Ryan Porteous appears to have sent Jim Goodwin a cheeky response after the Aberdeen boss accused him of "blatant cheating" in Hibs' 3-1 win over the Dons.
Aberdeen led through an early Luis Lopes strike at Easter Road but the game turned on its head on the brink of half-time when Liam Scales was shown a second yellow card for allegedly bringing Porteous down in the box. Martin Boyle converted the resulting penalty and two Josh Campbell strikes in the second half sealed a win for the men from Leith.
After the game Goodwin was left seething and accused Porteous of conning referee David Dickinson by grabbing Scales shirt and making it seem like he was upended. But if Porteous holds a grudge, he is showing no signs of it as he posted a cheeky pic on his Instagram story showing the two shaking hands after the game.
Speaking in the wake of the clash at Easter Road, a furious Goodwin said: "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. And I’m going to now have to go without Liam Scales again too, a big important player.
“It’s extremely disappointing, even more so for our supporters who paid a lot of money to travel down to Aberdeen to watch a game and be entertained. The second half was just impossible.”
