Oh please, you'll be playing for it again next year anyway <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



But that's not to say that the whole organization of the HEBA league with it's referees isn't flawed. We had the whole commotion in football in the first and second categories where refs where paid to 'sell' certain games to one side; I wouldn't be surprised if something like this comes up in basketball in the upcoming years, the corruption is absolutely everywhere <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

wow, this debate still going on?

[Black Urum]

Same story again. The vicious cycle of violence.

[ZEUS]

You know why right? These assholes that are 'fans' of all different Greek teams, many of them are the same SOB's that are far right wingers, anarchists, anti-authoritarians, relatives of rich and influential people in the country who always have their asses covered no matter what they do (I include the asshole PAOK fans that trashed the handball A1 finals a couple of weeks ago too), when they eventually get busted by the cops. Funny you don't see Greeks fans acting up if they're outside the country, because they know they'll get their heads kicked in without mercy. But the typical thing that happens in Greece, no one ever gets punished!



You Greeks on the board here will know exactly what I'm talking about...

[Black Urum]

I know very well. In Berlin FF, all PAO and OLY fans were behaving like 10 year old virgins because there were 2m tall German robocops with rottweillers everywhere. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[ZEUS]

Exactly my point, they knew they'd get their heads kicked in!



Our policemen are just wage-earners not law-enforcers <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
