CHRIS WILDER has rapped Oli McBurnie after reminding the Sheffield United striker of his responsibilities.
McBurnie, 23, received an FA warning over his future conduct after he made an obscene gesture at Cardiff fans during last Sunday’s South Wales derby.

The Blades striker was cheering on ex-club Swansea from the away end.
And Wilder said: “I’ve had a word with Oli and reminded him that he has a responsibility with cameras everywhere that he can’t get involved.
“He has got to represent himself a touch better, and he understands that. So far as I’m concerned, we move on.”
Wilder had no issue with McBurnie, who had the weekend off after scoring in the 1-0 win over West Ham last Friday, supporting his former side.
The Blades signed the striker in a record £20million deal last summer.
Wilder added: “He’s got a big connection with Swansea and I’ve no problem with him going to watch his team.”
On the FA’s involvement, Wilder said: “I believe that’s quite right, too.
“They are red hot on stuff like that, so for them not to take any other action maybe speaks volumes for what it was.”
But Wilder did take a cheeky dig at McBurnie’s dodgy dress sense after he wore a loud black and gold Stone Island jacket in the Welsh capital.
Wilder chuckled: “He didn’t really go to the game in camouflage disguise, but I’m not mentioning the jacket any more because I’ve already done that.
“Other people have talked about it as well, and it’s certainly not something I would wear. He says he managed to carry it off – but that’s only his opinion!
“We’ve had a word about it, and I should imagine he got plenty more words about it at that Cardiff game.”
