Black Cats Ukraine....out of 67 members/regulars on a Saturday afternoon watching the match in O'Briens, Kyiv, 23 are/were Ukrainians, who some have even travelled at huge expense to watch games here (visa costs, airfares and hotel accommodation)...cracking lads and proud to wear the shirts /hats etc...while most followed Manure or Chelsea even some for the Mags, we were probably the best respected of them all...Some of the lads off this board will know who from their meetings during Euro 2012...I'm sure your hearts and best wishes go out to them all.

Any of them get on here?
 
The easiest thing in the world would be for us to announce that we are playing in our away kits for the rest of the season, whenever possible, home and away, as they happen to be the colours of the Ukraine flag.

I'm not claiming it is going to alter the course of the war, but any message that we can send in support of Ukraine, especially as it would cost us nothing, should be sent. You never know how or when those messages get through.

Then if we really wanted to do something, we should donate a percentage of the extra away kits we would sell as a result to charities like the Ukrainian red cross.
