Manchester City is going to be interesting to see after Pep's rebuild. I don't believe they will rise to the heights of the treble or the four in a row Premier League titles. However, I am very curious as to how this club will be going forward.

Panathinaikos had win 2-1 against Sumsunspor, and waiting now the second game. Napoli is playing tomorrow the first match of the season against Sassuolo. I won't be able to watch it, but I hope we have a good start.

I won't to see how Conte is going to manage all those players and how we play.

Villa. Hanging on till the end of the transfer window ends hoping we don't sell Rodgers, Watkins, or Cash. Sure better players exist, but better or even similar quality who would sign for villa and that we could afford? Very very short list and one unlikely to yield a return this late in the window.

Very annoyed that this is the year we have tried to permanently resolve the PSR mess left by Gerrard.

Lack of signings means we are where we were this time last year but without JJ and Duran so its even harder.

Gotham FC is hanging on for a postseason spot and Seattle Reign FC are 6th in the league, so doing great so far

Sorry to bother you again @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev, but do you why the two games of today didn't get posted?

UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev · 1 pts · 1y

Yeah, a separate unrelated process went a bit wild and filled up the entire storage drive. So when the bot went to write to the thread backup file before posting the live thread, it got an OSError as there was no space left on the drive.

I'll migrate the bot over to the raspberry pi server today, should avoid most hiccups after that.

FYI, even though the bot seems down, that game is only planned in January, and at the moment we can only add games happening in the 7 next days

Blaze@piefed.zip · 1 pts · 1y

We can, but in that case the name would probably be athletic Club - rayo vallecano

Let me try

Hello! I am a bot that can create live threads on lemmy.

I can be called by either tagging me in a comment or by replying to me.

Usage:

For all (optional) community@instance inputs, if none given, will assume the community the message is sent from.

-football community@instance(optional {home team} - {away team} - Sets up a game in the queue for live-thread creation. Thread is created ~ min before kick-off. For adding women's games, add the tag -w to the request. Defaults to football@sopuli.xyz if no community is given.

-remove {-sport} {community@instance}(optional) {home team} - {away team} - Removes a game queued for live-thread creation. Only available for requester, mods and admins. For removing a women's game, add the -w tag.

-queue {-sport} {community@instance}(optional) - Lists the current live threads queued for posting.

-mod_action {command} {input} - Various mod actions to set rules for the bot.

-admin_action {command} {input}

-message {message} - Sends a message to bot maintainer

Mod commands:

rules {community@instance}(optional) - Shows the rules applied to the community.

blacklist {community@instance}(optional) - Will no longer interact with community.

remove_blacklist {community@instance}(optional) - Will interact with the community again.

whitelist {community@instance}(optional) - Opens up the bot to post in the community.

remove_whitelist {community@instance}(optional) - Removes the community from the whitelist.

trust {username@instance} {community@instance}(optional) - Removes rate limit restrictions for the user, all mods are trusted users for their communities.

untrust {username@instance} {community@instance}(optional) - Removes the trusted status for the user, can not apply to mods in their communities.

ban {username@instance} {community@instance}(optional) - The user can no longer interact with the bot in the given community.

unban {username@instance} {community@instance}(optional) - The user is removed from the ban list for the given community.

subscribe -{sport} {community@instance} {team} - Subscribes the community to a team, the bot will automatically post new games to the community. Add -w if the team you want to subscribe to is the women's team.

unsubscribe -{sport} {community@instance} {team} - Unsubscribes the community. Use -w if the team you want to unsubscribe from is the women's team.

buffer_time {time in seconds} {community@instance}(optional) - Sets the post buffer time, the time before kick-off the bot will post the live thread.

Admin commands:

Same as mod commands, however admins can also add commands to their entire instance by using the format {-@instance}. Do note that community specific commands overrule instance-wide commands.
