McBurnie Video

[SUFCinks]

Personally think the Leeds lad deserved it. If you talk to anyone one in that manner then you should expect a smack. ‘Banter’ isn't an excuse for being a cunt. Glad Mcburnie did it! If the gobshite gets charged and he gets off then even better. Chavy prick.

The amount of people who think it's acceptable to hit someone who calls you names is eye-opening.

You can take the boy out of Hackenthorpe but you can't take Hackenthorpe out of the boy etc...

 

[Blad]

No I`m not and I find that rather offensive.

Sorry mate I take it back

Ya flat earth, sasquatch searching freak.

 

[The Crab]

I can't believe that amount of 'model upstanding citizens' we have on here.

The same that undoubtedly would offer a burglar a cup of tea instead of a baseball bat, because the latter is illegal.

I'd have distracted him with the tea whilst I was lining up a good shot with the bat..............

Yeah they will all be at the next game giving the rods to away fans and opposition.

I remember one time in Stoke where some enterprising youths gave their opinion on me after I declined to purchase cigarettes for them. I also remember sighing and walking away. And I don't have a media profile to worry about.

We're talking about some morons saying mean things, and they're tosspots for doing that. It could even rise to the level of harassment if it's repeated or assault if they make McBurnie feel threatened. What it doesn't mean is the excuse of "but he called me names first" that didn't pass when you were five suddenly becomes okay now you're 24.

I've had my altercations (at least one that did get to the level of me reporting to the police) but I can genuinely say I've never in my life walked up to someone and hit them because they shouted at me.

All due respect I don't think your situation is at all similar to the one Oli McBurnie faced, IMO. A one-off encounter in Stoke vs. footballer who has to face very personal abuse online and offline, week-in, week-out, walking through town with his girlfriend (supposedly), being followed (as evidenced by this video being in a slightly different location), goaded non-stop. They are nowhere near the same.

There you go, you can all get off his back now you sad cunts.

Errm I haven't said anything regarding this incident, just made a bit of fun here and there. But then again I still think he's a first class cunt for drinking and driving. Which some, especially if they'd had a family member killed by such a cunt may feel is also a bit "Sad".

 

[wavy-blade]

They wouldn't have shouted at Billy Whitehurst , now he was the hardest player ever !

BILLY IN HIS OWN WORDS​

On bare-knuckle fighting...

I got offered two bare-knuckle fights for a grand apiece. I took them. The first was easy. I just banged him and he went. Easy money. The second one dragged on for a while and I got mauled a bit. I told Maurice Evans (Oxford manager) I’d been in a car accident. He still put me in the team. I had stitches all over my face.

On one game for Sheffield United...

We were at Southampton and I went on as we got a corner. As I was running towards the penalty area, Vinnie Jones shouted to Neil Ruddock, 'Why don’t you call him a fat b*****d now, Razor?'. Ruddock went white, he panicked, 'I didn’t say a thing Billy, honest'.

On his contribution to tactics...

I remember my first match at Stoke. We had a team talk and (manager Alan Ball) said, 'The first corner we get, play it to the far post and get the knock-down'. I put my hand up and said, 'Gaffer, if you float the first corner on top of the keeper I’ll smash him and he’ll never come for another cross again'. Bally looked around the dressing room and said, 'OK, we’ll do that'. And we did!

It's a sad state of affairs when this is a hot topic for discussion.

21 pages... really?
(and yes I do get the irony that I've just added to it)

 

[Swinton Blade]

Assuming it's the same person who took both videos.

Sounds like same person filming both videos.

 

[PokerBlade]

Fair enough, and you'd be right.

But does McB strike you as a person who can control his impulses? Not that it makes it right, just asking the question.

He strikes me as the type of person who is capable of not punching someone, yes. He strikes me as the type of person who doesn't. He needs an assault charge and to be told to grow up.

 

[Latters]

It’s probably been said on here already, but people nowadays (and I’m now on the cusp of being old enough to say that, at 35) are all too comfortable abusing people from afar, safe in the knowledge that they won’t get a smack for it. The internet, as well as cosseted upbringings, has insulated people from real life. Troll people and get away with it, even down to there not being allowed to be losers at sports days anymore. People need to realise that their inputs have results.

The current generation have been brought up with no consequences and no repercussions. I don’t blame McBurnie one bit. I’m actually quite impressed he had the balls to go up to a gang of three pricks who’d been giving him shit and stand up for himself.

 

[PokerBlade]

No. We can’t agree on that. I can’t. Not always. Most of the time I can but sometimes not. Some of my mates are like that too, others aren’t. Those that aren’t should consider themselves fortunate because doing the right thing tends to make life a bit easier.

Can I have a list of what violent crimes people can't help but commit? We're talking about a deliberate act here, and we're talking about adults. I'm not being facetious when I ask that question, I'm genuinely amazed people want to tell me they really can't stop themselves from punching someone who insults them.

How grown up is goading someone so that you can film it and show your wanky social media followers?

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Amateurish from Oli

 

[PokerBlade]

Not at all. It's despicable. But as I said, now you're giving the schoolboy "But he was calling me names, miss!" excuse. It doesn't wash for kids so I don't know why it should for wealthy adults.

You do realise everyone is genetically different. Some people can ignore, some people can't.

Talking of Chavy great Avatar..... .....Seriously though if Oli had left the Cardiff stadium on the day that photo was taken and got banged out he would have got exactly what he deserved so no difference really...

No you can’t. I answered the first question honestly, I’m not playing philosophical games with you.

It's not a case of upstanding citizens, he should have walked away or filmed them he let's himself get dragged into situations. As for offering a burglar a cup of tea I've been done 3 times and I'd cut their hands off at elbows, dirty thieving scumbags they are the fucking scum of the earth.

He's 24 so he would go wading in I'm sure at 60 odd them days are well past me.

 

[PokerBlade]

You do realise everyone is genetically different. Some people can ignore, some people can't.

Aside from having some serious diagnosable impairment, yes, they actually can control themselves.

 

[bypassblade]

According to BBC just now its not McBurnie that was arrested its the guy who shot the video. "A 27 year old man has been arrested". McBurnie isnt 27. It then said Sheffield United is investigating with McBurnie.

Well that's changed from half 1 as it was a 24 year old on Look Leeds.

 

[Tarqs]

Well I bow down to your moral fibre then.

 

[PokerBlade]

No you can’t. I answered the first question honestly, I’m not playing philosophical games with you.

It's not a philosophical game. This isn't discussion in the abstract. This is a 24 year old who assaulted someone because they shouted mean things at him. All I'm saying is that, yes, I do expect adults to control their violent impulses. You and others think that's too high a bar when it's the kind of thing we tell kids they should know better than.

 

[Rodders]

What's wealth got to do with it?

Everything. He’s a a multi-million pound asset for his employers and remunerated accordingly. The employer (and his previous ones) will have given him guidance at how exactly to avoid situations like that.

 

[bypassblade]

Question, would you put up with that in the street, in front of your missus when you just wanna walk home..???

If you define yourself by what job you do I feel sorry for you, he's only 3 years older than the bottle job who's insulting him for no reason other than he's a footballer and he thinks his insta rep will go up..

Sorry love, he can just treat me like a cunt because of my job... If he hits me I can't do owt anyway even though I'm 6.7 tall and fit as fuck.. Come on.. Ffs..

IN answer no I wouldn't I'd run them over in my mobility scooter given I can't walk 20 foot, as for job I do I'm medically retired and 60 odd but I'm entitled to an opinion.

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Well done Oli Mcburnie, dirty Leeds.
