Ramage Lets Nolan Off The Hook

Ramage got in a terrible mess with keeper Pavel Srnicek, but he says the clear push in the back from Bolton skipper Kevin Nolan, had nothing to do with the goal.

Ramage: "Football is all about learning and I am still a young man learning my trade. And not only will I learn from this but this will make me stronger. It's all very disappointing. We were leading through Kieron Dyer's goal and we were looking very comfortable.

"The ball came over and I turned to head it back to Pavel Srnicek not realising that he had already come out. People are now telling me that the TV replays are showing that I was pushed in the back by Kevin Nolan, but I have to be honest and say I wasn't really aware of this.

"And while hindsight is a wonderful thing, I know I should have dealt with the situation a lot better.

"We have been beaten by two scruffy goals and we are disappointed to lose to two goals like that. However that's Bolton's style of play and we have no qualms about it.


"But I thought that David Edgar on his debut handled all the pressure really well and it will have done him the world of good in the same way that Paul Huntington has come through in recent games.

"There are a lot of angry players in our dressing room who are determined to do well at Everton."
