    I genuinely feel sorry for individual Russian sports players. They didn't choose this war. However, the country must be isolated and the population must be shown the cost of Putin's actions. The sportsmen and women may not be responsible for the war, but it is our responsibility to make sure their job now is to speak out against Putin rather than playing sports. They cannot be allowed to compete on the international stage in any shape or form. The Russian people need to see how much Putin is isolating them and that he needs to go.

    Their are lots of casualties when a war like this hits. Ultimately, the casualty of a sports career pales into insignificance compared to the casualties of innocent people losing their lives, families and homes.

    even before this mate, Russians were proven to be cheating bastards. Think the olympics… think the 80’s, again in t he r olympics. The IOC ****ed up letting them come straight back under another name.

    I agree with you. Lock all of them out of every sport until Ukraine is free and democratic again. It’s only a small thing, but it swings some more public opinion against the murderer.

    Poland just came out and said it is refusing to play Russia in the WC qualifiers.

    Apparently Poland are talking to Czech and Sweden about a more joint approach.

    infantino was awarded a medal by Putin a few years back. He’s been asked if he is going to hand it back. He’s declined to comment. Read into that what you will…

    It’s made of gold and is worth melting down.

    Really admire Poland. They are putting principle ahead of football.

    All teams should boycott the WC if the Russian ****s play.

    The English FA have joined Sweden, Czech Republic and Poland in saying they will not play Russia for the foreseeable future. It's a little more vague than the others, but does say we wouldn't play them.

    If enough countries do the same FIFA and UEFA are irrelevant. They can’t ban everyone. Another thought, what would count as a neutral country? (Apart from Sweden)

    It's hard to imagine many countries being willing to host the games within Europe - and I think they still have to be played in Europe as the qualifiers are UEFA sanctioned.

    I’ve heard Switzerland might be one.

    Maggers is the expert though. <cheers>
