Cimirot hasn't been great, and putting Prijo in gives us more weapons in set pieces, which we've had plenty of...I don't mind this move, honestly.

Why does the phrase "Ekseretiki Apemvasi" have to be said 100 times during all our matches? Why do goalies always have monster games against us?

I hear ya....but if you fall on an anti-gun doctor? Who doesn't believe anyone should have a gun, and won't issue certificates? Who appoints which doctors are "certified" to issue these certificates? Currently in Massachusetts it is at the discretion of each city or towns Chief of Police to issue a gun license. Some towns won't issue to anyone for any reason, others will issue to whoever. I know people who moved from their town to be sure they can renew their permit when a new Chief of police is appointed. There is usually a meeting with an issuing officer. All applications must be submitted with a certificate of taking a gun saftey class. Let's say they implemented a mental health check to this process, and 2 years later a guy who passed that requirement goes on a spree? Then what? What about if you are currently a gun owner and are too scared to talk to your doctor about some recent depression or anxiety, because you know that they have the power to take your permit away? You'll have guys going untreated for conditions that could have been addressed with therapy or medication.

Ante tora na kseboukosoume....

First we have to agree that not every problem has a black and white solution or any REAL solution at all. I don't disagree that there should be measures taken to make it harder for certain individuals to get a gun. (Much to the displeasure of most of my more fanatical pro-gun friends). My issue is WHO do you get to implement these measures? The Federal govt? Perhaps the most incompetent entity around? Let's not forget, the shooter from the church shooting SHOULDN'T have been able to buy any weapons, but the Federal Gov dropped the ball on reporting his history. The current regulations in place should have prevented that (in theory, because realistically he could have just bought guns illegally and still carried out the shooting). I don't pretend to have the answers, I don't but like I said before, let's talk about as many variables involved as possible. As let's try to limit the amount of misinformation spread.

Now we'll deflate and play like s%$#!.

hahahaahha only us.

Matos is a stud....One of the few players that plays with the PAOK passion.

Seems pretty offensive strategy wise so far.

Show me some regulations that could have prevented the mass shootings, and we can discuss it from there. At this point nothing brought up would have affected any of them and are mostly reactionary. Not ever in history was there a bump stock used in a shooting, but NOW they're a problem. If they were outlawed before, would it have stopped what happened? No. He would have tossed a rubberband on the rifle and accomplished the same exact thing. Comparing other countries is wreckless. Comparing countries like Australia that have a pretty similar land mass, with less than 10% it's populationI, a whole different set of socio-economic issues, etc isn't comparing apples to apples.Is the population as over medicated as Americans? Is it even legal to advertise prescription medication on TV in some other countries? Is there such a huge financial incentive for doctors to get you on as many meds as possible, as it is in the US? Was pretty much every offender of mass shooting either mentally unstable, on meds or recently off meds? How many of the example countries are bordered with countries like Mexico, where you can basically run as many illegal guns (or anything else for that matter) into the country as your heart desires? I'm not saying I'm not open to discussion, but let's have a broader discussion and take more variables into account. I understand guns aren't for everyone. I was never really into guns until I got into my late 20's and thank God that I did. A lot of people like to scoff at the reference to the second amendment, the Constitution, and like to knit pick at certain imperfections in it, but the fact of the matter is there is a certain brilliance to it, and the foresight the creators of it had is amazing. I didn't mean to offend with the "circle jerk" comment, but more often than not liberals take this condescending tone in most matters, as if anyone who doesn't agree with all their view points are just ignorant/stupid/racist/sexist/inbred/etc and that rubs me the wrong way. I'm not super conservative...I'm also not a Trump guy. Doesn't mean I believe EVERYTHING he backs is nonsense.

I think Vieirinha could be a very Matos-esque player in the back there....Koulouris I don't mind in there, I think he can score given the same looks Prijovic gets. I hope Campos shows up to play,,,

I'm not avoiding anything. Instead of back and forth, and what I believe to be OK or not, I figure I'd help educate you a little bit on the topic you brought up (Bump Stocks) since it is the latest Buzz Word in the media. I just don't like the oversimplification of complex issues.

What's painfully obvious is people's ignorance. Bump fire is a technique that's existed before the invention of bump stocks, that was my point. You can actually do it with a regular rubber band...or nothing at all. You can even do it with handguns. This isn't some crazy secret...it's been common knowledge for decades. Now that YOU heard about it, its the new buzzword for the sheep to regurgitate, meanwhile anyone who's known anything about guns in the last 20 years is laughing. Kinda like USA Today showing the AR-15 chainsaw attachment...I wonder how many people think that's an actual thing.

...and everyone continues to BEG US to take the championship....let's see if we poop our pants ONCE AGAIN tomorrow.

We need a guy with speed and ball control....we already have a slow lump that needs to be served a goal on a platter.

Bump firing has existed for YEARS before "Bump Stocks" existed...it's actually EXTREMELY simple to accomplish. My main issue is the misinformation and fear mongering that is spread my the left and the media. At the same time, pretty much any "common sense gun restrictions" wouldn't have prevented any of the mass shootings. Period. Also, the fact the no one want's to talk about the mental health issues at the root of 90% of these shootings and the over-medicated population in the USA, ESPECIALLY on anti-depressants and anxiety medications, is also pretty frustrating. I actually regret Trump referencing Mental Health in reference to the mass shooting in response to that bulgy eyed broad in S. Korea...because it somehow takes away any validation the point has because everything he says is immediately discounted.

You're Welcome. Let's be honest.... Nothing either side says will change the other sides mind...so why even waste our breath.

Comparing Australia and USA as far as gun laws/bans go is like comparing apples to orangutans. Plus, as with most things that have to do with statistics...you can usually find studies to support either side of an argument...most people are programmed to just believe what they want to believe. I'll just leave a couple of my favorite phrases here in closing: "ΜΟΛΟΝ ΛΑΒΕ" and "...Shall NOT be infringed." I'm not here for a debate, but this uber liberal circle jerk in basically every thread is hysterical. As a person who is alive today because of his legal gun ownership, you guys can kick rocks with your "who needs a gun" argument. I did, I had it, and my 3 kids still have a father.

Looks like Biseswar and Araoujo got 3 game suspensions each.

Can we make a starting 11 of players we've loaned/got rid of, or close to it? If so, who believes THAT line-up would beat our current lineup? lol.

I hate to say games are "must win" ... but this one really is. Not for points or Championship, but for the teams psychology. If they don't win the fans will turn on the team BAD, the players will be completely deflated and the coach will be......the same as he has been all season, indifferent.

Is it just me or does Aggelo look like and older version of Zagorakis? lol

I disagree with the statement that we're playing decent. I haven't seen a decent game yet. Some of the obvious mistakes Lucescu has made is: 1. Not starting Biseswar. Everyone and teir grandmother can see the impact he makes the second he steps on the pitch. We all know he can't last 90 minutes but he should be there for the first 70, to set the pace and organize the game with the starters while they're fresh. Not for the last 20 minutes when everyone is already tired and frustrated. Instead, he jams El Kaddouri down our throats when he is obviously not ready or able to perform the role we need. 2. Highly questionable substitutions. I won't get into specifics, but leaving Zambrano in yesterday is just the most recent....but he makes bonehead moves in almost every match. 3. Not playing Pelkas more. The kid is showing improvement and passion, which is seriously lacking in the team right now. 4. Sticking with Leovac. The guy is clearly not in the form he was in last year, and there's a hungry youngster just waiting to get in there and prove himself, and has performed in almost every chance he's gotten. I blame the general passive attitude of the team on the manager as well. If a manager can't get the best out of his players, it's on him. You can't just dump that all on the players. If you have the most talented roster in the league (allegedly) and are losing points from the worse teams in the league, then you're not utilizing the tools you have properly.

The problems are very simple. The coach is a joke. An absolute pathetic joke. You don't chase a championship by shopping for coaches in the middle of the table of your current league. NOMOS Prijovic is proving to be an absolute worthless sack of crap. Worse than Klaus. He completely missed the ball twice, like a rookie. He has zero presence in a match and his only claim to fame is getting a perfectly crossed ball, and heading it. Very Klaus-esque, because he has no other skills, he's prone for droughts. Besides Pelkas, Vieirinha, Biseswar and Matos (and Mauricio, but only the last couple matches) we have zero talent or personality on this team. I would say Zambrano too, but he showed his lack of maturity or professionalism today. The team is in really rough shape with little to no chance of any worthy improvements in the near future. AEK has shown that they deserve the Championship more than us so far. It's going to be funny that AEK came up from Gamma Ethniki and wins a cup, a Championship and goes to the groups satges (and with a little luck even further) while we sat for 5 years and did nothing but waste money, and stroke each others ego. The team has had no identity since Savvidis took over. No consistency, no passion, and no balls. The last 2 USED to be what we stood for, but now we're just a bunch of chumps who switch our entire roster every 2 years and coaches every 4 months.
