Sheffield United player set for trial over fan assault charge
Oli McBurnie denies attacking a Nottingham Forest fan during a pitch invasion after the Championship semi-final.www.bbc.co.uk
Trial isn't until December, we could ask them to rush it through!Is it too much to ask that he's found guilty then we can cancel what's left of his contract?
So, since he's signed for us he's been in trouble with the police almost as often as he's scored a goal?
what a complete waste of space.
Prolific.8 goals in 95 appearances.
top of the league for helping plod with their enquiries!Prolific.
He's 1 in 2 so far for convictions, see if he can make it 2/3!8 goals in 95 appearances.
Prolific.
If he does it's 100% guaranteed he'll get a custodial sentence and miss the rest of the season...Evans hit a ridiculous streak of form with his trial hanging over him, maybe McBurnie will react the same way.
Oh come on. I'm not his biggest fan nor am I his biggest critic (thought i do criticize) but his tenure with us has just been poor start to finish - when it does finish.Love the hatred towards McBurnie.
Blades fans and slagging our own, goes together as easily as night turns to day.
It is a bit beyond a joke now. I'll have no ill feelings towards the bloke when he leaves, but he's been a bit of a disastrous signing barring a purple patch in his first season.Love the hatred towards McBurnie.

What are you talking about? The post I replied to suggested he would hit good form, in which case it would be a big lossNo great loss then!![]()
McBurnie is detrimental to the team, not beneficial!What are you talking about? The post I replied to suggested he would hit good form, in which case it would be a big loss![]()
It’s difficult to disagree with a lot of it but, fuck me, it’s boring as fuck when people bang on about it constantly. For the last two seasons he’s been a waste of space, we get it, we don’t need hundreds of posts every week reminding us.Love the hatred towards McBurnie.

He simply doesn't belong with this club and his attitude off the pitch at times is not what we want.
His being a belligerent halfwit that struggles to do what he was signed for doesn't help him, to be fair.Love the hatred towards McBurnie.

Just remind me how many goals that was?
Personally I think it's a disgrace that he's been charged in the first place never mind being brought to trial and for the reasons you listed I think it will get kicked out.Charge upgraded to Assault by Beating from Common Assault. Seems the CPS are going all out to get a conviction. Assault by beating indicates force was used which could be as little as pushing, grabbing someone or spitting at them. The grainy video suggests some pushing but the grabbing was definitely done by Brewster. It seems there is a 13 year old witness to the alleged assault. How credible their evidence is bearing in mind he will also be a Florist fan committing a criminal act by invading the pitch remains to be seen.
Mcb has righty pleaded not guilty so the trial is moved back to 7 December.
I'm no fan of Mcb's footballing abilities but lets put some context here before the usual cries of lets get rid of him, he's a bad apple etc.
Nottingham Forest are guilty of failing to control their fans and allowing an illegal pitch invasion. Yet inexplicably even now the FA for reasons unknown are dragging their feet yet see fit to charge, Everton, Bristol Rovers and Huddersfield for the same offence. Mcb's actions have no bearing on a charge against Florist under FA rule e.20.1.
Hundreds of Florist fans carried out criminal actions in invading the pitch some threw smoke bombs into the away end yet no action has been taken by Notts police force unlike West Yorks police who are actively pursuing individuals.
A serious assault occurred on SUFC's captain and SUFC players and staff have said they were attacked and feared for their lives as stewards and police did nothing to protect them. Whilst Sharps perpetrator was dealt where are the investigations into these other concerns?
Against this background Mcb is involved in an incident with a Florist fan who ran towards SUFC players. There is an argument to say there were considerable mitigating circumstances leading up to the said incident.
No doubt the court of public opinion will convict Mcb before his trial simply because he's a bad boy. I've more faith in the legal process and its best to wait until the case concludes before jumping to conclusions about the outcome. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty and the conviction will only happen if the 3 Magistrate judges believe the evidence proves beyond reasonable doubt the alleged assault occurred.
McBurnie has scored just 7 goals in 87 appearances for the Blades since 2019!9 wasn't it? Is what I said incorrect?
Mousett got a lot of plaudits for that season. McBurnie contributed more to our highest ever finish and people are saying his time here has been "poor from start to finish".
