The disrespect is real.
💥It’s squad full of internationals. Two of their players are on loan from Serie A teams.
💥They have players who’ve won titles in Portugal, Sweden & Serbia (to name a few)
💥Whilst they are “minnows” the club is 93 years old
NB: Owner is from Belarus
❓ Been sent this screenshot by a follower and asked if it's true
❌ Although that was a horrendous, embarrassing result for Rangers and they are in absolute turmoil, the 'facts' in the screenshot are completely made up

Another unbelievable evening in what has been an incredible campaign.
Anorthosis grabbed an injury time equaliser at AEK, while APOEL lost 1-0 against Omonoia.
The title will be decided on the final day as APOEL host AEK with both teams locked on 72 points.

Reality: Aris had 7 internationals in the starting lineup & players who've won titles in bigger leagues than Scotland.
But let's keep the narrative of the farmers taking 4 points off Rangers...

Aris Limassol’s title victory is truly deserved.
The club is on a 15 game unbeaten run - their last defeat was on the 15th January.
Aris began the playoffs in 3rd, 6 points behind APOEL. Five wins, 3 draws in 8 play off games hands them the title.
Congrats

Portuguese striker Pedro Marques, on loan from NEC Nijmegen, scored this hat trick against Doxa.
Judging by his pace, movement, first touch and finishing, he'll certainly be high up in the top goalscorer list this season.

Managerial changes in Cyprus are like London buses. Wait for one and 3 come along.
Three sackings in a little over a week takes this season’s total to 18. Still time to match last season’s tally of 26!
Rekdal becomes managerial casualty number 15 of the season. We’re 11 away from equalling last season’s record!!

The double standards and stupidity of the CFA continues as they’ve ordered the AEL-Apollon cup game to be played behind closed doors, following crowd violence.

The trajectory has been incredible.
Binned by Ketsbaia at Anorthosis. Reinvented himself at Ethnikos. Grabbed the opportunity at Aris with both hands.
Quality player. Quality mentality.
Former Arsenal academy product and now Aris Limassol LB Kostas Pileas is expected to get his move to top league as clubs in Europe are monitoring him. 🇨🇾
Aris Limassol won the league and Pileas was in team of the year, now set for the move.

With all due respect to Premier League reporters & journalists, you've got it easy.
Try reporting on Cypriot football & fellow obscure leagues where something new happens 3-4 times a day. A wrongfully disallowed goal 2 weeks ago would be ancient news for the rest of us.

Omonoia 3-1 down at half time. Referee Ian McNabb from Northern Ireland takes centre stage.
Omonoia denied a penalty moments before Midtjylland are awarded one of their own, leading to Kousoulos' red card.
Great performance by an official that's disliked in his home country.
