OFI - PAO, 24/03/12 19:30 GST Options

I don't understand what is so fucking holy about letting the clock run indefinitely regardless of delay. Can't the referee just PAUSE the time, rather than making the always, consistently inaccurate and unfair extra time assessment to accommodate delays?

Can't the referee just PAUSE the time,

No in football the clock runs down. You are thinking of basketball

we actually played some good football today, too bad it came 3 weeks late. i thought ninis played very well too

[Greekaus]

Strange that both Boumsong and Ninis weren't deemed ready for the derby last week. Who really knows what exactly goes on behind the scenes at PAO. We as fans can only view the games. Season done and dusted anyway, these games are just to go through the motions. Can't imagine being psyched up for the stupid playoffs anyway.

cleyton wasnt deemed good enough to play ahead of katsouranis last week,no katsouranis in the line up and we get a win and play decent football.

[accor6]

I understand you don;t like katsourani( Just like you like Totse) but when Zeca and Quincy were playing at a high level so was katsouranis...

Katsouranis is still one of the best and most versatile players we have and if Zeca and Quincy had maintained their form Katsouranis would have looked so much better. Katsouranis excels in certain systems with certain players around him yet last season his goal in Karaiskai could have crowned us the champs

In my opinion Zeca and Quincy underachieved way more than Katsouranis in the second half of the season. But what do you expect when you are waiting for Pringgipes and make no transfers to help the team midseason

[Greekaus]

^^^^Good point. Zeca and Quincy are here on loan with the idea had they impressed that their buy out fee would be activated. Once they figured out quickly that the PAE is broke and they're no Arabs bringing Gold on their camels, it was inevitable they would begin to play more cautious.

Katsouranis at 33 and with his broken down body is indeed a specific system player that can still do a great job ,but everything around him has to tick as well ,which the last few months has not. He is not a leader nor does he has the speed and skill set to create on the field.

[perakis]

i know quincy is on loan, but i thought we bought zeca.

[paoboston]

^^^technically pao did. but pao hasnt really "paid" for him b/c they are broke. there were stories that setubal's president was in athens last week to talk to pao about getting the money or they were gonna take legal action.
