Flew to Islay on business and pilot was only crew on board. There were about 7 passengers on the small plane. Not long after we took off the pilot asked if anyone wanted a coffee. I thought "wtf" how can we get served. He bent down and picked up a Thermos flask and passed it back. I didn' t stop laughing until we landed.

That is so true. Never seen anything like it. Funny looking back. When the rest of the passengers all opened their free boiled eggs the smell was something "special".

You should try Aeroflot the Russian airline. Now that was an experience.

UEFA final ticket allocation in 2008 the 2 guys in front of me got 2 tickets in ballot and it was their first year with a ST. They didn' t renew after that.

Been on CCCS since the beginning and no tickets for this game. I wonder if those in C1872 will have tickets. Willing to wager that CH and CG get to attend. Sickened.

Have you seen our results so far? Lucky to beat Well and Dundee, drew with Hamilton and Kille, today's disaster. We still have to play Hearts and Aberdeen. We haven't progressed at all in the last 6 months and I don't see any sign of that changing any time soon which is what is extremely worrying.

We have the 2nd largest budget though and as things stand we will struggle to finish in the top 6 never mind 2nd place.

Nobody said they weren't behind the team but realistically we are underdogs and on current form any neutral wouldn't give us much of a chance. I am an optimistic person as those who know me are well aware however I am also realistic and I think we will be fortunate to get a draw. Yes I hope we win but being a Bear doesn't mean that I can't form an opinion based on current form.

The fans aren't kicking the ball though. I've been to plenty of these games where the fans have given the team plenty backing and it has had no positive effect on the team or the result. This game will hinge on the manager and the players, not the fans and certainly not the realistic opinion of anyone on here.

Totally agree. Obviously I hope we don't lose but realistically we will be lucky to get a draw never mind win.

Why the game wasn't on RTV is a disgrace. Even the RFC web site live report wasn't working. I had a view of periscope a couple of times and saw a couple of goals but the comments at the side were so annoying and mostly unbelievably banal that I gave up.

Phone to book carvery on a Sunday as it is often really busy. £15.95 per head. You will not get better food, better service or better choice anywhere else.

The manager has to be criticised where it is deserved. The question is, does he deserve some criticism? I believe he does and results tend to prove that. From March 18 last season we played 8 league games winning only 2 (3 losses 3 draws). In these games we conceded 16 goals. In the 2 Scot Cup games we drew one and lost one conceding another 5 goals. This season after only 4 games against mediocre (at best) opposition we have dropped 4 points scored only 6 goals and conceded 4 (one per game). Looking back since MW arrived we saw immediate improvement and he conducts himself impeccably with the media. However we have to ask has there been any further improvement and in my opinion the answer is no.

I agree we really need to spend more on better players and I'm certainly not defending King but the tactics are hopeless. We have some decent players but we aren't getting the best out of them and for that you have to look at the management team. Every single dead ball into our box looks like it could end up in our net. The central defence is utter crap. We were lucky at Hampden against the dark side but I fear they will totally humiliate us at the Applepine Arena.
