Stephen Pressley’s Falkirk team did well at Hampden yesterday but the manager did himself no credit with his half time rant at the referee, who chopped off a perfectly good Celtic goal but annoyed Pressley for awarding a penalty when Thomas Rogne was hauled to the ground.
An irritated Pressley, who always seems to be the one in the middle of any controversy, then gave an inexplicable post-match interview to the BBC, demonstrating as clear a case of Cognitive Dissonance you are likely to find outside of a textbook. At the time he, apparently, hadn’t seen a TV replay of the penalty incident, made no attempt to claim Darren Dods was innocent of the alleged discretion, nor did he suggest the referee had erred, but he was clearly troubled trying to reconcile these facts with his feeling of being wronged.
To all aspiring Cognitive Dissonance posters in the CQN comments section, new standards have been set. You are a bunch of amateurs with functioning resolution pathways and have no future in the game.

Anyone wanting a barometer on the changing mood of the Rangers support only need listen to the calls Big John, a honest concerned Rangers supporter, makes to Clyde on a regular basis.
Stormy, angry weather ahead as denial is left behind in the slipstream of anger.
Not exactly a queue of managers chapping the doors of poundlound to sign Jellyfish, he’s a fabric of the LL imagination 10 mil…
Forget about that one!!
Keevins: “for the good of the game rangers should be allowed back in”

Keevins is floundering,clown.
Id just like to say:
Welcome to the Celtic family Mr Brozek.
May you be remembered for all the right reasons, and bring us many fond moments.
Anyone know what shirt number he’s been given?? Sorry if that has already been mentioned.
Why bring in Templeton when we have so many players in that area of the pitch? Dont get me wrong, I like him, but only bring him in if we’re letting a people go.
And is he any better than what we already have? We’re at a point where the only signings we make should be ones that clearly improve the squad, not hike the wage bill. Will he change the dimension in which we play, will he bring in a wealth of experience, will he cause an overhaul in our starting 11??
Again, competition is a good thing, but too much breeds contempt. And the modern game may be utterly based around midfielders but we still have an awful lot.
Graeme in a nutshell ,a car park.

Stephen Hunt doesn’t make any sense to me at all, we have a load of midfield players at the Club and I can’t see him displacing any of our current midfield..
Be nice to see some of our huge squad going out the door!!

I agree and he wont’ bring anything new I feel. He works hard but sometimes is a headless chicken I think he’s past his best….but dont’ “hunt” the messenger! hail hail
Is J.Delahunt not aware of his contract of employment.
Pointing out to Bonkers Keevins & Spiers that the huns may not own Ipox or Sir Minty park after a liquidation.
Well done Jim,enlighten the deluded.
LOL “Hugh knows this story better than ANYONE!” G.Spiers just now
Clyde is brilliant tonight!! Liquidation,Newco,Bulldoze Ipox.
Gotta Go.

shug has driven a massive hole in his own argument…
SPL needs rangers because otherwise the TV deal will be ripped up
then…
he admits newco would be a seperate identity,
therefore would SKY not be within their rights to rip up the TV deal???
Im listening to Clyde just now…and these guys don’t seem to realise that if “Rangers” simply try to escape their debts through liquidation and then reform as the same organisation, with the same business address, much of the same staff and management and still in the SPL… then HMRC are not going to accept that they are a new company.
They will simply pursue them for the debts that “Rangers” still owe.
How many times have the panel said”there is no money”
obonfanti – Phil and RTC would need incontinance pants after that classic from Britney!!
Where’s wee Terry?!

steven pressley:
he is my type of character, a girfuy type. and a give his all type of player. he has his team
playing good football, but they are weak at the back. everyone can see it. so it was only a matter
of getting the ball to our strikers.
the penalty was a stonewaller, but these stonewallers happen every game, & i can 100% agree with
steven in feeling aggrieved, TV, however, makes him look silly.
(i think we should bear in mind, however, that the game is ongoing while the tv sitters pass judgement)
i loved his “get in there, attitude when they scored,
contrast that with lennys muted celebration &
it told me that lennys body attitude was in 1st gear.
Martin Oneil wasnt daft ye know, with those trademark leaps. & i didnt like the muted celebration
in a semi final, regardless of the opposition.
the whole team were in 1st gear. and that attitude was there for all to see up at inverness last season.
my take on this team, are that they are too soft. but very, very talented.
you will have seen it how mant times ??
should be out of sight, then hanging on at the end.
anyhows.
steven pressleys rant at HT,was purely protecting his players. & it worked. we should have had a penalty
in the 2nd half, but he wasnt giving it after the Doubt was put in his mind.
i love his passionate attitude. but theres a fine line between
passionate attitude & arrogance.
lenny knows this more than most. or at least the celtic family do regarding him.
my attitude is, every single goal should be celerated with vigour
i want lenny to do a martin !!!!! every time.

Goaaaaaat it

Can I suggest that 10,000 Celtic fans go £4k each and we take the £40m and buy them from the administrators?
I’m up for it on the basis I get to drive the bulldozer:-)
Why have Rangers fans not came forward to sort this mess out for them?
Wouldn’t happen to us.
Painting concourses.Fe**in hilarious.

BBC Scotland TV News sporsts bulletin nothing but a rallying call to Huns – focussing on desperate positives around the impending loss of Jelavic.
Three minutes of contrived juvenile pish to haul the Orcs back from the edge of the bridge.
In summary: ‘Hey, gang! Chins up! The Gers won the title last season without the top scorer! What an achievment if we can do it again! Hey, look, the sun’s out and Barney the dinosau’s having a garden picnic! Let’s all go sing songs of hate…”
Then we get a “‘meanwhile’ the Tims have signed this Brozek guy we’re pretending we’ve never heard of despite the last time Fat Sally opened his mouth without forcing a pie into it he told us we’d be getting him… ”
And the quote of the year so far put up onscreen for the hordes to salivate over from aforementioned rotund hun-in-chief Greggs-worrier: ‘Better players than him (Jelavic) have left tihs club but the club still goes on…”
Umm, maybe not this time, Alastair…
Overall, a magical risible piece of transparent media propaganda, the likes of which not seen since Goebels got behind a camera.
Memo: BBC Hun creatives; try harder FFS.
This IS a great phone in.. JCGE
