Just watched these incidents for first time. Shocking.

Where can you find the incidents, you have a link bud.

Nobody is denying that he is allowed a social life, referees have to be seen as impartial and beyond reproach, allowing yourself to be photographed in a loyalist pub is gross stupidity and his lifestyle choice should be questioned by his employers.

Why is one of our top referees allowing a guy to take a selfie with him in a pub?

For **** sake

Almost as bad as a certain cup final referee getting his photo taken with guys making a 5-1 gesture.

This is the Sky sports link, 2 of the 3 pundits agree with Beaton's decision on the incidents.

You ain't supposed to be seen in certain establishments though (not in Scotland!)

As was said, he should have seen red for either 2 bookings, could have been a straight red for the stamp though, really don't think each incident merited a red card.

The stamp was a definite red card and you have to seriously question the judgement of a referee who refuses to accept it after seeing video evidence.

[CraigHibee]

Beaton should have his baws booted for that but we all know absolutely nothing will happen, as for him having a social life, absolutely everyone should have one but it looks a little dodgy to say the least if he is visiting known sevconian establishments

[The 90+2]

What kind of utter pondlife threaten people over a football result? Cretins.

Surely he brings it on himself?

Or does that only apply to Lennon?

It's not just himself though. Threats were made against him and his family.

Maltese ref who officiated at the hibs game was a treat to watch compared to some of those imposters masquerading as refs now.

That’s not how I remember it, I thought he had a stinker but can’t remember any exact decisions. I seem to remember just laughing at some of the calls. However might be getting it mixed up with a European game.

It was one of the worst games of football I have ever witnessed. A complete non event. Can't remember any good or dodgy decisions but remember the linesman getting a wee clap from the famous 5 fans when he was checking the nets

Nah he'd have said 'so it is but' without anything more said, infuriates me, but what ffs?

[Radium]

It should be taken as read that nobody should be subjected to threats because of their involvement in a football match.


Beyond that we are in a position with public statements that is of the SFAs making.

TRIFC were fined £6k for calling out Collum recently clearly showing that the SFA did not have the stomach for a fight and were prepared to throw the officials under a bus.

Celtc will have sensed this and have gone public to sate their own support (and knowing that the SFA will do little to them for going public)

Beyond that, and despite having adjoining offices at Hamden, the SFA and SPFL have spent years developing a system for reviewing incidents that is not fit for purpose (sure it’s about 8 seasons old: remember O’Connor being in front of them for allegedly diving against St Johnstone). This despite a citing process working well in other sports

Arguments about re-refereeing a game are bogus. The incidents being discussed are possible red cards for endangering another player and there should be a way of these being reviewed, independent of the referees.

I expect nothing to happen, not because of any bias but because the clubs will be chased off with the threat of paying for VAR, when the current need is for an effective review process.

He worked for Strathclyde Uni in some sort of tech support role apparently. Also apparently quit and is effectively trying to focus full time on combining his efforts as a full time referee and supporting rangers...

Edit - checked with a ref mate, he quit his work because he was a 4th official at the Euros and he couldn't get time off.

Second edit - mate text to say he's now working with Scotrail. All this is available in the public domain via google so in no way trying to share privileged information.

No wonder the trains are late

Just watched the Morelos incidents for the first time.

We should save a copy and next time a Hibs player is sent off for any kind of violent conduct, use that as the central part of our appeal.

Laughable that Kamberi got a second booking in the derby and Morelos has done nothing wrong.

Absolute ****-hole loyalist pub, not that I've ever been in, but walked past it many times & looks rough as.

I was in it after the last game at Hamilton, I'm still alive.

That to me is the central point in all this. Refs will make mistakes, some more than others, but the chance to review incidents and maintain as much consistency as possible should be welcomed by all. It won't be perfect but it should get it as close as it can be and if refs are consistently getting decisions overturned then you can review their performance and give others a chance. That would take them out of the headlines and maybe encourage more refs to come forward as ability would be one of teh main driving forces in becoming a top Scottish ref rather than who you know.

He worked for Strathclyde Police in Comms before that... probably got the job after being asked where he went to school and what team he supported.
