League suspended after gun incident

GREECE’S Superleague has been suspended indefinitely after PAOK Salonika’s match with AEK Athens on Sunday was abandoned.

The Greek government took the decision following the chaotic scenes which greeted a disallowed 89thminute PAOK goal with the score at 0-0.

PAOK president Ivan Savvidis marched on to the pitch, with images showing him apparently carrying a gun in a hip holster.

Yesterday afternoon, Greece’s deputy minister for sports Giorgos Vassiliadis announced that the Superleague has been suspended.

“We are going for an indefinite suspension,” Vassiliadis said. “We are expecting a new set of stricter rules for soccer, after spending three years trying to clean the game up.”
