What a twonk.

On another day he could have been sent off for the first yellow. He seemed adamant on getting sent off. I get you need to use your arms to jump but you can’t then swing out the elbow. Stupid. Maybe he wants his gaffer out

Westleigh · Post by **Westleigh** » Sat Dec 02, 2023 5:49 pm

Thing is he’ll only get a one game ban ,should have had a straight red and a 3 match ban.

The type of character who was a bully at school, stands in pubs hoping for some eye contact to start a fight and cannot string a sentence together. A total non entity of a human.

You don’t it is a professional myth.
Watch any player head the ball in any direction, unchallenged, and they never raise their arms that high. The easiest one to check is players heading a corner away. The ball has come in from the wing, they get up and head it as far outside their area as they can, NO elbows.
They only raise their arms to protect themselves from a clash of heads, understandable, but some choose to abuse the opportunity and assault an opponent. As McBurnie did today.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Sat Dec 02, 2023 6:01 pm

Quite frankly he shat the bed today and took the easy way out.

I’d be disgusted with him as a Sheff United fan.

He can actually play a bit when he wants to which makes it even sillier.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sat Dec 02, 2023 6:03 pm

Comedy contribution from him today. We’d have won without his help but it certainly made it a more comfortable afternoon for us.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Dec 02, 2023 6:09 pm

I think he deserves at least some of the credit, today. It made it difficult for them to press us with 10 men. Played right into our strength: possession football against a technically worse team which were running our of energy.

That was our successful championship model.

Just a thug, loves to lead with his elbows.
Barnes is just a niggly, wind up merchant, but never a thug.

Watched on TV, I can't remember if it was the first or the second incident but seemed to have 2 goes at connecting with o shea. Can't have any complaints and maybe against a preferred club he gets a straight red.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Sat Dec 02, 2023 6:25 pm

I thought Kavanagh was his usual indecisive self. McBurnie should have seen a red for the first one.

Swizzlestick · Post by **Swizzlestick** » Sat Dec 02, 2023 6:48 pm

Not only could he have had a red for either indiscretion, he was mouthing off at the ref too which he was lucky not to get booked for. Unbelievably thick. Don’t know why the captain didn’t intervene although they looked like a team not playing for that manager any more.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Dec 02, 2023 6:52 pm

I’ve not seen replays but my view in the ground was that both were red cards. That he got sent of for two yellows is ridiculous.

I’ve given up trying to work out what VAR does and does not get involved with.

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Sat Dec 02, 2023 7:27 pm

Weird as even from the JHU the sending off looked a cinch. The guy was (possibly) getting frustrated with O'Shea winning absolutely every header.

Claretitus · Post by **Claretitus** » Sat Dec 02, 2023 7:37 pm

Also embarrassing when fouled and rolled over 5 or 6 times in corner of Jimmy Mac/James Hargreaves’s, when Vitinho ( was it? ), got booked, then jumped up and ran off like a spring lamb. Absolute tosser.

I would have to see it again, but I wasn't sure Vitihno even touched him.

It was O’Shea I think and I thought he won the ball but would need to see it back.

It was O’Shea, and then the inept Kavanagh books him, laughable.

Hated McBurnie for years, was really re-ignited in me when they drubbed us 5-2 last season and he had this proper sh*t-eating grin and was winding up the younger lads on our team trying to get them to lash out.

Thinks he's Jamie Vardy, couldn't even lace Rebecca's trainers.

Its quite bizarre that Vincent Kompany and Ollie McBurnie received the same punishment for that incident.

ClaretsPadiham · Post by **ClaretsPadiham** » Sun Dec 03, 2023 11:09 am

The first red card of his career so he can’t be that bad considering he’s 27.

For what it’s worth we need a player the same I’d consider signing him next season, give us abit of height and a player who can bully a defender. Would have been ideal last season to hold the ball up.

Next summer he should be a target.

Not quite. When Andy Carroll could stay fit he was a far better footballer than McBurnie.
In fact, describing McBurnie as a footballer is stretching things a bit.

The last thing you do after getting away with a yellow card for a clear elbow is to go and do it again a few minutes later.

Pure idiocy. I'd be furious as a Sheff Utd fan.

Westleigh · Post by **Westleigh** » Sun Dec 03, 2023 1:08 pm

Gets a 2 match ban after already having one,should have been a straight red and a 4 match ban.

Big Vinny K · Post by **Big Vinny K** » Sun Dec 03, 2023 1:09 pm

Last 2 appearances at Turf he has been instrumental in Burnley totally dominating.
Last season in the first 10 minutes he was running around like a nutter chasing and pressing. After that he was blowing out of his arse for the next hour and could hardly move.
Yesterday he showed those Andy Carrol characteristic of a player who is nowhere near fit enough and showing his stupidity and frustration.

£20m signing more than 4 years ago and even though he is still only 27 I’d say he has pretty much zero sell on value. With his injury record and the type of player he is he’s only going to get worse.

It’s his second red this season so no marks for accuracy I am afraid.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Sun Dec 03, 2023 8:32 pm

Poor management from Heckingbottom. As soon as he'd got away with a yellow for the first assault his manager should have replaced him. It was blatantly obvious that he was a red waiting to happen. With that indecision the game was lost. If they'd got it back to 2-1 it would have been a nervy second half.
