Gregão runnin' wild, I see.

[Godescalco]

"Gregão."



So funny...and so true.

[Covenant]

Is a even more crazy version of our Football. It's like 90's here

"Gregão."



So funny...and so true.

Not really a term that required a lot of imagination, though. It was a matter of time until someone came up with it.

[Godescalco]

Yes, Festivus.

But it was you who eventually said it first. Συγχαρητήρια!

PAOK suggested again that there should be foreign referees in greece.

This idea has been knocking around for years in Greece. There is a slim chance this might become a reality as the Super league is now without a president and deputy..

[Festivus]

Dunno about that. They are as corrupt as local refs.

We talked about that in here as well. It faded with time that option.

Foreign referees can be corrupt as well.

As a short term measure it can work but as a long term measure it is an insult to a given country's football organization.

Exactly. Foreign refs is just trying to get around the problem without actually fixing it. The problem is, football is rotten to the core, with UEFA and especially FIFA being very corrupt, so it's hard to make a change. Goal line technology was only used for the first time in fucking 2014, for God's sake.

I agree ^^

Today's news:

Football cancelled this weekend, all leagues.

The EPO has made contact with no coach to replace Ranieri..clearly they just concentrating on trying to hold on to their high paid jobs this week.

The presidents of PAO PAOK and AEK have joined forces to fix football and remove the 'Junta.'

Elefthopoulos, the former Oly keeper and manager of Panionios has asked Melissanidis to leave him out of his rants and not to mention him again. He also said Greek football is clinically dead.

[Faliro]

AEK and PAO are best friends now, until they remove Olympiakos from the picture..

They decided to play a friendly today. Curious to where they got the referee from..

AEK beat PAO 3-2..  AEK's best midfielder Mantalos picked up a nasty injury too.

How accurate is this? Discuss.

[Faliro]

Just as I thought, the ref for the AEK PAO friendly game was acting illegally. He has a apologized.. no refs were allowed to work last weekend.
