gashauskis9 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Just been banned from all world sports. If we don’t get their place at the Euros, I fully expect the SFA to take this to court. Quote
AndyNic Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I think they'll still be allowed to compete at Euro 2020 as the event wasn't listed on the WADA conditions. World Cup 2022 in Qatar was listed. Quote
Boab Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 It doesn’t affect the Euros or, indeed, the World Cup. There are loopholes ! There are always loopholes !! Quote
AndyNic Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 But yes, I'd also expect it to at least be challenged by the SFA and rightly so. Quote
Boab Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Edit the WC as seen above. Thought it wasn’t listed. Quote
fatlad Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Only band from major sporting comps. Committee don’t deem euros as a major event so does not apply. We are still miles of ever qualifying for anything even with other breaking the rules don’t worry Quote

CAI Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 We don't deserve to be anywhere near a World Cup or Euros anytime soon anyway. We embarrass ourselves as a nation enough during the qualifiers. Quote
gov Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 They are banned from everything bar the Euro's pretty much... Looking forward to March games. IF we beat Israel then its the biggest game since Italy! Quote

baxterd1974 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 UEFA are not considered to be a major event organiser oddly enough. That said it would be a laughable way to qualify anyway. Quote

Hømme Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Just when you think we have run out of ways to not qualify for something, we go and finish directly behind Russia in the wrong qualifying competition. Quote

It must be added to the long list I thought the women topped it in summer, people have been recalling Saudi U30s team beating our U16s in World final. This is up there.

E6 Inc Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 As far as I can make out teams and athletes will still compete if they can prove no doping (as all footballers will be able to) but no flag or anthems. This won't affect Scotland at all - we still aren't going anywhere! And the Euros isn't classed as a 'major sporting event' somehow. Quote
Mikey1874 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I haven't seen anything suggesting doping in football in Russia is happening to any extent. There was an investigation but found "insufficient evidence". The dad of Denis Cheryshev claimed he was using a growth hormone but he was cleared. Quote
Durham Jambo Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 BBC Radio news are now reporting that they are banned from Euro 2020. Still not hanging my hat on that though. Quote

Would be a travesty, if a team as pish as Scotland stole their place. 😂😂 UEFA pleading for Russia to be allowed to stay in to avoid the tournament being devalued by Scotland "We agree, it's not a major tournament, let them stay...please!!!"

Heres Rixxy Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I don't care how we get there I just want to see us at a major finals again! Although apparently now if we ever quality for a Euros we can't consider it a major finals. Quote

Denmark won Euro 92, and nobody remembers or cares that they didn’t actually qualify for it and were only there because of the war in Yugoslavia. Quote
A_A wehatethehibs Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Absolute disgrace that a team of state sponsored doping cheats are being allowed Scotland’s rightful place at these Euros. Every one of their players is probably on performance enhancing drugs. Should be disqualified Quote

Jeff Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Russia are a bigger name. UEFA won't budge and with the SFA being so inept I doubt they'll act either. Farse but not a shock Quote

Do they think they are being framed or what They'll more than likely blame the 'corrupt' west for planting fake records or evidence. Cold War never really ended after all did it? Quote
