  1. @Blackhawk - great job following up on this for everyone's benefit. I realized something was up when I could not view Sunday's game on Laola1 ... So that service is about to get canceled! 

    Totally agree I would pay the E80 or more for a season pass online, but no PAOK home games is nuts. I don't even understand how they PAE can work a separate TV deal like that ... I mean, is that even an advantage? Wouldn't you want Greek fans to be able to watch your games?

    Hopefully they come up with a streaming deal soon before too much of the season goes by ... I like the idea of a long-term solution.

  2. This discussion about the Greek SL's place among European leagues is pointless.

    Consider this2014 Average Wages by League

    Greece ranked 21st with an average player wage of 145,000 Pounds Sterling. That;s almost equal to THE MLS. Let that sink in for a moment. Hold it... hold it... Also, Exhibits "A"-"D"

    A-The 12 "smaller" clubs in our league have no money to develop, or pay for talent. 

    B-TV revenue for the clubs has gotten worse not better.

    C-at least half of the stadiums are ancient, have low capacity, and terrible attendance. 

    D-The league DID NOT HAVE A CORPORATE SPONSOR IN 2015/16. Think about that. No one wanted to assocaite themselves with the SL. That's about 1 mil euros per club in lost sponsorship revenue. 

    It's all about money. So long as we are in a recession, our league (from top to bottom) is a shell of its former self from 2000-2008. Accept the realities, hope for a better tomorrow with meaningful changes in the EPO, SL, KED. Then we can become competitive top to bottom and send teams to Europe to rattle the big boy's cages.

    p.s. 

    Can anyone name a bigger clown at the helm of a major football club than Gigi Becali? I mean, Steaua is a former European champion! I feel bad that Hatzi has to deal with this crap because he is a solid player than can become pretty good with playing time and good coaching. I hope the transfer happens and he gets 20-30 games under his belt. 

    Looks like Alvaro basically said no f-ing way he's going to Greece. Frankly, I don't think we need 4 strikers. Klaus-Facundo-Koulouris rotation is fine by me - remember, our biggest problem the last two years has not been finishing, it's been getting that through ball in the final third of the pitch to even get in a  scoring position! I think the new additions make our offensive output better just by being able to get the ball in the 18-yd box.

  3. A couple things ... First, I'm amped this game is on Laola1.tv and I hope it means the contract extended to this season as it's the only reliable way for me (in the US) to watch (home) games without buying a satellite dish.

     

    Second, I'm surprised Pelkas gets left off the squad. He played well in all the friendlies, and this is a game we may need to score a couple of goals.

     

    Third, we have to accept the fact Pereyra can only play striker, and he's relatively good at that spot, so basically he is a role player who will get spot starts. 

     

    Finally, if Rodriguez doesn't have his head in the game from the start, Ivic better put Mystakidis in at half. When Rodriguez is at his worst, he kills possessions.
