KAE Aris on the game in Peristeri: “Anger and indignation about the change in the result”

Aris people were in excitement after away match against Peristeri for Basket League Game 6. Giannis Kastritis refrained from saying much to the ERT camera, but at 21:00 on Saturday (11/19) the yellow-black team spoke to Andreas Papandreou about a change of score (Peristeri won 92-90).

The announcement of KAE Aris in detail:

“KAE ARIS expresses its anger and indignation at the change in result suffered by our team in Andreas Papandreou’s closed game against Peristeri.

It is not the first time that our team has been the victim of arbitration decisions. We’d hope it’s the latter if rehearsals weren’t repeated. This however. that took place in today’s game (19/11) goes beyond the ordinary. Starting with the 15-0 shots in the second half and 29-9 overall (with 26-15 fouls at our expense) in a game approaching the 100 point mark, and continuing with two fouls on Vassilis Kavvadas ( that was the “car” loaded…out and the non-existent foul that meant shots, both at critical points), there is a clear “picture”. The highlight was the unsportsmanlike foul on Vassilis Toliopoulos in the closing stages (when Shakur Juston pulled his jersey too long), which wasn’t even called a simple foul! If this isn’t effects manipulation, then what is?

We don’t know whether the good start of ARIS in the league is a problem. Or if some thought that in the event of a win in Peristeri, our team would climb to levels alarming for many. What we do know is that we’re not going to sit back and watch someone steal the sweat from our players. We cannot take back the victory that was denied us, but KAE ARIS will take all necessary measures to hold those responsible to account on the one hand and to prevent a similar change in the result in the future on the other. And he will make profits like the one that was stolen today…

The world of ARIS and also Greek basketball saw what was happening. The best “answer” will be a full “Nick Galis Hall” in the upcoming match against Karditsa (26.11., 19:15). To send the message that fans will flock to the team even more when they are wronged and recognize their efforts to win no matter the circumstances“.
