Unicorn 206 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Wonder how they got around all this back in their Commie days? It’ll probably get sorted out but if not it’s terrific news for us, for all sorts of reasons. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,548 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 We played a team from East Germany (DDR) in Malmo years ago because their visas to the UK were refused. I assume this club's inexperience, coupled with the lack of time between ties, has contributed to this situation. I would confidently wager they'll get visas and the ties will go ahead. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sir, are bonkers I'm knackered just thinking about the traveling you've done since the start of the season.

Frankie 8,133 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I don't think fans who've already arranged travel etc have anything to worry about. I'd be astonished if Ufa didn't receive clearance. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,219 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Shamil Gazizov: There is no threat of disrupting the match with @RangersFC, it's somehow confused by the British media ... no shit. ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,603 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It would be a bonus to avoid the pre-Celtic trip, but the gate receipts, co-efficient points and further morale boost from beating Ufa could all be major benefits to the club. Certainly the gate receipts are significant and the club is still in a position where income of that kind is huge. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So howcome the Russian cyclist Igor Fromov couldn’t get his visa in time for the recent European championships in Glasgow but F.C. UFA can get 25-30 visas fast-tracked in a day or two ? Gazizov seems very confident. Has he had assurances from the U.K. embassy in Moscow ? Or have they got around the 5 day visa processing timeline? Something doesn’t seem right about this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be beside themselves fastrack the visa's? Edited August 20, 2018 by cooponthewing 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
