    In the grand scheme of things, you're probably right, and there's no doubt the issue has been hijacked by bad actors looking to inflame tensions rather than find solutions. That doesn't mean there aren't legitimate concerns, though. Part of the reason the debate has become so contentious is that...

    Fair observation, Luton. In hindsight, I probably should have led with the everyday issues that affect far more people: the economy, the cost of living, improving public services, and tackling knife crime. I love sport and I care about ensuring competition is fair and safe, but I accept that I...

    Fair points. As I've said before, I quite like Starmer as a person. He comes across as a decent man with solid values. However, his premiership has been blighted by too many avoidable mistakes, and the Peter Mandelson issue is probably the most damaging. Either he knew about Mandelson failing DV...

    You are correct and it’s worth keeping a sense of proportion. The number of transgender athletes competing at elite levels is very small, and there are many issues facing the country that affect far more people on a daily basis. Government attention should not become consumed by a debate that...

    I’m always willing to debate and listen to the other side of the story. I wouldn’t have been posting on here for more than 15 years if I wasn’t. Baleforce loves diversity, just not diversity of opinion it seems. He’s the biggest troll on the forum.

    I’m genuinely puzzled by the hype around Tel. I’ve only seen a couple of standout goals, but not enough overall evidence to justify the level of praise he receives. In my view, the forward line is a major reason we find ourselves in the current situation. None of them look anything close to...

    Sadly, your response feels fairly typical of the ultra-politically-correct approach to debate: rather than engaging with the argument itself, the instinct seems to be to dismiss the person making it. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a bigot, just as not everyone who agrees with you is...

    I'm a lover of sport. Fairness and genuine competition matter to me. They're not the only things I care about, but I'm not going to apologise for holding a different view from you or anyone else. As for the claim that 99.9% of people haven't been affected by immigration: are you sure about...

    Fairness and safety should be an issue for most people I would like to think.

    I hope Andy Burnham occupies the sensible middle ground on issues such as trans participation in sport. It is not anti-trans to argue that trans people should be able to participate in sport, while recognising that biological women should compete in separate categories. Equally, it is not...

    That’s a really strange one. Konate is awful. No wonder Madrid have failed in the CL for the last two seasons.

    7 PM’s in 10 years is it now? That’s a joke. Either make their terms shorter or allow them to complete them.

    When Starmer was first being talked about as a potential Prime Minister — even before he formally ran for the role — I quite liked him. He came across as a decent, serious man and a welcome alternative to the moral chaos and dishonesty that had come to define Boris Johnson's government...

    New Kit?

    At least the badge is back where it belongs and not in the middle of the shirt.

    Me too. We had a great opportunity to push on and didn’t.
