Jim Goodwin has been slapped with an eight-game ban following a Scottish FA notice of complaint for his comments on Hibs defender Ryan Porteous after his Aberdeen side lost 3-1 to the Hibees.
The Dons boss accused the Scotland international of 'cheating' after Porteous won a penalty following a foul by Liam Scales, which resulted in the defender being sent off. Goodwin has now faced the wrath of the SFA and will miss his team's next six games because of his words.
It has landed him a six-match immediate ban, with two further matches to be suspended until the end of the season. Goodwin said at the time of the Hibs defender: “I don’t know how many times the boy Porteous can get away with that kind of stuff. We showed our players a number of instances when Porteous has won penalties like that in the past.
