Not a good look, Ivan Savvidi.

He would be the owner of PAOK Thessaloniki, who managed to beat AEK Athens 1-0 yesterday in the Greek Super League. That’s not all that unusual, except for the fact that the winning goal was awarded two hours after the final whistle was blown.

People used to joke about ‘Fergie Time’ at Manchester United, but that’s quite ridiculous.

First here’s how it played out via NewsAU:

The match was suspended in the 90th minute after a disputed goal by PAOK defender Fernando Varela was initially ruled offside by the referee, prompting an angry protest from the hosts that led AEK to walk off the pitch.

However, two hours later, the referee awarded the goal – earning PAOK a crucial 1-0 win over the league leaders.

An angry AEK said on their official website: “The match was interrupted when referee Kominis correctly did not score Varela’s goal, as assistant [Kostas] Pontikis pointed out.

“There followed the invasion of Ivan Savvidi’s playground with his personal guard… and the withdrawal of the referees in the changing rooms.

“After about two hours and after the referee continually changed the decision to award or not the goal, he concluded that the goal counts and decided to stop the match.”

Now Ivan can apparently be quite a persuasive man, and he stormed the field with a gun strapped to his hip. It is also alleged that he threatened referee Giorgos Kominos.

Here’s footage of the incident:

As you can see, he had a gun holstered on his right hip:

At one stage, he was seen reaching for the gun:

Officials from AEK Athens are understandably upset:

AEK’s Spanish coach Manolo Jimenez told Cadena SER: “We didn’t know if he had a gun, then we saw it.

“It could be seen that he was moving his hand towards his waist because he had a gun.”

Jimenez added: “He threatened the referee right in front of me. According to my interpreter, he told him: ‘You’re finished as a referee’.”

Football fans, players and owners – always a classy bunch.

Oh, and we should probably mention what happened at PAOK’s previous home game:

[That] game – against another title rival, Olympiakos – never started after Olympiakos coach Oscar Garcia was hit in the face by a cash register paper roll.

Who throws a cash register paper roll?

Bloody hooligans.
