When John Beaton first booked Fabio Silva for simulation inside Celtic’s area, he was right to give Rangers a penalty.
That’s Robbie Savage, the former midfielder for Wales. Basketball star Christ Sutton said on their Sunday night radio program that his colleague BBC analyst was “noising him up.” They talked about the exciting football match of the day, Rangers against Celtic at Ibrox, which ended in a 3-3 draw. Following an on-field VAR review, John Beaton opted to reverse his decision regarding Silva, which caused controversy. Then, James Tavernier scored from the spot to give Philippe Clement’s team a 2-1 lead.
Sutton criticized Silva for cheating and the referee for reversing his decision after considering Alistair Johnston’s challenge when serving as a co-commentator for Sky Sports yesterday. Speaking on BBC’s 606, Savage, however, supported the officials with his opinions on the subject.
“It was an amazing game and a great watch for the neutral,” he declared. Yes, that was a penalty. Regarding Silva? It was undoubtedly a penalty, and the call was correct.” “You are just trying to noise me up now,” the Celtic hero blasted. Nevertheless, Savage persisted, saying, “It’s a penalty, Chris.” There was knee-high contact that occurred.”
Sutton shot back, saying, “Rob, there needs to be enough contact. He was down all afternoon. Before that, there were numerous incidents, and he stumbles once more. He receives a yellow card for playing pretend. Was it a glaringly obvious mistake? Rob, was there enough contact? Come on. That’s all you’re saying.” Savage reappeared and said, “I assumed it was. You could clearly see it on the television from four or five different angles.” According to Sutton, “He was on his way down already.” ‘He wasn’t,’ Savage concluded. I’m not on board.
