'YOU TURD'
Rangers-daft McBurnie warned he could get his ‘face kicked in’ in X-rated handwritten hate mail from Cardiff fan
by Richard ForresterSCOTLAND striker Oli McBurnie has revealed the threatening message he received from a rival Cardiff supporter warning him he could get his 'face kicked in'.
The Sheffield United star was recently pictured in the Swansea end at the Welsh derby where he made obscene gestures towards the Cardiff fans.
McBurnie, 23, spent four years at the Swans before moving to Chris Wilder's side last summer.
But the boyhood Rangers fan showed he still has an affinity to his old club as he was spotted in his bucket hat and Stone Island jacket inside the Cardiff City stadium.
His presence appeared to rile one supporter up the wrong way however as they thought it was necessary to send him a piece of "fan mail."
McBurnie revealed the letter, which is riddled with grammatical errors, on Instagram.
It read: "F*** you McBurnie,
"You are a piece of s*** you want to grow up dont go to Cardiff City you could get your face kicked in you turd.
"Cardiff have fans all over the country so you could be a wanted man your an ignorant peace of s***.
"I hope you have a s*** season and you get injured your a child a pain an asshole your ugly to p****.
"Yours Truely, A Thomas, Wales."
McBurnie obviously found the funny side with the comment and 'laughing face' emoji: "Nice bit of fan mail this morning."
The striker was handed an FA warning for his role in taunting Cardiff fans.
While McBurnie’s behaviour was viewed dimly, it was felt that it did not meet the threshold for an official misconduct charge on the basis of bringing the game into disrepute.
Instead, Wembley chiefs wrote to the striker to remind him of his responsibilities.
