The Poolie Bunker

Wimbledon, a Ukrainian v Russian womens singles, hotly contested, will be interesting to see if they shake hands at the end.

Did they shake hands?.....I am guessing they did

Typical BBC they panned away at that point so it was difficult to tell, but it looked like they didn't, the Ukrainian won on a tie breaker.

Back of the net....Alan Partridge.

I actually thought the Russians were banned from sporting events due to Putin invading a democratic Country and being a complete and utter kunt.

Democratic country ?

Yes Colin, Ukraine is a democracy.

Unfortunately for them they elected the “wrong” person in the eyes of their bigger neighbour.

They are allowed to compete in certain events but only as a neutral athlete/sportsperson.

You saying Ukraine isn't??
Next you'll be saying Russia is.

over the years neither are ideal but saying everything ukrainian is good and everything russian is bad is far from the truth. like all wars and disputes nobody is totally squeeky clean.

think we,d all love to see a russia v ukraine football match played with national league officials controlling it.

Where have I said everything Ukrainian is good and everything Russian is bad???

where did i accuse you personally of saying that. its a generalisation of an opinion many hold about the situation.

Ukraine had an election and won…that’s called D-E-M-O-C-R-A-C-Y….you may have heard of the concept in St KGB’s Comprehensive.

Accrington....You replied to MY post....read it back to yourself.

I never said 'everything Ukrainian is good and everything Russian is bad'...you did. FFS...

When was the last time Putin's Russia had a 'democratic' Election??
Didn't Putin win with a 63% majority ??
I'm agreeing with you Snowy btw.

That is factually incorrect though, it is not democratic, Ukraine hasn't had an election for years, and installed martial law as a convenient way of avoiding an election, knowing fine well that the Western puppet Zelensky would lose the election, therefore the war would come to an abrupt end.


The right leader was in place, until he more or less removed in a CIA backed military coup in 2014, in order to provoke and lay the foundations for a war with Russia. Zelensky is certainly the right person in the eyes of the warmongers of NATO, EU and the military industrial complex.

They haven't had an election for 'years' due to being invaded by a neighbouring country that hasn't an election for years due to being ran by a dictator.

What a coincidence....Mmmmmmmm.....

The ‘right leader’, like the Belarus leader as well, were the preferred choice of Putin as compliant house trained stool pigeons under Russia’s influence…….. try reading up on your facts .

You are wrong, you are "factually incorrect". Ukraine is a democracy.

Ukraine hasn't had an election because they are at war, it is against their constitution. We (UK/Great Britain) didn't have an election during WW2.

Russia has declared martial law in the 4 regions of Ukraine that it is trying to take control of btw.

Apart from anything else it would be impossible for any country to have a fair, democratic election under the conditions war. What about all the refugees who are displaced just for one thing.

Notice I wrote the word "fair" above.
