In a perfect world, all cheats should be deported or shamed.
This applies to non football related matters as well.

Hope Mulgrew goes right through him the first chance he gets :agree:

If this is meant to send a message, then that message is "we don't really care", "cheating is just part of the game".

It makes you despair at the people in charge of running the game in Scotland.

Punishment for Rangers would have been allowing him to keep playing free from suspension. :greengrin

Laughable he should have been hammered 5 game ban minimum. Pretty sure Gordon Smith was mouthing off just after he got the SFA top job about hammering cheating, just like alot of things he has mouthed off about, havent been followed up by proper action. Get the muppet out and get someone in with a proper pair of stanes.

If he played for a non-old firm club he'd be out til October:agree:

I'm not normally one for sticking up for the SFA as I'm not sure what good they actually do for Scottish Football but on this one I have a bit of sympathy.

Considering their connections to FIFA & EUFA I'm not sure if they could have given him a longer ban even if they wanted to.

There will be set bans for different circumstances. Lafferty's comes under simulation, during a game this is a yellow card so upping that to a two match ban is quite an increase.

Sorry for being sensible about this as he is a complete cheating fud but everyone knows that now including the referees, none of them will want to be the next one to be conned by him so he may have a harder time this season as a result.

This is a good decision and a precedent has been set.

It doesn't really matter the length of the ban, feigning injury is now officially unnacceptable.

Had no punishment been given, then we'd have something to complain about.

:confused:

In what way is a 2 match ban getting off "Scott free"?

I just hope that everywhere Lafferty plays he is reminded verbally by every fan that he is a cheat at every touch of the ball (which isnt very often I admit).

God wait till the Tynie Ghost gets a hold of him!:casper:
