Blackhawk

The a**hole Djebour got away with it again. He should have been red-carded in the first half of the game. Instead he continued create nothing but trouble, only to throw punches at Vellidis at the end of the game. Instead it was Kace and Barbosa ended up to pay for it, possibly losing 2 to 3 games as a result.

Apparently Kace received a red card at the end of the game. So did Barbosa from AEK. That a**hole Djebour got finished the whole game by some miracle.

Djebour as usual starting s%$#!.

Big win. We are now back in the hunt for the first place in the playoffs. If we don't lose on Sunday at leoforos we will be in good shape. Standings after first round: 1. PAOK 3 2. PAO 3 3. AEK 2 4. Panionios 1 Next round: Panathinaikos - PAOK AEK - Panionios

Mystakidis 2:1

Rodrigues 1:1

After seeing the replay, the goal should not have counted, since the AEK player controlled the ball with his hand before kicking it into the net.

We need major improvement in second half if we want to get anything out of this match. We have no midfield. AEK clearly the better team on the field. They should have had a penalty kick. Also Djebour should have gotten a red card.

Vitor is out due to injury. Squad picked by Ivic for the game:

Vitor suffered a minor injury during practice today. Mak has the flu. Both should be available on Wednesday.

Yes Mario Pappas is the same guy that ran the CD store and Ellas TV.

Skibbe picked 4 PAOK players for the preliminary national team squad that will travel to Australia for two friendlies in June. They are Kitsiou, Tzavellas, Tziolis and Pelkas

Well, since EPO re-scheduled the cup final for May 15, the playoff games should also be re-scheduled. However all competitions have to end on May 29 due to EURO according to UEFA rules. The way I see it is that the cup final will never get played.

Not a big loss in my opinion. Mediocre player. Don't understand why he gets called for the NT. Apparently the game will be played on Wednesday, even though there were threats that EPO would not assign refs for the playoff games. I guess they changed their mind after fearing various legal issues if the playoffs are not played. Also all PAOK players (except for Konstantinidis) are taking part in regular practice sessions and are available for the game. I doubt though that Leovac and Berbatov will see any action in this game.

Still think Grexit would have been the best way to fix the Greek soccer.

Kseftila continues. Kontonis after police intervention postponed the Greek Cup Final. This also puts the Superleague playoffs in doubt.

No TV for the Greek Cup final since it was postponed again. (Kseftila continues)

There is a possibility that the playoffs will be cancelled by EPO following the postponement of the Greek Cup final.

Apparently Matos is allready signed up. Official announcements to be made after the playoffs. He is able to play as RB and LB and even as a RM. With that in mind, I think some of our right backs will bid us goodbye. My money is on Skondras and Konstantinidis.

The complete Superleague Playoffs television schedule is out. Check out the details on my TV page: http://home.earthlink.net/~cigi60/GreekSoccerTVSchedules.htm Of interest is the fact that Sport Plus will not show any games in USA, Canada and Australia, since 3 of the 4 teams in the playoffs are "Antenna teams". PAOK home games will be televised live on Laola1.TV as usual.

Back on topic. ERT will show the final on two hour delay at 22:30 Greek Time.

Look who is nit picking. Comparing apples with oranges.

Pablo Contreras came to Thesaloniki today. Apparently he suggested to PAE PAOK the following Colo Colo Santiago players: Paolo Guarces (31) - goalkeeper Claudio Baeza (22) - defensive midfielder Rafael Caroca (26) - defensive midfielder They sound like players that Levadeiakos or Asteras Tripoli would sign.
