Jim Goodwin admits interviews may becoming ‘very boring’ after touchline ban

Goodwin has already served the first game of his punishment, during Saturday’s 4-0 defeat by Dundee United, but is hoping to get the suspension reduced on appeal.

The Dons are working on an appeal which could mean Goodwin is free to sit in the dugout for Sunday’s cinch Premiership contest with Hearts and the Irishman hopes there is more leniency from an appeals panel after receiving an immediate six-game touchline ban and further two games suspended.
