One to link posts from unhappy lawyers? (8)

I believe the answer is:

crossbar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one to link posts' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'unhappy lawyers?' is the wordplay.
'unhappy' becomes 'cross' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'lawyers?' becomes 'bar' (the bar can mean the legal profession).
'cross'+'bar'='CROSSBAR'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crossbar that I've seen before include "Horizontal beam on goalposts" , "Post connecting goalposts" , "Helps to define the goal" , "Part of bicycle or goal" , "Horizontal part of a goal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
