Apparently they don't know the rules, because 53-40 = 13 13:5 = 2.6 (rounded up to 3) and 45-40 = 5 5:5 = 1

With four rounds of regular season Superleague games left, PAOk has not secured a spot in the playoffs. Complicating things are the points deduction as a result of the abandoned Greek Cup match against Olympiakos. With that in mind let's see the remaining schedule among the teams that are in the running for a playoff spot: STANDINGS AFTER ROUND 26 2. AEK 53 3. PAO 45 4. PAOK - 41 5. Panionios - 40 ----------------------- 6. Tripoli - 34 7. PAS Giannina 34 8. Levadeiakos 32 9. Platanias 32 ROUND 27 Xanthi - Levadeiakos Veroa - Platanias PAO - Iraklis Panaitolikos - AEK PAOK - Kalloni Tripoli - Olympiakos PAS Giannina - Panionios ROUND 28 Iraklis - Tripoli Kalloni - AEK Levadeiakos - PAS Giannina PAO - Veroia Panionios - PAOK Platanias - Xanthi ROUND 29 Tripoli - PAO PAOK - Levadeiakos AEK - Panionios PAS Giannina - Platanias ROUND 30 Xanthi - PAS Giannina Tripoli - Veroia Levadeiakos - AEK PAO - Panthrakikos Platanias - PAOK Panionios - Atromitos If the playoffs tarted today, the initial standings would be: 1. AEK 3 2. PAO 1 3. PAOK 0 4. Panionios 0

There are actually three different Gol TV channels. The original was a Miami based soccer channel, that was available on satellite and cable channels in the US. Eventually they got a license to broadcast in Canada and South America. Eventually they ran into financial difficulties and other companies acquired the Canadian and South American divisions. They are still called Gol TV, but broadcast different programming. As far as I know only the South American version of Gol TV carries Superleague games. An average they will show one game each round, and sometime none at all.

It sure is. Besides Olympiakos, PAOK is the only other Greek team that brought in any substantial points to the UEFA's coefficient. Without those points, the 12th position in the UEFA standings would have disappeared much sooner. Also PAOK in European competitions has quite a good points coefficient, which means we get easier draws and thus acquire more points for the overall standings easier. That's something AEK, Panionios, Tripoli, Giannina can't do. As for the 12 smaller teams, half of those teams are in Marinakis's corner, and even with PAOK, AEk and Panathinaikos joining forces, there are not enough votes to overturn the "red" majority in the Superleague.

It might actually happen, but not because of EPO. It's because lawyers in Greece have been on strikes on and off. As a result lot of the soccer related hearings have been postponed over and over. PAOK's hearings are supposed to take place this week, and if they take place, any point deductions will take place during the regular season. This is what PAOK wants. First of all, there is a possibility that the point deduction can be up to 6 points, but if it is any bigger than what Panathinaikos got (-3), it will be a robbery. With 3 points deduction, we are pretty much in the playoffs, as there is 7 point difference from Asteras Tripoli.

Agree with BostonDeath on this one. 35k should be the max.

He said that before the results of his physical were known.

Tzavellas stands out this season, because of the lack of better players in the CB position. His only good attribute is his passion, which unfortunately is also one of his big liability. He is flirting with a red card in every game. His contract end in 2017, and he will stay until then. I agree with pash that he should play at his natural position as LB. I would keep Vitor too. even if it is as a backup CB. Unfortunately PAOK might not have much to say in this matter, as his contract ends in June, and it is reported that he is not willing to renew his contract.

Exactly, and let's not forget that Lubos Michel was in Shaktar Donetsk's front office before joining PAOK.

Ivic is experimenting with a 4-3-3 formation. The 3-5-2 formation was not possible for the average players that PAOK has on its roster currently. Anyway, Skondras and Golasa have also been ruled out for Saturday. With that in mind I present you my lineup for the game: --------------------- Vellidis ------------------- Kitsiou --- Vitor --- Malezas --- Tzavellas --- Kace -------- Tziolis ------- Charisis -- --- Mystakidis ------------------- Pelkas --- ----------------- Athanasiadis ---------------

Yes the game against Panthrakikos was the breaking point. I think a decision was allready made a while back that Tudor would not be the coach next season. This was probably decided at the same time as the Arnesen firing. Tudor was kept for strategic reasons. ivic is also a temporary coach. Just like Georgiadis use to be. I am sure Michel is allready looking for a new coach, and rumors are that he has held a secret meeting with Lucescu, Xanthi's current coach.

Lets just call him Chatzi from now on.

Aris is not allowed. They don't want teams that travel to their games with tractors in the Xanthi Superleague.

It's probably just trolling, but Xanthi wants a Superlegue with 12 teams without the big 4:

Klaus only has 6 cards and is available, although I don't think it makes any difference. Missing the game are Glykos, Jairo, Rodriguez, Chatziisaias, Mak, Berbatov, Cimirot Panaitolikos's main threat is their dekari Warda, so if can put a player such as Kace on him, we can neutralize him. The key player is their keeper and ex-PAOK player Kyriakidis. The few games I have seen Agrinio this season, he has been keeping them in the game. It will be interesting what Ivic comes up with as a lineup.

I would add Glykos and Skondras to that list, but would keep Kitsiou, Vitor, Jairo and Pelkas as backaups. As for Koulouris on pash's list, he had his chances. He is nothingspecial. Set him free so he can move on in Popovic's steps.

Savvidis sacked Tudor right after the game with Panthrakikos. There was actually a disagreement on when to announce his firing. Lubos Michel wanted to have the announcement made right after the game, while other within PAE wanted to wait until the meeting between the owners concluded. Things got easier when Savvidis started bragging about Tudor's fate during the meeting yesterday. The senile Theodoridis and the red medisa machine just took advantage of the situation for their own benefit. Tudor's fate was decided long time ago. Actually at the same time as when Arnesen's fate was decided. he was being kept as coach for strategic (in Savvidis's mind) reasons.

My Grek Soccer on TV page (http://home.earthlink.net/~ziaka/GreekSoccerTVSchedules.htm) has been temporarily closed. The TV schedule for now temporarily available on a private page. If you would like a link to that page, please send me a request via pm. I reserve the right to whom I will provide the link to.

Scznaucner is his assistant coach. Another lost season. :tdown: Savvidis is at PAOK four years. In each of those years the coach gets fired in March.

If we don't win this game I predict that we will not make the playoffs.

Well Ivan only gave him enough money to buy players such as Cimirot, Sabo, etc. On top of that he also had to pay off few veterans so they would go away.

Yes, he is not to be involved with Greek soccer. :lol: And one day before the meeting the Undersecretary of Sport is now calling for the owners of the Big 4 to sit down together and work things out among themselves. Never mind that there are 12 other teams that take part in the competition.
