@FA Utterly outrageous, disgusting, and illogical decision. You had qualifying criteria in place beforehand that you deemed safe and proportionate, and nothing has changed with or for those registered who met those conditions.

An update following the Supreme Court ruling.

Is there any women’s football on? Cos this is awful 😂 #ENGBEL

@Cmacf76 You’ve been a superstar Colin. Thank you for everything you’ve done. All the very best for whatever is next for you. X

Some personal news. After 12.5 years at Stonewall I’m going to be leaving in the summer. It has been the honour of my life to lead Stonewall Scotland, and then our work across Cymru and Northern Ireland….

THREAD Following yesterday’s post by a certain ex-footballer, here’s something from a talk I did at a BBC event recently. Clip one - what’s the difference between the two pieces of commentary here?

Galop's statement on the non-statutory draft guidance for schools and colleges on gender questioning children

Emma Hayes responds to Joey Barton 🗣 🔗 youtube.com/watch?v=VkwfMh…

An important statement from LGBT+ leaders, including myself 'For far too long now, we have seen trans people and communities used in a culture war, mocked by those who are in positions of power, and inaccurately portrayed as a threat to other communities' consortium.lgbt/enough/

👏👏

Trans people are people. It's as simple as that. We're proud to be one of several prominent LGBTQ+ orgs behind this statement.

There’s really only ever been one “trans debate” I’ve thought was worth having. And it’s been done, here on French TV. So we can all move on with our lives now please, and leave trans folks in peace.

This is awful, as well as dehumanising, and demeaning for all. Trans women are women. Trans rights are human rights.

Trans people are not an ideology. They are not a problem that needs to be solved. They are human beings. They are our friends, family and colleagues and they deserve to live their lives with dignity, respect and free from discrimination.

@rick9525 @JacquiOatley This absolutely this. Confirms same understanding or not, really quickly.

*Just released* Here’s the full VAR audio of the Luis Diaz disallowed goal for #LFC at #THFC on Saturday… 👇🏼

@JacquiOatley I picked a good day to visit Molineux for the first time 🤣

Early start from London for #wwfc v #mcfc #mancity. Big job for Wolves to try to keep City at bay, but one thing’s guaranteed, Matheus Nunes will receive quite the reception from the home supporters after he went on strike here to force his move at end of window! Could be lively.

You’ve gotta see this. In full. Football is football. Sport is sport. End of story. Get into sport played by women, and the phenomenal athletes in the @FIFAWWC Copyright @orangefrance

At last, a thoroughly sensible piece of writing, that articulated exactly why I, a cis lesbian, stand in solidarity with trans folk 🏳️‍⚧️. #LwiththeT

Great two days with a superb bunch of people. Worth missing the FA Cup final for..! #walkingfootball

LOVE THIS CITY! 💙

22/23 PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!!! 🏆 3️⃣-IN-A-ROW!!! 🙌

A short story about "cheats"... In 2014, one of the 2023 Champions League finalists were investigated for breaching FFP (incidentally alongside Liverpool) for alleged breaches in the financial reporting periods ending in 2012 and 2013 theguardian.com/football/2014/… In 2015, one of the 2023 Champions League finalists entered a settlement agreement covering the seasons 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 paying a settlement total of up to €20m uefa.com/MultimediaFile… The club's manager, Roberto Mancini defiantly said "UEFA have understood that we're doing things the right way. I don't think our transfer plans will change much." Yaya Toure was among those to be linked to the club. In 2022, one of the 2023 Champions League finalists stated: "in February 2022 UEFA opened proceedings in respect of the club...due to the FFP break-even deficit we recorded in the monitoring period covering the reporting periods 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021... A break-even deficit is also expected for the reporting period ending in June 2022 and already communicated to UEFA." football-italia.net/inter-to-discu… In August 2022, one of the 2023 Champions League finalists entered into its second settlement agreement with UEFA taking another fine of up to €30m, and the Settlement Regime covered the five reporting periods ending in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and the five seasons 2022/23, 2023/24, 2024/25, 2025/26 and 2026/27. It remains within the restrictions set out in that settlement agreement. editorial.uefa.com/resources/0279… People are rightly bound to ask if it is fair that this 2023 Champions League finalist should be allowed to play Manchester City for the 2023 Champions League and what qualification we will have to put next to Inter Milan's name if they win it in these circumstances...
