++ Bonus HBI Shares ++ First Goal Scorer + Correct Score Comp. No 347: Champions League Qualification: Genk v Shakhtar Donetsk 3 August 2021 - 8500 + 5000 SPS Tokens
As I expected, relegated Kilmarnock took the honours in last night's Ayrshire derby quite comfortably with a 2-0 home win. Liam Polworth got the first goal but again, no one quite managed to choose the first goal scorer. The correct score however...
Back to today and the seemingly never-ending Champions League qualifiers are back and I thought we'd visit my favourite team from Belgium again tonight as we take in the game between...
@nathen007's Prediction
It's the first time these teams have met and both will have a big point to prove; Genk because they unexpectedly got beaten 3-4 at home in the league at the weekend and Shakhtar Donetsk because they 'only' got runners up spot in the Ukrainian League last season after finishing top for the 4 consecutive years before that.
Genk have no injury problems, other than bruised ego, and could see the return of Kristian Thorstvedt after a long-term knee injury.
Donetsk have Serhiy Kryvtsov out injured but have a deep enough squad to cope and will be naming their very strongest squad to seal an advance in the competition.
Being honest, Genk are really going to have to step a rung to take anything from this game which is highly likely to have a few goals!
Prediction: Genk 2 : 3 Shakhtar Donetsk - First goal scorer: Lassina Traore
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 19.00 BST. (18.00 UTC)
The Small Print
In the first goal scorer 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 goal scorer 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 50 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 pay-outs will never exceed 50% of post pay-out. Other bonuses are paid out at my discretion.
And the Winners Were...
Congratulations go out to @etiboy56 and @ralph75 who both got the 2-0 score line and will share the 5k pot getting 2.5k each.
All the 'J's today as both @jersteemit and @jfang003 take home a HBI share each.
Not much more to add today except to say thanks to everyone for playing along and I'll catch you all back here tomorrow.

Hi, firstly, the contest is only open for people with a rep over 50 so please come back when you hit it which I guess won't be long.
Secondly, I see you made 4 posts today, the final one used informationwar tag, can I ask who taught you to use that tag? Whoever it was should have explained tag abuse to you because if you use tags incorrectly, the tribe admins will possibly flag you, so take care.
Good luck in acheiving your 50 rep and remember, in POB it's quality, NOT quantity that matter.
PS When you do enter again, don't simply cut and paste my prediction. Use your BRAIN
ok thanks for the instructions and guidance, i will keep that in mind
Best wishes fella, see you back here soon :-)
