As is already known, ax to the members of the Mars mission he fell heavy by the EPO Disciplinary Committee, which “distributed” penalties of two suspensions to all, because they refused to receive their medals at this year’s awards ceremony Cup Final in Panthessalikos. Punishment, provided for expressly from the Regulation.
Mars will naturally exercise appealsupporting what was also mentioned by the team manager of the “yellows”, Giorgos Goukouliasat today’s (12/7) team media day.
Mr. Gougoulias said, among other things, that “It’s a lot unfair decision and I say this with confidence because I was personally in the meetings that preceded the final. I know very well what was discussedhow things would turn out and based on them, they should call us to get the medals. We never refused, which is why we were in front of the counter anyway. Of course there was sadness but never Aris refused to take the medals. I was looking at (the people in charge of the EPO) and I expected to call us to get the medals. Never they didn’t call us. It is a very unfair decision. They said someone from the EPO came and told someone to take the medals and we refused. We were there with our heads down and no one called us».
The sport-fm.gr reveals today the exhibition of the observer of the Final (Super League observer, from older, more experienced and fairer of space), which was also the only who recorded the events, since the referees were locked in the locker room for security reasons and they didn’t record anything relevant to the match sheet.
In his report, he states explicitly and categoricallythat the official information he had from the EPO was that the Mars mission was called TWICE to receive the medals, however there was no slightest response from its members!
Read in detail what the observer reports in his report
“The organizational manager of the organizing authority EPO (who in the morning organizational meeting at 10:30 with present representatives of the 2 teams, the police, the fourth referee, the representatives of EPO, the television provider etc., as reflected in the form signed by each person present, made a detailed reference to the ceremonial awarding protocol after the end of the match), after the completion of the awarding ceremony, he told me the following:
In the process of preparing the awards ceremony (the MVP, the referees, the losing team and lastly the winning team which would form a “Pasillo” for the rest, the team of Aris (as well as his Panathinaikou) from the representatives of the EPO (their names are mentioned), to prepare and come to implement the planned ritual but, as there was no response, the ceremony was finally carried out without the participation of the Aris team, which from the end of the match until the award ceremony (football players, coaches and officials) was and remained in the area of ​​their team’s bench.
The refereeing team was also notified to attend, accepted and prepared, but the attempt to appear at the award venue was incomplete and returned to the locker room because, in their opinion, their smooth transport to the award venue was not sufficiently ensured, amidst constantly protesting agents of the Aris team in the locker room.
I was then informed by the organizing manager of EPO that the medals of Aris, as well as of the refereeing team, were given to each one’s locker room.
No other comments.”
