Match will probably be postponed as refs are thinking about a strike after Papapetrou (and his wife, kids and father) was threatened by some individuals after the Volos-Gavro game. 

[Brklyngrk]

Refs announced a strike pending improved working conditions...

[Blackhawk]

Who threatened them? It's obvious it's the same people that beat up Tzilos few years ago in larisa. Even though the police has the names of the 4 people that took part in the beating, nobody has been arrested yet. And they will never be arrested for obvious reasons. 

The refs can strike all they want. Nothing will change.

[Dutch Eagle]

Officials postponed. Probably played one week later. Usually like this in Greece.

[Blackhawk]

Wrong topic Dutchman

[Dutch Eagle]

Oops

[pash]

Now that Dutchy's outburst has been contained:

Looks like the refs are saying they won't come back until there are changes. What they think will change, I don't know. This could be a while.

[Blackhawk]

The government is stepping in and has plans to stop any sporting even in Greece until the end of the year. That will solve all the problems (NOT!!!).

[pash]

As in they'd try to stop the Helsinki match? Mad sus.

[paokarag4]

I don't think they can stop European competitions, they don't have that jurisdiction. It would be domestic football. As we know that won't solve anything and really how many match days were left this year, 2-3?

[Dutch Eagle]

They can actually, but they won't.

Don't provide security and a police presence and the game gets cancelled by UEFA

[pash]

There was a lot of talk about this a few years ago. UEFA will come down hard on the host country if they just refuse to let a game happen. Like, VERY hard. But ultimately, UEFA is not the government; they have no way to force anyone to do anything.

But, long story short, it's probably a moot point - we may be playing behind closed doors:

Game back on for this Sunday at 17:30 EET. 

Refs are still threatening to boycott.

[Dutch Eagle]

Let them boycott the games. 

Plus if games are scheduled we must forget to close the taps if we water the pitch. Otherwise all homematches against POK will be with no fans. Must delay games ?

[Dutch Eagle]

 

No Andrija and no Taison.

[paokarag4]

Always a tough game in Tripoli, and they have been in solid form lately and find themselves 6th. Far from the game you want Taison and Zivkovic missing. Opportunity for Konstantelias to really take over and run the game with those 2 out. Will be a tough one that's for sure. 

[pash]

Here's the lineup. Taison in particular seems to be our talisman, not great that he won't play - but we have to learn to start playing well without him, ya know?

[Dutch Eagle]

Great header Koulierakis, great save of their keeper too. 

[Blackhawk]

Murg 1:0

[Dutch Eagle]

Goooooaaaaal Murrrrrggggggg: 0-1

[Dutch Eagle]

VAR check

[Dutch Eagle]

Counts.
