Was the only outcome and I saw it coming weeks ago.  They can only play when they are ready 

Yes we all saw it coming mate.


You have to assume there comes a time where the tie needs to be played or Ukraine have to withdraw though. Unfortunate for them as that might be it looks the most likely option to me if they still can’t play in June. The draw for the finals has got to be around then so June looks to me like the end of the line on this.

Going to be a busy June with 4 matches already scheduled, wonder if they will move one of them to September to make that one a triple header.

No chance. Not our problem and up to them to fulfill fixture. If they are involved in war, chuck them out and Scotland through to playoff final.

Throw Russia out as well.

Sorry, world is a cruel place and them' the breaks. 

Show up and play or withdraw. That's their options. They will be there.

Never be postponed. Just heave the two of them, I’d be ok if they were replaced with other teams but probably too late for that 

Thankfully those in charge have shown more compassion and understanding and have done the right thing and allow it to be postponed

What happens if war not over? Do we postpone again? Wouldn't be biggest shock if CAS allows Russia back in again and postpones their game as well.

The position Ukraine are in is explained in an interview with their manager in the Guardian.

 

Football is currently banned in Ukraine. Their manager is looking to hold a training camp and play 5 or 6 games to regain fitness.

I see things are starting to happen. Shaktor Donetsk, one of the main teams is going to play some games for charity and Poland has offered to host a training camp for the national side.

 

Positive signs towards Ukraine v Scotland going ahead.

Scotland have not lost their home nations league game versus Ukraine. Talk of the game being counted as the play off game but Scotland have won that one and don't lose a home gate.

Potentially 5 games in 13 days then! Can't be helped but that's tough going.

Advantage Wales then

 

physically maybe. If Scotland can go in to the game on the back of a solid win we could have a mental advantage. All depends if we pick up knocks/niggles

Do they honestly think that Ukraine will be in a position to play a game of football in about 8 weeks time

Guaranteed.

 

Shaktor Donetsk and Dynamo Kiev are training and playing games. Based in Poland and Germany I think.

I’m in Menorca for the match. I quite like watching football in warmer climes though. ☀️🍻️ 

Does that go for semi finals and finals involving Hearts? 😟

No free passes just because there's a pagger back home.

I'll support the Ukrainian nation in that pagger all the way.

 

But for those 90 minutes of football, I want them well beat.

 

As soon as the final whistle goes I'll go right back to backing them to the hilt.

Going by Scotland's previous history we will mange to somehow conjure up a defeat from the jaws of victory.

Sevco fans moaning about their European tie being between two Celtic matches.

 

Are the Ukrainian players even training, are they fighting on the front line right now?

Are their families safe and alive.

 

 

Honestly think Scotland should just give them the tie. IMO.

 

Put Ukraine through and be big enough to do it in these times, it's supposed to be what Scots are known for.

 

It's just a game.

How far do you take that? Should the World Cup be cancelled and Ukraine just handed the trophy?

should wales do the same thing and just give them the WC spot?, then should england, usa and iran give them top spot in the group all the way to making them champions?

I know, I know.

 

But let it be England or Wales, USA or someone else play them off the park later in the tournament.

 

It's not right the match is going ahead.

Just my opinion.

I assume it’s only going ahead because Ukraine want it to.

I think you just don't want Scotland at the World Cup.

 

This isn't the EuroVision song contest, it's meant to be the best teams in the world competing for a trophy.

From the outset, I've said that Scotland should boycott the Qatar WC on human rights grounds. Mind you, I was saying that in the expectation that we'd never come close to qualifying and the "boycott" was an excuse to cover up any embarrassment. 

 

Now, everyone will hate us for pumping Ukraine oot!

Aye, just everyone hand Ukraine the World Cup and not bother playing it.  Or is it only Scotland that should forfeit the right to play in it?  Sorry, that’s absolute bullshit!

The SFA are dealing with returns at the moment for people who cant make the rearranged game so there will be a further public sale at some point.
