PAOK never used refereeing errors as an alibi for failures.

In Tripoli, however, we experienced a clear alteration of the result and consequences of the championship.

Only as a set-up can we judge the decision of VAR by Athanasios Tzilos and AVAR Konstantinos Kalambokis not to examine the phase of Asteras’ second goal, as well as the assistant Siniorakis not to indicate the clear offside in the first place before the cross-assist for Asteras’ equalizer .

The concealment of the phase is rigged, the revelation of which exposes the referees and the referee, who has not already cleared all the officials from the books.

We demand an official response from KED for this specific phase, the immediate deletion of Tzilos, Kalambokis and Siniorakis from duties, as well as a public explanation from NOVA as to how this replay was hidden both by the live broadcast and by the selection of the disputed phases.

We remind you that PAOK pioneered the need to use VAR and the offside lines, and we reached the point where the most reliable tool for analyzing objective violations, such as the obvious offside yesterday, was used against us. But let them know that they will not succeed in derailing our team from claiming the championship, without paying a heavy price.
