The boys of 2016 as Mark Warburton loses the Scottish Cup Final to Hibs
Dave Cormack has bottled out of taking the SFA to task over Sunday’s match at Ibrox.
With John Beaton in charge Aberdeen were denied an obvious first half penalty when Connor Goldson spent four seconds trying to wrestle Duk to the ground. The incident was clearly viewed by Beaton, his assistant in front of the Main Stand and Steven Kirkland on VAR.
In the second half Todd Cantwell kneed Liam Scales then raised his hands to the Irishman, Beaton took no action against the former Norwich star.
Sunday’s defeat ended a seven match winning run for Barry Robson’s side, a win would have virtually assured the Dons of third place and group stage European football next season.
Rather than tackle Ian Maxwell and Crawford Allan directly on those issues Cormack opted to comment on a tweet about the broadcasting of VAR conversations between match officials.

Hi Dave @CormackDavie the SFA referee department are a secret society and its full of the wrong ethics and cronyism.
Criticising them makes it worse. What will work is pressure on Ian Maxwell who is in effect their boss.
He should be answering for them.

I am sorry Dave this is not mistakes, it’s blatant cheating. VAR is in place to make sure there is some sort of title race, between the ugly sisters.

Refs in england have to declare who they support before they can officiate, Most won’t have a problem with this. We know in scotland this is not the case. The VAR money would’ve been better spent shipping in neutral refs from other countries. We now have bias refs with VAR.

Have you asked the @spfl to explain why we get Beaton 3 times out of 4 at ibrox and why he never gave penalty on Sunday.

Good luck to them explaining away what happened on Saturday at ibrox. Sick of seeing stuff like this happen but nothing being said or done about it. This kinda corrupt officiating is what’ll chase fans away more than anything else.

I blame the clubs. Fans see it but clubs do nothing. Remember The Gruffalo stamping on three of our players? Beaton said he saw it and didnt think they were fouls. Nobody raised the question of his lack of knowledge of the rules or, worse, cheating.
Lol just wait until it’s a big DECISION from a ref against us in a game let’s say this cup final coming up and it costs us the TREBLE,do you think our club will take the SFA to task,will they F**K so let’s not be having a go at Aberdeen for keeping QUIET as we ain’t going to be any different.
SFA win,t interfere they,re predominantly mason,s and no body investigates itself fairly . All scared of being black balled , cheats the lot of them but it didn’t stop what they hoped for , Celtic retaining title.
It’s a masonic thing with scotish refs there is the answer
