Yes, it finished to today.  They have been playing them the last two weeks.

So that means that there is no really advantage in finishing in 2nd when compared to finishing in 5th?

That is stupid, alright. It also makes the league less interesting.

Literally the moment Olympiacos win the league - all that a few people wait for is the play-offs.. also means all that hard work to get to second place is meaningless too.. you get like a 2 point advantage in the play-offs..

Why doesn't the Hellenic Football Association end that madness?

Because they are under no pressure to do the right thing. AEK, PAOK and PAO are useless and they love the play-off system because they can have a shit season - finish 5th and still finish second after the play-offs.. PAOK finished 4th this season, 10 points behind PAO who finished second. And yet today, PAOK just won the play-offs and turned a shitty season into a chance at CL football.. All 3 of these loser clubs also all encouraged Kontonis to get Greece kicked out of FIFA/UEFA ..

If it wasn't for Olympiacos, Greek teams will still not be able to play on Mondays. I can't remember which coach it was, but he said a few years ago - 'how can Greece function without having the option of Monday games?'

The real question is: how can Greek football survive and thrive in a poisonous and chaotic environment such as the current one?

Cannot.
They are doomed if they can't change this situation.

It will survive the same way someone does with a chronic zombie bite. Every year worse..

Just to think Kougias will be in the SL next season with AEL.. Another nut-case lawyer owner.. with  massive mouth..

This is him last year after fighting with police at the Korinthos game..

But you months ago support their comeback lol.

It will make the league more competitive. So in that sense great and I am still happy they are back. Also they have a very nice stadium by Greek standards. So visually the league becomes better too.

But sadly they are owned by a malaka - who will encourage violence, games being abandoned and in the main - like most Greeks - general anarchy.

The team I would really like back is Aris. They are fighting in the courts as we speak to be allowed into the second league. They won their group and should be promoted, but they still carry many debts and the former owners are being sued. Aris is trying to explain to the Government that there is more chance of them paying off their debts in higher leagues - than constantly being demoted due to their debts..
