Sometimes young sports journalists embellish a little bit, sometimes they get caught out doing it. Martin Lipton, a hack writer for the Daily Mirror just got taken to task for it on Chelsea TV. I think my favorite quip is when she asks who his source is, a flip flop, a towel?
I've played soccer since I could walk thanks to my father and love keeping up on all the latest gear and gab. I'm in my twenties, and I'm lucky enough to have found work in search marketing for a leading soccer retailer after completing my M.A. at Georgetown in 2008. My team is Liverpool, and national side is Ireland, but I've also got a passion for GAA and a number of sports. Feel free to give me a shout on Google+
