This site is the basis for my work, where most of my original work can be found and what proved to be the platform for such work as:

I write and report for WriteAngleMedia - a regional sports agency that specify in all things non-league for numerous publications (inc. Sunday Mercury & Non league Paper), meaning I spend all my weekends loving it up around a rather cold, undercooked pie - enjoying* the fantastic action in front of me.

*Could be enduring.

I love it really, it's a passion.

http://www.shoot.co.uk/news/tag/liverpool - I am Shoot! Magzine's weekly Liverpool FC blogger and this area is my up-most priority.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.triactivemedia.shoot - The monthly 'Shoot!' football magazine online application in which I've had a fair few pieces published.


And finally here's my Twitter profile, for any queries, questions or if I can be of any service:

David Attenborough move over...

Columbia - Venezuela is no mean feat in South America - especially taking into account the added pressure of it being a World Cup qualifying game. With Columbia surely attempting to show their dominance in a 'David & Goliath' type encounter...

The 1-1 result - a very decent turn-out for little Venezuela was over-looked world-wide though by the presence of a scene very much appearing like it belonged on 'Spring Watch'.
Fascinating images from the game were recorded of an Owl landing on top of one of the crossbars and grabbing an unsuspecting Rat with it's claws before attempting to gobble it up there and then!

After it seemingly decided to give up and save it for later - the Owl flew off with the poor (scarily huge!) Rat dangling from its claws. It didn't get too far though - as a mere few seconds into its journey the Owl had a nightmarish moment, as the Rat somehow managed to release itself from the claws - and face a pleasant little 30 foot drop from the skies.
Below is the amazing video from South American - wonder if the 'Super Rodent' made it out of its little adventure in one piece in the end?...

There may be a slightly disturbing pattern beginning to spread here with the relevence of Owls and Columbian football pitches - this very story, as picture-esque as it is reminded me of a horrifically brutal one not so long back, in which Luis Moreno - a Columbian centre-forward inexplicably kicked a defenseless Owl off of the field in frustration.
Totally unforgiving and fully deserved of his punishment - even if it was the rumored jail sentence!
