Partially true, there no consequences mostly to online troll attacks etc. But, you have to bear in mind that it's the written word, no emotion , tone , facial expression to support the meaning or intent. Sometimes it can be not what's actually said, but how it's been received. On many occasions its just sport to some and enjoyment winding others up.

Yes from a forum and commercial perspective that's exactly right ! If you post , then it's current and visitors can see it is recent, you post in a specific club and it has no impact whatsoever on the viewed front-page.It all stays out of view, old and stale. As for the remark on participation and the topic falling off the page, that can't happen as it was, and shows a distinct lack of understanding as to how the forum works which is surprising considering it was an ex mod who made it. Again, post in a club, that club stays,there the other non used stale ones will stay too because the posts are not made in the general forum there is nothing being posted so you end up with clubs showing no activity for months on end neing displayed giving the appearance the whole place is inactive or pretty much deadl. Someone else commented on lack of participation on the news posts etc, whilst it would be ideal, it doesn't really matter, they are getting read, the views are there at 10x more than they were before they were introduced, and anyone visiting the forum now sees the entire page of recent posts not old stale unused topic, Because it's fresh the old topics are now descending as they should. Post in the main forum, show activity, if there is sufficient activity in a particular area/team then it can be pinned, but you have to have flow through which this forum hasn't had prior to the changes. This is now CLOSED.

Eddie Howe spoke of his "relief" as Newcastle edged past Blackburn in a penalty shootout to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup - a competition the Magpies boss says they are "desperate" to win. Martin Dubravka was Newcastle's hero at Ewood Park, pushing Dominic Hyam's penalty on to the post after also saving from Sammie Szmodics, who had earlier scored in normal time. Harvey Barnes missed his spot-kick for the Premier League side, but Fabian Schar, Bruno Guimaraes, Elliot Anderson and Anthony Gordon scored their attempts to take them through after a thriller. "There is only one emotion and that is relief," said Howe. "It was a hard-fought cup tie. Both sides gave everything to get the win and didn't give an inch, but we are delighted to be in the hat for the next round. "No-one is underestimating the importance of the FA Cup so the players are very happy. "This keeps us in a competition we are desperate to do well in and also gets us closer to Wembley. We're one game away so hopefully we can get a good draw. "Our target this year is the FA Cup and to finish as high as possible in the Premier League, and this is hopefully pivotal towards that."

Liverpool "need miracles" to ease their injury woes as they prepare to host Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round, says manager Jurgen Klopp. Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who has an ankle injury, is the latest player to join Klopp's absent players. Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai are training, but remain doubts to face Championship side Southampton at Anfield on Wednesday. On the injury list, Klopp said: "I wouldn't say it is much improved." Gravenberch had to be carried off on a stretcher during Sunday's EFL Cup victory against Chelsea, although returned to the pitch - on crutches and wearing a protective boot - to join in with the trophy celebrations. The 21-year-old Dutch international joins Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Curtis Jones, Stefan Bajcetic and Diogo Jota on the sidelines. Klopp said he would to have to wait to see how winger Salah, striker Nunez and midfielder Szoboszlai came through a session on Tuesday before making a decision on their involvement against promotion-hopefuls Southampton. Midfielder Wataru Endo is also a doubt with a knock. "Ryan is not available. It could have been worse, but it is bad enough to rule him out of this game and the next game. We shall see," said Klopp. "We need miracles for a few players, so I don't want to rule them out for too long. But it is touch and go with a lot of the boys who were not available for the final." Liverpool's landed the first major silverware of the season by beating Chelsea at Wembley and aim to keep in the hunt for all four major competitions they are contesting against Russell Martin's side.

Eddie Gray collects the ball in the centre circle and immediately sets his sights on Chelsea’s goal. But David Webb has other ideas. Fuelled by fresh memories of his roasting at the hands of the Leeds winger a couple of weeks prior, the defender hits him, both feet off the ground, no prisoners. Bang. It takes all of two minutes for the 1970 FA Cup final replay to live up to its billing as a game best avoided by the faint of heart. It is a match that has gone down in football folklore as a meeting of pure malice between a defeated Leeds United side renowned for having the muscle to match their magnificence and a victorious Chelsea team with flashiness and ferocity in equal measure. Football was a very different game half a century ago, when much greater leniency was shown to crunching, full-bloodied tackles and their aftermath. But even by the standards of the time it made for brutal viewing. Such is its enduring reputation, it has been re-refereed twice since by leading officials according to modern interpretations of the rules. In 1997, David Elleray concluded he would have shown six red cards, while in 2020 Michael Oliver opted for 11. On the night, referee Eric Jennings brandished just one yellow card. As the two clubs gear up to face each other in the FA Cup for the first time since that game 54 years ago, BBC Sport looks back at one of the most notorious encounters in English football history.

Great Britain's Andy Murray has suggested he may only have a "few months" left of his tennis career after earning his second win of 2024 in Dubai. The 36-year-old beat Canadian Denis Shapovalov 4-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-3. "I probably don't have too long left but I'll do as best as I can these last few months," he said after the victory. Murray was on a six-match losing streak until last week when he secured his first win of the year in Doha. "I still love competing and still love the game but it gets harder and harder to compete the older you get, to keep your body fit and fresh," he said. Three-time Grand Slam champion Murray's potential retirement has been a topic of discussion for several years after the Scot underwent hip replacement surgery in 2019. But Murray defied the odds to return to the court, winning another title and reaching three other finals, the last of which was last year when he lost to Daniil Medvedev in Doha. Boulter cruises into second round in San Diego This year, however, Murray lost his opening four matches of the 2024 season and said he was in a "terrible moment" but that he "won't quit" despite speculation around when he might decide to retire.

India's series win over England is "incredible" for the future of their Test team, says former England captain Michael Vaughan. The hosts took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series with a gripping five-wicket victory in Ranchi. The result is particularly impressive given India's considerably depleted squad. "They've got five world-class players missing," Vaughan told the Test Match Special podcast. "They also lost a very important toss [in Ranchi], and they faced a first-innings deficit. It's an incredible win for now, but also for the future of this team." Star batter Virat Kohli has missed the series for personal reasons and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant is continuing his recovery from a car accident. Experienced middle-order batter KL Rahul is struggling with a quad injury, seamer Mohammed Shami is injured and India's leading wicket-taker in the series Jasprit Bumrah was rested for the fourth Test. But the team's young, inexperienced talent led them to a series victory in Ranchi, with 24-year-old Shubman Gill, who is viewed by many Indian fans as Kohli's heir, steering them to their target of 192 with an impressively composed half-century. He shared a crucial sixth-wicket stand of 72 with player of the match Dhruv Jurel, who backed up his crucial first-innings 90 with 39 not out. The partnership steered India out of trouble after losing five wickets for 36 runs either side of lunch. READ MORE

The England jersey appears to be "weighing heavy" for Steve Borthwick's players after defeat by Scotland in the Six Nations, says Ugo Monye. England's attack continued to struggle as the losing run against their oldest rivals stretched to four games. Former England wing Monye says Borthwick may have to "evolve" as head coach before the team improves. "Any of the top four Premiership sides would look more cohesive against Scotland than England did," said Monye. Speaking to BBC Rugby Union Daily, Monye added: "The only difference is the shirt. "Scotland are miles better than England and have been for several years and we know international rugby is a step above. "But with the collective buy-in of having a load of players performing well at domestic level, you would expect them to grow into that jersey, and at the moment it look like it weighs heavy." Six Nations talking points from round three 'England's capitulation disappointing after starting so well' England made 'too many errors' - Borthwick Six Nations fixtures, standings & BBC coverage details Borthwick's side started brightly at Murrayfield as George Furbank scored an early try before the error count began to mount against a Scotland side who had a clinical edge their visitors lacked. England are ranked fifth in the world but have scored two tries in each of their three Six Nations games so far and Monye says the "philosophy" must change. READ MORE

The 2024 Formula 1 season starts in Bahrain this weekend - but what are the big talking points ahead of the new campaign? BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson answers your questions about what we can expect this year. Red Bull lay down marker - can they be stopped in 2024? F1 Back at Base: The Bombshell - Hamilton tells Mercedes he's leaving What is the point of watching this season if the winner of pretty much everything is already known? Andrew: It's easy to feel that way, especially after last season. But sometimes sport is like this. Fortunately, it is also unpredictable. That's part of its beauty. Yes, Max Verstappen and Red Bull look strong favourites and everyone believes they have the fastest car. But it's the fastest car now. Within Red Bull, there is a feeling that they will reach a plateau with development this season, where gains are harder to find. In theory, that should happen to them before it happens to other teams. So there's still hope they could be caught in what is after all the longest season ever. Whether that happens soon enough to affect the championship is a different question. As Lando Norris has said: "Are they beatable? You have to say yes, because we were very close at certain times (last year) and at certain times we did. But the question is, are they beatable over a season? I think that will be very difficult." If Verstappen does win the title again, who is going to push him closest? Andrew: If the Red Bull is as good as it looks, and it keeps that advantage all season, no-one will be pushing him. His team-mate, Sergio Perez, doesn't have Verstappen's quality, and as yet it appears those who could rival him - Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, Fernando Alonso, George Russell, Norris - don't have fast enough cars. If the questioner is asking who will be the closest team to Red Bull, right now that looks like a toss up between Ferrari and Mercedes, with Aston Martin next in line. But remember the huge progress McLaren made last year. They believe they can keep up that trajectory. If so, they, too, will be in the mix at the front. READ MORE

Everton's penalty for breaching Premier League financial rules has been reduced from 10 points to six after an appeal. The club were immediately docked 10 points in November for breaking profit and sustainability rules (PSR) in the three-year period to 2021-22. The punishment - the biggest in Premier League history - dropped Everton from 14th to 19th in the table. The reduction lifts them from 17th to 15th, although the club is facing another possible points deduction. Everton, who admitted the breach, said they are "satisfied" with the reduction though they now face an anxious wait after being charged in January along with Nottingham Forest for alleged breaches in their accounts for 2022-23. That case must be heard by 8 April, however, any appeal could take that process to 24 May, the week after the season has concluded. What happens next? Will there still be chaos at end of the season? Nottingham Forest financial breach case to be heard next week A Premier League statement read: "Everton FC appealed the sanction imposed against it on nine grounds, each of which related to the sanction rather than the fact of the breach." "A three-person appeal board concluded that the independent commission which imposed the 10-point penalty "made legal errors" on two grounds. It said the commission was "wrong" to punish Everton for being "less than frank" over what it told the Premier League about its new stadium debt. The appeal board also said the commission was "wrong not to take into account available benchmarks" and that a six-point sanction was "broadly in line" with English Football League (EFL) guidelines, with Sheffield Wednesday's six-point deduction in 2020 when their losses were rising used as a guide. Everton said the appeal board's decision to overturn the commission's finding that they failed to act in good faith was "an incredibly important point of principle". READ MORE

West Ham boss David Moyes has received a lot of criticism this season but even the most disgruntled Hammers fan cannot argue against his impact on Jarrod Bowen. The England international has spent his career playing in wide positions but earlier in the campaign Moyes opted to deploy him as an out-and-out striker. The outcome has been Bowen hitting 14 goals - his best return in the Premier League - and a first career hat-trick in the 4-2 win against Brentford on Monday. It was the perfect time for Bowen to repay his manager's faith in him in that central role, with the pressure having been mounting on Moyes following a humiliating 6-0 home loss to Arsenal on 11 February and then a 2-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest six days later. Brentford boss Thomas Frank described Bowen as "unplayable" on Monday and for the player himself he could hardly have timed it better, with England boss Gareth Southgate no doubt getting into the business end of determining who makes his squad for this summer's European Championship in Germany. "It gets him back in the goals," said Moyes. "I'm sure if he scores like that he'll keep in Gareth [Southgate]'s mind. "If you can play wide and you're a goalscorer you will be of interest to the international manager. "Jarrod Bowen at times has looked that way but hasn't quite got the goals. Some of his performances recently have gone unnoticed because we haven't won. "He was Johnny on the Spot and got the goals. He was a threat in other ways too." READ MORE
