I did not see the game, but from what they said on the radio, the goal was gifted to them by Itandje (an ex-Atromitos player). At least we were able to come back and tie it.
It's now important for us to win the next two home games against Tripoli and Panathinaikos if we want to keep any chances of finishing first.

it was not up to super-league to prosecute UEFA could have proceeded if there was enough evidence.
Superleague is the one that should initially investigate such accusations, since it's their own product that is on the line. However since all the decisions are made by Olympiakos with all the satellites, there was no way Superleague would go ahead implicating themselves.
The next step should be for EPO to step in and do their own investigation, but we know who controls them, and since UEFA would only step in if EPO asked for it, don't expect anything happening in such cases.

In all seriousness, did you really expected any other outcome in this case?

Yiasou Barcelona. Nice to see you here.

Veroia was saved from elimination by the Supeleague disciplinary commission. Veroia was implicated in arranging a 3:0 loss to Olympiakos couple years ago. The coach at that time, Kalaitzidis (current Aris coach), Georgeas and Kafes testified that during hal-time the Veroia General Manager told the players that the owner of the team wants the game to end in a 3:0 loss. Well guess what the final score was? Now how you arrange a fix without the other team knowing is beyond me.
In any case the Superleague disciplinary commission claims that there was not enough evidence to proceed with the case making everybody happy. Veroia stays in SL, Olympiakos is not implicated, and unfortunately more people will decide not to watch Greek soccer as a result.

19 players travelled to Athens for the game.
No Salpi, Papadopoulos, Konstantinidis, Golasa
Possible lineup:
---------------- Itandje -------------------
Skondras - Vitor - Costa - Rat
-- Kace --- Tziolis --- Noboa --
-- Pereyra -- Klaus -- Mak --
In my opinion it will be a defensive affair. We will need to contain Napoleoni and be careful with set pieces.
If we have any thought of winning this game, the offense needs to pick things up.
I predict a 1:0 win with a Klaus goal.

We always have a tough time with Atromitos.

First game of the playoffs. With a win we take Atromitos out of the picture. Tie is not a bad result either. However we must not lose this game.

PAS owner said today Chavez is not going anywhere, since he still has 1 year left. And since they can't get players on transfer, they will keep him for now. Could be a trick to start a bidding war for the player.
-
The 3-year rule does not apply to Superleague/Football League. It appears that AE Pontion Iraklis has not paid off some of his past players. That's probably why they did not get the license. They can appeal, and I expect them to get the license after the appeal.

Vellidis signed a new deal with Giannina so he is out, but it looks like Chavez is talking with PAOK.
Apparently we are also interested in Dimitris Chatziisaias (Defense) and Olivier Boumale (offense) from Panionios according to rumors.
As for TD, he is going to be from Spain and will be announced soon. The plans are for him to be with the team at the first playoff game next week.

Michalis Leontiadis. He played in early 90's. Character wise he was the Pablo Garcia of that time.

Some pics:

Yeah that song was hard to listen to. I have to say some of the NT players are still in good shape.
-
The NT won 3:2. Some of the old-timers (Skatados. Leontiadis, etc) looked like they were in better physical shape than some our current starters.

Lineups:
PAOK:
-
Big game today in Cleveland. I think we need to steal the game. Otherwise I believe the hated LeBron will prevail.
-
just like last year, i believe the winner of the western conference wins the cup.
I believe that too. This is going to be tough series though. I think Crawford will do fine. I am little bit worried about our defense. How much more extra time can Keith, Seabrook, Oduya and Hjalmarsson handle?

The playoffs schedule:

-
So it cost Savvidis close to 11 mil to pay the debt created by the crooks (Batatoudis, Goumenos, Zagorakis, etc.). Big feat considering he did not create a single Euro in debt since he took over. He paid dearly for other people's mistakes. This move Ivan, can only mean one thing. He is not going anywhere. Now I expect him to proceeds with his other plans (new training grounds/refurbished Toumba).
Hopefully he will also clean up the front office and hires people that will try to make the team competitive.

Yes, every obstacle has been resolved, and the payment to the taxing authorities is supposed to take place tomorrow or Wednesday.
-
On Wednesday PAOK plays the Euro 2004 NT in a charity game. I hope Gergiadis is not that stupid to play the starters in this game. The way the injuries happen at PAOK these days I would not risk it at all. BTW Georgiadis will coach PAOK for one half and then play for the NT in the other half. Otto is supposed to the NT coach.
-
What a joke of a game. What a joke Panionios is. The team did not even apply for a license to play in Superleague, but they are still part of it.
And finally what a joke PAOK has become. We had a chance to finish 2nd in the standings, but could not beat Giannina at home, and then could not do anything against Panionios. The funny thing will be if by miracle Olympiakos gets punished by UEFA and is not allowed to play in Europe, Panathinaikos will take their place in the group stage of CL, when it could have been PAOK.
As for the playoffs, I don't give us much hope. We have so many injuries. Let's just hope Olympiakos wins the cup, so we are not left out of Europe.
-
Costa is serving a card ban. As is Klaus, Noboa, and come think also Mak, so I got to change my lineup. Salpi is injured.
Konstantinidis and Golasa are out for 4 weeks and will miss the rest of the season. Pereyra might also miss the game tomorrow.
My new lineup:
---------------- Itandje ------------------
Skondras - Vitor - Tzavellas - Rat
Kitsiou - Kace - Tziolis - Pozoglou
--- Koulouris --- Papadopoulos ---
