SFA charge for Elvis

Steven Pressley has been called before the SFA to explain his comments after the League Cup semi-final defeat from Celtic.

At half time in the match the Falkirk boss angrily confronted referee Euan Norris about Celtic’s first half penalty and continued to question the impartiality of the official after the match.

“I’m so disappointed for the players,” Pressley claimed. “We gave so much to the game and it was decided on two debatable decisions.

“The two pivotal decisions in the game went Celtic’s way and we paid the price for that.

“I just wanted justice for my players. The issue for me is would it have been given in the other box? That’s the question for me.”

Pressley will have that very question answered when he appears in front of the SFA on February 23 and will also have a few questions to answer himself.

Rule 68 of the SFA states: “No recognised football body, club, official, Team Official or other member of Team Staff, player or other person under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA, shall in an interview, a ‘blog’ on the internet, on a social networking or micro-blogging site, or in any other manner calculated or likely to lead to publicity (i) criticise the performance(s) of any or all match official(s) in such a way as to indicate bias or incompetence on the part of such match official; or (ii) make remarks about such match official(s) which impinge on his character.”

Hopefully after the hearing the Falkirk boss will retract his comment or explain what he was implying.
