Doesn't mention a fine, tho I agree with you.

The club should at least distance themselves from it by fining him the maximum they can under their own rules, given the Strathclyde FA didnt.

Again ….a local charity is a great idea. And should happen more often…or at least publicised more.

I wouldn't have minded if Porteous had actually dived to be honest, but it was a wrestling match and the ref made a decision when he saw the arm around Portos back. That's it.

I see that he admitted the offence. See the last line of the SFA notice - as follows.


Outcome: Admitted; Suspension of eight matches applied as follows: Six matches immediate, and two matches suspended until the end of season 2022/23.

[Mcbizz1998]

That’s a great suggestion but SFA bylaws specifically disallow applying the rules to The Old Firm, and they are definitely not allowed to upset The Rangers.

[Bristolhibby]

Does that ban include from the dressing room and any communications with the dug out on match day's?

I think that’s how it works. On match day he goes to the stand and no contact until after the game.

[Billy Whizz]

He’ll be in the stand for the next Hibs game v Aberdeen

[JamesHFC]

Hmm… what will come first: Godwin’s return to the dug out, or his sacking?

They are 5th (2 points off 3rd) and in the quarter final of the league cup in which they will probably reach the semi final due to playing Partick at home.

Don't think he's under any sort of pressure.

[Donegal Hibby]

Very happy with this . Feel the punishment fits the crime .Might hopefully teach him a lesson to conduct himself a wee bit better when his team get a doing rather than throwing his toys out of his pram. Aberdeen fans fuming and want to appeal :crazy: . Didn't like the article in Football Scotland about it , really bad piece of journalism imo.

[Scorrie]

Yep cos by inference, he was also criticising Scottish referees and the beaks won’t have that. However, I’m sure Sportsound will spring to his defence

An excellent outcome and a statement of intent from SFA that such accusations of cheating and besmirching opposition players without foundation won’t be tolerated.

What’s the betting though that the subject of Goodwin’s censure will be a topic of debate on Sportsound tomorrow and the narrative of combing through Porto’s “misdemeanours” will continue in the media, and particularly the BBC.

It’s a start at least.

[green day]

Aberdeen are appealing the ban. Wonder if it can get increased?

Maybe easier to get shot of him, if he’s in the dugout

[mjhibby]

Why are they appealing it when hes held his hands up and guilty as charged. No chance it will be reduced. I suppose they think its worth a try. Well done the tache for ensuring we get fair treatment. Im not holding my breath for any fair coverage from the scottish football media.

[Onion]

Goodwin and Aberdeen are thick as ****. There was never a hope of them getting away with Godwin's rant post-match. He should have apologised long before now. The fact that they couldn't bring themselves to accept they were wrong is part of why they got hammered. And rightly so.

Enjoy the 8 games, you plum.


The only downside, is Aberdeen will likely play better without him.

[LunasBoots]

Aberdeen are appealing the ban. Wonder if it can get increased?

Wouldn't be surprised if they reduced it by a game or something, but they need to send a message to others that it's not on.

Unfortunately, this ban benefits Aberdeen.

I take it they think the ban is to severe and that's why they are appealing it though I wonder if it could be increased if they lose appeal. Makes things into a farce if they even cut his ban by a game imo .He was out of order and punishment is appropriate.

Should be another 8 game ban for trying to influence the ref before the match imo

Well deserved, but what's the appeal all about?

[007]

Mind when we always used to win when Lennon was suspended and in the stand. The players were more relaxed and played better.

[Vault Boy]

Very, very funny.

He will be gone within the month.

Do you really think so? Think there's zero chance of that. They'll be there or there abouts for 3rd come the end of the season.

[Since452]

What on earth can they appeal? He implicated himself on national TV. Trying to sway the referee before the game even started. Hopefully they extend it for being stupid enough to appeal and wasting everyone's time.

It can only be this, particularly as Goodwin admitted the offences at the hearing.

I dont know how they do these things though, he maybe thought by putting his hands up he would get a more lenient ban?

If, on the other hand, they explained why the ban was going to be 8 matches with 2 suspended - and he accepted all that - then their appeal would probably be deemed a waste of time and increased.

I am just speculating, of course !

[Iain G]

The length of the ban? :dunno:

They want it to be longer 🤣

[Jones28]

Maybe if the appeal fails the two suspended games will be added to the 6.

I think we snubbed him for the Hibs job when Ross was sacked ad thats whats got him so riled up.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

So it was 8 games reduced to six so if they lose they will get the 8?

Don't know what'll happen if they lose but the extra 2 are suspended so they'll kick in if he's a naughty boy any time between now and the end of the season.

I’ve even seen people arguing that he was right because it was a foul on Scales before.

Even if you believe that, I’m not quite sure how anyone can claim that the referee not giving the foul for that one but rightfully giving a foul for the Porteous one makes Porteous the cheat. At worst he got away with a foul seconds before being fouled himself. That doesn’t make him a cheat unless we’re going to call everyone who commits a foul a cheat.

That's because they choose to believe the narrative of their ears (i.e. the 'journalism' of the agenda driven bluenose press) rather than their eyes. He's only won 2 penalties in his career. One was stonewall, the other was soft, in fact if you review past incidents he's had clear fouls against him in the box not given and goals chopped off for nothing!

Goodwin went way OTT in his criticism, attempting to deflect from a lame Dons performance by questioning a players character and integrity, hence why the SFA need to set a strong precedent here. Like they probably will for Lafferty's sectarian comments.

Said it before, it resembles how it was with Darren Jackson. Hated by fans everywhere else until he executed that dummy for John McGinley to score for Scotland. After that, along with his general effort and energy, he was liked a whole lot more than he had been.

Not in the box but there was an incident against Ross County last week where a midfielder poleaxed him as he was running into the last third. Nothing given, no replay on the telly.

We played Widnes away on TV and he was not allowed in the ground. Every away fan turned up with a mask of his face to which every single person had to be checked before entering the ground. Masks removed etc.

He was there in the pub before hand with the fans having a laugh.

Said it a few times after the game but he said once they went down to 10 men it was impossible for them to get anything from the game. At the time I thought that was mental but even more so after today when you saw how hard Motherwell made us work for the points.

Kilmarnock the same when they had 10 men.

What a lot of pundits seem to be forgetting is that calling Porteous a cheat was only one part of his offence.

The reason I think he'll have received such a harsh punishment is that he also admitted to approaching the referee before the game to warn him about Porteous. That is an absolutely scandalous thing to have done, never mind publicly admit to and he deserves all he gets.

Agree complete deflection from actually how poor they were on the day including two stick on penalties not given against them or even discussed on radio or tv. Hibs could have beaten them 6 1. They are horrific defensively. Motherwell are a far better team

[Stokesy's on fire]

He hasn’t really. He had a shocker yesterday but overall he’s been a very good signing for them and won their POTY award last season. Posts like these are no different to the uniformed pish opposition fans write about Porto based on their dislike of something he’s done in the past and a couple of lowlights they’ve seen on Sportscene.

Mccrorrie has 100% been cow dung. Everytime I watch them he looks hopeless.

They played him at CB midweek in a good home win. Moved him back to midfield because Scales returned yesterday and they got well beat. You think they'd have been stronger for having everyone back and playing in their 'preferred' positions.

They don't seem to be a good away side but get results at home.

I suspect mccrorie is the least of their problems.

It's incredibly hard to do the correct thing and just ignore this pish.

Genuinely inexplicable. You'd think his 'cheating' was football's ten most outrageous dives all rolled into one, rather than two guys grappling and falling over.

That’s the thing.

It’s debatable whether it was a penalty or not, there’s no way it could be considered a dive though.

As for them not understanding Lee Johnson’s point about good play leading to a penalty, that’s just ****ing stupid 😂

[Carheenlea]

Genuinely believe that we should be consulting our lawyers and look to take legal action against Conroy and Roach if possible. That’s the second time they have publicly accused Porteous of cheating and have now dragged Lee Johnson into it as well with malicious personal slurs.

Completely unacceptable.

[Mick O'Rourke]

The writer of the scandalous article in the express is their Sports Editor, Lindsay Herron,who has a relationship with the hun fc going back 25 years.
He was, or has been in charge of rangers media,rangers website, rangers tv and assorted PR and commercial stuff for that mob.
So no bias there then !
Like the magic hat, still be raging at our Hampden Exuberance.
Journalist ? Sports Editor,even !
Re hashing old comments from two ex,below average,3rd rate refs,who chose to slander our player and gaffer.

Our media person at ER should be putting this liar in his place.
As for the two ex refs?
Dont suppose they have any intention of attending a Hibs game at ER anytime soon. Pair of cowards.
Lee could invite them to explain their comments,though.

[weecounty hibby]

The Daily Mail. Convoy and Roach. FFS surely no one is taking that trio of **** ups seriously. Its like the Beano asking someone who once owned a Meccanno set to comment on the design of the new Queensferry crossing!! Best ignored and probably has a lower readership than the Beano as well.

With the nature of the accusations, it can’t just be dismissed as something to ignore in my opinion. The club has a duty to defend our player and manager in the strongest possible terms in this instance.

It's ex-refs talking amongst themselves on a ref's podcast. They can't have much to talk about on each show so this came up again on the back of the SFA action against Goodwin.

As with their original comments, nobody cares about them. They're ex-refs ffs, there is nobody less important in Scottish football.

Absolutely no way should Hibs be engaging with them in any shape or form. Don't pay them any attention. Talk of legal action sounds like something Budge would do.

Might have been mentioned already but Leanne Crichton had a right go at Goodwin on the radio before the game, saying that he was focussing far too much on Rangers' problems and what the sheep were going to do to them. I know she gets a bit of stick but she was spot on.

Could have been 9 or 10 apparently.

From what I can gather he made the same mistake Johnson did at Celtic Park and tried to take the game to Rangers, inevitably they got picked off at will.

I think it's dangerous to look at both that pair struggling in Europe and think they are vulnerable. Losing to Napoli, Liverpool and even Leipzig or Shakthar is different from playing Hibs or Aberdeen. There's not really a comparison to be made.

Fans don't like it but the only way to get a result against that pair is to shut up shop and hope to nick a couple on the break. That maybe wasn't the case at Ibrox for a few years but even though they are some way behind Celtic it's probably back to being the sad truth again now.

No UEFA do and the clubs have to sign up to be responsible for their fans if they want to play in the competitions. The clubs in Scotland do not want to be responsible for the behaviour of their fans in domestic competitions so there is no regulation.

I’m sure there is in a token manner but the clubs are not responsible so no disciplinary process can be started against them.

After the Scottish cup final in 2016 we ran a train through the SFA disciplinary constitution. Well rather our Lawyer did who happened to be the SPFL lawyer at the time as well - all very complicated.

So you can call a player a "cheat" and attempt to influence refs and effectively get a 3 match ban (let's face it, Goodwin is unlikely to pick up another touchline ban this season)

SFA and SPFL really need to put it down in writing exactly what a suspension should be for things like this. 5 matches is probably the minimum IMO, no partial suspension of punishment either.

[Sir David Gray]

For me that escalates the offence to a different level and the ban should have been increased as the appeal should have been thrown out and deemed frivolous.

To have the ban reduced is pathetic.

Yes they have made a rod for their own back here. 3 matches for calling someone a cheat and trying to influence officials pre match is ridiculous. Wonder if we will see more of this now. Win, lose or draw we should send a backroom staff member to the post match interview on Friday and call out all their cheats and see what happens.

Goodwin has been cheating all his playing career 463 appearances and booked 145 times with 7 red cards.

The big difference with Neilson is that he said Ferguson dived and cheated, which he did that night. Goodwin claimed Porto dives regularly and is a cheat at all times basically, not just that penalty incident. Big difference which is why Ferguson got no abuse in the press/media yet it has been an absolute pile on for Porto.

Absolutely pathetic to reduce his ban

I think managers will now know that if they call a referee a cheat, they can expect a three game touch line ban effectively meaning they will have to communicate any tactical information via the technology readily available.

Clearly it was originally deemed worthy of an 8 match ban (2 suspended) what would a manager need to say to incur that suspension again in the future?

“A Touchline Suspension prohibits an individual from: Attending the dugouts and technical areas before, during and after the match. Entering the field-of-play and the prohibited area in the vicinity of the touchline and goal lines. Coaching or issuing instructions for the duration of the game.”

He was clearly issuing instructions to Watkins there as he came on the pitch.

Hibs have to submit a complaint, even if it just gets his ban extended, there's tonnes of footage of him issuing instructions to the bench and players.

Is there a way for a normal punter to report something like this?

I was thinking this during the first half. He is clearly not adhering to the conditions of his ban, this should mean an extension to the ban and also Aberdeen getting a fine for not providing the correct seating arrangements.

It kind of reminds me of the breaching of bail conditions that I process everyday 😂

I doubt Hibs will get involved but I think the fans should be complaining to the SFA.

:agree: Pretty blatant breach of the terms of his ban.

I think Porto should issue a statement about him cheating…just to keep the panto running!

Post match interview should say something along lines of it was good to see him back on bench, for a laugh!
