ian1964 10,720 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 ref hate Celtic-daft fireman who called Old Firm ref John Beaton ‘low-life cheating c**t’ in WhatsApp threats forced to quit job A DISGRACED fireman who aimed a hate barrage at footie ref John Beaton has quit his job while being probed by bosses. Celtic fan Paul McKee, 32, branded the whistler, 37, a “cheating b******” and “low-life scum” hours after an Old Firm clash at Ibrox last December. The dad of two was fined £750 after admitting the vile WhatsApp rant at Hamilton Sheriff Court earlier this month. And we can now reveal McKee, of Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire, resigned his part-time post before the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service could complete its investigation. Port Glasgow fireman called Old Firm ref John Beaton ‘low-life cheating c**t’ in WhatsApp threats An SFRS spokesman said: “He is no longer employed by us.” Kevin Cushnahan, 41, of Gourock, Renfrewshire, and Paul Keenan, 32, of Rutherglen, near Glasgow, also admitted abusing Mr Beaton. McKee declined to comment tonight. He spent half an hour repeatedly calling the ref's house phone - and moaned there was "no f***ing answer" when he couldn't get through. Whistler Beaton, 37, called in police after being subjected to abuse when his mobile phone number was leaked online. It followed a controversial Glasgow derby at Ibrox which saw Rangers edge out Celtic 1-0. Beaton was fiercely criticised for his performance in the match. As McKee admitted the offence last month, Depute fiscal Lynn McFauld said: "Mr Beaton received numerous texts and phone calls from numbers that were unknown to him. "He accepted the first few but then realised that his work phone had been compromised and he contacted Police Scotland and submitted his mobile phone for analysis. "The evidence showed the accused as an administrator of a group chat who was allowed to add other members and that he added the complainer. "The following messages associated to the now accused. "He said 'right Beaton ya f*****g s******g you have read the messages you f*****g banger, dirty cheating b*****d'. "Another read 'I have got his house number as well, been trying that for the last 30 minutes but no f*****g answer. You are a f*****g cheating low life c**t.' "He also sent 'Beaton answer your phone ya willy warmer' and 'f**k that he is a rancid scum b*****d and deserves all he gets for helping his mates in the lodges out, f**k him c**t.' "The accused continued 'John ya f*****g b*****d answer us, we know you have read the messages, f**k the Crown also ya weapon.' "Thereafter the accused removed Mr Beaton from the group chat. "Police attended at the accused's home in February and when interviewed he made certain admissions." https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/4488964/celtic-fireman-old-firm-john-beaton-job/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
