Three days before he takes charge of the Glasgow Derby the SFA have been forced to overturn a red card dished out by John Beaton.
Ahead of his big match as Ibrox the SFA put Beaton in charge of the Championship match between Partick Thistle and Inverness Caley Thistle in the hope that it would keep the Bellshill based official out of the spotlight.
With minimal TV coverage, no Fourth Official or VAR Beaton was on his own as he booked Cammy Kerr then sent him off for a ‘second’ yellow card offence.
The on loan defender was red carded in the 66th minute, with his team losing 1-0 to remain second bottom in the Championship and facing a likely Play Off to avoid relegation.
Had Beaton applied the Laws of the Game correctly Inverness may well have take a point or won the match.
Today the Caley Thistle website reported:
The club is pleased to announce that following our appeal to the SFA Fast Track Tribunal, the red card given to Cammy Kerr by referee John Beaton has been rescinded along with the yellow card he received for simulation. Cammy is now available for selection this Saturday.Â
In October Kerr was awarded a Testimonial Match with Celtic providing the opposition.
Caley Thistle are four points behind Queens Park in eighth place with five matches left to play.
That decision is the entire proof that John Beaton is an incompetent official ! No it’s ,buts ,or maybe ‘s ! Brendan Rodgers has been vindicated of his succinct assessment of this ‘ official ‘ ! Completely irrefutable evidence that this ‘ referee ‘ is incapable of doing his job in a professional manner . Because of this damning new evidence to support Brendan’s criticism of Beaton ,the Celtic manager’s punishment ought to be rescinded ….tout suite ? The proof is out there !!!!
Oh dear another comedy of errors sorry HONEST MISTAKES.
You’d think that for arguably the most significant [?] game of the league
so far, that the SFA would choose their best, most capable, and in form ref?
Beaton’s appointment seems to be NOT based on merit,
so was it simply based on vindictiveness from Hampden…?
At least he won’t be anywhere a Clachnacuddin FC game…
THANK FUCK FOR THAT !!!!!!
I don’t think he’d make it out of there alive mate!
They don’t give a fck about giving Beaton the game on Sunday no matter how many mistakes come from him, the objective is too sticky two fingers up to Celtic and laugh at Celtic.
