Wow nice

I remember that. It ended up flying until it ran out of fuel. A fighter jet was scrambled and the pilot said he saw the plane with the windows all frosted up and knew at that moment everyone on board was dead.

Just hope they were knocked unconscious as soon as the lost pressure so didn't know a thing.

I was a fan of Stewart's, he was a class act

He was and I'll always remember he was the only US golfer to come out and have a go at the American fans for the **** they gave Monty at Brookline in 99.

Colin McRae was a ****ing idiot mate. He didn't even have his pilots licence at the time and was dicking about with low level manoeuvres and ended up crashing. Killed himself but took others with him as a result of his own stupidity.

Very sad and easily avoided.

Yeah, he was ****ing about and didn't even have a valid licence.

Reminded me of Chelsea Vice Chairman Matthew Harding, also in a helicopter returning from a football match.

His pilot meanwhile did have a licence, but not to fly by instrument. Shouldn't have been flying into those conditions.

I think the managers attitude is shocking....

Hearts' Steven MacLean cited by Scottish FA for grabbing Eboue Kouassi's groin area


Hearts striker Steven MacLean has been cited by the Scottish FA for grabbing Celtic's Eboue Kouassi by the groin during the League Cup semi-final.

The 36-year-old is facing a two-match ban after the SFA compliance officer reviewed footage of the incident from Sunday's match at Murrayfield.

Manager Craig Levein had earlier revealed: "He said he's been doing it for years - I had to chuckle at that."

Kouassi fell to the Murrayfield turf after the 24th-minute incident.

The Celtic midfielder angrily accused MacLean of grabbing him, but the incident was not spotted at the time by referee Willie Collum.

The Ivorian, who had been limping prior to the clash inside the Celtic penalty area, was replaced with Scott Sinclair a couple of minutes later.

An act directed towards the private parts of a player on the field is now being considered an act of "brutality" and is deemed violent conduct.

MacLean, who had assumed Hearts' captaincy after Steven Naismith was substituted for an early injury, had brushed off the incident, describing it as "just a laugh" and "just handbags".

But Levein said: "I'm ruing the fact that they changed the rules this summer and then it becomes a different offence.

"Obviously we'll have to wait and see what happens. I'm not going to pre-empt anything and we'll deal with the decision as it arises."

With Naismith and Uche Ikpeazu now injured, it leaves Levein short of options up front, although any suspension for MacLean will kick-in after Wednesday's derby with Hibernian.

I suspect he would probably laugh less if it was his groin being grabbed

If Boca can see it home tonight with a 2-0 lead from the first leg it will be a Boca River final in the Copa Libertadores. That will be utter madness!

Seemed to go well in the RP v Gremio semi...

How's he given that as a penalty??? Harsh to say the least; i assume from the footage that RP are the South American equivalent of the Mancs....

It was just a shame that he looked daft in those plus fours

Was Buzzo chucking 50p coins at Tyncastle last night?

Was Buzzo chucking 50p coins at Tyncastle last night?

It was a £1 coin apparently, so unlikely it was Buzzo
