Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin's been handed an eight match ban by the SFA for accusing Hibs star Ryan Porteous of "blatant cheating".
Goodwin made the comments after his side's 3-1 defeat at Easter Road last month.
He'll initially serve six matches away from the dugout, with the other two suspended.
What was it that angered Goodwin ?
The Dons boss was furious about an incident which led to Hibs being awarded a penalty - and saw reds defender Liam Scales sent off.
Which comments got the Aberdeen manager into trouble ?
He said : “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. 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."
