1) Watched it in slo-motion on Sky+ a number of times. After 'keeper fumbles it might, just might, clip Halls back as its drops down and in to the net. Impossible to be certain from the angle, but a forward will defenitely claim it did. If it boosts his confidence then all the better.
2) Spot on. Will be 3 games, it may cost us badly. Cannot remember any agro between the players prior to that, and the Rovers player didn't do anything in that incident to warrant the retaliation.
