00:00 It's one of the most complex situations in the world, and I think everybody is grappling
00:07 with how best to deal with that.
00:11 I don't know what it's like to walk in the shoes of people on either side of that conflict,
00:17 so what I do know is that I think people at the FA will have consulted with everybody
00:22 they possibly can, and they will have tried to make the best decision with good intentions.
00:28 Obviously whatever decision they came to would have been criticised in one way or another,
00:33 so I also recognise how difficult it was for them.
00:36 I wasn't involved in those discussions.
00:38 They were long and went on for a long time, I know.
00:43 But they've decided to take the stance they have, and we will get on with that.
