his appointment was approved by the fa board.poke to the chair of the women in football group, and her reaction: yes, and there has been a really mixed reaction from the women's game, and there is some excitement, there is some condemnation. i think, as far as women in football are confirmed, it is really about the process of this appointment, which has taken four months. the few targets for the job seem to have slipped through the fa's hands, and that is worrying in itself. and, we have ended up with somebody who does not meet the criteria of the advertised job. 0nce again, which was a similar situation to what happened four years ago on the appointment of mark sampson —— sampson. it has been a shaky start. where do you stand on the tweets? sampson. it has been a shaky start. where do you stand on the tweets7m is really disappointing. really disappointing that he made those comments in the first place. i am bad that he has shut down the account, and i'm glad that he has apologised for those comments, and let's hope that the fa a

the thing about the fa cup is you always know they are.med an unlikely source, particularly when leeds united took an early lead in the championship. berardi benefited from a deflected shot, even with so much of the game still to play, the league 2 side may have feared the worst but if they did, it didn't appear to show. they should have been level before the break but with a huge chance missed, they would be made to wait for another. but when it came, it would be taken. it is in! an own goal! newport county are level! now with seconds remaining, the cup surprise that seemed unlikely didn't seem so unlikely any more... 2—1 to newport county! a late leeds united red card didn't spoil the occasion, this was the big fa cup surprise. this was newport‘s day. adam wild, bbc news. we had a tough week, we had a fire at the training ground which didn't help preparations. we've had illness throughout the week at the camp. my little one was at the hospital last night. we had all of this but they are an amazing group of players. i am so proud to be th

this is the fa website, where you'll find the job description.. with salford city fc. they won that game 251. neville co—owns this, much smaller club alongside some of his former manchester united teammates. next, to the tweets from 2012. first we have some casual sexism. "when i said morning, men, i thought the women would be too busy preparing brea kfast/getting the kids ready/making the beds" "women always want equality until it comes to paying the bills 5 #hypocrites." and then this. relax, i'm back, chilled. just battered the wife. feel better now." two things to note here. if this was a tweet with a "joke" about racist or homophobic violence, he'd almost certainly be out of a job. two, its estimated 1.2 million women in the uk experience domestic abuse every year 5 so this issue directly affects many, many families in the uk. next this is the uk government's sports minister tracy crouch says it is right that phil neville has apologised, sexism of any kind must not be tolerated. next, the campaign group kick it out asks if the fa will be cha
