Toepoke Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 8 minutes ago, scotlad said: It also seems a bit harsh on Ukraine to disqualify them in this instance. Although, I guess, if they can't safely get their team out of the country they may have to forfeit the fixture. Would be extremely harsh to disqualify a team due to their country being invaded! Half of Ukraine's squad play abroad also so they should be able to field a team. If any action is taken by FIFA/UEFA it should be to give Poland a bye against Russia.

I fully supported England being banned for its part in the invasion of Iraq. I also believe a ban for all subsequent tournaments should be applied to that particular team retrospectively. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 FIFA might not want to boot Russia out but surely all of the other nations have it within their gift to force their hand by boycotting the tournament if they don’t? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re talking about boycotting a tournament in a country where a woman got lashed after reporting a rape? None of these cunts have any morals, no one will be boycotting.

Only 8 call ups in the last squad outside of the Ukrainian league. I'm sure they'll still be able to call up Ukrainian league players. They sadly though won't have been able to train or play for a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially 2/3rds of their squad won't have played professional football in over 3 months by the time we play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkbluegas Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 If we’d just been invaded by the Americans would we be even considering wandering off for a game of football. Can’t believe any Ukrainian young man, could play football when their prime minister is asking for anyone to help defend the country whatever their age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy enough for us Scots to be speculating about a football game. Where as this will be the furthest thing from the Ukranian minds right now. At the end of the day, football is just another form of entertainment. It really isn't that important. The conflict in Ukraine is a far more pressing issue.
