Sheffield United forward Ollie McBurnie has been acquitted of stamping on a fan...
The Scotland international was acquitted of assaulting Nottingham Forest supporter George Brinkley. The player’s barrister claimed that he was “like a ballerina” in avoiding contact with his injured foot.
Finding McBurnie, of Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, not guilty of a single charge of assault by beating, District Judge Leo Pyle said his judgment was based on evidence heard in court and “not the instant judgment of social media”. The district judge had been urged by McBurnie’s barrister to find that “a degree of club bias” was responsible for accounts given by witnesses to the incident.
