Mr Bankes last bossed a Fulham game in
October 2019 when we bdrew 0-0 away at Middlesbrough in the Championship. He
yellow carded three Boro players and two Fulham players,Denis Odoi (7,f), Harrison Reed (72,f). To make it a little more difficult for Fulham he sent off keeper Marek Rodak in the 17th minute. The Slovakian shot-stopper was penalised by referee Peter Bankes for deliberate handball after he misjudged his charge out of his box and Jonny Howson tried to flick the ball over his head.
Earlier in the same season, August 2019, Mr Bankes refed Fulham when we were beaten 2-1 at The Cottage by Nottingham Forest. He booked four Forest players, two for time wasting, and two Fulham players, Harry Arter (50,f) and Aboubakar Kamara (90+9,d).
Prior to that game he refed four Fulham games in 2017/18 the most recent of which was the 2-1 home win over Sunderland in April 2018.
