John Beaton

[The Harp Awakes]

God help us if we get this guy in the Semi v Rangers.

3 shocking decisions in the Rangers v Hamilton game, all of course in favour of the Rangers.

I'll never forget the disgraceful sending off of Handling at Ibrox three years ago when Hibs were on top. Its a fricken joke

Its like a return to the bad dark old day of Valentine, McGinlay, Dallas, Dougal etc etc, hun fans dressed up as referees and it would appear Beaton is of the same ilk. Sad very sad in this day and age.

didn't do Hamilton much good.

Does no one monitor referees performances?

That's two shockers in a row assuming he's just a bad referee and not a cheat

[Sir David Gray]

Shocking performance. Sevco should have been down to 9 players and their first goal was never a penalty.

[JimBHibees]

Just seen the Garner tackle wow about ten times worse than Danny Handlings. Quite simply a cheat IMO. He only then went on to score a hat trick.

[Hibernia&Alba]

But the Sevconians still have audacity to claim the whole world is out to get them, including match officials. Beaton won't have to buy another drink doon the ludge all year.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Pundits stock phrases about how player's shouldn't give referees questions to answer, has to work the other way for referees and players. Some truly awful decisions from Beaton in that game. Similar lack of control from the ref in the United v Bournemouth match.

[easty]

Worst refereeing decision of the weekend is still clearly Anthony Taylor on the Swansea v Burnley game.

An absolute shocker of a penalty to give. The linesman should have helped him out though.

[Nicho87]

The goalie collecting the ball outside the box was my personal favourite. Id actually be confident that with rangers draw record the semi final will be played at Ibrox

The Burnley player never even claimed for it.

It's almost worse that Garner was booked. That means Beaton saw it and didn't consider it a red card offence.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Beaton was live on TV (BBC Alba) for the game vs Dunfermline and that didn't prevent an utterly bizarre display.

When you're going to cheat, cheat clever. No booking would probably have involved the Compliance Officer and a retrospective red and ban

[Bostonhibby]

Think Beaton was a season ticket holder at ibrox when the now defunct Glasgow rangers played there?

[TheMentalHibees]

There will never be a worse or more biased refereeing display than mccurrys at ibrox when dundee united had I believe two good goals chalked off. Sure Beaton will do his best to better that if he gets his grubby red hands on a semi final.

[neil7908]

I really feel we're at the stage in football where video evidence is a must. It's never been clearer that the SFA, the media and any other institution involved in the game in Scotland are beholden to two teams from one city. Every other club, and by extension their fans, are treated with contempt.

The only evidence required to see the level of corruption in our game would be to witness the refereeing performance yesterday, and the 11 (or is it 10?) home ties in a row the Rangers have had in cup competitions.

It's clear the authorities won't reform themselves so technology is the only way we'll get a level playing field in the short term.

Anthony Taylor is the worst referee I have ever seen. Up against some very stiff competition from many in Scotland mind.

[Dashing Bob S]

If Beaton came out wearing a sash and carrying a flute he couldn't have made his intentions clearer. It's ludicrous that an individual like that is allowed to officiate in sport at any level.

[HFCdeb]

Absolute disgrace.

it wasn't even an attempt at a tackle, he just booted him.

NOT if these decisions favour the Hun ! Plus TV evidence hasn't stopped other Scottish refs from constantly helping out either half of the 'Ugly Sisters' previously so it's not going to start now.

I read on another thread that Beaton WAS a season-ticket holder before he became a ref, if that's true then I'd hope that - if we got him - Hibs would make an official protest.

Won't happen for same reason the SFA won't allow referees to be interviewed after the game. The evidence of bias is irrefutable and needs to be quickly brushed under the carpet. Forcing the ref to review vid evidence of their cheating would be too cruel and make their position as professionals laughable.

It is 11 straight home ties. Odds of this happening ... 1 in 2048 (ie beyond reasonable possibility). Same chances as...

David Moyes to be an X Factor judge
Sir Alex Ferguson to win Strictly Come Dancing
Hugh Hefner to admit he's a virgin

If they're drawn at home next time, will be same odds as Leicester winning the EPL.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Got to question the lino as well who must have had a better and totally unobstructed view of the Sevco keeper handling the ball outside the box. A bit like yesterday where Boyle was clearly onside when played in from the free kick, with the linesman in a very good position to see the play develop from when the free kick was taken and Boyle starting his run. It didn't matter in the end, but it could have.

As for Beaton ..... either a cheat or totally incompetent that's the only decision to be made about him ... I don't want him anywhere near any of our games before the end of the season.

What's the odds of next roulette spin being red if 11 blacks have landed in a row?

Simple incompetence eventually impacts both teams equally. The 3 early game-changing decisions all went Sevco's way, where there was more chance of 1, 2, or all 3 going Hamilton's way. And that's before you allow for how blatant each incident was. Nope, those decisions smack of bias and/or cowardice.

[where'stheslope]

After just watching the Celtic game, step forward referee Steven MacLean, the new Celtic player Kouassi just on the pitch goes into a challenge foot up studs showing and catches the St Mirren player Demetriou right on the shin guard while lunging for the ball, goes right through the player, and the ref gives a foul?????
If the Uglies get away with any more, it would not be cheating, it would be criminal!!!
