Don't really need one.

Gordeziani scored the first goal for Georgia U21 against Gibraltar. Final score 2:0.

PAOK - Racing Union 6:1 Four goals by Melval and one each for Vardali and Papadopoulou. Final game of the group on Saturday at 19:00 EEST against the home team SKN St. Pölten Frauen

Beos at his best. Instead of rotting in jail he is a mayor of a large city and owner of a professional team.

As far as I can tell they are still showing games as they list Novasports channels on their web page, which would mean that the home games of these teams are being televised: PAOK Aris PAS Giannina Asteras Tripolis Atrpomitos Panserraikos I suppose you can get one week subscription for 7.50 Euro to check it out and make sure.

Yeah but it would have been great going into the break with 9 points and then welcome our town rivals at Toumba after the break.

We never had a chance to win this match as we did not create any scoring chances. As usual in one of the counter attacks they score. Game over. Needless to say we should have had a penalty kick in 1st half, and OFI should have played with 10 players from the middle of the first half. The way we played though we did not deserve to win this one.

0:0 half time We hardly created any chances to score. OFI had three decent chances. At least 1 red card should have been given to OFI players.

OFI coming close twice to score. We need to improve passing game.

Let's see how lucky we are with our new white jerseys.

1:1 final score. Agrinio snatched a point in injury time.

Despotov is apparently done deal. He's coming to Thessaloniki tomorrow. 3.5 mil to Ludogorets, 1 mil contract for 4 years.

Looks like the Greek national team officials and coaches are back at their old tricks, where call ups are based on who controls EPO and who the player agents want to be called up. For that reason Poyet has not called up the player that is at his top form lately and is one of the biggest Greek talents. I am talking of course about Konstantelias who was not called up for the two upcoming games against Holland and Gibraltar. Koulierakis was the only PAOK player called up, but I am certain that he will sit on the bench, so 35-year old Tzavellas can get a start.

Final number for season tickets for this season: 11,120 Last season we sold 10,058 so a slight increase in numbers.

So no Ozdoev again in the away game against Aberdeen. This will be the 2nd time we will face Eintrach Frankfurt. They eliminated us 4:5 on penalty kicks back in 1981 in Cup Winners Cup. 0:2 away, 2:0 at Toumba.

The top seeded club. That's why we needed to be among the top 8 in the seedings.
