Zen Jambo Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Awful footballer, awful person. Gave some young lad a pasting on the weekend just a stones throw from my house. Maybe it didn't just happen unprovoked, I am sure there was fuel to the fire before the camera was rolling, but this is outrageous. Knuckle dragger. https://talksport.com/football/878916/sheffield-united-video-oli-mcburnie-news-punch-fight/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say they have been following him around and taunting him, and saying horrible things. People say his reaction was out of order. So, if thats the case then Glen Kamara's actions in the tunnel at Ibrox were out of order and his three game ban was a very lenient sentence for using violence towards another player, regardless of the horrible thing that player said to him.

Bazzas right boot Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Be interesting to see how it started. If a grown adult starts shouting abuse at you and slagging you then what do you expect? It's all very brave of some to give abuse to a player from the safety of stand, but if you do that kind of shite in the street you can expect to get thumped imo. Ofc, if he's just being a dick then hopefully he gets charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruickie's Moustache Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Don't really rate McBurnie but the fact remains that he is a highly trained professional sportsman used to physical contact.

i8hibsh Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 If he was filmed by some nobody then had the video posted on social media then that is good enough for me. Burn him, slit his throat, gas his family and jail him for life and hopefully he will lose his job, custody of his children and his life savings. Or, in the real world - let us hear his side of the story and carry out an official impartial investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone shouting abuse, isn’t justification for physical violence, outside ‘bro law’. He’s a grown ass adult and I would expect to him have some self control. Especially considering his ‘high profile’ nature and every bam nowadays is more concerned about likes than fights, What benefits will his actions bring ? Nothing except trouble for himself. His actions, irrespective of how justified he may have felt was the wrong on a number of levels. Doing something to your own detriment, with no benefit is stupid, I would imagine he’s regretting his actions and rightly so. If saying nasty/ abusive things about people was justification for physical violence, you’d be dead 🤷🏻♂️ Don't know if it's justification or understanding. If someone screamed racial abuse at someone I'd expect them to react, Likley physically. If someone screamed at my kids or wife and gave them dogs abuse then they'd get hit. It does not justify the above actions but it is certainly understandable. Where is the line, can you go an inch from someones face and scream what you want - racial, xenophobic, vile, personal insults and if you get hit it's the other person's fault. Is it OK to shout across from the street. Can you call some a jock *******, ugly, fat ******* and not expect to be hit but if you call someone a black ******* then it's OK? Where is the line. Lots of folk defended Kamaras actions a few weeks ago and imo rightly so. If you shout abuse and record a young lad in his twenties and continue to do it, then imo it's your own fault if you get thumped. If he's reacted to something really insignificant, then he's just been a dick. Anyway, everyone will think different and this is more of a shed topic, not for me.

Bazzas right boot Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 7 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: It might be understandable but absolutely no benefit will come from it for him. Him failing to control his emotions, is going to cost him, by the looks of it in a number of ways. Carrying out an action that has no benefit from it, is stupid tbh. it’s not ok to shout abuse at anyone imo but a person being abused, has lots of choices how they react to it. They choose to react by physical violence, they weren’t forced to, they could have easily reported, ignored, defused the situation. His action was his choice and he clearly moved some distance to carry the action out. You can come up with imaginary scenarios, but essentially people are choosing to react and that due to an absence of self control. Something he has demonstrated before. MycBurnie, is more likely been having a bad day and reacted to something he didn’t like, being filmed or called him shite, than racial, xenophobic or family abuse tbh. So it probably best we leave the whabatoury alone. Getting got on camera phone thumping some is beyond stupid as well. Adults take responsibility for their actions they don’t pretend someone forced them to do something. That excuse making and nothing more, Anyway he’s been charged so he will go through the legal process, most likely. All fine, but maybe the benefit is that prick with the phone won't do what he did again to some other person minding their own business.
