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

Mikey Johnston has warned the Netherlands not to underestimate the Republic of Ireland as the Dutch attempt to book their place at the finals of Euro 2024 promo
Barring an unlikely sequence of events which would hand Ireland a play-off place, they will not be in Germany next summer, but the Netherlands will be if they can take maximum points from their remaining Group B fixtures against Stephen Kenny’s men and Gibraltar next month promo
Monday night’s last-gasp 1-0 win in Greece as the Republic beat Gibraltar 4-0 in Faro left the Netherlands in pole position to claim second place behind France, but Celtic winger Johnston, who was on the scoresheet along with Evan Ferguson, Matt Doherty and Callum Robinson, is determined to end a disappointing campaign on a high promo
Asked if he saw the trip to Amsterdam as a chance to bloody the nose of one of European promo football’s big guns, who won 2-1 in Dublin last month, the 24-year-old said: “I think we have shown we can do that promo
“Obviously the results haven’t gone our way, but we went toe-to-toe with them and it’s just fine margins promo
“At either end in the box, we’ve not been good enough at times, conceding goals we shouldn’t have and maybe we’ve not taken our chances as well promo
“This group has given everything to qualify and that’s all we can ask promo
” Our group is obviously tough, but we are not making excuses, we still believed we could qualify from the group promo
Mikey JohnstonIreland always knew they had a tough task to get out of the group when they were drawn against both the Dutch and World Cup runners-up France promo
But defeat by the Greeks in Athens in their second fixture left them up against it and they will head into their final fixture with only six points banked from the first seven, all of them against whipping boys Gibraltar promo
That return has left manager Kenny facing a review next month which might well have been brought forward despite assurances to the contrary had things gone badly at the Estadio Algarve, and few commentators expect him to remain in his role promo
Asked to assess the campaign, Johnston said: “Obviously it’s disappointing that we haven’t qualified promo
Our group is obviously tough, but we are not making excuses, we still believed we could qualify from the group promo
”Whether or not Kenny is involved in the international set-up beyond November remains to be seen, but Johnston will hope his efforts to date in the green shirt will lead to further caps promo
His six appearances so far – the last of them a first start – have yielded two goals and an exciting brand of promo football which has at times been missing from Kenny’s team despite the manager’s attempts to adopt a more progressive approach promo
Johnston spent last season on loan at Vitoria Guimaraes in Portugal, but has missed the start of the new campaign back at Celtic after suffering a stress fracture in his back, and he is now looking to catch the eye of club boss Brendan Rodgers promo
He said: “I’m just trying to work my way behind the scenes to get my opportunity promo
The manager has got tough decisions to make promo
He has got wingers that he has brought in for a few million and whatever, so it’s up to me to get into the team promo
