Live at the game it was Fogarty's ball. No question.

I rewatched the incident a few times before i posted before.

Martin had more space on his opponent than Fogarty had on his.
They both came from weird angles to the ball, not simply a going back with the flight of the ball. Martins back was to goal. Fogarty coming across the goal.
Ball was in Martins hands when they collided and Martin maintained possession after the hit.

IF Martin, stopped and called him through, Fogarty would've been tackled immediately as his opponent was right on him.
IF Fogarty, stopped and called him through, Martin had 1.5m on his opponent and was more likely to be clear.

I don't think either of them had enough time to calculate all that and i don't blame either one of them for their attack on the ball.

My whole point is that i don't think either are to blame, but to single out Martin is a bit harsh. If anything i think its 51% Fogarty, 49% Martins fault.


But Fogarty has more 'good vibes' compared to Martin, so people side with him.

In an ideal world Martin should have called the play, he had the better view of what was unfolding… did he call ?
If he did Fog wasn’t listening.
In Fogs position you rely on your teamates to call you in/out or at least try to protect you, especially to protect you from them.
Accidents happen, but it was costly.

100%

World is far from ideal though.

One thing that has me stuffed though.

How does a collision injury result in a hamstring???

Unbelievable backs to the wall type victory. Never thought we had it in us. Momentum is a wonderful thing. Let's hope we've got enough of it to continue on into September.

George has been a very important and unheralded piece of this side for a while, why he was dropped this year...
