Original Sydney Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Pretty s%$#! we wont have the AEK PAOK and PAO players here for the Sydney match, but been told they may be here for the 2nd match in Melbourne. Players leave 31st May for Australia
Akritis_1944 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 No surprises the players like Sokratis and Mitroglou were cut. They've had long seasons so can do without the hassle I'm guessing. I said this scenario was going to happen weeks ago and I'm pretty sure OlympicHellas said the same. Expect an announcement from EPO claiming that these players have "injuries".
Akritis_1944 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 OriginalSyd there aren't any PAO players in the squad so that won't be a factor. Disappointed that Fortounis and Pelkas also not coming. I would have loved to watch both of them run rings around Mooy. Also agree with Amorgos that Ninis should have been in the touring party. You can't go forward with Tziolis and Moras.
Original Sydney Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Akritis thanks mate didn't realise there were no PAO players, but that's what I have been told in regards to the players from the guy who runs Galanolefkos Faros (Greek supporter group) also said players are leaving Greece 31st May so it really does count out the players involved in playoffs as the last game is currently scheduled for 31st May
Akritis_1944 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Mantalos and Bakaseta not playing is disappointing. I've got to drive 3 hours to watch Tziolis? ????
Original Sydney Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 There were 7 but 2 got chopped so its the ones Amo has mentioned above, ela re Akritis you make it out like its bad to drive 3 hours to see Tziolis hahahah But from what the guy told me he reckons they may come out for the Melb match 1
ausgreek Posted May 20, 2016 Author Posted May 20, 2016 Skibbe scared to lose with full compliment. Ange would show him up. Good move for his reputation. Has an excuse. Not going out there now.
Akritis_1944 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Actually Tziolis won't be playing so I can't really complain.
Akritis_1944 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Lol. I'm from Sydney. Marrickville to be exact but since moving to Canberra I don't miss Sydney all that much. 1
Original Sydney Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 The old hood M'Ville the 2204 lol My shop is opening there next week
Akritis_1944 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Cool man. Good luck with it. Yeah 2204 is burnt in to my memory. 1
Original Sydney Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks brother appreciate it!!! I lived a suburb away in the 2206 Earlwood but grew up a lot in M'Ville as parent had businesses there....
Akritis_1944 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 I was never far Marrickville, Earlwood and Dulwich Hill. Those areas still feel like home. 1
Original Sydney Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Could never leave these areas man grew up here and cant ever see myself leaving......
Original Sydney Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Ok latest, there is a cruise happening for the Greek team here but media only, there is also an after party happening, but guest list is needed, thankfully I am on it :) Also Belmore has been mentioned for training but not confirmed.
ausgreek Posted May 20, 2016 Author Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) You kidding me Akriti?? I'm originally from Marrickville and Dulwich Hill re! Duli High na poume. That Frappe coffee lounge in Earlwood is da'bomb too. I get there with Andoni sometimes. Haha. Edited May 20, 2016 by ausgreek
J1078 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Am I wrong to think we should be playing our team that we plan to field in the WC qualifiers? Shouldn't we use these games as preparation for what we think our starting line up will look like and try to build a game plan and some consistency with the players?? So far I'm very disappointed and pissed at Skibbe and he's selections so far.. WTF does he think he's all of a sudden going to field a line up that he hasn't got to work with at the W/C qualifiers and we are going to be successful?
J1078 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Our first game in the campaign is just over a few months away, we should be using these games to prepare ourselves, no more call ups, no more experimenting to such a wide margin, a little tinkering is okay, and enough call ups like Tziolis and garbage players. Let's stick with our core players that we know we will field and tinker with a few sub options and that's it. Why do the Greek coaches and company have to make things so difficult. We are not dismantling the entire team.

Akritis_1944 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Announced about an hour ago on Twitter that Sokratis will now be coming to Australia. It will be awesome to see such a wirld class player running around on the cow paddock formerly known as the Sydney Olympic Stadium.
Akritis_1944 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 I can't see why he'd bother coming if he's not to play. I'll be happy to see him play 90 minutes in Sydney. He can then sit out the Melbourne match.
