Can see both sides if I'm honest.
McBurnie seems a **** but wouldn't be the first footballer to fall into that description.
At the same time any idiot thinks that because somebody is famous they can give people abuse and film them with no comeback.
I may be wrong but watching that footage, mcburnie appears to punch, chest knee and assault what i believe looks like a teenager. Regardless if the people are filming and taunting, that is not the way to react.
Even more so if the person is under 18.
Let's be honest he is more than a little odd.
Ginger rage
Sign him up
Still missed the phone.
the lad doesnt look old at all :frown:
a professional footballer should be ashamed to be caught up in that
Has he signed yet
He'll have to polish up his people skills when dropping off and picking the kids from Howells School .

"Man arrested after Sheffield United’s Oli McBurnie ‘street bust-up video’ goes viral
A man has been arrested after a video appearing to show Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie in a street bust up went viral.
The 24 second clip, filmed in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, appears to show Sheffield United striker McBurnie involved in a brawl with 21-year-old insurance broker Elliott Wright, 21. It is claimed that the Scottish international was goaded about Sheffield United’s relegation from the Premier League before violence flared.
A man is seen stamping on a mobile phone, which was dropped to the ground during the incident."
Slap on the wrist and a fine or a custodial awaiting for the mad bastard??
Well thats clearly assault and depending on the injuries to the victim could be ABH
It may be that the victim doesn't want to press charges however the police may
Silly sod
McBurnie seems a bit of a tool but you could also say why should anyone just have to ignore someone shouting unsolicited abuse at them on the street, if it was a 16 year old kid I'd be saying rise above it but the guy was only 3 years younger than him. Not saying violence is ok but don't act like a prick to strangers is a good general rule to live by if you don't want to get a slap
His accuracy in stamping on the phone to kill it is about as good as his technique in front of goal. Tosser.
That's less than a 30 second clip, how do you know what happened leading up to it? I don't like Oli McBurnie and I don't think people should be going round getting physical and stamping on phones and stuff but you know what's a sure fire way of not getting roughed up or your phone stamped on? Not being all brave with your mates and giving someone you don't know shit and filming it so you can put it on facebook to show everyone what a legend you are.
Can't believe I'm sticking up for Oli McBurnie but I've got limited sympathy for people who set out to wind someone up then cry when there's consequences
He shouldn’t have acted out but what did the other lad expect? You wouldn’t act like that is towards a stranger.

Dull as ****. Gave the lad the bite he was after. Should have just laughed at him.
No sympathy for Mcburnie, no different to him standing in a football ground giving the wanker sign to opposition fans / strangers. Thats probably worse than some stranger filming him and laughing at him, calling him "shit", especially considering he is a professional footballer.
Dish it out, take it back.
He should rise above it yeah, and I agree with JRH said about him being a mug who's given the lad the bite he wanted but have you watched the link Bruce Parry posted?
Basically Oli McBurnie's my best friend and if there's anymore slander of him I'm flouncing off the board
Next time I see a lad arguing with his missus, I’m gonna make a joke about him being shit at his job and call him a ****.
Never thought I’d say this but I can’t really blame him for loosing it.
Video shows different, I guarantee this lad has gone round telling people that story but seemingly forgot he recorded the actual confrontation with Oli where he shows himself berating him for no reason.
Should Oli have ignored it? Yeah definitely but this knobhead recording isn't exactly innocent. He doesn't have the right to just abuse someone in the street cause they play football
Have you seen some of the abhorrent racist comments black players get either on social media or shouted at in the street these days? Real, horrible, nasty and personal racist abuse... and do they react by smashing people up? No they don't, although in my opinion I would understand if they did.
And yet Oli feels the need to go and assault a 21 year old which, based on that clip and other reports was nothing more than a childish little squirt giving it some. The lad was a bit childish but if Oli gets so triggered by a little prick like that god help him. Talk about a disproportionate response.
He's been arrested.
I'm conflicted. If we ASSUME that the camerakid was acting the dick and he got a slap then I've got little sympathy for him personally, but also no sympathy whatsoever for anyone who hits a kid even if they are asking for it. But we've got a bonus point here because it might mean something bad happens to Oli McBurnie and all of the evidence points to McBurnie being an absolute tit. I wonder if this is an opportunity for the Blades to get rid for free?
Unless you are an out and out superstar, you need to be squeeky clean these days and if I was an owner of a football club, I wouldn't want the likes of McBurnie representing my club.
Bloke looks and acts like a tramp.
