Trofo, un_rank's points in the division 3 table are wrong.
un_rank failed to submit his answers in round 3 and should have received 1 penalty point. That brings his total points to 8, but the table shows 9 points for him.

Thanks. Will be rectified after next round.

Do you know if it is an error that has been with us from 3rd round or if it has been introduced in this round? No need to research I will check it easy when doing the tables next week. Just in case if you already know. That's for me to know if Claude is screwing with me or if I simply forgot to add that 1 point penalty when the site was still live.

Don't know if you have seen it but I just added links to results after every round in the OP today. So we can have better control and catch things like this easier.

I checked that before reporting the error in my previous post. His points were correct until round 6 and they became wrong when you updated the table in totally new way after round 7.

I hadn't noticed that. Just saw it, that's great.

Well, GG Homie All Day... anyway, I'm still at the beginning of round 9 in the top 4. I've been in those positions since the start of the season. It's time to get five wins in a row. There are 8 games left, +30 is a comfortable number, we're halfway there.

Partly in response to igebotz desire for a revival of the weekly recap:

Round 8 Matchday report

Shock results, goal fests, and two managers who remembered they had lives outside BSFL giving their opponents 3 free points. All this happened without DOTA too!

Always hard to find a headline winner but we had goalfests in Div1 and Div2. Trofo and Harkorede, typically reserved and polite, tore up the etiquette book to serve us the round’s most ridiculous thriller with 12 goals. Too bad there were only 3 points, and all kept by Trofo. Da_Silva, arrogantly protecting a cushion at the summit of Div2, forgot to protect their goal and goodpunt took full advantage in another 7-5 victory.

Not a great round for Div1/Div2 league leaders, with cryptofrka getting nicked by resident forum Magic 8 ball hosemary. In a round when absolutely every team playing found a way to score, Slissy woke up on the wrong side of Oslo and got served humiliation by slaman29 6 times.

mitchr4 and knuckey took each other out to dinner, giving walkovers to LFC_Bitcoin and Bitcoin_Budha.

Manager quotes:
mitchr4: "If you’re not entering the pitch with a hangover, are you even really ready to play?"
igebotz: "Only 2 things are bigger than my club. And both are between my legs."

Table Watch
Div1: cryptofrka still pretty at the top but that wobble to hosemary...
Div2: Da_Silva running out of luck finally?
Div3: cygan's first win was a long time coming. Data analysts think this is where the story flips.
Div4: 2 points separate EarnOnVictor in 2nd and jeremypwr in 9th. Most competitive division ever?

Was a crazy right round and we drew in the end all is well for another week onto the next, gg's vivekdkhyani good luck on your next round bro. Grin

ralle14 4-3 darxiaomi

What a nice thing to wake up to, because I thought the NBA question was the only point left to contest. I completely missed that one UCL question and thought we both had 0-2 total goals. Grin

Another tough matchup incoming, but I hope we can keep the points rolling.

A draw in the end was the perfect result for you , not for me but i'll take it as i was sure i lost when spurs won the game 7 Grin

, Hopefully some winning streak for both of us coming in next few weeks , in serious need of that !!

Nice my team even got mentioned by the press Cheesy

My team is mentally exhausted after such a tense battle, but there is no time to rest and the next 6-point match is waiting!

We don't like being the hunted so we will adjust our season goals.
The goal is to avoid relegation and anything other than that is a bonus.
So we will be the underdogs in the next match Cool

I don't think I ever won by such a big margin, didn't even realize actually until I saw the press statement, is this gonna be a thing now? Tongue

@Trofo you used to put it in Sportsbet blog right? Rainbet should do the same. SEO traffic much?

Thank you for helping me so much @Slissy. I knew I won early, didn't realize I won so big Tongue

BTW I am bottom guy in Last Man Standing for ages now.

it was definitely time to celebrate my first three points. otherwise, things would have gotten even worse for me...
next up is a game against un_rank, whom i know from last season in division #4. back then, i managed a narrow 4-3 victory in the 3rd round
i’ll submit my questions later today...

ahhhh thanks my guy that was a tough round coming down to that spurs game lol i wanted that 3rd goal in the Champions league match to happen. but nonetheless i shall see you again
for sure

Answers sent in for the round. It will be a long month for me as focus shift to the World Cup and I suck at predicting Country matches, I have little info on any ones besides the top teams. Hopefully my friendly picks go okay and we can get another win to get us to double digits for the season.

Mmmm, questions! Guess I'm going to have to wait for tomorrow so I don't waste another VAR. That turned out to be extremely useful in R8!

So many storylines developing and have to admit these flew by me until I looked at the results properly (I generally only start looking around me once I'm feeling the heat on relegation haha). Been ages since I looked down to defend a top position, but some really impressive numbers coming out of our midway point (or almost midway).

Congratulations to you in this win.

Yes yesterday when i read your first post i was thinking to myself why he talks like we have tie if he already won the game thanks to the PSG- Arsenal question.

Well now i ahve to focus in the next game i hope to make a quick change and put me again into the path of the victory.

I missed your tag earlier. I did not remember the score from our last match but I was sure I lost and not still confident I will win this time with the picks I have made, I need some revenge for that loss.

You could just forget to submit later today and most of tomorrow too Grin

Seems like from desperate to hopeful in 2 rounds,,, now all I need to do is win the next 2 more rounds and I can start thinking about promotion. Easy right Grin

Friendlies in this week questions so I have a feeling it is even more impossible to judge what results since managers can just be playing random lineups.

Yep, that's what is complicating choosing the right picks, as the stronger teams will try not to reveal everything ahead of the WC. Then again, some took those friendly games seriously and didn't fuck around, like Cape Verde did last night when they beat Serbia 3-0. Or maybe Serbia was just that bad lol.

Not gonna submit my answers yet though as I am still not sure about few of them.

Pleasantly surprised to see I won this round but still find myself sitting in 9th place in the bottom feeder league.
Not too familiar with my opponent this round; but he's dead last on the board so I'm liking my chances

Buwaytress about summed my round up pretty well, I unfortunately had to play mafia in their best round, I think 5 points is pretty good score and could have earned me a win if the schedule had favored me, that's about the 3rd time this season already, anyways it's time look ahead, definitely another tough fixture this time around it's against the AI that never misses a thing having their best season yet, hopefully my team sense of urgency should be sky high enough to get the dub.

I just submit my answers for this round and this is gonna be a hard round for everyone since between the qquestions we have some related to friendlies and we all know in that kind of games the teams are not reliable at all, plus the tennis question this time is gonna be a tricky one since most of the top seeds are doing worst than ever in this Roland Garros and for sure we are gonna see a complete diferent winner than expected, this also could trigger some VARs.
