A Behind the Scenes view of yesterday's matchday

[Montreal Wanderer]

An enjoyable read. Don't take this the wrong way but if you want to make a career of writing, you have a slight problem with verbs. You say "Phil Brown, the former Hull City manager and Bolton player was sat close by." which may be normal in north country speech, but in a written report it should be either "Phil Brown, the former Hull City manager and Bolton player was sitting close by." or "Phil Brown, the former Hull City manager and Bolton player sat close by." Similarly with the photo caption "Stood in the press box".

Truth be told, Monty, he already writes far more ably than many applicants we get here. Some of them manage to spell "work experience" incorrectly in two different ways on the same application. I suspect that's what you get for teaching feel rather than structure: a technically illiterate generation. Still, it'll keep sub-editors in a job.

I guess you have a point. I even know of a human resources manager who consistently uses the word "definately". I would have said something until I realized he lives in Wales which may affect things.

This particular caption caught my eye...

'Sheffield Wednesday supporter "Tango" is stood in his usual spot'

Anything you'd like to declare TD...??

"One Bolton Tango, there's only one Bolton Tango".....he's an imposter.
