I have moved on from Saturday's events. All I care about is getting 3 points at Jack Edwards Reserve on Friday night. We still have a chance to finish third and host a finals match. Avondale face Melbourne City Youth without Fornaroli. A draw there and a win by Hellas could push us to equal...

He would be a KC - King's Counsel

If the main grandstand at Olympic Village was knocked over and replaced with a 2,500 seated grandstand with new change rooms and corporate facilities (like the main grandstand at Lakeside Stadium), then it becomes a pretty good facility. But in its current state, it looks tired and dilapidated.

Definitely no away spectators for the remainder of the calendar year in case we meet again unless its the NPL or Australian Championship Grand Finals. Then you'll definitely see as you mentioned plenty of one-off 'patriots' on both sides wanting to wage war for the motherland, and in the...

Let’s focus what is important gents - getting the 3 points at Jack Edwards Reserve. That’s all I care about this week.

Whether we like it or not, we need a strong Preston. We need 3-4 strong clubs in Victoria with a supporter base and commercial backing to get the NSD up and running.

We saw that at the first Dockerty Cup away match to Preston 2 years ago when we won 5-2. You had some blokes who had not been to a Hellas match in years but just there to start political chanting. Don't need your support and bugger off. Go and join a political party if you want to get stuck into...

If we had just defeated Green Gully and Altona, we would now be sitting 3rd ! That's after the insanity of thowing all the NPL matches back in May. We are now forced to continue playing our best starting XI every week rather than rotating and freshening up key players just before the finals.

Another week of training will do the new signings a great deal of benefit. Juach probably needs another 2-3 matches to get up to speed of things, but showed some glimpses of what he can do. Ramazani and Yoo have been great additions. Lets hope Nkwomo can keep playing at a high standard as he...

Pretty much 99.9% of the Preston fans were fine.

I have been around long enough to hear everything and anything. Most of it doesn't bother me. It is the burning of the Greek flag that is what has tipped everyone over.

We need the players not to get caught up in the off field stuff and hit the training ground solely focused on the Oakleigh away fixture. A massive 3 points on the line on Friday night.

Most of the Preston fans who attended were fine. It’s just small group of idiots who ruin it for everyone.

It’s never a dull moment supporting Hellas! As for Preston, they’ve got a painful week ahead with Football Victoria and Victoria Police.

The FV statement was updated since its initial publication. It’s pretty damning now.

I’m so over the bullshit of the politics from the 1990s. It’s friggen 2026. Most Preston supporters who came to Lakeside were fine, but a certain section took it to another level. The banner “ANTI-HELLASS” is childish and dumb but I’m not going to get worked up about it. The banner “GREEK...

Our club made a good statement praising the fans in yesterday’s match. Preston’s statement was trying to play down and diffuse the situation. They know they are in serious trouble. They have a suspended -3 point deduction that can be activated over future crowd troubles. Football Victoria...

It’s now starting to get real tight. Only 5 points separates 3rd and 8th. We need to keep an eye on 2 matches - Heidelberg v CS George Cross and Melbourne City Youth v Avondale. We need draws in both those matches. Plus we need to defeat Oakleigh. If all that happens, and Preston defeats...

Thankfully he missed it.
