About Andrew »

I have been here now for seven months, and I finally will write a proper bio (somewhat).

I originally became a sports fan by watching some major sporting events without realizing it (1998 World Cup final, 1999 Champions League final, 1999 MLB Playoffs etc), and from the excitement that I got from watching these games, I started to take a deeper interest into many different types of sports all throughout the world.

Around six months ago, I was searching Google when I came across an article that criticized Federico Macheda after he scored the winning goal for Manchester United over Aston Villa that Sunday, which was on this site. After seeing it and reading it, I realized that I could write something better than that, and that caused me to start my career here on B/R.

During my time here, I have come across many different crazy characters that have existed on this website, and with them, they have helped me discover that there is always two sides to every story and at the same time have made me a better writer, and have made me more knowledgeable about sports.

I also support all sports except for sports that are non-athletic (Sorry Cheese Rolling and Darts, that means you)!

Also, please don't hesitate to post an article to me on my Bulletin Board or comment on one of my articles, no matter what the subject is, as it will help me improve and I will DEFINITELY leave you a response of some sorts to whatever message I get.

    Austin commented on Everton Head to Old Trafford to Face Manchester United

    Four minutes of added time. It's shocking isn't it. The amount of time the authorities give United to score a fourth goal? Disgraceful!!

    Hey,

    Following up yesterday's great debate is the one I've been waiting to write for a long time, and the one I think may be the best debate yet and a must-read for any football fan! Should video technology be introduced into football? Would doing so take away from the 'magic' that makes the game so great? And would it help or hinder the referees? Have your say in the Great Debate!

    Hey,

    Henry's handball has got the whole football world talking. What better time for another Great Debate? Should Henry have owned up? Is he a cheat? Should FIFA have allowed a replay? Have your say in the great debate!
