Didn't want to say Dnipro Kids, as I did not know, but it did. Emotional scenes of Stevie welcoming kids, brought a tear to the eyes of this hard bitten auld Trotskyist.
Mental how the charity has grown over the years. I remember doing one of the first bucket collections and another later and also attending the fundraiser at the Ukranian club...ironically with my friend who is currently back in Odessa region. I actually wanted to get more involved but was raising money for 10 years for a family orphanage in India..to which a few bouncers donated Hibs strips one Christmas...and Everton tops...you know who you are lol...Against my better judgements they did receive the Everton tops. We also managed to rebuild the water damaged first building. The children in India were also orphans of a conflict in the North east. That orphanage wound up last year as they had re-settled the last of their children. I would be interested getting more involved with DK now I have more time
It feels wrong liking these posts, you understand. But they are appreciatedThe head of unit Beseda and his deputy Bolukh have been arrested by order of Putin for their failure toprovide Putin with info on political events in Ukraine pre invasion....the first scapegoats for this fiasco.
Rusia rapper Oxxxymiron will hold concerts against the war with money going to charities in Poland helping the victims of war. His first concert will be in Istanbul.
Ukranian fighters killed another Russian top brass, Major general Andrei Kolesnikov
you tube blocking Russia state media channels around the world
American British tobbacco pulls out of Russia..thatsis Dunhill, PallMall, Rothmans and other as well as vaping systems vype and vuse
Russian media tried to photoshop a downed fighter plane in Crimea...it missed the red star on the tail
Another intercepted email from an occupier....I'm a marauder anyway, like a facist in 1941...indeed!
Russian occupiers have killed at least 1,582 civilians in Mariupol alone..the very people they were sent to liberate!
Expect a large attack from Russia as their 40 mile convoy is spreading out..expect to hear of many more civilians dying and also of Ukranian counter strikes in the areas they know best
Just burst into tears on the tube myself hearing this news. Let’s get them over here now.
Dundee Utd
next home game
I don't take any satisfaction in soldiers dying, particularly those who have been sent there on false pretences, but I feel it is important to recognise the huge spirit of the Ukranians who are fighting for their future. And also to counter the negative stories. No doubt there is a few Russians who have also performed well on the battlefield but they will only be remembered for blitzing civilians in tower blocks, hospitals and nurseriesIt feels wrong liking these posts, you understand. But they are appreciated
I am sceptical that this racist Government gives the square root of. Channel 4 News is my go to for news. More balanced than any UK MSM that I've seen by far.
This does not seem to be diverting the Russian advance Davy. The reports given about the 40 mile column of Russia troops being bogged down in decrepit, fueless equipment, being blootered on here, sadly was not so, by a long shot.Here is an unexpected twist! Russians report 156k Syrians want to join them. Reports from arabs in Syria now that Syrians are taking up the offer in order to get to Ukraine, Surrender/join Ukranian forces and apply for EU membership....is it true? Who knows but it is a crazy world.
Russian soldiers captured the mayor of Melitopel to which residents will be involved in a huge protest against.
Vitalli Kim is at it again, saying shelling tpok down electricity in the region and they are currently fixing it, whilst stating what Ukranians are about to do to the Russian forces
Military units on the move in Belarus in the direction of the city of Brest. There are varying reports that some Belarussians are likely to defect whilst others are keen to join the Russians
Pink Flloyd and David Gilmour have pulled their music from Russian platforms.
In the Chuhuiv district a column of military equipment of the occupiers was destroyed. Tanks, trucks, fuel trucks destroyed and the enemy ran off and left some behind
Reports of Russian troops wandering around in the woods looking to be arrested as they have mentally given up (probably conscripts)
True, though I never quoted from the Ukranian sources in regard to that column, in fact they were strangely quiet on ot. Reports were from BBC and sky in regard to being bogged down.
My post further down is just that, a bit war but one of our clubs is in trouble!!!! The media in the UK IS sick.
It would never happen up here would it ?
I think we both know the answer to that mate.
If one of Rantic were Russian owned and whats happening at Chelsea were happening to them we'd be hearing about it alright , no doubt about it
. The UK lost 750 000. My point is , they don't care about loss of life, even their own , they will relentlessly march on . Ukraine has it's finger in the dam here I fear.
The human race never learns , greed and power are all that counts its been the same for centuries and will continue until we eventually kill ourselves offWhat a fantastic thread of knowledge this is. Incredibly sad of course, but it is the heart of " the bounce".@Davy is doing a sterling job, and it's the place I come too for the up to date happenings.
I am not particularly clued up on world politics ( or any for that matter) but the over riding sadness for me , is Russia will achieve its objective here ( whatever the fuck that is) . They ( russia) lost an estimated 26 million people in the 2nd world war. 26 million, !!!! Just take a moment to think about that figure
Sanctions and the hope of a Russian revolt is our only hope for Ukraine I sadly predict.
These statements are from my heart, again , my knowledge is very limited on these matters.
On another note, the news showed footage last night of dead Ukrainian soldiers lying in the street . They very rarely show such detailed.images. It was horrendus.
I agree totally… it is really so far above sports but the smsm would make sure the SFA bent over. Sorry for trying to trivialise it but it really pisses me off.
absolutely but i suppose the story is relevant to what is going on
I agree to an extent.. but it just seems so wrong when they bring sport in as the next biggest story after war
I believe there is very few people who support those war in the Russian military...let's see how it unfoldsWhat a fantastic thread of knowledge this is.

in a football mad country its part of the story though , part of
I hope so. It is also great having good positive reports. I never really meant to get overly involved in this war reporting after my first post in this thread. I would love to see more threads on things like Dnipto kids and other topics. I wish your brother all the best.
Tam has lived in Lieghton Buzzard since 1968. Keeping the Hibs flag flying couldnae have been easy. Everyone there over 4 decades he has been in contact with has kent about the Hibs though, beleive me.
