Birmingham City's Barry Ferguson Must Play For Scotland Again
11/19/2009
Andrew has been around on Bleacher virtually from the start and a community leader for around 2 years in the World Football section. He is a former professional footballer in the South African lower leagues with a love for very much everything football.
24 year old Andrew spent the last 3 months of the 2008/09 season as a Setanta football reporter for http://www.setanta.com/uk in the Scottish Premier League section. He writes match reports, gives out player ratings and covers the post match interviews every weekend from an SPL ground.
Sadly, the demise of Setanta means he will be looking for new employment during his final year of his BA Journalism degree at university but has something in the pipeline. He'll keep you all posted.
For anyone checking out this site it is important to know Andrew used his work on Bleacher Report to land his job at Setanta as well as an article published in the Thomas Cook travel magazine. This is not only practice for a career in the industry, this is very much a shop window for young writers so aspiring journalists should keep this in mind.
Bio:-
Andrew moved to South Africa as a 13 year old and grew up in a culture of sport in the rainbow nation. He returned to Scotland in 2008 with a failed football career and a Diploma in Journalism under his belt. During his studies he spent plenty of time at St Georges Park, Port Elizabeth, working with the Protea's and some of the best cricketers in the world. Come to think of it, a year full of once in a lifetime moments.

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

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

Hey Andy, in what I hope to be a new feature to the site, I've written a comprehensive biography of France Legend Michel Platini, it's long so I can understand if you don't have the time to look at it but otherwise I'd really appreciate your opinion on it.

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

Im guessing that at this stage, Darren Fletcher is probably a god to you!
After his recent heroics, I think he has endeared himself to a lot of people.
Then again, you were always a huge fan anyway!

DeleteHey,
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!
