What an absolute tool. How can someone in this day and age get behind the wheel of a car drunk? No reports on the condition of the cyclist but hopefully they aren't in critical condition or worse. This should be enough for him to see time and rightfully so and will more than likely end his career. I've zero sympathy for scumbags like this as I know a person killed by a drink driver and the effects if can have on everyone around them once they are gone.

If it's true this is what he did I just can't fathom it. Surely one of his drinking buddies would have told him to get a taxi, it's not like he can't afford one.

Hope the cyclists is ok.. getting into a 500bhp gtr with booze and wrecking it is as much a crime . Gob****

The ads at the side keep getting in the way. Can anyone recommend a decent ad blocker?

He won't see time.

He'll get a fine and be disqualified from driving for at least a year. He'll have fun trying to get anything insured in future.

The amount of drink driving in Ireland is unreal. Particular in rural communities. Used to work in an unnamed hospital for a short amount of time. One of the consultants would take us out for drinks and then one or two employees would drive home locked.

It genuinely isn't.

We seem to have a habit of exporting our scumbags in this country.

Really? I would be of the opposite opinion. In the places where I drink, if someone advertised the fact that they were about to drive home after a few they would not be allowed to do so. I have actually seen lads being restrained and their keys taken off them.

It is nearly social suicide to admit to drinking and driving regularly. Compared to my experience in other countries, I would put Ireland on the lower end of the scale when it comes to drink driving. North America is particularly bad for it. A lot of Americans think nothing of having a few pints and driving home.

Hopefully he's a pal of Mick Galwey's and he gets away scot free.

Will be no problem at all getting things insured for him. He has the money.

The 27-year-old midfielder was reportedly driving a black Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo luxury sports car when it is claimed he hit the bike near his home in Altrincham, Cheshire, on Sunday night.
