GersInCanada 7,775 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 A no show is a forfeit not a 3-0. Why did the Russians leave it so late ? They must have known how long it can take. They knew it was Glasgow or Slovenia if thet got past Progres. Might have cost 3k if they applied for visas they would not be using (say 30 x 100) which is nothing. They chose not to so their problem. I would rather play them but it is what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears r us 30,810 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Having only picked up on this story a wee while ago, after reading the thread it seems if they (UFA) do not get the visas they have nobody to blame but themselves. I am sure all fans of other Scottish teams will see it that way as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sairheid_bear 166 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Short notice, but if UFA do forfeit we should arrange a friendly for Thursday. How about inviting Progres back to Ibrox and giving them a proper doing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
