In the cynical world of professional football, I suspect Banford would have been in trouble with his club had he tried to intervene.
Up until now my opionion was that the ex-scummer should be hung, drawn and quartered. Now I am going to give him the benefit of doubt because he didn't roll around like he had been shot, he got straight up and and put his hands up, clearly stating that he had not dived, but was also not fouled. Still think he's a Scum-twat, all the same!
