Blades' Brewster and McBurnie Charged by Police

[JfR]

To do with a scuffle they got in with a Forest fan on the pitch after the playoff semi (the same one where someone tried to cave Billy Sharp's head in)

I have very little sympathy for the modern footballer, but the idea that you're supposed to stand idly by whilst your teammates get assaulted is pathetic. Maybe if the police had dedicated even 1 tenth of the manpower and resources to actually policing the game and stopping fans invading the pitch that they've spent on reviewing video footage after the event we wouldn't be in this situation?

I think they'll both argue the mitigating circumstances and get fine/community service.

Aside the bad PR I suspect sheff utd will have them in the team.

I'm sure McBurnie was just trying to disentangle his leg.

I think McBurnie is being charged with impersonating a footballer

I think anyone in that situation would have lashed out at the nob that ran into him.
