McBurnie tweet

I think all driving should be banned

 

Let’s all jump on judging McBurnie. None of us were there so we cannot comment. Let him have his moment

 

I think all jumping should be banned

 

Is there any possibility that's just the cruise control setting and that this is before he set off? I don't know - I've never driven a Range Rover. Gally?

 

Can’t imagine cops can do anything. He can just say someone’s taking the photo from over his shoulder & that the passenger is holding the bottle & it’s hard to prove otherwise

 

Exactly, this is pure speculation and nothing that the Police could prove, which just goes to show the idiot who tweeted SYP is wasting Police time as they'll be "obliged" to investigate rather then spend time doing their job.

 

While it is probably something they can't prove and i wouldnt go and shop him in myself. The fact remains it looks very likely he was driving and had something in both hands. Worrying the lesson he has probably learnt is don't post stuff like that on Twitter.
Won't be nothing and people being over the top nit picking when he takes a life. Hopefully someone will have a word and tell him just because he is a wealthy young man and by looks of it a decent footballer, doesn't mean he can be a absoulete moron and people will be ok with it.
Road safety isn't a joke, lives are taken and ruined by people thinking they are the exception.

 

Snitch on folk? How old are you? If he killed a member of your family because he had champagne in one hand and a phone in the other would you insist he doesn't get arrested because of your pathetic honour system? 5 years in and numerous outlandish posters, this might be the stupidest comment I've ever seen on this site.

 

I think Ollie reads BBS & it was an ITK picture quiz.
Shortlisted manager seen at Oakwell - he's age 51 & was in the headlines for drink driving

 

Aye why should we care if someone breaks several driving laws as long as they are good at football. Beyond childish.

 

True but he has incriminated himself and the whole world has seen without people making police aware . Club should take action and police if true. But is it him driving or is he the passenger leaning over? Let the club and auhorities do their job I'm sure they are aware.

 

Well its quite a contortion act if it is because its a left hand holding the bottle and the angle of the arm suggests it belongs to the driver.

 

Paul Jewell?

 

To be fair I don't think that's the speedo. It's the Rev counter innit?

 

If this had been say a politician, or some sort of celebrity, this board would be awash with claims for them to be brought to justice, sacked from whatever role they're doing and possibly even made to walk through the streets of their home town naked whilst people throw eggs at them.

A Barnsley player does it and everyone becomes a physicist. "Judging by the angle of the champagne bottle in correlation to the angle of the seat, for McBurnie to be holding both that and a mobile phone, he would have to be sat at a precise angle of 103 degrees. Because of this, and knowing the weight of the accelerator pedal in a Range Rover (presuming the car hasn't been modified and is the 'sport' model), McBurnie would have to apply 6.35kg of pressure on the throttle to be traveling at such a speed. The average footballer requires a recovery time of on average 4.23 hours in order to comfortably apply such force to an accelerator pedal and since it was only 3.86hours after the full time whilst that McBurnie posted the picture, the only way he could be traveling such a speed, whilst being in such an uncomfortable position is if his right fibula is made of carbon fibre. This leads me to the conclusion that the only explanation of such a phenomenon, is that Oli McBurnie employs the services of borrower type people".

Dangerous driving is dangerous driving, regardless of who they are. The people trying to make excuses are being very naive if they think he wasn't driving at such a speed and taking photos at the same time, or just kidding themselves.

I don't think he'll be prosecuted as there's no confirmation he was driving. Whoever was, it's dangerous, simple as that. People die everyday due to things just like this.

 

needs some fuel in it

 

Definitely the Speedo. If you zoom in you can make out mph underneath the 51.

 

He would be well advised to say nothing. The Police would be required to prove that he was driving a vehicle on a road. Without any other evidence they would not have the necessary information to do this, nor to require information under section 172 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 presumably, as they would be unable to specify where the alleged driving is said to have taken place.

 

You've got better eyes than me then. It could easily say RPM from where I'm sitting. I also haven't found a Range Rover speedometer dial yet without numerals on it.
