I'm not so sure that we do, they like to make us believe that we do and the Mail / Express would have people believe that we're still a "superpower" with an empire but I think lots of countries now see us for what we really are.

101 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 So now Belarus have provided a route for the Russians to advance and are now supporting them directly, to avoid causing a world war when will we see sanctions on Belarus. Unless I have missed them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that Yugoslavia were disqualified from Euro 92 because, by the time the Tournament started, Yugoslavia no longer existed rather than anything else, but you might be right.

(tremble) Yeh that's a worry you would imagine refugees will be using that main road north of Lutsk into Poland. At least if they are going north they will hopefully just go to Kalingrad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I find the rush to state that 'we refuse to play Russia' from countries who haven't even got any planned fixtures against them really weird.You're just looking at Men's A team fixtures, most countries will have a game against them coming up at some level or another. For us it's in the Regions Cup, which is an amateur tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yugoslavia were banned because they were under UN sanctions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 25 minutes ago, Bully Wee Villa said: The choice is allowing them a bye to the finals or kicking them out. Poland, Sweden and Czechia won't play them. There's the line. I'm more than happy to see Saudi Arabia and Israel punted, too, but it isn't going to happen. There is now a movement to remove Russia and any and all pressure that can be applied should be applied. f**k them off. That's a pretty big can of worms you're opening there. If Saudi Arabia draw Bolivia in the inter confederate playoff and the Bolivians refuse to play, we're chucking out Saudi Arabia right ? And what's the criteria for allowing Russia back in ? If there's a ceasefire in the next 48 hours are they back in ? What if Poland et al still refuse to play them ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK should be kicked out as well for illegally occupying Syria and assisting the Saudis and UAE in Yemen if you are being consistent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
