About Owen »

Editor on B/R, Featured Columnist for Sunderland, and Web Correspondent for Goal.com UK. Was born and bred in Sunderland...but don't hold it against me.

My main job is working for the NHS as a Management Trainee in Finance.

You can catch me on www.facebook.com/osgwatson

Oh, and there is no point leaving a link on my wall if you haven't read/commented on some of my articles because I won't bother reading it (obviously different if I've chatted to you on here/FB)...you wouldn't post copies of your article through the letterboxes in your neighbourhood, why behave like that online?

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!

Hey,

After what is being called 'the greatest injustice in sport', the question is, what on earth is FIFA doing?

Owen, after the Henry handball yesterday, I have decided that replay must be implemented in the beautiful game somehow. Please tell me your reaction.
