2) The liner was not positioned right to give it - being about five yards outside the box.
3) Refs will always tell liners 'Show a bit of leeway with keepers and kicks out of their hands - if he's coming close to the edge of the box have a word with the left back to warn him - do NOT put your flag up and give it' which is exactly what our friend the liner did!! (I honestly cannot ever remember such a decision in the PL before or since)

I thought it was the Bolton fans that gave that decision.
