    I work with people with Autism. I think you can do it. Maybe you should bring your ideas from time to time? I think you'd get some good input.
    The BBS can be your imagination! I do understand the issues though.

    Having the done same studies when I was your age I can only agree with what others have already said. You need to brush up on those things as well as having a unique read to your writing, if you get what I mean. Don't be trite. However, match reports are particularly difficult to write in such a manner as you're forever explaining similar things throughout the report.

    But good luck with it. And definitely think about changing your first name to Ultimate or Keyboard.

    You Reds.

    I'll go with what the others have pointed out - it doesn't really appear to be of an undergraduate quality yet. Why not visit other sites hosted by fans of other clubs (they don't have to be Barnsley fans) to get some good ideas on how you can take your content and presentation to the next level?

    Others have already mentioned spelling and grammar, but I just wanted to add one point on that. Don't EVER let anyone, on here or otherwise, convince you that it doesn't matter if you get spelling and grammar wrong. IT BLOODY DOES MATTER! Not on here, as long as the reader can understand the post, but in real life, and in journalism, it's key.

    Couple of personal preference points on writing - one space after a comma, two spaces after a full stop, and also justify the text if you can. Purely my opinion. However, many websites, including this one and I believe Facebook, truncate successive spaces to a single space so you can't always see that.

    Try to think of some suitable similes/metaphors when writing - that way you can build up your own style by using similar comparisons in different articles. For example, "he crept in unseen on the blind side like an SAS hero behind enemy lines", or "he launched his body horizontally at the ball like a cheetah on its fatal pounce", or "he towered above the defence like a very tall towering thing" (only kidding!).

    Stick at it and check and double check your spelling and grammar. I've read this post dozens of times before clicking "Sumbit", as it really would be embarrassing if there was a mistake in it.

    "He stumbled haplessly around the hotel landing, like a lost teenager in London. Embarrassed, like a Sheffield United fan, who had just witnessed a home defeat to Fleetwood, he wondered what on earth he might do next. Naked as a new born baby, he came up with a Baldrick-esque, "cunning plan". "

    I'll give you that one, although I think it's debateable, but nobody's commented on the deliberate mistake yet hee hee!

    I sincerely hope the incident to which you allude can be repeated later this year. This time I will be ready. Very good though!

    I gave you a 'like' for that very deliberate mistake.

    I looked for the mistake for ages before sumbitting to defeat.
