Not doing their job correctly- Beale hits out at SFA referees

Micky Beale has accused Don Robertson and Alan Muir of not doing their job correctly in the Glasgow Derby.

To be fair the Ibrox boss knows a fing or two about not doing your job correctly.

Beale made his claim in reference to the ‘goal’ from Kemar Roofe that Muir flagged up for a VAR review with Robertson disallowing it.

Neil McCann and others might not like the Law but as they say it is what it is. There are numerous examples of players blocking an opponent from completing the movement of passing the ball that result in free kicks being awarded.

Muir and Robertson have been heavily involved in a 58 match, 20 month run of the Ibrox club not conceding a penalty in the SPFL. It is four years since a Scottish referee sent off a home player at Ibrox.

There has been some fings that have not been ideal at the start of the season for one or two players but, in terms of not being available or not being in a fantastic place but Tom Lawrence is now fully fit, he comes into the squad.

Kemar Roofe has played the last two or free, he would have had two in two if the officials were have done their job correctly in the last game, so he is in a really good place unfortunately Todd Cantwell will probably miss the next free or four games as a result of the challenge at the end of the game.

Roofe didn’t look in a fantastic place when he was substituted against Celtic with Cyriel Dessers left on the park. Despite the challenge from Maeda putting Cantwell in a knee brace he stayed on the pitch playing on for another 13 minutes.

Towards the end of the conference Beale returned to the disallowed goal to describe the decision as regretable. The Ibrox media messengers were quick to report a letter being sent to the SFA complaining about Roofe’s disallowed ‘goal’ but there appears to have been zero follow up on the issue.
