For the events at Olympiacos-Panathinaikos which led to the stoppage of the derby was placed o Demis Nikolaidis.
In his show on NOVA, the veteran striker repeated it fixed his position that in the case of deviations, such as the injury of Huancar, he should is punished the home team, but the match should continue normally.
He specifically said to “Monday FC”:
“I remember laughing when I read the penalties because it said in some article “if someone throws an object on the field, it’s a 3,000 euro fine”, “if it hits someone, it’s three game suspensions”.
The examples are random, but the guy who is on point is punished more heavily than the guy who is off point. Attempted murder versus murder may make a difference, but not that much.
There’s no need for someone to die and then get busy, because that’s what we do in Greece. We say we are busy for a few days. We have seen firecrackers before in all stadiums. After all, someone doesn’t need to be killed or hurt for us to take action.
The strange thing about yesterday is that no one knew what was going to happen. It’s terrible, we had no information. We waited for two hours and we didn’t know if it will continue in the match. We didn’t know what was going on.
My position is victory in the courts, but no team can get points. I’ve said it before for all the moments. We have to separate the facts. There must be a penalty by throwing objects when there is an injury to a player or coach, but the match must always be played.
For example, Olympiacos must be punished if it is proven that the player was hit by it. It’s not just an injury if a bottle hits the head, it’s how loud a sound is to take damage. This event is isolated and you are punishing the home team.
It must become an individual responsibility. I have not heard from Olympiakos, which saddens me, to find out who did it. We have to deal with that too. That is, if we find out who he is and Olympiacos looks for it and takes legal action because it will have two games closed, for example. Either the player or Panathinaikos does it for him. There must be individual responsibility.
The match as a match cannot be won by a team without playing. The points you get on the board must be on the field. Lose points regardless of the match for what you did. I don’t think it makes sense for any team to get points from this. As soon as a football player is injured the home team should be punished, but for the opposition to get points from it, it is not normal to me. To stop this, the law must be changed.”
