A bad ref is bad to both teams,a ref who is bad to one team is a cheat.
No, he's not a cheat, and I'm going to be kind to him here.
The game that made him a target was significant in two ways.
1) We won it easily - put the frighteners on them - first win since coming back up
2) He booked 9 of them correctly, 1 of us correctly, and should've booked Alfie but didn't
Because they got a jolt and Beaton went easy on Morelos they went down a route that seen that drop every last piece of context from the 9 that were - rightly - booked.
Suddenly it was "9 of us, 1 of them, and he never booked Morelos. Clear hun. 9 of us, 1 of them."
They complained to the SFA about one unimportant mistake
Then someone finds a photo of him in a boozer used by Bears*
It gets in a paper that is known to do massive favours for that lot
That was it - case proven - hun - out to get us
That was a bump on the shoulder from the club, and the supporters added their mental to it.
They made that guy Emmanuel Goldstein for a month on football phone-ins.
That mob put the frighteners on him and the media was more than happy to join in. Meanwhile Beaton's shitting himself. I cannot imagine Rangers ever doing that.
He is mentally unfit to referee either of us, and it is a shame because he was very competent at first.
