Did anyone else think that the foul on Murray for the penalty started outside the box? I was convinced at the time, and seeing the highlights i've not seen anything to suggest otherwise. Not complaining mind you.

Started outside, but continued into the box, so the ref is correct to award the penalty.

If it HAD been given on the edge, then the card would have been red though - given the choice, with the game lost, Rotherham would probably rather see the penalty given, than have Kelly suspended.

Makes sense, i had exactly the same though at the time, if outside it would have been red. As you say, penalty was best option for all involved. Well taken by Tomer as well.
