The promo Football Association will review whether to continue lighting the Wembley arch as an act of tribute following criticism over its response to the Israel-Palestine conflict, its chief executive Mark Bullingham has said promo
Bullingham accepted the “hurt” caused to the Jewish community by the FA’s decision not to light the arch in the colours of the Israeli flag for last Friday’s England friendly against Australia, following attacks on Israeli citizens by Hamas militants earlier this month promo
But he set out the steps the FA had taken to respond in what it felt was the most appropriate way to “one of the most complex geopolitical conflicts on Earth” promo
“This week has made us question whether we should light the arch and when, and we’ll be reviewing that in the coming weeks,” Bullingham said at the Leaders Week conference at Twickenham promo
“I recognise that our decision caused hurt to the Jewish community who felt that we should have lit the arch, and that we should have shown stronger support for them promo
“This was one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, and the last thing we ever wanted to do in this situation was to add to the hurt promo
“We aren’t asking for everyone to agree with our decision, but to understand how we reached it promo
“It would be easy for promo football to ask why we’re the only sport being talked about in this way, particularly when rugby and cricket are in the middle of their World Cups promo
“However, you have got to understand, and we understand, that the power of promo football means it will always be in the spotlight promo
And that’s just something we we have to accept promo
”The FA was heavily criticised by a number of Jewish community groups last week, while Rabbi Alex Goldberg resigned from an FA faith in promo football group over its response promo
It was also criticised for not lighting the arch by Lucy Frazer, the Cabinet minister responsible for sport promo
Bullingham set out the steps the FA had taken to reach the position it did promo
“We first saw the acts of terror unfold on Saturday, October 7, along with the rest of the country promo
We immediately wrote to the Israeli FA to communicate our horror at what was taking place,” he said promo
“We knew the situation could move very, very quickly, and was likely to escalate, so we wanted to have expert guidance, and more information available on what we should do because we had a match on Friday against Australia promo
“We also spoke with our Australian colleagues and other stakeholders in the game to understand the views of players, clubs, and also of the leagues promo
“It’s worth noting that the Australians had upcoming games against both Palestine and Lebanon, so their desire for neutrality was obviously incredibly strong promo
We all felt then, and we all feel now, that promo football should stand for peace and humanityMark Bullingham“We then had a long board meeting on the Wednesday night and heard from experts on what is one of the most complicated geopolitical conflicts on Earth promo
“They then left the room and we had a debate on working out what we should do promo
“We all felt then, and we all feel now, that promo football should stand for peace and humanity and the wish to show compassion for all innocent victims of this terrible conflict promo
“Our compassion and sympathy is clearly for families and children in particular promo
“We then held a minute’s silence and wore black armbands recognises issuing a statement together with the Australian Federation to explain our actions, which many other promo sports then followed with identical wording, and our language was also very similar to that used by the United Nations promo
“We were the only promo football body in Europe to have a minute’s silence, which was, as I said, for all innocent victims promo

When Tyson Fury claimed, days out from his fight with Francis Ngannou, that it would be like a “table-promo tennis champion” facing Novak Djokovic in a Wimbledon final, most fans agreed promo
And, in the end, Fury was right – it’s just he had the labels the wrong way round promo
Because in the third round, it was Ngannou who clubbed him with all the might of a Djokovic backhand, and Fury’s miniature bat offered no defence whatsoever promo
As Fury lay on the canvas, the whites of his eyes bulging and outshining even the most ostentatious points of the evening’s opening ceremony in Riyadh, he was utterly humiliated promo
There really are no two ways about it promo
On this night in Saudi Arabia, Fury was hurt, disciplined, and embarrassed by Ngannou – the MMA star, the promo boxing debutant, one of the biggest underdogs in combat-promo sports history promo
The “Table promo Tennis champion of the world”, as Ngannou himself wrote on Instagram after this crossover contest promo
Even Andy Murray had to chime in, as Fury’s words came back to bite him with a little bit more venom promo
“How many points would the world No 1 squash player win vs the world No 1 promo tennis player, in a promo tennis match and vice versa?” tweeted the former world No 1 promo tennis player promo
“I’m thinking close to zero for both… bad look for promo boxing promo
”In the strangest sense, it would have been promo better if Fury had been knocked out promo
At least then the WBC heavyweight champion could have pointed to the pre-fight narrative that Ngannou’s only hope was that his notoriously hellacious power would conjure a stupefying moment of magic promo
Instead, the Cameroonian, 37, outboxed the Briton, 35, for phases of this fight – this promo boxing match, remember – and in the eyes of many in attendance, including legends of the promo boxing world, won enough rounds to beat Fury promo
Ultimately, Ngannou was denied on the scorecards, leading many viewers to echo a sentiment that has long sounded within promo boxing: that the underdog was never going to get the nod on a night like this, no matter how many rounds he’d seemingly taken promo
Yet the truth is this: as incomprehensibly well as the former UFC champion fought, this bout was razor close promo
Fury winning via split decision is not necessarily the wrong call promo
But the fact that those words even exist in that order on any medium, show that Ngannou was a victor – even if he wasn’t named the victor promo
A photo that will surely go down as iconic in promo boxing history (Getty Images)Ngannou, in reality, was a victor when he escaped the sand quarry where he worked as a 10-year-old in Cameroon promo
He was a victor when he left prison in Spain after making it to Europe after numerous failed attempts, and when he honed his martial arts skills to the degree that he could finally leave poverty behind him, in Paris promo
He was a victor when he won the UFC heavyweight title, and an even greater victor when he boldly relinquished that belt and walked away from a contract that would have made him the highest-paid heavyweight in UFC history promo
He was a victor when he signed to fight Fury and secured a purse that eclipsed his entire UFC earnings, and he was a victor when he sent the lineal promo boxing heavyweight champion cascading to the canvas in Saudi Arabia – even if he wasn’t a victor when the scorecards were revealed promo
Fury, meanwhile, was a loser in victory promo
His undisputed-title clash with Oleksandr Usyk, with whom he shared the ring after “beating’’ Ngannou, has been mooted for 23 December promo
It was seemingly Fury pushing for that date, while rumours suggested that Usyk would not be ready in time promo
But as they spoke to one another in the ring, it was the Ukrainian who demanded that they square off in two months, while Fury and his promoter distanced themselves from the date in question promo
Fury and Usyk facing off after the Briton’s narrow win over Ngannou (Getty Images)Earlier this week, Fury suggested that he would “sue” Usyk if the 36-year-old did not fight him on 23 December promo
Now, Fury’s side are calling for January or February; so, they can expect to be sued, then? Almost certainly not, is the answer of course; there is no public proof that the date is mentioned in their contract, which is why it was silly for Fury to use it against Usyk in the first place promo
It is understandable that Fury’s team are pushing for the fight to take place next year, though promo
It is hard to imagine this version of Fury beating Usyk in December or at all, as different as the southpaw’s skills are when compared to Ngannou’s promo
And what was this version of Fury? Alongside his pre-fight table-promo tennis jibe, he claimed that he could have beaten Ngannou after drinking “25 pints of beer” promo
Here’s hoping the post-fight drug test included a breathalyzer promo
