About Karl »

Originally from Norwich in England, I grew up a Red through my father and his family who are all from Liverpool. I lived and studied in Liverpool for three years before moving to Spain, where I now live.

Liverpool FC is my team, and the focus of my articles are likely to be either on Liverpool or on football in a wider context.

----

After ten months away I have rejoined the BR world, hopefully to stay if I have the time and the articles are well received!!

Hey Karl—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Liverpool page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

Hey Karl,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Karl!

Karl,

Nothing for me to do here but apologize. For whatever it's worth, my intent in the revisions was never to alter the facts laid out in the piece--only to adjust the style and pacing. The mistakes I made (i.e. assuming that a "Liverpool" hat trick was an "EPL" hat trick) came out of sloppiness rather than intent--which certainly doesn't excuse them, but which will hopefully at least restore your general faith in the spirit and premise of the editing process. Again, I really am sorry, and I'm glad you were able to revert to the original before too many commenters noted the errors. If it means anything, I've posted my own comment on the article confirming yours.
