We are going to lose the game on paper. We will be deducted 3 points. We will be fined 30-80K We will play 1-3 games without fans

It' over. This is exactly what Olympiakos and AEK were hoping to happen in this game.

You guys realize we just lost the game and the title right.

And here are the point deductions and a forfeited game.

The reason is that now we have people at EPO that care about the national team and Greek football in general. The previous leadership was there to just make money for themselves and to serve their master.

PAOK will end up at number 48 in the UEFA rankings ahead of next season. It's a drop from number 44, which can be directly blamed on our early exit from the Europa League this season. 13/14 - 14/15 - 15/16 - 16/17 - 17/18 48. PAOK THESSALONIKI 29.500 points (9.00 - 5.00 - 6.00 - 8.00 - 1.50) It very important we do well in the next season as we will lose the good 13/14 season points (9.00). The top 60:

Too much yellow color for my taste.

Athens, AEK missed even a bigger chance to score in the 1st half. Too bad, they could have advanced.

No need to change it unless you really want to. I just wanted to know if there some short nickname you would prefer when we address you in our posts, because it will be time consuming typing DunfermlineAthleticPAOK. Enjoy the game on Sunday and bring us a victory.

AEK is tied with D. Kiiv 0:0 in the 60th minute in Europa League. With that score they are eliminated. I hope this ends in 1:1 tie, extra time and penalty shootout with AEK winning of course. The other option is for AEK just to win and continue in the competition.

The Oly appeal at EPO concerning their 3 point deduction was postponed to March 1. The excuse was that the Oly lawyer was busy at the SL hearing concerning PAOK and what ever happened at the Giannina - PAOK game. Subsequently that case was also postponed after Oly requested a detailed report on the damages to the Ginnina stadium, so the charges could be elevated to include points deduction. It will now be heard on March 15th. You realize this is all part of a Oly witch hunt against PAOK to influence Sunday's game and the title race.

Greece will be represented by 9 athletes in Birmingham: 60 M HURDLES: Kostas Douvalidis (SKA Drama) - 7.69 sec. /7.60 sec. (season's best / personal best) POLE VAULT: Kostas Filippidis (PAnellinios Athens) - 5.85 m / 5.85 m POLE VAULT: Emmanouil Karalis (GS Kifisia) - 5.78 m / 5.78 m Miltos Tentoglou - Long Jump (GS Grevena) - 7.95 m / 7.95 m ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 60 M: Rafaela Spanoudaki (GS Ilioupolis) - 7.29 sec. / 7.29 sec. 400 M: Maria Belibasakis (Panaxxiakos AO) - 52.28 sec. / 52.28 sec. 60 M HURDLES: Elisabet Pesiridou (GS Kifisia) - 8.11 sec. / 8.04 sec. POLE VAULT: Katerina Stefanidi (AO Filothei) - 4.83 m / 4.90 m TRIPLE JUMP: Paraskevi Papachristou (AEK Athens) - 14.25 m / 14.47 m I expect 1 medal (Stefanidi) from the Greek athletes. Anything else will be a big surprise and a big bonus.

I think the fans will behave themselves for the most part. What worries me is that Olympiakos players/officials/referees will try to instigate our fans in order to do something stupid. If I was PAE PAOK I would have a camera taping the Olympiakos bench for the full 90 minutes, and also heavy security specially near Gate 4. Another worrying sign is that they assigned the past Gate7 member Aretopoulos to call the game.

This incident has "Melissanidis" written all over. Those are the gangster tactics he used back in the 90's when he was running AEK. Let's not forget who is AEK playing on Monday. Apparently PAOK will provide him with security from now on.

Welcome to the forum DunfermlineAthleticPAOK. Cool story. Can we settle for a shorter name that we can call you in our posts?

There are two other athletes in these Olympics with Greek roots. Both taking part in the Ice Dancing competition. Joti (Panagiotis) Polizoakis with his partner Kavita Lorenz competing for Germany finished in 16th place in the same competition. Gabriella Papadakis competed with her partner Guillaume Cezeron for France in the Ice Dancing, finishing in 2nd place. She had wardrobe malfunction during their free programme, but completed the dance and won the silver medal.

Pelkas (and Campos) did not practice with the team today, but there is no way he will miss the game on Sunday.

True but there will be some major obstacles thrown our way in the next 3 games (Oly, Tripoli, AEK). I think the Tripoli game is the most dangerous of the three.

Anybody saw the friendly between AEK and Xanthi? What a joke.

I agree 100%. Mak was very good on Saturday. A lot will be determined in this round. AEK is playing at Atromitos and this is probably the only game that they can drop points (other than the PAOK game). Too bad that the game will be played on Monday so they will know the result of our game.

This will be a tough game. They will come in to play their last card (if the 3-point deduction is overturned on appeal). We have a better team, but in these games anything can happen. We will need to play smart and the fans will also have to be smart supporting the team. Must win situation even if it is 1:0 in the 95th minute.
