Brewster and McBurnie Charged

[Hillsboro Blade]

I don’t know if McBurnie is innocent or guilty but his reputation precedes him. Drink driving, fighting whilst pissed, stamping on a phone, acting like a wannabe hooligan at Swansea matches. He just doesn’t help his self does he when incidents like what happened at Forest occur. Whether he is innocent or guilty I just think we should get shut of him, it just hasn’t worked out.

Absolute disgrace of a decision. What do you expect them to do after Billy was assaulted and fans were running at them from all directions? No way would they have been charged if they were high profile PL players.

The police in this country are fkin useless.

That's a side show and irrelevant to what did or didn't happen at Forest. We should try and move him on because he's just not very good.

If it goes jury trial let’s hope any Blades on it can base judgment on the actual evidence rather than his performances for us. Which, sadly for some, isn’t the case here.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

The police will lie and cover each others arses to divert from their own incompetence. It's what they do. They shame this country

Brewster should try the race card - they're terrified of it

We should try and fuck Forest as hard as possible over this. Leaves a bad taste how the soft headed morons at our club rewarded them with the play off ticket allocation...

I hope he is innocent but he’s got to change his ways long term. It’s not right I know but a reputation can sway some juries etc it’s just a fact of life unfortunately.

 

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

Difficult to be stitched up with tv cameras and thousands of potential witnesses ?

Bladeloyal I agree with Snowflake

Anyone inside a football ground, behaving (for eg) like a deranged steelworker type, and captured on CCTV & video, would expect to be arrested, charged & convicted.

That's not a stitch up, that's bang to rights.

 

[BettingBlade]

Forest genuinely surpass the pigs as the most deluded, arrogant bunch of cunts in football. Not one of them has seen any footage that conclusively shows anyone being stamped on.

We see Keith Lard fall to the floor and McBurnie stood over him….it could be a stamp but it could just as easily be him trying to get out of the way so in no way conclusive. But the thick scab bastards already want them both hung drawn and quartered.

Thick as mince, every single one of them.

 

[RammyBlade]

Oh dear.

The EFL have had an absolute nightmare here.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Its Nottinghamshire plod that's charged them !!! absolute joke

Even if it did go to a jury trial which seems to be a bit speculative, is it likely that the jury would have any Blades or Florists on it?!

 

[Deleted member 1486]

Well folks, we are now officially bitter rivals.
Never really gave the scabs much thought but now I hate the cunts with a passion.

Always hated them. They’ve always been cunts.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Never quite grasped how vile forest fans were before all this

yep agree - I have a Forest fan FB friend who I used to work with - thick as mince and twice as arrogant !

How long until first player is punched by a fan this season then? My money is on first weekend, police and football authorities seem to have no desire to get a grip of the situation.

Notts Police (and SYP) were both named as Police forces who in some cases haven't solved a burglary case in over 12years! Seems like instead of going after footballers on nonsense like this they could actually do their jobs.

Oh you are asking far to much mate . Easy pickings is the name of the game nowadays.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

I know it’s for the court to decide, everyone knows that. But unless the players have just attacked random fans for no reason it will be in self defence and I’m sure that will be proven in court.

Wasn’t having a go Harry just pointing out CPS should consider this before charge as well as the court look at that defence in the hearing. It would also be interesting to know what they considered when looking at the public interest criteria.

Fair comment even though I think they should not have been charged McBurnie always seems to be at the centre of bad publicity .Wish he would put as much effort in upping his game as he does attracting a bad press. My God his game needs it as does the club.

Did they manage to trawl the footage enough to spot the ones who lobbed smoke bombs into us at the ground? (After repeated public messages from Forest suggesting this was already a problem). Thought not. Great to have them “back”.

 

[Mojo]

The video doing the rounds is inconclusive. So unless there is other footage then I can't see how anyone could find them guilty.

If the FA won't take action and the notts coppers are bent, we should take matters into our own hands and take legal action against NFFC

I hope Forest get absolutely fucking mullered every week next season.

 

[blade too long]

how can they assault people not allowed to be there

total farce

 

[Kev Gee]

Disgraceful decision!

 

[Alan Roberts' Jinking Run]

Can someone tell me why forest have not faced any disciplinary action for failing to control their fans.

 

[SUFCScorecard]

Seems to me that Brewster will likely get off, or have a small fine. He wrestled someone invading the pitch to the ground. There are countless examples of this.

McBurnie on the other hand, if there is better footage (assume there is) and its clear he is stamping on him, could be in trouble with his relatively recent caution.

So a stamp with his injured foot (painful???) or a stamp with non-injured foot meaning body weight supported on injured foot (painful???)

When Paul Ince manhandled that Barnsley fan to the floor he was quite rightly universally praised.

Brewster basically shoves a fan who barged into Bogle during a mass pitch invasion and gets charged with common assault.

There's a nasty stench about this.

It would also be interesting to know what they considered when looking at the public interest criteria.

I should imagine this is the biggest factor in the charges, certainly for Brewster. If that scenario is played out in a City Centre, I’d be very surprised if Brewster got arrested.

For McBurnie, if another **** or the ground CCTV has got evidence of him stamping on someone, it’s definitely an offence that you’d get arrested for.

But what the Police do have is a ‘victim’ wanting to press charges (the Vieira incident may not have this).

The problem is the message that it sends out, particularly if the ‘victim’ isn’t charged for breaking the law.

 

[biggiesablade]

Gotta go not guilty on this doubt it reaches trial a full on farce

 

[Foxy]

Because the most important thing was gathering evidence on the Blades fans having the audacity to complain about having smoke bombs lobbed at them I’d imagine?

I think as I said before a lot will depend on whether the police start issuing summonses to the pitch invaders too. The incident only occurs because the “victims “ were themselves committing offences. If they don’t get prosecuted too then there are serious questions to be asked of the Notts authorities in my opinion
