SFA is correct, Beaton wasn’t incompetent

Brendan has, as we all assumed, been brought up in front of the beaks. Undoubtedly, the timing is a little off.

The news that Brendan Rodgers had been charged by the governing body following his scathing remarks about the officiating after our Sunday defeat at Tynecastle was not shocking.

When it came to John Beaton’s role—who was, of course, doing VAR duties—Brendan was quite outspoken.

The Celtic manager was exactly right when he said that. The phrase “You would have to ask John Beaton” caused him to run afoul of the beaks. Along with calling Beaton “incompetent,” which many Celtic supporters will contest since they believe Beaton’s actions were premeditated to produce a desired result, which the Rangers supporter skillfully accomplished while doing his VAR duties.

Imagine the reaction this most recent occurrence would have gotten from Fergus McCann.

Beaton had a significant impact on the on-field referee’s decision to give a highly dubious spot kick. I apologize; I used the incorrect word—questionable—in the call.

It speaks for itself that even the much-maligned and biased Scottish football pundits have expressed a united disbelief in the judgment that was made. Kris Boyd, a fellow Bear, expressed disbelief at the decision.

Brendan’s request for clarification is undoubtedly not worthy of a meeting with the executive branch and possibly a touchline ban. Especially in light of the indulgence that has been demonstrated to rival that of a rival manager not so long ago for uttering far worse remarks. You are that, Philippe Clement!

The same entity that considers Brendan‘s remarks to be a criminal offense finds nothing wrong with a football club requesting that a referee be barred from officiating any of their matches.

There is also doubt over the time of the sit-down. The date set in stone is March 28. Three weeks from now, that coincides with the Glasgow Derby, which Brendan will have to miss if proven guilty.

All of this is due to the fact that Tomoki Iwata was facing the opposite direction with his eyes closed when the ball struck the back of his arm.

It’s interesting that they can drag players up in front of the beaks a few days after a game, but not managers.

The fact that Brendan could face a suspension only a few weeks before our season’s most important match is very ironic.

I hope the club will fight any impending ban with all of its might. A prohibition that would be utterly unfair.

In the face of an attack on our manager and our football team, Celtic shouldn’t be backing down. Celtic needs to take the initiative and expose the corruption within the Scottish football industry.

Additionally, if Celtic defeats Livingston this next weekend, we supporters need to think up our own ways to demonstrate at Hampden during the semi-final.
