Greek league put on hold after gun drama

GREECE’S Superleague has been suspended 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 89th-minute PAOK goal with the score at 0-0.

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

Yesterday, Greece’s deputy minister for sports Giorgos Vassiliadis announced that the Superleague had been suspended, revealing the government is in negotiations with local and international football authorities to agree new rules.

“Everything is on the table and we will make contact with everyone,” said Vassiliadis. “We are expecting the proposals from the federations.”
