At the Apoel Europa League match last night. Fans were awesome and sang for 90 min non stop despite going behind early on. Deserved win in the end. Interesting that they seemed to be allowed to set off rockets from the stands during the match with no stoppage in play! Great passion for their team.

I think what Greek fans are "allowed" to do is a fluid concept, given that it would be a brave copper who waded in to stop them.

UEFA would hang British teams out to dry if we did this, always double standards with Greek/Turkish etc teams get away with it.

Apoel have a great Argentinian forward called Caveneghia I think? Used to sign him on fm all the time, he must be a fair age now?
They also have an incredible goalie called boy Waterman!

Flares and rockets are not allowed officially at grounds in Greece as you can see here.....

No pyro no party. UEFA like a paranoid dictatorship won't even allow booing of their anthem let alone flares etc.

Atmosphere at ER is dire just now. A win tomorrow would make for a good atmosphere v Newco. Shame about the Sunday lunchtime KO as the atmosphere is rarely as good as a 3pm one.

I was at Sporting Lisbon last night and their singing section was behind the goal. Great noise made all game in an otherwise pretty low key game.

I've been to a couple of their games over the years. Traveled on a supporters bus from Limassol. Really fanatical fans. I enjoyed the experience but I'd rather watch Hibs away at Ross County at midnight on Christmas Day. Just not the same without love 😄

I was at AEK game in Athens. That was wild. Guy at top of 30ft high fence burning American flag. Also got pelted with anything that they could throw at us.

Yes, the game was in Nicosia although it was against a Greek team Asteras Trioplolis.Going to a 2nd Division match at Polis this afternoon. Crowd should be around 200!

Yeah the police took all our coins and lighters then we spent entire 90 minutes getting pelted with coins and lighters.

They are Greek Cypriot to be precise. I went to see them regularly when I was living in Nicosia and the derbies against Omonia were mental. Recently the trouble after games has been bad but the Cypriot police being pussies doesn't help.
