If the post was deleted it won't change the report if it's already been handled. Only admins can change the status of the report but I wouldn't bother them with it as nobody is going to care about one report. In fact, you could even argue that the report was correctly marked bad as if the local rules of the thread aren't stated with the creation of the thread then they shouldn't be enforced. Either way I wouldn't care about it.

Mediation is the best step. They're in a tricky situation legally. Fury was contractually obligated to fight him but obviously that couldn't really happen during covid but the time frame has elapsed so Fury technically might be free, though you could probably argue it's in bad faith. It's in both their interests to make this fight in my opinion.


Well that's why you have the fights in the first place to find out. Wilder would be stupid not to try get this fight going. It's going to the biggest payday he can get right now and maybe his last and he also has a chance to win his belts back. Neither of them are going to be fighting anyone worthwhile for about a year so they should just get this fight done and out of the way so they both can move on and Fury already has the AJ fights lined up. The build up would be insane for the trilogy as fights are usually better when there's bad blood or a grudge between them.

I didn't handle it but if you want to have a local rule it needs to be in place before you create the thread as doing it retroactively isn't fair. Personally I think these sorts of issues would be best handled with self-modded threads and you can mod them how you like as mods shouldn't really have to mod someone else's thread and keep up with the rules that person has set. Also, regarding that thread the OP should edit the title to give more info as stating share good movies is very vague and of course is going to lead to people sharing any movies when it's not stipulated in the title. Kinda wish theymos would implement something where you can sticky a message in the first post of every thread or the first post is there at the top like is on some forums as a reminder. Would help to keep things on topic and not let them stray too far off topic.

Can't see Zidane going anywhere anytime soon, and it's not just Zidane but the fans who have unfairly seemed to dislike him for a long time and for no good reason.


I think he had every right to be frustrated or give the attitude he did. It could have been much worse. It was quite lighthearted really.


I don't think Bale was detrimental to them winning it bit he sure did help. People seem to forget he scored two great goals in the CL final and the overhead kick is probably one of the greatest CL final goals ever scored if not the greatest. He really has been treated unfairly at Madrid but hopefully the Spurs fans will give him the respect he deserves.

Well he was on his last legs towards the end but anything can happen in boxing. Nobody expected Fury to get up from his knock-down but he did miraculously.


I think Wilder could beat Fury, though my money would always be on Fury. As I said above most people don't get up from the knock-down Fury received so there's no reason why that couldn't happen again even though Fury did dominate the rematch quite comfortably.


It's easy for Fury to say that now but it might have been a different story behind the scenes. I'm sure both parties took advantage of the situation to delay it for their own personal reasons.


The AJ fights are already happening next year unless maybe AJ gets beaten in his upcoming fight which could delay them. They'd still probably make them happen though even though the belts might not be on the line it's still something fans want to see. I'm sure AJ has a rematch clause also.

I wonder if anyone will ever be a target at one of these organised crypto meet ups. I think trying to rob someone of their crypto would probably be easier and safer to do than with the money in their bank. When you've got a load of high-net worth guests like Vitalik Buterin etc turning up to some of these speaking events I imagine they would be an easy hit. Do those guys have security? Crypto meet ups have even been done on cruise ships. I believe John McAfee, Bobby Lee, Roger Ver and Brock Pierce were all on the 2018 CoinsBank Blockchain Cruise. I'm sure there's a good heist film idea there  .


I think DaveF is asking for a board more suited to one-on-ones or a casual hang out sub. Group meetings are for more likely to happen (and safer) but I still don't think the meet up board is even that active for group meet-ups, though what he's requesting can obviously also be organised in there.

My money wouldn't be on Barca. Their team has been decimated this season. Got rid of half their players. They've also lost two games and drawn two out of their last five. Bayern and City should be up there. Still not sure I have faith in City and they're off to a shaky start in the PL. Bayern would be my top pick but anything can happen in the Champion's League.

Current odds from Skybet:

Bayern Munich 11/4
Manchester City 4/1
Liverpool 6/1
Barcelona 12/1
PSG 14/1
Juventus 16/1
Real Madrid 16/1

I prefer domestics but there's often at least a game or two I'm interested in from the internationals. Belgium are playing England. Belgium probably have one of the best teams on paper but haven't lived up to that yet but I'm hoping they will at some point.


The table is always pretty close as there's not much difference in points between a correct score and outcome. That's one criticism I have of superbru. I think getting a correct score should get you more than 3 points. Maybe 5. I think back when we used the BBC site first they gave 10 points for a correct outcome and 40 or 50 for the exact score which is better in my opinion. That gives you some boost in getting the correct score right whilst it's only marginal with 3 points compared to 1 or 1.5 for the outcome.


Yep. I wouldn't concern yourself too much with placement right now just aim for consistency and that yellow cap. I was mid table for most of last season, then crept up gradually to take the fifth place spot for the last few rounds then lost it on the last match day and ended up eighth.

Fully agree. That's one thing I forgot to mention as well about the safety aspects of meeting up with a newbie. They could be the alt of someone you don't like that much or even someone who has a grudge with you. That could actually be very dangerous especially when in most cases you don't know what people look like here so that could be exploited very easily. I have nothing against people if they want to meet up with randomers or users of any rank but for multiple reasons I think it's better keeping meet-ups private or with users who you and friendly or familiar with. I really wouldn't advise people meet lower ranked members one on one. Groups are always best and meetings in public places. You can always choose to meet people you get along with from those at a later date.

I think the loan deal they got him on was ludicrous and was practically a transfer in all but name. It wasn't a good deal at all. They should have waited for his contract to expire and got him for free though I get the feeling Mourhinio doesn't have time to waste. I certainly don't think they should be paying anything to sign him permanently when they can get him for free if they wait. There's no way he's going back to Real that's for sure.


How can you score goals when he didn't even make the bench half of the time? Real Madrid were foolish to not utilise him when he was fit and Zidane not even having him on the bench when he was available was silly. They only loaned him out because Zidane made it publicly clear he wasn't in his plans so they might as well try recoup some of the ludicrous wages they're paying him to keep the bench warm or play golf.

Anyone can scam you at any point. You could be the most trustworthy member/escrow on the forum and that person could run off with your money at any time. In fact, there has been at least once case that I recall where a fairly trusted escrow did run off with people's money. Using a trusted escrow is certainly more safe that just trusting a random person on the internet with your money but I would do your research on them and weigh up the odds of them scamming you. If a user has held thousands of dollars of other people's money then they're unlikely to scam you and ruin their account for $100 or $1000, but at the same time you don't know what sorts of financial trouble they're in or if their account has been compromised but there are ways to verify this. Maybe someone's sole intention was to become trustworthy here to pull off a long con further down the line and that's something you can never know until it happens. At the end of the day you are responsible for your own money and I would do your own research to find out who you can judge or not but there will likely never be a 100% guarantee of safety.

Well in that case you're still meeting a random person but who is just interested in bitcoin. If people just want to meet random people who are into bitcoin then sure, but I wouldn't want to just meet up with any randomer and I'm sure most others won't either. People usually only want to meet someone if they get along or at least have had some sort of rapport. The level that people have any interest in bitcoin here is going to very greatly as well. Probably 50% of the users are here only because it's profitable for them. I'm sure many don't really care about bitcoin that much other than that.

Seems likely this will be the next fight for Fury now unless Wilder pursues legal action. I still think he should fight Wilder first and then on to AJ. AJ still has his fight coming up I believe. Maybe he doesn't want to risk anything with another Wilder match though, but I don't think he would have a problem. It would be the biggest payday he'll get until the AJ bouts though.

Hmm... seems Fury might fight in December, but I can't see that happening as it's less than a month away:


If he's going to fight at all it should be Wilder, assuming Wilder actually wants the fight and isn't just blowing smoke.

Wilder's coach has also just commented on the accusations he made against him:

Only fight I watched was the Claudia Gadelha one. Thought the decision was very harsh. Are the other fights worth watching?


Wat? I'm sure you wouldn't kick her out of bed.


Nasty. Reminds me of the times where people got their Cauliflower ear punched out:

Makhachev Vs El Chapo.



RIP.

Just do that in the Meet-up section. As with all new sub boards they're created if there's a demand for them so if the meet-up board turns into some sort of hook-up or lets hang out board then maybe theymos will create a sub for them. I think you would be less likely to get interest for one-on-one meet-ups or smaller gatherings though and if people get friendly here or want to meet up it will probably be done through PMs etc like I know it has before. I'd also bet 99% of the people who have showed interest in this here wouldn't meet up with a random person even if they were in the same city.


Sounds like you really need Tinder  .


I'm sure most people wouldn't want to meet with a newbie, and if you're just wanting to hang out with a random person off the internet then there are apps and websites for this.

Arsenal got demolished. Not surprising only two people went for the away win. At least they didn't really effect my position at the table. Up 15 places this round and only 17.5 points behind first place. Considering I was dead bottom 2 or 3 rounds ago it shows you you shouldn't worry too much about your current position. I'm sure I'll be down another 15 places next round  .


They need to clarify the rules more or even change them. It was meant to be for clear and obvious errors and it should be used when called upon, not check every goal to try find something. It's delaying the game too much when players have to wait for a pointless VAR check to be over before they can kick off again. It's taking the fun out of players celebrating as well as half of the time they're expecting a VAR decision. I'm sure they will do something about it at the end of the season. Far too many legit goals are getting ruled out now like the Leeds one and countless others.

Pretty close for the yellow cap this week. I'm only 0.5 points behind the current leader and if my prediction of 2-0 comes in I'll probably take it. Villa just had a goal disallowed within the first minute as well. Took VAR 4 minutes to decide that it was offside. They really need to stop going looking for reasons to disallow goals as nearly 5 minutes to decide to cancel a goal that nobody was seemingly protesting is ridiculous.

The score line didn't represent the game really. I thought Leeds were the better team and had far more possession and attacks. Palace just got lucky on their attempts and there were two own goals, one of them was bizarre. As others have said, the Leeds equaliser should have never been disallowed either. No idea what VAR is playing at. Not a single Palace player protested and every commentator and pundit seemed to disagree with it. Even the ex ref they had as a consultant seemed to disagree with it.


The vertical lines they draw on are the parts of the body that are claimed to be offside, but you're right it does look like the elbow which means it shouldn't be offside. Also, if they had a camera straight down the line or one from above I reckon someone would have been playing his elbow onside anyway and unless you have those sorts of angles you can never be sure on calls like this as bodyparts are obscuring the line. I think Bamford has had 3 or 4 goals disallowed now. I'd rather them just get rid of VAR at this point or at the very least they should only be checking things if the ref or opposing team requests it. Checking every goal and going looking for something is just silly an delaying the game even more.

Gone for both draws on these two early games. Really looking forward to Everton Vs Man United and City/Liverpool this week. Will watch the Leeds game as well. 4 people still need to do their picks but I know a couple people like to leave theirs late but a couple of users have also missed them the last round. Most will still have a lot of their default picks left though.


I'm not sure I buy into the fatigue reasoning but we'll see. Leicester are a great team right now, arguably one of the best and they could go top this weekend. Villa are playing fairly well but also lost to Wolves last week like Leeds did so I think I'll go for a draw on this one, especially as it's at Villa.

I don't know why Fury is taking fights like these. Surely there can't be that much money in this match up nor do I think others will care too much to watch it. He should have just taken the Wilder fight as that's the one everyone wants to see before the Joshua double.


It's usually the promoters that get greedy. I commented a month or so ago in here that Frank Warren did an interview alongside Fury and he stated there was no way the fight could go on behind closed doors... then immediately followed up with something like well, not unless some rich country wants to pay us to host it... basically saying that if Saudi Arabia want to throw them a load of money they'll do it there. Sure, they would lose a few million in gate receipts but I'm sure the fight would make the same back in extra pay per view buys.


There's always something to prove. Unless the fight ends in a KO then there's always unfinished business  in my opinion. Obviously Fury was the better fighter in the second fight but he almost didn't finish the first one which ended in a draw and things could have been different had Wilder's coach not thrown in the towel. Personally I think Fury should take the trilogy fight, finish Wilder off so there's no excuses then and then move onto AJ.
