Harry Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Seems a bit harsh. He already played in Moscow for Locomotiv and has spent 9 of the last 10 years playing in Russia. His contract with Locomotiv ended on May 31st and he signed a new contract with Spartak 11 days later. Had he just decided to move there, I could probably understand the decision, but he’s lived there for 9 years and is likely settled there with his family. I’d be a tad pissed off it that were me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtrojan Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I’d be a tad pissed off if my family and home had been destroyed by a foreign country invading my land. I guess some people (the polish coach)have standards,others appear to be apologists and don’t. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decides to stay in a country bombing the shit of a neighbour of Poland. The optics are terrible - no wonder he has been struck off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but he clearly feels comfortable with the situation, otherwise he'd of moved back or elsewhere. I for one wouldn't feel comfortable living in Russia, knowing what they'd just done and continue to terrorise and invade another country for no legitimate reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Herr Schmidt, Chief Gunner und Spezialist in targetting schools and hospitals claimed something similar at Nuremberg many years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the point is, he’s been living in Russia for 9 years. It’s not as if he’s just decided to go there and has no morals. He likely is settled and has family there. Why should he move home if he’s happy and settled, for a conflict that is nothing of his doing? Are you all suggesting that every non-Russian person currently living in Russia should immediately leave Russia and return their own country? Bit odd? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Kinda see where Harry is coming from here. I bet a lot of people here would move back to the UK in a similar situation, supposing all of their family is there that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think its odd at all to disagree with a country's government and their actions so much that you no longer wish to stay there. The conflict is nothing of the players doing, you're correct, but you're very much surpressed by living in Russia, you don't have the freedom of speech you get elsewhere, and by staying, suggests you're happy and support the regime. He obviously isn't totally skint being a professional footballer, so it's not as if he doesn't have the funds to move if he so wished.

Of course not every non-Russian should immediately leave, they are all capable of making their own choice in this matter. Neither is it odd that, having made the decision to stay in Russia, he isn't going to be chosen to represent his country. Decisions have consequences. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
