Shamed Derby star Mason Bennett calls for Pride Park to ‘f***ing burn’ in leaked video footage as fans demand he is axed

DERBY striker Mason Bennett is in hot water again - as many fans call for his sacking over a video where he seems to shout "F***ing burn" to Pride Park.

The 23-year-old, on loan at Millwall when the coronavirus pandemic halted football, was in a drunken car crash last September 2019 with Rams'  team-mates Tom Lawrence, Richard Keogh and an academy player.

This time, after a clip was leaked of him apparently yelling the obscenity from a moving vehicle outside Derby's stadium, Bennett tweeted: " The video that’s come out was a private joke, didn’t mean any harm to the derby fans.

"The club has been great with me and will always be greatful (sic). I apologise if I’ve offended anyone.

"There is a picture of my good friend shinz and it was a joke to him."

'BYE BYE DERBY CAREER'

Most Rams fans on social media seemed sceptical of his apology - some saying his time at Pride Park must now be up, others simply urging him to stay to Millwall.

Comments included: "Bye bye Derby career" and "Young lads dream of playing for their boyhood club... not Mason Bennett he dreamt of giving them the worst name possible in the press... stay at Millwall."

Another said: "Probably be a better stand up comedian then a footballer."

Bennett's choice of friends was also questioned.

Such posts included: "You’ve got some good mates if they’ve made it public" and "Need some new mates. How does this stuff get out?"

Derby have declined to comment but Bennett's current contract expires at the end of June.

So as he was infamously involved in a road accident eight months ago and then loaned to Championship rivals Millwall his Pride Park career looks in doubt.

Bennett was seen drinking a pint and being sick in a pub toilet hours last September, before he and Wales winger Lawrence crashed their cars and briefly fled.

They were both fined, banned from the wheel for two years and ordered to do 180 hours' unpaid work for drink-driving.

Derby also penalised them six weeks' wages apiece, while Lawrence's backseat passenger Keogh exited the club when he refuse to take a huge pay cut.
