Station said: Maybe we the football community can make a stand tomorrow and show our support for Ukraine 🇺🇦 and at 14:55 the whole ground chant “Stand/Hands up if you hate Putin”. Possibly repeat throughout the afternoon as more people get the idea ? ….

Apparently Mansfield Town fans are turning out with Yellow and Blue in a show of support.

10500 voices singing as one is a statement. Only Football and Music can unite people as one. Ukraine today - could be you tomorrow!!

It would be good if we could remember those poor people in Ukraine who have been kicked out of their homes or worse, imagine what it would be like if it was our country that was being invaded. One way football could help is by ridding the English leagues of Russian money , much of which is dirty, Abramovich got his money from the Russian state and his close ties with Putin.It appears to be difficult to find out where Demin at Bournemouth got his money.

We should have a minute silence pre match, innocent families are losing loved ones in desperate circumstances.
I've stopped watching the news as Arch is too young to understand the enormity of the situation.

Abramovichs Grandparents were Ukranian. Just because Roman Abramovich is a ridiculously wealthy Oligarch doesn't mean he stands with Putin. It's like saying Martin Scorcese must be a rapist just because he once worked with Harvey Weinstein! Utter nonsense |

Do we really want this money in our game. Abramovich was allowed to buy state owned business at a knock down price by the Russian government allowing him to make huge profits . |

It's like saying Martin Scorcese must be a rapist just because he once worked with Harvey Weinstein! Utter nonsense What is his relationship with Vladimir Putin? Abramovich’s relationship with Putin were established prior to the latter’s ascension to the role of President. In 2012, a high court judge stated that the Chelsea owner had “privileged access” to the leader, as well as “very good relations”. This is not the first time that Abramovich’s association with Putin and his role at Stamford Bridge have caused controversy, however. Claims that Abramovich bought Chelsea on the orders of Putin led to the former receiving an apology from publisher Harper Collins after they were initially outlined in a book entitled “Putin’s People”. |

Like I said before, just because Martin Scorsese made movies financed by Harvey Weinstein doesn't mean he's an advocate of Sexual Assault and Rape does it? It's silly logic.

If Chelsea go to the wall there are plenty of other clubs their fans can watch , sure we could fit a few of them in at The Mem. Got one in Wael. |

So, it doesn't mean he has anything to do with the invasion of Ukraine. It's utter madness. Go and ask Wael why he's so obsessed with Abramovich, so much so he had to dodge his security guards just so he could get a Selfie with him. Guess Wael is guilty by association as well? Absurd. |

It has nothing to do with him being associated with the invasion of Ukraine , it is the fact he is associated with Putin who is an evil dictator who doesn't care about people , power comes before people with him and one way of punishing him is to isolate his friends by freezing their investments in this country, and should we allow money which may have been obtained illegally into the game of football. Just because Wael met Abramovich doesn't make the Russian Oligarch a better person.Think we beg to differ on this one. |

It clearly is to do with the invasion of Ukraine, surely? The noise about the seizing of Abramovichs assets has only come about over the last few days, since the invasion. He's owned Chelsea for near on 20 years!! Maybe Putin doesn't care about people, but Abramovich certainly does. Maybe learn a thing or two about him, and the people he helps. It was only 18 months ago he was being praised for his generosity for putting loads of NHS staff up in the Chelsea hotel as well. Abramovich isn't evil and he doesn't stand by Putin |

Seen lots of anti-Russia comments on social media etc Please remember this is what Putin wants, not what the majority of Russian people want. He doesn’t care about the isolation Russia is receiving, if anything he’ll use it as an ‘us and them’ scenario to push his narrative further!

Polish FA refusing to play world cup play off v Russia, good for them not waiting for FIF suits and money men to meet and decide, feel desperately for Ukrainians, also spare a thought for the millions of average Russians who's country suffered greatly in WW2 and i am sure want nothing to do with Putin's mad ambitions, We and rest of West have been sleep walking to this scenario for several years IMHO, even now Europe is arguing about sanctions to the extent 'yes we are all for sanctions as long as it does not cost us' , would it be to much to ask them to put there own interest to the side for the wider good, probably , ok soap box away ,up the Rovers!
