Mcburnie

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Some proper cretins on here judging by the previous messages.

Looks like mcburnie could be the new lundstram of last year.

Also could we get some suggestions as to what he’s allowed to wear ?

Maybe he should be going out in training gear ?

Nothing in navy blue with big owls on

 

[Stretch]

Silly boy, but I forgive him.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

He's deleted it now it seems. Maybe due to the comments...

This is the thing that people are getting worked up about? I was expecting some sort of major error of judgment, or worst still something openly offensive, rather than just a picture with a mate where he’s wearing some of Drake’s label. The logo vaguely reminds me of some other football team, but I can’t really remember which so it’s probably not very important. Fashion wise it’s simply on a Henderson level.

Leeds used to have an owl so double outrage haha

Personally I think it's a situation for "Ooer bit dodgy that jumper mate" and a chuckle not "fuck off you not Scottish twat, get your brain in gear rabble rabble rabble."

 

[Stretch]

To be fair, the latest Wednesday logo looks like Betty Boop has got her face stuffed in someone's arse, so it's hard to even associate an Owl with that lot at the moment.

Apologist!

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Who are the cretins may I ask ? Just so we are clear.

The people making such a big deal out of a person wearing a jumper?

 

[dc_blade]

It made me laugh more than anything. He’s got a permanent case of foot-in-mouth disease, doesn’t he? It’ll be forgotten in a week but, come on, how hard is it not to wear a jumper with a massive fucking owl on it?

 

[Greenblades]

I don’t agree with you calling people cretins but I guess I will have to accept your view? I will leave the McBurnie fashion / stupidity thread alone as clearly a Sheff Utd player wearing a great big Owl is ok these days. Not for me but accept I could be wrong

 

[sheff_blade90]

someone i knew last year. utd fan had same jumper/hoodie i was confused & said whyve got a massive owl on front. he said nothing to with football, its a drake thing.

but as has been mentioned albeit rarely. drake is not something i know about, just about can identify his face. his music is not my scene & im more a pop guy

 

[Dave9777]

You would have to really search out clothes with owls on them? Typical Leeds dick? maybe a bad joke to impress other Leeds “alphas” he hangs out with?

Could come across as taking the piss out of his new club & fans.....

On the pitch he spends more time doing an impression of caretaker Willie from the Simpson’s imo getting worked up & losing concentration, missing chances & getting bummed in the box by defenders. Can’t see him working. Get rid ASAP!

If we can’t bin him off easily let’s hope all of the above is wrong and that he’s actually a decent guy who loves the blades & improves.

Are you having a laugh? Wednesday don't own owls ffs

Owls are the bird du jour for the trendy graphic/art ink work t-shirt, I bet you'd be hard pushed not to find something with an owl on it in any somewhat trendy expensive clothes shop.

Also, he doesn't support Sheffield United so to him it probably didn't cross his mind, Kevin Cookson will have a word at training and he can ponder on it in future, but he should probably be able to wear what he wants outside of Sheffield Wednesday merchandise.

People can get overly sensitive about the most ridiculous things.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

forgive my ignorance - but who the fuck is drake and is he / she a pig?

 

[Guesty]

Someone was run out of town for wearing a jumper over their shoulders, so there is a precedent.

Drake? One of plymouth’s top boys, likes fighting Spaniards.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

It's simply, don't go wearing a jumper with that logo on it, you Wally.

Who's up for taking Ol on a night out, show him the Blades way, an initiation of sorts?

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

You do despair at the intelligence of to-days football players. After letting the flak die down over pissing off a nation after calling his national team crap he now further compounds this by wearing a logo offensive to his own club supporters. Did he not think there wouldn't be a reaction to him posting this on social media? Adverse replies from Blades are already being sent. What next a pair of matching green and white hooped trousers just to get the hat trick and offend fans of his one remaining football allegiance.

Coming from someone who spells 'to-day'



I've never seen that before...

Danger Man ?

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

In breaking news, 23 year old does something slightly silly if viewed under a microscope by people desperate to be offended.

 

[northsomersetblade]

Less bling more goals please Oli

 

[blademark]

How about some pics of you working out in the gym Oli, gaining some body strength, or some training videos showing you working on your weaknesses ?
I promise you will gain a lot more admirers that way.

 

[LondonBlade89]

Christ some people are pathetic. It's a fairly well-known fashion brand.

Listen to yourself.

........and he was Scottish and shit as well.

Haha. I do actually work in PR, and I'm not going to pretend as though a video of McBurnie on the training ground with some bland message about grafting and looking ahead to Monday, along with a few select emojis, would've gone down better. But I think people are being a little silly. I even get the owl digs to an extent. But I hate the “you should be on the training ground working hard” brigade.

 

[JackSUFC]

Got to a special kind of person to be offended by a jumper. I suppose these people don't wear or own anything blue either. Probably make jokes about hating Wednesday's too.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Anyone offended by one of our players wearing a top with the logo of a clothing brand of a global superstar is a fucking spaz. And I mean that. I absolutely expected it from the Blades Facebook groups though. I lose a few brain cells whenever I try to decipher what the gormy cunts on there are saying when they attempt to speak English.

 

[blademark]

I have a feeling that's exactly what Chris Wilder will be advising, or something similar.
