Colak and Esiti subbed in for Schwab and Douglas.

That was dive of Tzolis after he was kicked several times before that.

Penalty for us.

Hit the post with his knee. Does not look good. Wagué out and Garcia subs Crespo in. WTF?

Wagué clears of the line but is hurting himself at the post.

Douglas must be subbed out immediately. He is playing with fire.

Swiderski just wide.

Who is the VAR? Is that a Dutchie or a Greek? To me it was no penalty but ok I am a PAOKtzis. Our yellows were yellows. No doubt. But Douglas needs to be subbed out. Murg would be my pick.

Great effort Schwab. But the keeper saves.

1-0 behind.

But I think Paschalakis has the ball.

Penalty for them

Great pass Giannoulis. Swiderski just missed it.

And yellow Tsingaras.

Pfffff. Crossbar Gama

VAR was intended to be a support for the ref to help him with moments that a person can miss during the game. Like the handball of Thierry Henry for France against the Republic of Ireland. Or clear offside or onside like our awaygame with PSV as the goal should have been counted (that one between our goals). But now they are looking with computers that have lines from everywhere and take minutes to see whether it is 0.004 cm offside. I hate that. They should give advantage to the forward if it is so difficult to see of it is offside. I would like it to be like the system of “goal or no goal” Below you see 4 balls. First three are no goal. Even the third ball is no goal. Why should a toenail further be offside? Especially when you can’t see it without consulting all technology for minutes. Another big issue is the difference of refs and VAR’s. One thinks it is a penalty or red card while another ref or VAR think it is not or just yellow. And that with using the same VAR-system. That is confusing. For players and fans.

He is isn’t even mentioned being left out of the squad. What is going on with him?

Carefull, Chris! The figures are a trap. Till the 16/17 season you also got 20% of the country coëfficiënt. And those days not only PAOK and the gavro but also other clubs collected some points as they weren't eliminated in the qualifiers like last seasons So we had 9,160 that 16/17 season. From 17/18 the 20% were cut leaving 8,000 for the same 16/17 season. You better compare the position. The conclusion: our highest position was after the 17/18 season: #49.

Odysseas Velanas, a 22 year old midfielder, of FC Utrecht B scored today in the match against Excelsior in the Dutch second tier called Eerste Divisie or for sponsorships reasons Keuken Kampioen Divisie. Velanas originates from Samos and has Dutch and Greek citizenship. He played in the U17, U18 and U19 of the Netherlands.

One game indeed : https://inpaok.com/667908/ektiei-o-el-kantouri/

Diego Maradona has a topic of his own but there a few more Heroes that are no more. Nobby Stiles, 78 years, died on October 30th; Ray Clemence, 72 years, on November 15th; Pape Bouma Diop, 42 years, on November 29th Paolo Rossi, 64 years, on December 9th. Glad we can see their skills and moments of fame on Youtube.
