About

Having started writing in 2009 I have produced work at varying outputs during my time with b/r. Having started slowly I eventually took part in the b/r internship during 2011, earning a place as a Featured Columnist during that time.

As work and life commitments increased I stood down as an FC in early 2012 as I felt I couldn't commit enough time to create quality work several times a week.

As well as writing on b/r I also occasionally write for seventy3 magazine in the UK and spend as much of my time as possible watching and taking part in as many sports as possible.

    Incredible. 400,000 reads from one single article. I have no idea how you got (and are continuing to be) so damn lucky.

    Hi Tommy. I just want to clarify that the article I have written about Luis Suarez is based on the outcome of a two day investigation carried out by an Independent Regulatory Commission. That investigation not only had enough basis to charge Suarez and bring him to a hearing, but then had a two day hearing, the outcome of which was that he was guilty.

    This is the evidence for my claim that he has acted in a racist manner. In my opinion the article does not make any bold or unfounded claims about Suarez and his actions. It simply reacts to the outcome of an investigation.

    Hope that this makes sense to you.

    Holy shit! Now listen I usually enjoy the Bleacher Report, but you must be the without a doubt dumbest person to make an article where you without ANY EVIDENCE justifies Suarez 8 match ban and furthermore calls Liverpool racists. I mean how freaking one-sided and dumb are you my good sir? I'll ignore all your articles from now on. Hopefully the Bleacher Report has better writes than you. HOLY SHIT! You ignorant toll!

    I'm usually calm and collected, but I can't stand people like you. Get your facts straight before you throw around with accusations. DAMN you toll, you ruined the Bleacher Report!

    Hey, I rarely say anything like this, but I was disapointed to see that your list of women's soccer stars didn't have the toughest and one of the most skilled players in the game: Christine Sinclair. She broke her bloody nose and yet came back and scored off a beautiful rocket of a free kick against Germany in the World Cup this year. If you want a male equivilent, how about C. Ronaldo? Constantly being harassed and at the end of bad tackles, and yet he still dominates games and scores glorious free kicks.

    Anyhoo, I thought I'd share that one. On a different note, I loved the article about the pressures on the managers in England. Good read.

    Sorry only saw that comment you made on my wall there. No worries. I enjoy a good discussion where 2 people can debate a matter without getting personal and obscene. Keep up the good work and I look forward to sparing with you again in the near future.
