Matthew's Bio
I'm a college student about to go on and do my master's. I'm also an editor, part time, for Bleacher Report.
Living in Ireland can be a pain sometimes. You might notice a lot of irish people on Bleacher for such a small country-this has everything to do with the the usually terrible weather here.
I support Leinster, my hometown Rugby Union team and I look out for Roma and Valencia in football. Do I have a Premiership side? I guess that changes every season depending on who I'd like to see do well. (I will admit looking out for United and then Sunderland at one stage as Roy Keane is a personal hero of mine).
I write about football, rugby and MMA. Probably won't get a chance to write much going back to college and all but I hope you can check out past articles and of course the new Champions League Rountable series I hope to be doing every now and again over the next year.

I'm also a bit of a film fanatic, here's some of my (brief) film reviews for Amazon:

Hi Mathew,
Hope you well my friend. Just wanted to plug my latest article. Its on Thomas Vermaelen, Arsenal's new all action defender.
I've always had soft spot for attacking defenders so have a look when you get a chance.
Thanks in advance.

With both FIFA and PES coming out, I thought I'd write an article about them.
Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for the edit... LOL, of course there was a little humor injected to help get my point across, but I really am a big fan of Hardy.

Thanks for the input.
I'm glas you appreciated the premise of the article. That's why Opinion articles are fun for me because there can never be a right or wrong.
Keep checking my stuff out.
Until next time...

Hi Matthew,
Thanks for editing my article.
Surely you can see the inconsistencies and prejudice in the suspensions being handed out, or not being handed out in some cases in International rugby?
