Well done to a number of you guys who got the jackpots last night! A standard 2-1 home victory got you amongst the tokens! Two people however got the first goalscorer which was in fact a Lincoln player, full details at the end.
For tonight's game though, we return to the World Cup qualifiers,
@nathen007's Prediction
This ought to be a foregone conclusion for the Republic but life under new manager Stephen Kenny has been a fraught 12 months. 6 losses and 3 draws in his first 9 games in charge is poor form and another loss this evening would put both the career prospects of Kenny and the World Cup hopes of a proud nation in deep jeopardy!
The saving grace may be that Luxembourg are perennial whipping boys and there should be no way this team of part-timers and lower league players could beat the Republic who are sat at 42 in the FIFA World rankings, 56 places above Luxembourg in 98th position, but with a lack of confidence and the real need to win this won, will the Republic fail to follow the script?
Prediction: Republic of Ireland 2 : 1 Luxembourg - First Goalscorer: James Collins
Simply write the name of the FIRST GOALSCORER and the CORRECT SCORE as a comment. The competition closes 5 minutes before kick-off which is 19.45 GMT (11.45 @metzli time! )
The Small Print
In the first goalscorer competition, own goals do not count. In the correct score competition, it's the score after 90mins. Extra time and penalties do not count and the pot for each competition will roll-over if there is no winner. If more than one person chooses the same first goalscorer or correct score, the prize is shared and everyone gets a little upvote! It seems I also need to add, one entry per person. Don't forget the new rule that only people with a rep of 45 or above are eligible to enter unless they have been approved. The bonus will be added to any winnings ONLY if Leeds United win and/or Man U lose and all payouts will never exceed 50% of post payout. Other bonuses paid out at my discretion.
The Winners were...
Step forward @numpypython and @chrisparis who share the 5500 for choosing Lincoln City's ,Scully to get the first goal and take home 2750 each plus their 500 Appearance fee and for @chrisparis, an additional 3250 for the correct score, shared with @marvinix!
Appearance fees go to @monsterbuster, @evegrace, @lebey1, @ralph75, @friendlymoose, and @jfang003.
