‘BBC Sport approached a number of grassroots footballers who support the ban. Most did not want to go on record with their opinions because of a fear of reprisals’ Astonishing line to read in 2025. Omertà in women’s football. Why are women too frightened to be interviewed?
How FA's new transgender policy is affecting players bbc.com/sport/football…
The @BBCSport only approached @SportSEENuk for comment 3 days ago. From our network of insiders, we had players, mums, dads and sponsors all negatively affected by males in women’s football and willing to speak They only selected Georgie and then omitted so many points from her

Fearful of injury and forced into silence by @FA Powerful testimony from one of our @SportSEENuk network “This isn't about excluding anyone. It's about recognising the importance of fairness and safety in sport.” Link to @BBCSport follows
Today’s the day that men are kicked out of women’s football. At long last women’s football is for women only (unless you live in Wales where the Wales FA has yet to change its policy). There’s a flurry of interviews out there with males bemoaning the fact that women’s football…
Last night my Yahoo email account worked fine. Tried to log in this morning it says "Sorry, we don't recognise this email address" - can't use the recovery system, logged an issue 7hrs ago but had no response. How do I get my account back @YahooCare?
Bought my son new school trousers @marksandspencer that claim to have stay put hems that never fall down. First pair = hem down after TWO days, other pair took 2 weeks. Very poor, even for normal hem. I suspect M&S clothing designers have never met an actual 5 year old boy...
