[Blackhawk]

Greek Cup rules state that we must have 2 players eligible to play for the Greek National Team born after January 2004. It will be interesting to see which youngsters get to play tomorrow. I would throw in Monstirlis in goal and Mythou on offense. 

[Blackhawk]

Squad for the game:

[pash]

Say what you will about Lisci - he is UNPREDICTABLE.

 

[Blackhawk]

Kind of surprised he did not start Monstirlis. I also did not expect to see Ugresic get a start so soon.

[italosPAOK4]

nikh giati to xrwstame apo persi

[pash]

Considering our defensive problems, perhaps he wants to see if there's some home-grown value there.

[Blackhawk]

Big chance by Ugresic.

[Blackhawk]

Shoretire in for Santamaria

[pash]

What a scramble for the goal. Will it stand??

[Dutch Eagle]

Goal Shoretire just before HT but cancelled. Mythou is supposed to have fouled the keeper.  

[pash]

Rain delay?!

[Dutch Eagle]

Looks like it. Stands have emptied. And they predict thunder etc. 

[Blackhawk]

This game will end at 2 am in the morning.

[Dutch Eagle]

Looks like we are resuming. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Match reminds me off the match I attended in the 1990/1991 season. A bright day. As the match started it started raining cats and dogs. And it was a boring 0-0 and after the final whistle the sun came back.

[Dutch Eagle]

We started this second half very well. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Ball is sticking sometimes because of the tons of water on the pitch. Espescially on the side were the benches are.

[Dutch Eagle]

Ndiaye and Chatsidis subbed in. Taison and Zivkovic subbed out. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Last subs. Ali and Camara coming on for Mythou and Ugresic. 

[pash]

Taylor probably gonna be sent off after review 

[pash]

Yup he's out. No big loss tbh. Maybe we can now sell him to Celtic

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Taylor but VAR. And it is now a red one.

[Dutch Eagle]

FT. 0-0. Bad wheater conditions prevented us from goals I think.

And a clean sheet for the keeper and defenders is always nice though OFI was very poor in the offence.

[Blackhawk]

Unless we win all three remaining games I don't see us making the top 4. Hopefully we at least finish between 5-8 so we can play at home in the playoff round.
