Should Saints play in yellow/blue? 13:16 - Mar 3 with 3219 views | PaleRider | Do you think Saints should play in yellow/blue away kit for the rest of this season? Normally I wouldn't get excited about this but I believe that for the first time since WW2 we are seeing a good versus evil war. I know it is just a gesture but Saints adopting our away kit would be a good gesture. | | | | |

Oh well. I guess they won't be showing foreign football in China or Russia any more: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60524865 | |

Exploiting the war? You’re a nutcase | |

Should Saints play in yellow/blue? on 23:44 - Mar 4 with 2845 views | Saintsforeverj | All it shows it that we are on Ukraines side, and I doubt the Ukrainian people scared to death in underground stations will even know we are doing it. It is of no help to all those poor people in Ukraine. Fully agree with the comments regarding donating to support Ukrainian people and / or their armed forces being a much better idea. Having said that though, I suppose it's Saints way of showing support, whilst also giving fans a free away scarf. [Post edited 4 Mar 2022 23:48]

Should Saints play in yellow/blue? on 09:32 - Mar 8 with 2551 views | geezershoong1 | Standing with Ukraine, taking the knee etc etc. Whether you think they are important or not, let's not go overboard. The games will end up starting 10 minutes late soon. | |

Should Saints play in yellow/blue? on 10:01 - Mar 8 with 2542 views | Chesham_Saint | As the majority seem to be of the view that taking the knee before every game makes a difference, how could they possibly think wearing our yellow and blue every game should not do likewise?

Should Saints play in yellow/blue? on 10:21 - Mar 8 with 2539 views | PaleRider | As I said in the OP it is a gesture. However, people around the world, including Russia and China, love the Premier League. Saints playing in yellow/blue would be a very cheap but visible gesture. I don't see what the downsides are. As a result, this is a small win and a visible F U. | | | |

Brighton today was nothing more than exploiting a blood thirsty war for their own PR. Tokenism was done by the easily led last week. | | | |

Yes, I thought that, the only way that kind of empty gesture works is if Liverpool had played their part by meekly surrendering or retreating back into the dressing room - did no-one show them the script??? | |

You were posting elsewhere Jelly that Ukraine was a centre of corruption. Bill Maher was quoting that exact same line from QAnon. I think we all know where you stand on supporting Ukraine. | |

Should Saints play in yellow/blue? on 07:49 - Mar 13 with 2208 views | Heisenberg | Whilst clubs clap for Ukraine or wear yellow and blue the FA are happy to sanction ownership of Newcastle by the same state that only 2 days ago executed 81 people in a flagrant abuse of human rights. It’s total hypocrisy. Football has sold its soul. | |

You are presumptuous and wrong Ian. I said Ukraine has the second highest amount of corruption in Europe, Russia is first, it is a problematic part of the world well before conflict. I am against all war and corruption and have huge compassion for those who are suffering in Ukraine. I also do not support or follow QAnon. I know you struggle with any kind of scepticism and are desperate to pigeonhole me, but don't go making false allegations. Just out of interest Ian, do you stand with the 65% unvaccinated Ukranians or just the vaxxed ones? | |

‘I am against all war and corruption and have huge compassion for those who are suffering in Ukraine’ - very statesmanlike, but that doesn’t sound like you’re picking a side to me... And maybe you’re not getting your ideas from QAnon, but you’re both getting them from the same source - Putin. | |

I'm against all warmongering psychopaths, I am on the side of the ordinary people who have their lives destroyed and sacrificed at the whim of global elites, what do you not understand? | |
