It's just 1 week on from the date of the playoff game, and suddenly, despite the war still going on, it's now ok to play sports. The game should have taken place last week. Please point out where it’s “now ok to play sports”’in Ukraine. Edited April 1, 2022 by Karpaty Lviv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The game wasn't going to be in Ukraine so that's not really relevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Playing in Ukraine and Ukraine being able to field a squad are two completely different kettles of fish. Obviously their playoff semi final is away from home anyway, as will the final if (god forbid) they make it there. However, for their nations league group games, I think it’s a safe bet that they’ll find some adopted home stadium to play them. Poland would make sense given that it’s a neighbouring country, is geopolitically friendly with Ukraine, and has plenty of large stadiums given that they co-hosted the euros a decade ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeefc1783 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Also heard the presenter on the Morton v Killie game mention playing Ukraine on 7th June. Is this date just being banded about becuase that's when the NL game with Ukraine was meant to be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think the 7th would be a poor choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can declare on 1st April they will be 100% be able to field a team in June then there is no reason why they could not have fielded the same team 8 days prior if they had really wanted to. The only winners in all of this are Wales. -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hilarious. Look at that again without your tartan army tints in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a thread about a football match, not the war itself. It's perfectly acceptable to be annoyed that Scotland's shot at qualifying has been made more difficult through no fault of their own, whilst the opponent waiting in the final has simultaneously had their chance made slightly easier. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if Ukraine are going to cobble together a team for the March dates just to make things easier for us. Mate, put yourself in their position for a second and think about what you're saying here. It's a selfish outlook is what I'm saying and maybe taken a step too far by suggesting they didn't try hard enough to get the game on. That really is shoddy.

When it comes to the scenario surrounding Scotland qualifying for a World Cup for the first time in 24 years i'll reserve the right to look at it through tartan tinted specs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
