What we don’t accept

Three things the inbox doesn’t accept

Unsolicited marketing

The contact inboxes are for editorial purposes. Marketing pitches, affiliate-programme enquiries and search-link building offers are not read.

Anonymous sources without standing

We accept anonymous tips where the source has standing — a player, a coach, a club employee, a federation official. We do not publish anonymous tips from accounts with no verifiable connection to the story.

Legal threats as a tactic

We engage with legal correspondence through our rights inbox. Legal correspondence sent to the corrections or news tips inboxes is not treated as an editorial matter.

Response times

When you can expect to hear back

Corrections: within 24 hours of confirmation. We publish the correction within 24 hours of confirming the error.

News tips: within 72 hours. We acknowledge the tip and tell you whether we are pursuing it.

Rights requests: within five working days. We tell you whether we can grant the request and what the licence terms would be.

General enquiries: within five working days. We may forward your message to the relevant desk if it is editorial.

Postal address

For formal correspondence

For formal correspondence, freedom-of-information requests and legal notices, our postal address is published in the imprint section of the contact page.

We are a small newsroom. We respond to formal correspondence within the timeframes required by applicable law.

How we work

The editorial standards we work to

Every page on comesportsnow sits on the same five editorial principles: sourced claims, named by-lines, visible timestamps, dated corrections and disclosed conflicts. The five principles are not aspirational; they are the gate every page passes through before it goes live.

Sourced claims

Every claim that can be checked against a named source is checked. If we cannot source a claim, we do not publish it.

Named by-lines

Every by-line belongs to the reporter who filed the copy. We do not run anonymous syndication or AI-only by-lines.

Visible timestamps

Every article shows when it was filed and when it was last verified. Updates carry their own timestamps.

Dated corrections

Corrections are published within 24 hours of confirmation and recorded on the corrections log.

Disclosed conflicts

Reporters disclose any personal connection to a team, competition or story. The disclosure appears at the bottom of the article when it applies.

What sport means to us

Coverage built for readers who follow for the love of the game

Most of our readers follow the game because they care about the shape of the side, the form of the player, the captaincy call that swung a match. They do not place a wager, and they do not need a betting angle to justify their interest.

Our coverage is built for them. The desk treats live scores as the starting point, not the headline. The desk publishes the supporting and counter evidence alongside every prediction. The desk does not run odds widgets, does not take bookmaker partnerships and does not run a paid tipster subscription.

If you follow sport for the love of the game, our coverage is built for you.

Three things the contact desk does not do

We don’t run search-link building

We do not accept link-exchange offers, guest-post pitches or search-driven content placements. The contact desk is for editorial purposes.

Editorial standards

How we sourced this story

The story was filed under the desk’s editorial standards. Every claim has been checked against a named source. The article is timestamped and will be updated as the variables change.

Primary sources

League feeds, official press releases and on-the-ground correspondents. Where attribution depends on a primary source, the source is named.

Verification

Every score, every quote and every figure has been verified against a second source before publication.

Corrections

If a claim needs to be corrected, a dated correction note is added at the top of the article and recorded on the corrections log.

What this story sits on

The reporting and the methodology

The reporting

This story sits on a combination of accredited correspondent reporting, official league data and the desk’s own statistical model. Where a claim depends on attribution, the source is named in the article. Where a claim depends on the model, the methodology is published in full.

The article is timestamped and will be updated as the variables change. The corrections log records any material change.

The methodology

The model used in the story is the desk’s standard v3, rebuilt earlier this year. The methodology is published in full on the predictions desk. Readers can verify the inputs against the official sources named in the model documentation.

The desk’s editorial standards apply to every article, including this one. The standards are published on the editorial-standards page.
