I just find it really hard to understand why a genuine contingency plan wasn't possible - with this much warning (i.e. they've know for 48 hours) they could fly the teams and officials to whichever of the islands isn't going to be impacted and play the game behind closed doors. TV cameras would be nice but the main thing (from a fan's perspective and acknowledging that safety obviously imperative) is the integrity of the tournament - if I was a Scotland fan I'd be furious if this decides their participation in the tournament...
