Peter Grant and Paul Cuddihy spoke for many Celtic fans as they watched Kyogo Furuhashi get booked by John Beaton last night.
Unfortunately that is as close as you’ll get to criticism of SFA officials from someone at Celtic.
Even the crusty old ‘surprised and disappointed’ template statement rarely gets aired with Michael Nicholson telling shareholders last season to prepare for teething issues with VAR. A year on match officials are still using that free pass to do as they like.
Kyogo’s booking is self explanatory, if action is to be taken it is to award Celtic an indirect free kick for obstruction, twice he was blocked by Marcus Fraser to allow Zak Hemmings to time waste.
With a booking Beaton managed to use up a minute with the Celtic striker knowing that one misplaced challenge and he’ll be sent off and suspended for Saturday’s match away to Ross County.

Grant: He has been blocked from running, and you are not supposed to be able to do that. He has stopped in front of the player. They have done it from kick-off any time it is played back and it is the defender’s fault. I find it incredible the referee has given a booking for that, absolutely incredible. He should be embarrassed.
Cuddihy: I think he has booked him for kicking the player. But he views that as a booking.
Grant: If he is kicking the player, it’s an ordering off. You can’t stop somebody running.
Beaton is a dangerous man amongst many in his stable…
If only they’d play the rules of the bloody game – but no – Sevco don’t want that so it won’t be done…
Plenty fans of other teams ‘flag’ these issues up…
What a fcukin disgrace that none of their directors never ever do !
Wonder if the board will say anything about these incidents and the attitude of Beaton to Celtic, whom he always referees with a snarl on his face and an attitude of doing all he can to obstruct the team’s progress.
This cheat should be nowhere near a Celtic ( or sevco) match.
Scottish Football is totally corrupted beyond any reasonable doubt. That is a fact!
That our Board are willing to accept the status quo on this, means that they have put their stipend beyond their own honour, the honour of the Club and the honour of the Scottish game.
They are spineless, corrupt and shameful!
The goal that mob scored last night where Clancy blocked the player
Imagine the outcry if Dundee scored that
Look dry your eyes these refs and decisions are here to stay they ain’t going to change,infact they will only get worse and mire blatant,if it’s possible if it can get anymore blatant than what is just now.
The games a bogey and the baw is burst,and people are wondering why it’s nickel&dime sponsorship deals being signed,the decisions from last nights game for us and the weekend game for sevco is your answer.
As I said on a previous post we ain’t winning the league,but it won’t be down to our play,it will be down to the officials digging sevco out the hole they find themselves in,but our own club officials will see that sevco are alright,that auld saying one hand washes the other they both need each other for SURVIVAL.
As clear a penalty as you’ll ever see…Can’t wait for our Board’s OFFICIAL complaint about this…!!
Oh sorry…did I say …OUR Board…??
Cancel that then…
Not fit for purpose.
If Beaton was a Tim and reffed matches against ‘them’ as he does us now, he wouldn’t get out of Ibrox alive. Are we too soft or too decent? I’m not sure but reffing as he does could and possibly should cause crowd disturbances a lot, lot worse than anything the GB or any of our supporters currently does. Yet Lawwell attacks our supporters and he has previous for that but does NOTHING about a ref potentially causing a riot?
Just WHY is Lawwell’s name front and centre again? It’s most certainly NOT because he’s a Celtic supporter. He’s an odious tory leech, just like his major shareholding master is.
Get them tae fukk and they can take the rest of the Board along with them. Charlatans to a man.
SACK THE BOARD BECAUSE THEY RATS ARE A DISGRACE THATS ON IT MIND DONT FORGET P.LAWWELL TOSSED 10INAROW AWAY TO SAVE THE BIGGEST CHEATS IN SCOTTISH FOOTBALL RANJURS FC AND FOR OFFICIALS I HONESTLY SEE A FAN RUNNING ON THE PARK IF LOYALIST BEATON KEEPS GETTING CELTIC GAMES AS FOR WALSH HE’S ANOTHER SCUM FUCK WHEN HE’S HIDING ON VAR. SCOTTISH FOOTBALL IS A DISGRACE AND ITS GETTING WORSE THESE SO CALLED OFFICIALS ARE JUST PICKED FROM THE LODGE AND TOSSED ON THE PARK TO HELP THAT SCUM AT CHEATING LIEBROX..HH
Beaton does what Beaton wants!
And then he goes drinking, after the match, with his sevco pals!
