Aberdeen fans have urged Pittodrie bosses to use Robbie Neilson's "blatant cheating" rant on Lewis Ferguson as part of the bid to appeal Jim Goodwin 's eight game sanction.
The Aberdeen boss was hit with a bumper ban from the Hampden chiefs for “making comments of a discriminatory or offensive nature” about Ryan Porteous after the fiery encounter at Easter Road, with Aberdeen quickly stating they are to appeal the ruling. Goodwin was furious after referee David Dickinson awarded Hibs a first half spot kick after Ryan Porteous went down in the box in a tangle with Liam Scales, which led to the Celtic loanee receiving his second booking of the game.
After the full-time whistle Goodwin unleashed on the Scotland cap stating: "People will say he’s good at it and he’s clever. But it’s blatant cheating as far as I’m concerned and it’s cost my team points." However, Dons' supporters insisted the comments were almost identical to comments made by Hearts boss Neilson about former Pittodrie star Ferguson.
