On Tuesday night Callum Beattie was tweeting that FA referees are embarrassing, the same night that Ibrox fans, players, pundits and legends were in meltdown after watching their sides first domestic red card in 25 months.Â
Tonight the C-list celeb, apparently a singer song-writer was picking up a fee from the SFA for conducting the fifth round draw for the Scottish Cup.Â
Someone in the SFA Comms department decided that Beattie was the sort of person that they wanted to be associated with.Â
If they needed any assistance they could turn to Darryl Broadfoot, Head of Sport at the Frame PR Agency and someone with long experience of the media and getting the right message out there.
Dazza, or Boyband as he used to be know as is a very smart cookie, he is often on Radio Scotland explaining media things to heavyweights like Tom English and Craig Levein.Â
He wouldn’t have needed to dig too deeply to find out about Beattie and his views.Â
His thoughts on Scottish referees wasn’t from more than a decade ago, it wasn’t an angry and immature wannabe craving attention. It was within the last week.Â
For the second season running no sponsor wants to be associated with the Scottish Cup, live television rights have been sold to Premier Sports.Â

This PCR day two travel testing scam needs to end. Cost me £1,650 in the past six months just to travel for work. I’m double vaccinated and it don’t mean shit. This ends when we all say so! #scamdemic

Got second vaccine yesterday. Feel like dogshit. @NicolaSturgeon threatening to strip me of my freedoms left me with no choice. No vaccine passport – no social life. No concerts. No income. Personally I think it’s a violation of people’s privacy and is damaging to businesses. ????

Hunny head with fake gnashers, pretty much like sevco footy klub—hunny skum with new gnashers…
This FUD epitomises what sevco and Scottish Footbaw is all about.
Embarrassing doesn’t begin to cover it.
