When will we know what channels will broadcast this game?

[Dutch Eagle]

Rijeka just lost against Osijek in the Croatian League. They now have 7 points after 4 matches (2W-1D-1L).

Hopefully it’s better than last weeks debacle. The game froze every 3 minutes and I had to reset the link

[Blackhawk]

Had no problem with PAOK TV last week. Actually had a better picture than the OPEN TV web stream. the only issue was they had not time/score showing in the first half. They fixed that in the second half.

[PAOKSYD]

Wont happen, but I would love to see Lyratzis start on the right side...

Interesting, for Pash and I it kept cutting off

[Blackhawk]

Our goalie backup Zivkovic was cut from tomorrow's game. Instead Talichmanidis will be Paschalakis's backup. 

My lineup for tomorrow:

------------- Paschalakis ------------
Rodrigo - Varela - Crespo - Vieirinha
----- Schwab --------- Kurtic -------
Zivkovic --- Biseswar --- El Kaddouri
------------ Swiderski -------------

[Dutch Eagle]

Like your lineup!

[Blackhawk]

Well let's hope we can take a comfortable win to Croatia next week. 2:0 result would be great!

[PAOKSYD]

I greek only in the line up.... crazy times for greek football. 

[italosPAOK4]

katharh nikh kai prokrish pame omadara !

Lineup is exactly what you'd assume:

Άντε πάλι με τον Ελ Καντουρί στα πλάγια..

As expected. El Kaddouri on the left, it's more difficult to give his best (better on the center). Probably cutting inside several times. At least criterion and vision to find the spaces.

[paokara777]

"Ohh paokara exo trela" is my favourite PAOK chant i think

[Blackhawk]

Unbelievable save by Paschalakis

[paokara777]

very good save from pasxalakis but our defending looks terrible

[Dutch Eagle]

Paschalakis saves us after that deflected shot.

[Dutch Eagle]

Rodrigo injured. Lucas Taylor to replace him.

[Dutch Eagle]

Damn 0-1. Paschalakis to blame. Biseswar too.
