It is brilliant how well he dives. He is really good at that. He should have been in Rio. It was a dive. Cheat. What else can you say?
What pleased me about yesterday, and it was nothing to do with football or performance, it was that our Manager, live on television called it out, he blamed Robertson and Beaton for our defeat, and he was 100% correct to do so
John Beaton wasn't the original choice to referee Sunday's controversial clash between Hearts and Celtic as the match programme reveals.
Clubs are informed of match officials a fortnight in advance of matches which allows all involved to make arrangement, especially travel and occasionally accommodation needs.
Greg…
If the appeal is successful it will instantly question the competence of Beaton and Robertson which was exactly the phrase that Rodgers used after the match in a variety of media interviews.
Beaton has a long track record for strange decisions made in Celtic matches with the Morelos incidents in December 2018 the other stand out in his career.
We’re extremely grateful to the Call Robert team for pledging their support to the 20th celebration of Celtic’s Player of the Year Awards and in turn, pledging vital funds to support the work of Celtic FC Foundation.
My feeling is the game was decided by the officials, on the field and outside of the field.
After being singled out by Rodgers the spotlight is on the SF: do they hit the Celtic boss with a disrepute charge or take action against Beaton for going solo with his interpretation of the Laws, at odds with every other match official.
But I think when I see that level of incompetence is the only word I can use, then that makes me worry for the game.
During both spells managing Celtic Rodgers has went out of his way to avoid criticising referees despite a lengthy catalogue of honest mistakes.
