JonnyBoy Posted 15 August 2014 Posted 15 August 2014 I have recently been accepted to write for www.thematch.co.uk and i have written my first article. let me know what you think... open to positive criticism http://www.thematch.co.uk/decade-passed/
Vacamion Posted 15 August 2014 Posted 15 August 2014 Dude, Well done for writing a piece on our beloved club, but if you are going to ask people you don't know to read what you have written, the least you could do would be to ensure that you don't pepper your article with grammatical, punctutation and spelling errors. Use a spell checker, get someone else to read it for you or do some research into where the apostrophe should be used or the difference between "of" and "off", etc. I regret to advise you that there are some pretty glaring errors in there. Once the reader begins noticing this, it is difficult to concentrate on what you are actually saying. Best of luck and COYB.
Vardinhio Posted 15 August 2014 Posted 15 August 2014 Nice article to summarise the last ten years, well done.

Vacamion Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 For me, it was '...a sea of blue in absolute ruptures' which made me respond.
StanSP Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 Also done similar for the Planet Goodison blog linked on here the other day. Shame I was only restricted to 500(ish) words. And was written before Barkley's injury got announced! See what you think http://planetgoodison.com/2014/08/view-from-the-visiting-end-leicester-city/
Bamba's Babes Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 I'm guessing that you haven't had any professional training (University etc.) and to be honest, you can tell. You probably decided to write because you enjoy it but I would advise that you create your own blog and go from there, iron out the mistakes on your own publication. It's also the fault of the editor for not pulling you up on some pretty basic mistakes. Not trying to get you down, we're faceless people who you can choose to ignore or give us the finger but you don't want people you know thinking the same.
