Wow that is some mind like a steel box or some good google-fu you got there mate!
But yeah I guess it wasn't the longest epl match in history, not by a long shot then.

Along with the MM in the NCAA basketball being release (congrats tyKiwanuka on beating me to it this time and certainly the final time to post the selections up first!) those who followed former president's Barack Obama bracket last time he put them up for all to see. He has his selections up for this seasons bracket yet again for this year.


He has all first seeds to win and Gonzanga to win it all (ofc just as I had predicted a while ago but against Illinois? ) so what fun is it in having them all winning in their matchups?
You got to have a bracket upset in a couple of those games to keep the excitement level up or it will just be boring asf.
Just seen the promotions page available about an hour ago so will be making mine later on tonight.
But here is the link for those who want to place them tonight or tomorrow.

Once again here are the selections to choose from for this last hoorah we have known as the Multimasters competition:

I can't remember any except the day time robbery some years back in a game between Liverpool vs Chelsea where 4 extra time was added but the ref kept it on until Liverpool(Suarez) equalized on the 7th minutes dot. A match made in hell, one of the biggest robbery ever. The other I know of is a lower division match where they had a power failure in the second half and 45mins extra time was added.

I think the match between Arsenal and Westham was 13mins added time in 2013

Only thing going my way in this multimaster is that even people that watch basketball don't know so much about NCAA. At least that is my hope. Copy my picks to fail miserably

Damn, no draws this time so I went with almost all home teams. Hopefully they do have home and away turf and there actually is home advantage in NCAA.

Arkansas - Colgate 1
Baylor - Hartford 1
Chicago - Georgia Tech 1
Clemson - Rutgers 1
Florida - Virginia Tech 1
Houston - Cleveland 1
Illinois - Drexel 1
North Carolina - Wisconsin 2
Ohio State - Oral Roberts 1
Oklahoma State - Liberty 1
Purdue - North Texas 1
San Diego - Syracuse 1
Tennessee - Oregon State 1
Texas Tech - Utah State 1
Villanova - Winthrop 1
West Virginia - Morehead 1

I have no idea about NCAAB unfortunately, but I guess I am not alone and sometimes this is not the worst thing for these kind of competitions.

I will track these 3 upcoming MMs in a spreadsheet again, but will probably not be super fast with the live/result tracking: NCAAB MM

I believe this match was the longest game played including extra-time for the injury sustained by the wolves goal keeper near the end of it. I think I heard it added 15 minutes at the end. The first half had extra time added on as well but can't remember how many minutes were in total for the first half.

So just to keep the vibe on the thread a little more upbeat, now knowing Patricio will be okay since he is still recovering and able to speak now:

Does anyone know what the longest match in the EPL has been?
I think I remember one back in 2011 with Arsenal vs LFC which was 17 minutes added on at the end of the match. That one having 62 minutes played in the second half alone.

Yeah, I think I've always trusted linesmen, and if it's such a controversy, it usually only happens when a goal is scored anyway. And we've all gotten over it, I know I've never complained so much about offside, you get on with it. I didn't mind too much with the new rules though until you see what you described happening over and over. Everyone looks to the linesman, because it's habit. Then oh, he's not flagging, let me try anyway. Then players score and look again and see ah, yes, it's up, hey can't blame me for trying;)


Mate I've to disagree with you here man. I understand why the rule was introduced but the fact is, some injuries were preventable. As I said, I'd rather sacrifice a few wrong offside calls so that keepers and defenders don't take bad risks. The fact that when a striker is clearly offside means he's so much closer to goal than he should be, so defenders are going the extra mile and extra risk. I think we've seen enough bad injuries to prevent goals that wouldn't have mattered anyway to seriously consider retracting this new rule.



I can't recall all the times I wish the flag would have gone, so my team's defenders wouldn't have needed to run the full length down to clear and pull muscles, before flag finally, slowly, went up. A collective "eff you man" can be heard from them and me haha.

We had some cases where players were clearly onside and the flag was raised we also had some cases where the players were offside by the minimum margin but the linesmen could not detect, that was why the end of phase was introduced to let the play goes on and let Var decides afterwards, linesman still raise flag if the offside is very clear, they were just given two options.  We have had some bad injuries around the midfield in the past, Patricio injury was one of those unfortunate days just like any other unfortunate days too. Offside rules have nothing to do with it.

Yup, the 'never raise flags' rule is as dangerous as it is dumb. The funniest thing is when you see a player who knows he's offside looking at the linesman, the linesman has his flag down, both he and the defenders have that half second 'WTF' moment (you can see it on their faces' before continuing to play. The player scores, does not celebrate because he knows he was 2 yards in, the ref disallows it, play on. I mean, don't call out tiny offsides. But please, do call the clear and obvious ones.

Yeah, the new rule apparently came because of Jimenez's concussion and this was the first implementation of the concussion sub. I only knew after watching the commentary post match. Good rule, and I just hate injuries like these no matter to who. Concussion injuries are very complex because brain injury is not clear with scans.

Exactly why I didn't really like the new rule about offside flags only being raised at the end of play phase -- I talked about it a lot with my kid watching. When it's so clearly offside, raise the flag, so defenders and goalies don't need to risk life and limb to prevent a goal in case it's onside. We had the same with the VVD injury too, if the flag had been raised offside, Pickford wouldn't have rushed out to injure VVD.

I'd rather get the wrong call with offside flags (and we trust the linesmen to raise it only when it is super obvious as it was last night with Salah) than risk injuries because it's happening too often.

You know it was not good yesterday if the good news are that he is talking again. Just hoping he will recover soon, especially since Wolves already had that Jimenez head injury. If I am not mistaken Patricio now has to miss some games even if he makes complete recovery today. Wasn't there some addition to that rule about extra sub in case of  head injury saying so?

Say no more here it is 


He has regained consciousness and he is okay according to his coach and he will run some test today to know the extend of his injury. The good news is he is talking again, it was not that bad as we saw it. He may be on the sideline some weeks.

I just wanted to post yet another amazing freebet won from Sportsbet from the MMA MultiMaster

"Only" hit with 8 picks right,,, as was the 2nd place winner, free dinner and betting thanks jeremypwr, Steve, SB;)

Let us see if NBA can also be a good MultiMaster with all of you experts here:)

Damn I need to check these threads more often. Only saw this in fact because of the extra extra extra time in the Wolves/Liverpool game. Concussion sub, didn't even know the rule existed till now. Also didn't even really see replays so it must have been really bad, hope Patricio's all right.

F1? NBA? I don't know why it never took to me, maybe because I can't play either? Haha.

@rdbase: I'm so not going for favourites. It hardly hits in the specials when I take 3/1 fav parlays haha!

All good man!

I almost forgot how this bad ma'ma jamma did his patented TOMAHAWK slam before posting that awesome gif.

Thank you for this.

Also just to note something about the favorites winning in these tournaments;
Remember when Virginia who was a 16th seed knocked out a 1st seeded team in the tournament several years ago?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/ncaa-stunner-no-16-seed-umbc-makes-history-by-knocking-out-no-1-virginia/2018/03/16/35d91dee-2954-11e8-874b-d517e912f125_story.html
This is why they call it March MADNESS!

Just a reminder on those who wish to challenge the Multimaster last hurrah with picking all the favorites to win for their selections.
There is always one or two upsets in the brackets before the final four are done & dusted.

Put those words in gif man!! 2000s kids must see Patrick's slam dunk.


Big mam leading his team to Big East tournament title and clinched an NCAA tournament ticket against Creighton 73-48 few days ago. @rdbase sorry for painting the thread 

^^
Should be heating up soon with the table all setup for the NCAA March Madness about to kick off!
The NBA players during their weekend coverage over on the TNT network Charles Barkley & Shaquille O'Neal have already put in their favorites to win the three week tournament beginning on March 19th til April 5th.
They are going for Gonzaga & Baylor to take it all respectively.

Fun fact: Did you know former Nba great from the 80's to the 90's of the New York Knicks, Patrick Ewing, is the head coach of the Georgetown Hoyas since April 2017?

NCAA March Madness bracket was just released, here's a link to all first-round matches:

https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/print/basketball-men/d1/2021 (pdf file)

We are unlikely to see 1/16 or 2/15 matchups being included in the Multi-Master, as they are very lopsided and easy to predict games.

I'm sure the promo will go live tomorrow (or Tues at the latest), but it's a head start for those who want some more time to study the games (even if we don't know the exact games yet) lol i guess i'm way too excited rn. 

This is what actually got me to look into F1 racing since I heard of this sponsorship with a crypto-related company a few weeks ago.
Now I seem to be hooked.
Check out the offer steve has on tabs to receive a freebet for just posting a photoshopped F1 racer with the Sportsbet.io logo!

Can someone create a photorealistic rendition of one maybe?

Don't worry you didn't miss anything, the markets aren't up and the page isn't available yet.

True, these games can be crazy sometimes where the best teams could suddenly lose to mediocre teams.

Did I miss something again with this LastHoorah MultiMaster or there is still chance for participation?


Are we going to see Sportsbet sponsoring some Formula One team?
I wouldn't be surprised after I saw that Crypto.com joined Aston Martin Formula One team.
