I know that in today's terrible Health and Safety world someone always has to be to blame, but the unfortunate injury to Gardner was 100% accidental, having seen the video. As Shaker has already posted Murphy went for a 50/50 ball totally in control. It is hard to freeze the action at precisely the moment before Murph catches the guy, but we are talking about microseconds in real time and it is impossible to see whether or not he even booted the ball before making contact. Of course it is difficult for refs when coaches and players these days scream blue murder for a sending of in such situations and I'm not exempting our lot from criticism, either, although JB does keep his cool rather better than most of his fellow managers.
