Irish cyclist apologises to Marcel Kittel for selfish selfie

Sorry, in fact, no I am not. I am on kittels side, the man is in maximum oxygen debt trying to recover and some numpty comes and invades your space. If that was on the tube and happened too you you would have him done for assault or react in a violent manner... So no it's not ok or funny. Obviously those that think it's ok have never felt like kittel feels there, because it is the last thing you need. And neither has that t##t ever worked hard enough in training or racing, otherwise he would not of done it. Funny how people think it ok to do that to a world class cyclist/athlete, wonder what would of happened if the ball boy had jumped on top of Murray when he collapsed on the floor when he won Wimbledon and took a selfie?

The man sorry boy is a dickhead.

I'm gonna stick up for the lad here. It was no big deal, he meant no offence. David is just a young lad and we should all cut him some slack. Yeah Kittel ain't smiling in the moment because of what he's just been through physically, but I don't doubt that he sees the humour in all of this - at least he should. I don't know who you think you are calling this young athlete of our fine sport offensive names over something so trivial. I think you need to grow up and get some perspective BOY!

Dear me, I think you need to calm down. The only one who would be getting done for assault, with the kind of attitude you display, would be yourself.

The kid has admitted he made a mistake, and apologised. It's not like he tried to nick his sunglasses or mess about with his bike. Kittel has TV and press cameras shoved in his face 10 seconds after crossing the line every time he wins a stage.

Really, I struggle to find words to reply to your stupidity.

The selfie may have been mistimed but he's clearly been caught up in the moment. Kittel is a professional athlete and should be well used to the camera, at all times, if not he should find a less "public" job.

I suspect your real issue is that you didn't get the picture with Kittel, that's the truth isn't it, go on, you can admit it, jealously is ugly but okay.

Blimey, don't let Kaner see you using "your" when you should be using "you're" - that really will open a can of worms!

Joking aside, a poor response, you really should try harder.

comment was aimed at....who is the chump now...f*cktard!
...witty reply I think not...
were you a big bully at school, secretly a mummy's boy, but felt the need to show bravado...take a long hard look at your own stupidity before responding to someone else's replies...give it a rest (and stop liking your own posts)...and wasting forum space.

Oh dear, are you still up!?

Of course I read it you fool, I wrote it! His comment, very much like everything you write is pure twattery.

Of course I like my own posts, I write them.

Now, I've got things to do and I'm sure you've got sandals to polish and socks to iron so run along, there's a good lad.

Well, considering that Kittel doesn't seem to be that arsed or offended I'm not sure you can be on his side.

This really isn't a deal, he has had a snap at a potentially personal moment but is it any more personal a moment than Kittel losing himself in the moment and roaring out in exultation with a teary eye? It's not assault, he hasn't laid a finger on him, look at how other riders get mauled and pawed at as they pass at considerable speed, that's much much more invasive and offensive.

I'm sure the lad involved has blown his own arse out on a few times in training or he wouldn't be in development squad that he is, so if you want karma to come back and bite him on the arse then I can guarantee you that if he finds himself in a similar post race situation then it is nailed on that there is going to be a queue of teenage lads just waiting to rip the piss out of him. I can't tell by your username what your gender is but if you are male then you'll probably remember being a teenage male with other teenage males. We were fucking brutal. Awful pisstaking gobshites if truth be told.

The main crux of this story is giddiness, the lad got giddy and took a photo, then social media got giddy and wanted to crucify him for it.

Of all the things to get worked up by in the world this ranks even lower than Eurovision. Honestly it does. And I utterly despise Eurovision.

Its not a big deal.
