Supporters organise against the PAS Giannina board
A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

The scrutiny sharpens at PAS Giannina
Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at PAS Giannina is running low.

A muscle injury sidelines Dimitris Pinakas for 15 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. PAS Giannina will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

PAS Giannina lose Jacques Bayo

Achilleas Poungouras knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at PAS Giannina, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Jonny Arriba story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Jonny Arriba signs something — a contract at PAS Giannina or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
