MrMckee 3,420 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 What's it with these Russian teams and paperwork? Sure they are only in the Europa due to the team who won the Russian cup messing up their paper work! Oh the irony.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read they were flying direct from Moscow to Scotland after the game, earlier today, I wonder if they get their visas if this was a game they were trying to play by saying they had not applied when they really had and a kind of mind games shite to get us to take our focus off the game. It would not work with SG but either they have applied with plenty of time or they will not get them, tomorrow or later tonight I think we will get it confirmed. If not within the next 48 hours.

Brubear 2,905 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Herald on line version as of 2 hours ago is quoting their General Director as the whole thing being a misunderstanding by the UK media and that they have applied for visas which they will receive them tomorrow and fly to Glasgow direct from Moscow on Wednesday. He says he stated game only 5 working days away so they needed to act quickly but never said there was any risk if them not getting visas and UK media put that spin on his comments.

As I said above they must have applied before was reported because the five working days was not workable form last Friday with them needing to fly this Wed. This has been a bit of mind games if they appear on Wed as it looks like they will. I am happy for us to play the games, it is just the long journey so near to the tarriers game that is the worst about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small point of contention: I don't belief it is possible to fly direct from Moscow to Scotland, you need to change in Frankfurt which takes a couple of hours in and of itself. And then you're landing in Edinburgh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
