Biguche Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 And Celtic's response.. oh dear, oh dear! The Scottish FA compliance officer is to review comments made by ex-Celtic captain Tom Boyd about referee John Beaton during Saturday's League Cup win against Dunfermline. Commentating for CelticTV, the club ambassador criticised the referee for not awarding the hosts a penalty. "If he doesn't know that's a penalty he should not be in the middle of the park refereeing a football game," Boyd said. "He'll probably be welcomed down his pub tonight again." Celtic said in a statement: "We have had absolutely no contact from the SFA in relation to this matter and, given the context and circumstances in which the comments were made, would be astonished if the matter were to be progressed. If it is, then we will respond robustly." Holders Celtic beat Dunfermline 2-1 in extra time and during half-time of the additional 30-minute period, Boyd commented further on Beaton's decision not to give the hosts a spot-kick for handball. "Old law, new law, no matter what kind of law, that is a penalty," he said. "How John Beaton hasn't given that... we've seen it before from referees like this. John Beaton not giving us penalty, absolutely stunning decision… standing alone there, I wonder what his thoughts are. "I'm mystified… I'm not mystified. John Beaton as though it was a pre-meditated decision not to give that penalty because it was so late in the game, I'm not sure. "It's come off his arm. Regardless of players down or whatever, he's not given a drop ball. So he's seen it hit the hand of the Dunfermline player and it should be a penalty. Outrageous decision from John Beaton. "We've not played well, but once again a decision from a referee may cost us in this game, hopefully we'll go on and beat not the 10 men, not the 11 men of Dunfermline, but the 12 men." The compliance officer is to investigate the nature of the comments. Boyd played for Celtic between 1992 and 2003, winning eight trophies, and was capped 72 times by Scotland.

Victorian Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Standard stuff. Characters like Boyd are typical of a wider delusion / hysteria in their ranks. They actually do believe in this cobblers. Completely beyond any known logic and reason. The club's response is standard fayre once more. Lower than a snake's bum.

TheOak88 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 What’s the deal with Tom Boyd, he was just before my time really. Is all the “everyone is against us” “we are the plucky underdogs winning against all odds” stuff some sort of attempt at parody? Or a satire?

Snorri1 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) They've won every trophy for 3 years. They are going for 9 titles in a row. They win nearly every game they play, often by a cart load of goals. And they can still come out with this stuff.

Bull's-eye Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Same every season, just a bit earlier than normal because they've realised Lennon may not be up to the task of total domination.

OTT Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 John Beaton is biased though. Lets not pretend he's actually innocent? The guy is arguably the most obvious of all the referees who're clearly huns. His officiating in games we've had against the huns has been nothing short of offensive. He's not fit to referee and the quicker he's chased out the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some really strong words against Boyd and Celtic from English on the radio tonight which was good to hear. These continual ‘statements’ from both halves of the Old Firm are becoming more embarrassing each time. Will never, ever accept that they are in the wrong and it’s always some else’s fault/problem. It was a cup tie at home to a Championship side and there’s conspiracy involved! Beaton is an awful referee but the guy and his family have been subject to horrendous abuse and threats recently. Those comments from Boyd were out of order and really don’t help the situation at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Lincs Jambo Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Beaton, imho, is a corrupt cheat who favours Sevco as is Madden. Collum is the same but favours the west coast vermin. They probably would be decent if they reffed in other countries but they don’t and it’s never called into question by the authorities. In cricket until fairly recently test matches were umpired by umpires from the home nation but not any more. I would like to see Scottish matches reffed by officials from Europe and have our refs officiate overseas. At least then we’d get away from the bias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
