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.

Ca` canny,lads ,till you hear the final whistle.
OOOOOPS hows that for timing
My take, which you would get two bob for, is that if the Record, yes the bleeding Record are going for an all out attack on Whyte then the endgame must finally be upon us. They can then claim to have ‘exposed’ him to the eyes of the thems.
This is like waiting for Xmas. Interminable and if I don’t get the equivalent of an Evel Kneival stunt bike I will hunt you down Amadeus!

You should have been asking these questions when Whyte took over and not telling us about off the Radar.
This bhoy has them tobbered

Just switched Clyde on for a laugh – is the Claros to hibs a joke or is it legit?

You have got us all totally hooked, what time is dawn ? I see Keevins is resisting all pressure, suppose like others he wants to keep his job with MSM. Funny according to him there may soon be no need for football press corps…….ooops corpse or copes or capers !!

As you’re on the Internet, you are officially a bampot, so says Hugh keevins.
On FF the delusion continues apace:
“When will corruption charges arrive at SFA’s doorstep?
Below is an old quote from 1997.
The realist view is shared by the game’s governing body. “Obviously we are not happy with anything that brings the game into disrepute,” said Keith Cooper, of Fifa, the game’s world governing body. “But when you bear in mind the scope of the game, without sounding complacent, it is bound to have some black sheep. In which walk of life do you not?
“It’s hard to tell how much cheating there is but you can’t avoid the feeling that as more money comes into the game the temptation to do something naughty increases.”
L. Johansson, The Uefa president added: “We must improve the moral development of the game. I am extremely worried that many players, referees and coaches are being accused of bribes. We must not only preach fair play, we must see to it that everyone in football knows it pays to behave and if you don’t you will pay for it.”
Mike Collett, Reuters’ European football editor, who interviewed Johansson, said: “I believe the authorities are determined to sweep out corruption and to be seen to be doing that but I’m also convinced there is a lot of it going on. There is so much money involved. It’s not the players, it is the club officials.”
When Kurt Rothlisberger, a Uefa referee, was banned Johansson admitted, “This could just be the tip of the iceberg.” He added last week: “The more you dig the more you find.” If it is serious about cleaning the game up Uefa could start by increasing the punishments. After being found guilty of attempting to bribe a referee in the Champions’ League Dynamo Kiev were allowed back into competition the following season.
So here is the situation. We can’t really complain too much because at times, it is fun to laugh at the beggar’s incessant calls about corruption and conspiracy. Through the years we have still managed to win the most and look down upon them.
However, with some of the obvious knowledge over the last 12 to 13 years when things have continued to turn in “their” favour, should we be really worried now about Liewell, Lunny, the SNP and Regan’s actions? Are they so corrupt in trying to turn around all “perceived” injustices toward the dhims that they really will pursure all avenues, even eradicating us from existence?
Who knows, but after years of perceived corruption around the rest of Europe, isn’t it about time some “outside” journalist or media agency took a serious look at the small time, possibly morally-bankrupt setup at the current SFA and SPL? Past European investigations could pale in comparison with what “may” be occurring right in our own backyard. Maybe I’m just paranoid too and read too much on here and on Leggat’s blog!!!!
Only food for thought.”

Graham, go have a wee lie doon son..
Joined SSB late tonight and I’m afraid, whatever about the earlier stuff that I missed, the last 40 minutes have been Hunguffery of the highest order, in spite of some good callers.
The venom of Keevins and the slipperyness of Spiers is nauseating.
It’s true, they are repositioning themselves for post Armageddon.
Haven’t heard a bad word about DM. It seems the problem only arose ten months ago!

Think CQN could be having server problems later this evening. Just a wee prediction based on some stories we are hearing….
just popped up on my facebook, sounds interesting…….
A big story to break on Whyte tomorrow, hence the gloves off approach on Clyde tonight.
RATM,
And we all listen to what Keevins has to say …
Twisty….
careful with the links you click on matey………
There’s a lot of dodgy viral activity tonight.

Ah, Whyte, my old foe. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? … It is very cold in DIVISION 3.
No, you can’t get away. From hell’s heart, I stab at thee. For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.
