Rafael Benitez and Liverpool
11/02/2009
I have quite a few loves in life, but sports and writing are both right up there. Bleacherreport has been great for me and I've enjoyed using it over the last few years, though haven't been quite as busy as i maybe should have been!
I had some work experience this year at the Official Liverpool FC website which was great fun and I even managed to get a few articles published.
This year, starting mid-September, I am moving back 'home' to Glasgow to do an MA in Multimedia Journalism. I am very excited and can't wait to start it. Hopefully I'll be able to write much more on this website.
Enjoy, discuss and debate my articles and always remember;
Patrick Barclay knows nothing about football, but he can't half write.
Danny,
I have tried to put the cricketer under the knife in my latest.
Please give it a read if interested. Any feedback is much appreciated :)

Hey Danny,
Hey,
After the overwhelming success of the inaugural “round table” discussion in the World Football Community, we plan to move one step further.
This time round the discussion will be based on the following topic:
“Who do you think will win the Euro 2008 Championship and why?”
If you want to take part, then please write 50-100 words answering that question and send it to worldfootball@post.com
Kindly send in your answers latest by Tuesday ( 17 June 2008) and they will be published in an article on BR.
Regards,
SS

Hey Danny,
I've decided to do a 'Round Table' column in the World Football community, inspired by Michael Whittenberg's examples in the NBA section and Jon Naylor in the Cricket section. What this basically comprises of is making a collaborative article from many different writers about a particular subject.
The headline I want to use is:
'If you wanted your club to buy a certain player, who would it be and why?'.
I want to get a global perspective and hopefully build a really good discussion.Of course,this does not relate only to the English Premier League which means your favourite club could be anywhere in the world (preferably it should be in one of the more known European countries) so even if you support Bayern Munich,AS Roma,Newcastle,Southampton,Arsenal,Sevilla,Barcelona,Lyon or CSKA Moscow,feel free to write in.
If you want to take part, then please write 50-100 words answering that question and send it to salaar_doit@hotmail.com.
I'll collate the quickest entrants and publish an article on BR.
Regards,
SS

Hi Danny,
Having been CL of the cricket section for a little while now, I'm looking for new ways to get people talking and build the community, hopefully making cricket one of the more popular sports on Bleacher Report.
With that in mind, I've decided to do a 'Round Table' column, based on Michael Whittenberg's examples in the NBA section. What this basically comprises of is making a collaborative article from many different writers about a particular subject.
The headline I want to use is:
'If you could have any player from another country in your national team, who would it be and why?'.
I want to get a global perspective and hopefully build a really good discussion.
If you want to take part, then please write 50-100 words answering that question and send it to bleacherrportcricket@gmail.com. I'll collate the quickest entrants and publish an article on BR.
Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you soon,
Jon

Hi Danny,
I appreciate your concerns and totally understand you wanting to improve the quality of the section - it's something I'm striving for myself.
I don't know how the articles get prominence on the front page - I think it's something to do with the star ratings that editors give them. I do look over almost every article myself so I try to keep the standard of writing up, even if I can't control the content.
I really like your writing and think you can bring a lot to the section - your work definitely doesn't go unnoticed by me at least! You definitely have great ability and a good insight into the game.
The cricket section is very new and only just taking off, so at the moment I'm trying to focus on getting the name around with plenty of writers, before becoming more selective once a good base is achieved.
The standard of writing should improve as a result of more experience - like I say, it's a new section with a lot of new writers.
I hope it doesn't put you off writing as I value your contributions greatly and see you as a key player in the progression of the section.
Hopefully, with a core of really talented, passionate writers we can make the cricket section a force to be reckoned with.
Thanks for raising your concerns and I hope I've allayed some fears.
Keep writing,
Jon
