We love the footy as much as anyone, but we do have to admit that those who complain about the hooliganism and the diving in the sport had a nice daily double with the recent incident involving AC Milan and keeper Dida (pictured to your right). Well, the Celtic fan who “attacked” Dida has been banned from matches for life. Now, we agree there is absolutely no reason the fan should have been on the field. But we also question Dida’s shot-by-a-cannon reaction, shown perfectly here and described in the aforementioned story thusly:

The Brazilian turned and started to chase after the fan, then suddenly stopped and fell dramatically to the ground clutching his face. He was carried off on a stretcher with an ice pack to his cheek.

Yeah, there could have been a braver reaction.
