The famous ?Litsas? game with very pro-Panathinaikos officiating. Litsas disallowed two clear PAOK goals and did no call a penalty on Kostikos. At the end of the game, when the score was 0:2, Litsas awards PAOK a penalty kick. The fans demand that Orfanos miss the penalty kick on purpose, and he does by kicking a weak shot to the middle of the goal straight to the goalie.  

 

Orfanos shoots a weak shot straight on Konstantinou in protest.

There is still a chance to claim the top spot in the playoffs, but for that to happen we need to win tomorrow and not lose at Leoforo on Sunday. Highly unlikely in my opinion. We need to focus and finishing second, which leads directly to the group stage of Europa League.

[Serraios]

honestly don't know what to say about these next two games. If we give Berg the space we have the last few encounters he could get hat-tricks in both games.

I hope for a win but not holding my breath. 

[pash]

Giving opposing players space is something of a strong suit for us.

[Bananas]

Sad to say but I expect a draw, or at best, an uninspiring 1 goal win where we ride our luck.

[italosPAOK4]

if we get the victory there is still hope, so PAOK players play the ball of your life time !

[Barcelona4]

We need to win this.

[Bajewy]

annnnd we're down one.

[pash]

Classic PAOK. Tuned in right after, a few half-chances right before the blank. Thank you for the link Barca

[pash]

Pereyra and Klaus coming on at half time. For Dpaps and Pozoglou. Come on boys!

[pash]

Nice attempt by Kitsiou, there's the guy I liked so much last season...

[pash]

Klaus injured, Koulouris coming in

[pash]

That's game. We're such a goddamn mess.

[italosPAOK4]

mpoulo oi perissoteroi kai xtisimo omadas apo thn arxh.

[Original 21]

Hey on the bright side Berg didn't score on you this time

[Pan0s]

Didn't have the chance to watch the match today. So disappointed by the result. Playing well or not, one way or the other they had to win this match. It is hard to believe that this is the same squad as in December last year. Everything got ruined. We need (again) a full restart at all levels.

[Serraios]

yeap 100% agree Panos. time to start from scratch. there needs to be a massive clean out at seasons end.

[Yiankos]

[Bananas]

Can't say I'm surprised.  PAO is an ok team, but we are much worse.  Disjointed and unbalanced.  Looking forward to losing in Athens.

[Bananas]

PAOK's over drive button doesn't work.  It's been malfunctioning since 1985.  It briefly (for some unknown reason) splutters briefly to life whenever we play Olympiakos and then just dims out again.

[pash]

This is true. Hopefully our new TD will start to right the ship. That and out buddy Jackie-boy.

 

Garcia and Lino returning as anything other than scouts, makes me nervous.

[italosPAOK4]

Garcia and Lino returning as anything other than scouts, makes me nervous.

 

that's the only way

[pash]

And it might even be a good idea!

 

It's entirely possible that Garcia, at least, will throw a fit and get kicked out.

[Bananas]

I don't understand what's the reason...With more money invested than PAO the last 3 years, PAO is getting stronger with less money invested...That probably indicates PAOKs front office needs a chance.

Savvidis should start hiring outsiders from the country to manage the team, anyone associate with PAOK the past 30 years, should not be considered...Start a new blood line!!!

 

The reason is we keep hiring average managers.  Donis and Anastasiadis are fine if you want to come 2nd to 4th.  To become considerably better, we need a better manager.  We tried to do the right thing with Huub but it didn't work out.

 

At the end of the day the only decent managers we've had in the last 15 years are Bajevic and Santos.  And they did well despite having no transfer budget and constant money problems.

You could throw Boloni in there too, impressed me from a limited sample.
