they will now focus on more investments in Greece.

Of course it's Amorgos. He is free to post anything he wants as long as it does not break forum rules.

When are you people going to realize that the coach does not make the calls. Managers that do.

If there is Superleague next season the TV deal will be a mess. I doubt if there will be a collective deal. Each team for itself. This will be very bad for small teams that will end up without contract. I also see PAOK breaking up their deal with NOVA for next season.

Savvidis and Melissanidis managed through a combined effort to convince the majority of various "enosis" to vote for Grammenos in order to defeat Girtzikis in the EPO elections. Savvidis delivered 50 % of the enosis, Melissanidis 30% and the rest voted for Olympiakos supported enosis. The original effort to oust the Olympiakos controlled EPO included Alafouzos, but that went out of the window fairly early in the process. After that he joined hands with Marinakis to promote his propaganda on his TV station. And of course now the Savvidis - Melissanidis cooperation is dead after the latest events. Officiating has improved due to the fact that they cleaned up most of the corrupted refs, but there were few that still remained (Aretopoulos, Kalogeropoulos, Kominis) mainly because the referees are controlled appointed to games by FIFA. As for Grammenos he really did not have enough time to do anything substantial. He tried to fix up the national team by taking them out from the Karaiskaki Stadium, but that is now will not last long either. He will not last long. He was hated by Olympiakos from the beginning and now that the PAOK - AEK cooperation is finished we will go back to Olympiakos controlled EPO.

What exactly happened in the last two games at Toumba? The stadium was a church at both games. As for Larisa, the pitch is better to grow potatoes instead of playing football.

That's where it's heading in my opinion. For decades Athens considered northern Greece a second class region. Different country if you will. I am afraid it might eventually happen.

EPO is reacting to the media hysteria in Athens where they are portraying Toumba as some jungle. After this if I was PAOK I would not allow the Greek national team to play at Toumba again. And that goes for the U21 team as well which claimed Toumba as their home for the past few games.

Do you know who the EPO leader is and how he became the leader of EPO? And BTW the reason I asked you how long you have been following Greek football to see how much of the Greek football past have you witnessed. So I ask you. For the past 23 years have you seen any improvement?

Fairly good article on the reason why there is an organized war against PAOK and the owner of the team: http://www.periodista.gr/politiki/article/91775/spame-tin-omerta-etsi-estisan-ton-iban-sabbidi-etsi-theloun-na-stisoun-ton-alexi-tsipra
