KirkieRR Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 'our identity is built on resisting foreign invasion and occupation' No it isn't. This isn't the 14th century. Agree with JLD. If it is ever played (Ukraine might not exist by June) we drench the home area in as many Ukraine flags as saltires, applaud the Ukraine anthem (maybe try and learn the words, if there are any, before then). And, as JLD says, make it easier to prvide financial and practical support for Ukraine and its people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Catania Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Sentiment and language around it aside - isn’t that what we’re saying? We’re trying to encourage people to donate so we can practically support Ukraine. I think buckets at the gate are a great idea and should be part of this campaign. Also agree with the Ukrainian anthem and flags sentiment. But don’t think that should stop us encouraging SFA fans to donate even £1 ahead of the game to the crowd funder would make a big difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Wouldn't it be better to send the money for humanitarian aid (helping the refugees) rather than funding military aid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I think a number of agencies have said sending money is better than sending supplies and I'd imagine most fans would be more comfortable with that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t disagree with sending humanitarian aid - and there’s a lot of that going on already. I’ve added a link below if you’re interested - but I think it’s important to recognise that this is a war, Ukraine is under constant bombardment and it needs military support in order to be able to defend its citizens. I’m hoping as Scotland fans we can help them do that. https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/ukraine-aid-help-now Edited March 8, 2022 by Michael Catania 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnoB Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Presumably we can expect heavy fines, considering how eager the footballing authorities were to fine clubs for the display of Palestinian flags? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah as that was basically one club (aka a cheek) doing that in a pathetic tit-for-tat move. I see. So it's a pathetic tit-for-tat move when it doesn't fit the Western political agenda. I notice that other club never picked up any fines for the display of the flag of an apartheid regime. Interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk89 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 DEC or UNHCR are the two you want just now. Both specialise in humanitarian response and refugee support. I'm always a little wary of organisations who have very little track record of handling large sums of cash, their total donations in 2020 was less than £7k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise there's nothing remotely coherent about the point you're making? What is occurring in Palestine under Israeli occupation is very much the same as what we're seeing in Ukraine right now. The only thing that is different is the rhetoric being used by our politicians and media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
