There’s something deeply insecure about people (morons) who make up fake stories like this for clicks. 👇 – at Ballynahinch, Northern Ireland
🚨🎙️ Harry Kane on his altercation with Kylian Mbappé after winning the Ballon d’Or.
Reporter: We saw you having a moment with Mbappé after the ceremony. What was that about?
Harry Kane: Honestly, after receiving my award, everyone was congratulating me, so I thought he was coming to congratulate me too. But instead, he said something I found really unprofessional, and I felt disappointed because Mbappé is someone I respect a lot. I never expected that from him, especially at a moment that was supposed to be about celebrating the achievement.
Reporter: What exactly did he say to you?
Harry Kane: He looked at me and said, “Congratulations on stealing my award.”
I was shocked. I looked at him like, how can you say that to me? I’m not the one who voted for myself. I worked hard throughout the season, and the voters made their decision. I was angry, but I tried to remain professional.
Then he said, “You had a great season, but everyone knows I’m the rightful winner of this award.” That’s when I really lost my patience. Honestly, I don’t even know if I said something I shouldn’t have, but I wasn’t going to stand there and let him disrespect me.
Reporter: What did you say in response?
Harry Kane: I told him to shut up and move on because if there’s anyone who should be disappointed, it’s Lamine Yamal, not him. Lamine had an incredible season, won the most prestigious trophy in international football, and still came to congratulate me with respect. He had every reason to feel disappointed, yet he showed class.
So why are you standing here complaining? Are you seriously going to cry because you didn’t win?
What made me even angrier was that I genuinely respect Mbappé, but respect has to go both ways. I don’t feel proud of how that moment unfolded because I respect him as a player, but that doesn’t mean I’ll accept being disrespected by him.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The quotes attributed to Harry Kane about an altercation with Kylian Mbappé are fabricated. Kane won the 2026 Ballon d'Or; Mbappé finished second with only a minor visual interaction reported and no verbal exchange.

Agree with your sentiments, but why don’t you talk privately to Gavin and share your thoughts rather than grandstanding on social media? – at Ballynahinch, Northern Ireland

Why do the BBC persist in making idiots out of themselves by reporting that these protests are mainly peaceful with accompanying videos of violence and riots? We can see with our own eyes that they are far from peaceful! – at Ballynahinch, Northern Ireland

Oh, look, this Hamas-supporting comedian, who takes great pleasure in the cancellation of others, is in trouble for making a hack rape joke bbc.com/news/articles/c6m2dw…

That is a disappointing response and you are better than that. You could simply say what you mean rather than imply it. I’m not sure how you define a ‘regular’ commentator, but if you’re suggesting that my contributions are biased, have the courage to say so explicitly. That would at least allow me to challenge the accusation properly, rather than respond to insinuation.
Absolute rubbish. Where’s your evidence that “only one side” listens to Nolan? I know many people from both sides who listen every single day. You’ve always had a strange obsession with Nolan which appears to have clouded your sense of reality. – at Ballynahinch, Northern Ireland
I have complained to the BBC and received a response from the shows producer. I have explained how Rajar works. As for the volume of listeners that is meaningless if they are mainly from one community in NI. But you’re happy with it Jim, and I wouldn’t dare suggest that it’s because you’re a regular contributor…
This woman is not elected to any forum in Northern Ireland (the frightened looking man behind her is). Does this not explain in one picture the Sinn Fein cult? – at Ballynahinch, Northern Ireland
Still going strong at 41, incredible! But Ten Hag implies that you, the GOAT, were lazy. Maybe Ten Hag needs to look in the mirror before blaming others for his failures. – at Ballynahinch, Northern Ireland

👏🏻 Massive reception as hundreds pack the Montalto Estate for the launch of Sinn Féin Strangford candidate Chris Hazzard’s election campaign.
With new areas coming into Strangford for the first time in the Assembly election next year, Sinn Féin is now in pole position to win a seat.

You can change that next May.
You can elect the first Sinn Féin MLA ever in Strangford.
You can elect Chris Hazzard.
