Skibbe is going to start Koulouris and also play Limnios tomorrow against Switzerland and then ship both players to the U-21 NT for the game against Czech Republic on Tuesday.

4:0 win against San Marina in Xanthi today. Next game on Tuesday against the Czech Republic in Xanthi again. That is the important game to win to keep our hopes to finish on top of the group.

Campos scored for Angola in their 1:1 friendly tie against South Africa.

There is only one solution to the Greek football problems. Apply the current rules of the law to all teams fairly and equally. Not depending on the name of the team. If it takes Grexit to accomplish that then let it be. We all now this will never happen. Corrupted society = corrupted football.

My wife's parents are from 2 horia that are on the map.

It doesn't really take much to be ahead of some of the other clowns doing sports radio in Thessaloniki. He is good to listen for entertaining purposes since there is nothing else to listen to during that time. In the past his shows used to be better, but the last few years he is bringing in some very unfunny guests on his show.

Raptopoulos is an idiot and a clown but always good for a laugh or two if there is nothing else to listen to on the radio.

PAOK today submitted additional material to the judge including a video footage. Decision is now expected Friday or next week. I expect very heavy punishment for PAOK considering the wishes of the government and paid off media. The final decisions will be decided on appeals.

Did you actually see the game or are you basing your opinions on what you are reading in the Greek media? There was police present. If anyone was threatened they would have restrained him. The fact that he had a concealed weapon was not known until he was leaving the field when he took his jacket off. The only reason the gun issue is used is because a photographer was able to snap a picture which was then immediately circulated to all the paid off media. The only reason AEK was "threatened" was because the ref informed them that the score was 1:0. If it was 0:0 they would have come out on the field without any problem. Now let's get back on topic. Olympiakos hopes for both PAOK and AEK to get punished, so they can get their dirty hands on another "paper" title.

Which it was and that's why the ref asked the teams to come out and play, but only PAOK came out. In any normal country it would be a clear cut case. PAOK wins game on paper. Savvidis and Michel get a big punishment including a big ban from soccer. That's in a normal country, but in Greece everything is being tried in the corrupted and paid off media, so the end result will be heavy punishment for PAOK on all levels. Once again it will be a selective enforcement of the rules, and things will go on as usual until the next incident.

Very true. And after the "questionable" retirement and his return to the Bulls the addition of Rodman to the team brought more titles to the Windy City. Had he not "retired" there would have been more titles.

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.
