I liked the fact that laola1 had just the stadium sound and no announcers. All the chants could be heard very clearly. If we relied on nova sports coverage they would suppress the sound from the fans. Still not sold on the Laola type coverage for PAOK home games. As it is I missed the first 20 minutes when the signal was not available. Unfortunately with this scenario we can't be guaranteed we will not miss any action. Also it will be interesting to see if they allow Laola to show the rest of the home games. There is only one big home game remaining (Panathinaikos), so it is quite possible that might be the last game available on Laola. I wonder how much PAOK pays Laola to show the games. BTW Laola is not available in Albania, Cyprus and Greece, because Nova Sports has direct rights for Superleague games in those countries.

The troubles at the start of the 2nd half were caused by the German fans. Still don't understand how they smuggled the stuff into the stadium. I guess we have not learned our lesson from the Rapid game. The 3-year UEFA probation should have ended in August, so we probably don't face a European ban. Otherwise we were looking at 1-year ban.

Tziolis was the MVP for PAOK. Tzavellas had a great 2nd half as well. Olsen made some key saves, but also screwed the team with the cheap goal, although blame could also be placed on Rodrigues who had a poor game. After the game some idiot fans from gate 4 stormed the field and tried to make their way to gat8 to start fights with the German fans. Expect a heavy punishment from UEFA.

Not a bad result. Could have easily ended in a blowout win for Dortmund. Too bad the other game did not finish in a tie as well. STANDINGS: 1. Dortmund 4 2. Krasnodar 3 3. PAOK 2 4. Qabala 1 The next two games against Krasnodar (home/away) are crucial concerning our chances of qualifying.

We need to keep the tie as Krasnodar is beating Qabala 2:1

Major save by Olsen to keep it 1:1

It was only a matter of time the way they were pressing us.

Good save by Olsen. But cheap goal minute later 1:1

BTW Krasnodar - Qabala 1;1 so far in the other game of the group.

German fans in gate 8 started fires and throwing flares. How the hell did they get that stuff into the stadium through security?

Tziolis and Konstantinidis our best players so far. Dortmund is very dangerous on set pieces. Hopefully we can take the pressure in the 2nd half and punish them on counters. We will need to play a good defensive game.

Great assist by Tziolis on the goal. We need to control the pace little bit better. Defensively Dortmund is not that strong as they are pressing very high. need to rely on counters.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool Mak

We are having serious problems in midfield letting the Germans controlling the pace quite easily. We are having difficulties getting into their zone. One big save by Olsen so far.

Let's go PAOK. Sounds like a good atmosphere at Toumba. Links anyone?

Our yellow friends took some time from their busy schedule in Gamma Ethniki to show their complex last night in Thessaloniki:

Vitor will most likely play tomorrow.

Heard a rumor PAE PAOK might offer a free stream of the game for people outside of Greece. Hope that is the case.

Looks like Tudor prefers Konstantinidis these days. He tried Kitsiou on left side, but he performed poorly there. As it is Rodrigues has been quite good there in the last few games. I think Kitsiou will play when Konstantinidis needs rest and/or gets injured/red carded.

That's why he is thinking of starting Sabo.

Vitor is game day decision. Most likely Malezas will play. That's who Tudor tried at defense today. Also, instead of Pelkas he was trying Sabo, which would point to this lineup: ------------------------ Olsen ----------------------- ---- Costa --------- Malezas --- Tzavellas --- Konstantinidis - Kace - Tziolis - Rodrigues --------- Sabo ----------------------- Mak -------- ---------------------- Berbatov --------------------

Not the case. AEK beat Derby County 3:2 back in 1977 and PAOK beat Tottenham 2:1 couple years ago. In any case this is a big win for Olympiakos.

About 1,200 Dortmund fans will be at Toumba. They will be placed in Gate 8. They will be bussed to Toumba from the White Tower, where they are supposed to meet. Let's hope they do a more thorough search than they did with the Rapid Vienna fans few years ago.The approximately 20 Aris fans that claim to be from the Borussia Dortmund Fan Club in Greece will be watching the game from the VIP section at Toumba.
