It's time for the team to rally in support of Konstantelias who is apparently facing a serious family issue. Win it for him!

The draw for Round 1 of the Europa League takes place tomorrow at 13:00 CET featuring 24 teams. PAOK will start the competition from Round 2. The procedure is as follows: The 13 teams entering directly into this round will be joined by the 11 clubs that finished third in the UEFA Women's Champions League second qualifying round mini-tournaments. The winners of the 12 two-legged Women's Europa Cup first qualifying round ties, to be played in principle on 26 August and 2 September, will advance to the second qualifying round. They will then be joined by the 11 Women's Champions League second qualifying round mini-tournament runners-up (which includes PAOK). and the nine teams defeated in the Women's Champions League third qualifying round.

I'll settle for 0:1 in regulation and 4:5 on penalties.

Anderlecht is an ok team. They got lucky with that early goal and then played the entire game to keep the 1:0 lead. We on the other hand had the possession the entire game but only managed to get 2 shots on target. We just could not create any scoring chances.

0:1 final Everything that could go wrong went wrong today. Will need to do much better in Brussels to have any hope.

I think this game will end 0:2

Taylor and Baba in for Gomez and Santamaria

We shot ourselves in the foot in the first half. First the silly goal and then the penalty situation. We were the better team in the first half, but have nothing to show for it. We desperately miss a regular forward on the team. We need to score an early goal in the 2nd half. Elustondo to replace Hatzidiakos to start the 2nd half.

Hatzidiakos 3rd yellow and he is out of the return leg.

No penalty as we fouled their player before the play. Everything is going against us today.

As well it should have we had 3 players in the box before Michailidis kicked the penalty. And why the F*** is Michailidis kicking the penalty?

Michailidis takes it and misses, but Mythou scores on the rebound.

Giannoulis signing is official:

Brann - Apollon Limassol 0:1

3:2 win in extra time for PAOK ladies against Ferencvaros. We now play Brann in the final on Saturday. Brann defeted Mitrovica 5:0 and are favorites to progress to 3rd round of the competition. If we lose, we drop down to the Europa Cup competition.

Levski beat Kairat 1:0 in the first leg.

Giannoulis is due in Thessaloniki tomorrow to sign with PAOK. Three year contract at 1.2 mil per season. We are paying Augsburg 3.75 mil + 500 K in bonuses. We also agreed to play a friendly with them with proceeds going to the German team. I said it before and will say it again, we are over paying for him. That money could have been better spent on getting a good forward.

Lyratzis to Atromitos is a free transfer, but we retain some kind of resale percentage. Balde has been loaned to Levadeiakos for the upcoming season.
