I tend to avoid the news and social media but thought I'd read up on it now. You are correct in the nato concerns. I intially thought it was what you thought, the South East part of the country that is sympathetic with Russia and just up from crimea and the expansion of nato as Ukraine want to join, but the twat has invaded from all possible sides. It's basically a full scale invasion. They're already fighting at kiyv Airport. Kiyv will be taken by the weekend at this rate. The West has imposed sanctions but he won't care about Russians suffering, in fact he'll use that as an excuse to galvanise them and hate the West more given the media control. The West will Likley need to accept Russian control of Ukraine or go in to free it if things continue as they are. 😳 Poor Ukraine. They are ****ed or like in 1939 when the nazis invaded Poland we go to war. Then there's china 😭😭 Then we're all ****ed. It's escalated fast. The guy is mad. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another strange one, yes they will but not be participating under the Russian banner but the Russian Olympic Committee flag (I know, more political diplomatic bull). Was watching the UAE tour (cycling) on Eurosport last night and was cheering to myself when the Gazprom (Russian energy company) rider was caught after a breakaway. Normally like to see the breakaway riders win a stage. The sporting world really needs to get together and ban Russia from all sporting events as imho would be more damaging to Russia than these silly sanctions being placed on the oligarchs.

UEFA represents several Slavic states as well a Belarus and Russia so the situation might not be that simple. Belarus and Russia should be expelled imo as they are active participants in the invasion, but there might be an argument for keeping them in so that they can face the abuse of other nations fans if they turn up to play in Europe.

There is no guarantee about your first sentence. The Finland and Sweden situation goes back to 1808 when Russia and Sweden were at war. Russia have been making claims about countries joining NATO for decades now as they see it as a threat to their territory having missiles and armaments so close to their borders. Latvia and Estonia are a part of NATO and Russia will not invade them for that reason that really would signal World War III. An attack on one NATO country is an attack on all NATO countries. There is plenty that can and probably will happen before your scenario of sacrificing Ukraine or war happens. This is about the football though so if we stick to that then we should not be stepping aside and giving Ukraine a bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETTY29 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) It's really unfortunate for Ukraine but they have to put out he best team they can on the day at Hampden.

JimmyCant Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I think that Ukraine will withdraw from the play off. I’d prefer we agree to delay the tie, even just for 4 weeks and the situation might be resolved over there, or at least better. If the game goes ahead No doubt there will be sympathetic gestures on the night, quite rightly, but those need to cease at kick off and we get right in about them. I imagine if they play they will be massively up for it so it’s makes the tie that much more difficult than it already was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
