Diagoras F.C.

Diagoras Football Club (Greek: Π.Α.Ε. Γ.Σ. Διαγόρας) is a Greek professional football club based in Rhodes, Greece. It was founded in 1905. Diagoras is named after the island's ancient boxer Diagoras. The team first played under Ottoman Rule until the short lived independence of the Dodecanese in 1912. No matches at all were held during the Balkan Wars and the team did not play with Greek teams until the Dodecanese joined with the rest of Greece in 1947.

gollark: But you can never write reusable code in it!
gollark: I'd rather not use a thing with serious security vulnerabilities they refused to patch.
gollark: Top bit is author.
gollark: ```"You mean that a program designed to let an unprivileged usermount/unmount/eject anything he wants has a security flaw because it allowshim to mount/unmount/eject anything he wants? I'm shocked."Unfortunately, sarcasm does not make you right. Yes, this is a critical security flaw, because anyone with calibre installed on their system now allows any user to gain root privileges by mounting on top of important directories. Just because your application allows this by design rather than by mistake doesn't make this less of a problem.```
gollark: Er, has.
