Tzavellas should not be playing as CB. He should be playing LB, which is his position. Instead Malezas loses his spot in the lineup. The CB spot should be reserved for Vitor, Chatziisaias and Malezas. Tzavellas should be sharing his position with Leovac.

AEK and Atromitos both received a 3 point deduction from the standing along with fan ban and monetary fines for the crowd trouble during their game, which also included a stabbing among other things. I guess if you try to kill someone, you also get a two point discount.

the lack of an experienced player that would step in and take the team on his shoulders is quite evident this season. There is no one that would take this leadership role. You would think Klaus would be one of those guys, but he is more interested in getting a new tattoo and party with his girlfriend in some Athens night club.

Game will be played without fans.

Situation did not get any clearer following Round 28: STANDINGS AFTER ROUND 28 4. Panionios - 44 5. PAOK - 39 (assuming -5 point deduction) ----------------------- 6. Platanias 38 7. Tripoli 37 8. PAS Giannina 36 ROUND 29 PAOK - Levadeiakos AEK - Panionios PAS Giannina - Platanias Tripoli - Panathinaikos ROUND 30 Xanthi - PAS Giannina Platanias - PAOK Panionios - Atromitos Tripoli - Veroia If the playoff started today, the initial standings would be: 1. AEK 2 (assuming PAOK -5 and AEK -3 point deductions) 2. PAO 2 3. Panionios 1 4. PAOK 0

It's called an appeal process. Anyway, we had a poor first half. I think we played much better in the second half, where Panionios with three chances scored twice. I think all these injuries took quite a toll on the team. It was quite evident in today's game. It was a good game with two teams evenly matched. The luckier team won today.

Most likely lineup for Sunday: ------------------- Vellidis ------------------ Kitsiou -- Vitor -- Tzavellas -- Leovac ---- Kace------ Tziolis ---- Charisis ---- --- Pellkas ---- Klaus ---- Korovesis ---

Good post teke. If you think that the situation in Superleague is bad, the problems in the lower divisions are even worse. In the Football League, which is also a professional league, two teams did not finish the season this year, and some teams don't have money to pay the referees as they are supposed to do. God only knows what's going on in the amateur leagues. EPO needs to be restructured from the ground up.

The game of "chicken" between EPO/Marinakis and the Undersecretary of Sports Stavros Kontonis continues. Yesterday a meeting between Kontonis, EPO and UEFA/FIFA was held in Athens, which did not produce any results. FIFA's representative at the meeting was the head of the Cypriot FA. Of interest is the fact a relative of his is involved in the 2011 Koriopolis scandal. Go figure. EPO/marinakis sticks to it's position, that government is meddling in their affairs by cancelling the cup, and that's why they involved FIFA in the matter and took the matter to the supreme court. They refuse to engage in any negotiations with the government to resolve the issue. FIFA says if the cup does not resume, Greece faces punishment by the international federation, but refuses to even listen to the charges of corruption in Greek soccer. Kontonis says that the cup will resume as long as people that have been charged with criminal wrongdoing resign from their posts. The government also refuses to back down from cancelling the cup competition. In other words each side is playing their game. Let's see if and when somebody backs down. The next milestone is the decision by the supreme court considering EPO's request to make the governments decision unlawful. The decision should be made next week. In the meantime the Greek press is now in a Grexit hysteria phase, even though FIFA did not mention what the punishment might be.

Chatziisaias is taking part in full practices and might be available for Sunday's game.

5,592 the official attendance for the game.

And Moras, who is at fault on the goal.

Attempts on goal are 15-5 in favor of Iceland

And almost 2:4

2:3

This game could have easily been 3:5 right now. Iceland the superior team on the field. Tzavallas in for Siovas

Starting this Sunday all games start at the same time (19:00 Greek Time), which means coverage will spotty. Antenna Satellite/Pacific will televise two games live, switching from one to the other depending on the action. Those games are: Panathinaikos - Veroia Panionios - PAOK Sport Plus will show all 4 games it has rights to, but only one game will be live: Olympiakos - Panthrakikos - Live Kalloni - AEK - Delayed at 13:30 CDT Atromitos - Panaitolikos, Delayed at 15:30 CDT Iraklis - Tripoli, delayed at 17:30 CDT All games will be televised live in Greece on Nova Sport. if you want full details, send me a pm and I will give you a link to my TV Schedule page.

PAE PAOK filed an appeal with EPO concerning the fines in the PAOK - Olympiakos cup game. The hope is that the 5 point deduction will become 3 points. Also, since PAOK does not have the right for an appeal in the two game against Kalloni and Panionios, they have asked the EPO prosecutor to intervene and overturn the punishment, since the fines were for lighting up flares, and this season not a single team has been punished for this action. In other words the punishment was selectively enforced.

Dimitriadis scored two goals for the U-19 NT in EURO qualifying game against Georgia.

Savvidis is thinking of creating TV channel to televise PAOK games:

Started to watch the game on Laola, but could not stand to watch the whole game. Pathetic. if can't beat Albania and lose to Israel at home, you have no right to speak about qualifying from this group.

UEFA/FIFA never came out spelling what the exact consequences will be. All they did was sent a warning that there will be some if the cup competition is not played.
