I've decided not to write any more previews for games being played in the latter stages of the competition, as I've noticed that information from my blog has started to appear in a couple of newspaper websites and I don't see why some lazy journalist should take the credit for my work!
One newspaper in particular have sadly taken this a step further and have blatantly ripped off my semi final match report! The report appeared on their website six days after I published it on my blog and the journalist concerned hasn't even bothered to hide the fact, as he has practically copied it word-for-word!! I've sent a letter of complaint to them but I don't expect much of a reply (if any!).
Naturally I am very annoyed at this happening. It's hard enough to find the time to update the blog, while holding down a full time job and being a father to three young children (my spare time is practically non existent). In an effort to combat this problem, I have decided that all match reports from games that I attend will, from now on, appear on the blog at least one week after the game has been played, which should be after newspapers concerned have covered that match, so their bone idle employees can come up with their own interesting facts and stop stealing mine!
