I have not seen any mention on any board about the "goal" for Bolton shortly before JET scored the winner.
Can anybody tell me what actually happened? I had taken my eyes off Green & just saw the Bolton player stroke the ball into the goal.
I do know that the referee wasn't watching & had no idea what to give. Anyone got a clue?

Green went to take the drop kick, as he held the ball in one hand a Bolton player came from behind him and headed the ball out of his hand, the loose ball was then passed to a Bolton player who stroked it into the back of the net.
Technically it could be given as Green only had one hand on the ball and therefore could be technically judged not to have 'control' of the ball, it could also technically be given as a foul on Green as the Bolton player could be penalised for impeding Green as he took the drop kick.
The linesman saw impedance and disallowed the goal.
It's one of those that could have gone either way.

Thanks Mark.
I hate to think what the reaction would have been in the ground & on the boards if a goal had been given!

A more direct comparison, this one was allowed to stand:-

12.16 GOALKEEPER POSSESSION OF THE BALL The goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball when the ball is held with both hands, held by trapping the ball between one hand and any surface (e.g., the ground, a goalpost, the goalkeeper’s body), or holding the ball in the outstretched open palm. Once established, possession is maintained, when the ball is held as described above, while bouncing the ball on the ground or throwing it into the air. Possession is given up if, after throwing the ball into the air, it is allowed to hit the ground. For purposes of determining goalkeeper possession, the “handling” includes contact with any part of the goalkeeper’s arm from the fingertips to the shoulder.
While the ball is in the possession of the goalkeeper, it may not be challenged for or played by an opponent in any manner. An opponent who attempts to challenge for a ball in the possession of the goalkeeper may be considered to have committed a direct free kick foul. However, a ball which is only being controlled by the goalkeeper using means other than the hands is open to otherwise legal challenges by an opponent. The referee should consider the age and skill level of the players in evaluating goalkeeper possession and err on the side of safety.
