Pafos' Championship winning coach Juan Carlos Carcedo is rightly having a wonderful time today.
I know because my Twitter feed is full of him retweeting messages of congratulations he's received.
Writing this on here because he follows me and I don't want him to unfollow me. Also, I'm bragging.

Over the last couple of days I've learnt that, if you don't know the language, don't quote the transfer story.
Despite all the words being correctly translated in what I was reading, the context was lost, with sarcasm and ridicule not coming over in the translation.
Lesson learnt.

AEL vs. Apollon happened a couple of days ago. The match is traditionally the big Limassol Derby, and fans of the two teams get up to a lot, a lot of trouble.
