If you've watched Louis Theroux The Settlers, there are still six Israeli football teams on occupied Palestinian territory Fifa has taken no action despite it breaching their rules, thus allowing 'football to be an instrument of territorial expansion' inews.co.uk/sport/football…

Every football journalist has a moral duty to take a stand against this egregious decision by the FA. Does nothing to protect women and now makes them complicit in a movement that wants trans people erased from society.

Fuck this beyond belief... The FA had an opportunity to provide sanctuary and instead we get this - a cruel blanket overreaction that will only end up hurting women, just to hurt trans people more🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ Somewhere in all this we've lost what sport is supposed to be

Such sad news. What Rowling etc need to realise is that in their quest to defend women’s rights, they’ve spoken over the 1000s of women at grassroots for whom trans inclusion is a vital part of the women’s football ecosystem: a sport rooted in tolerance, community and acceptance

Another grim twist in this: the 20 or so registered trans players in England were emailed by the FA offering them six free therapy sessions after being banned from playing women's football, but no immediate on-pitch alternative 🏳️‍⚧️ inews.co.uk/sport/football…

The FA might have banned trans women from women’s football, but Fae Fulconis says they’ll have to pull her off the pitch themselves Hackney WFC’s Fae is one of the 20 or so women affected - a pleasure to hear her story and why this impacts all women 🏳️‍⚧️ inews.co.uk/sport/football…

Spent a couple of days at the O2 to answer the question: how big is too big for darts? How much can sport’s biggest success story eat before it has to start eating itself? 🎯 The Observer observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
