We better score a goal quick so not to give Panionios any ideas.

And that's in a civilized league/country. Imagine what will be happening in the 3rd world country/league such as Greece.

1:1 halftime.

Koulouris 1:0

JVC why do you bring this up again. We have discussed this over and over. You last sentence though basically says that PAOK can't win the appeal because it's not politically correct. Nothing to do with the rules of the game.

Lineup: ------------------ Paschalakis --------------- Matos - Varela - Crespo - Azevedo ------ Shakhov ---------- Mauricio ------ Limnios ----- Pelkas ------- Biseswar ---------------- Koulouris --------------------- The sad thing is that we don't have another RB so Matos is forced to play in this meaningless game.

I watched the whole game live and that's what I believe I saw. Does it really make any difference though? The game should have ended 5:0, 6:0.

I expect some changes in PAOK's lineup for this game. Here is the squad for the game: Σιαμπάνης, Πασχαλάκης, Μάτος, Αζεβέδο, Κρέσπο, Βαρέλα, Μαουρίσιο, Σάκχοφ, Κάνιας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Ελ Καντουρί, Πέλκας, Κάμπος, Βιεϊρίνια, Μακ, Λημνιός, Κουλούρης, Πρίγιοβιτς

Don't think Prijo's goal was offside but Shakhov's was. Either way the score should have been 5:0 or higher. Complete domination by PAOK.

3:1 final

Prijo 3:0

Total domindation

El Khaddouri 2:0

1:0 Shakhov from apparent offside position.

AS Roma started selling tickets online for the CL semifinal game Roma - Liverpool. The only problem was that the draw for the semifinals of CL has not taken place when they started selling the tickets. They went on sale 2 hours before the draw was made. There are two possible answers: - the UEFA draws are fixed - Roma officials made a lucky guess I think I'll go with the first answer.

The game will be played without fans (once again), but there is supposed to be a fan gathering at a central location in Thessaloniki and then procession to Toumba where the game will be shown on a giant TV screen. The squad for the game: Ρέι , Πασχαλάκης , Μάτος , Αζεβέδο , Δεληγιαννίδης , Κρέσπο , Βαρέλα , Σάκχοφ , Κάνιας , Μουλέν , Μπίσεσβαρ , Κάμπος , Ελ Καντουρί , Βιεϊρίνια , Μακ , Λημνιός , Κουλούρης , Πρίγιοβιτς I expect the following lineup: ------------------ Paschalakis --------------- Matos - Varela - Crespo - Vieirinha -------- Canas ------------- Shakhov ------ Campos ------ Biseswar ------- Mak --------------------- Prijovic ------------------- However I would not be surprised to see El Kaddouri or Moulen start.

Malezas is out with injury as well.

Savvidis already did! He apologized and accepted the 3-year punishment. When will the refs do that for lying on match reports and refusing to appear before the judge. Also when will AEK people come out and say that they are happy to win the title on paper. The original verdict will not change in my opinion. The decision is more political than sports related. At best they might reduce the Savvidis punishment from 3 years to 1 year and perhaps eliminate the games without fans even though we will serve at least two of those games before the decision is handed out. Having said that, the best result of this circus from the past two months is to further expose the slime and corruption in Greek football/society. Also the refs responsible for this mess are probably banished from officiating, although with the Greek mentality you never know. Finally I hope that by now Savvidis has learned not to trust and make deals with slimy backstabbers such as Melissanidis, Alafouzos and drug dealers. He should also stop any help (financial or otherwise) to run the Superleague.

Bananas in order for the debts to be erased the team needs to drop down to amateur divisions and then come back under new tax ID number. B' division is not an amateur division.

Today is PAOK's appeal for the original fines concerning this game.. The hearing is still going on as I write this (around 11 pm in Greece) and PAOK introduced a video showing that AEK refused to return to the field to finish the game.

Speaking of guitarists of Greek descent, one of my favorites is Apostolis Anthimos. I have first heard of him back in 1970's when I lived in Czechoslovakia. He was one of the founding members of the Polish jazz-rock band S.B.B. You can read more about him here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostolis_Anthimos Here he is in action in 2006:

The kseftila in Superleague continues. The teams that called an emergency meeting in order to pass a measure to save Panathinaikos from relegation decided to stay away from the meeting after they realized that they will not have enough votes to pass the measure.

With Chicago Blackhawks not in it I am not that much interested in the playoffs. I guess to make it interesting I will root for the Penguins since my son studies in Pittsburgh, but I doubt if they will repeat as champions.
