Cut from movie "Michael Collins" 1996.
The Dublin Gaelic football team was scheduled to play the Tipperary team later the same day in Croke Park, the Gaelic Athletic Association's major football ground. Despite the general unease in Dublin as news broke of the assassinations, a war-weary populace continued with life. About 5,000 spectators went to Croke Park for the Tipperary match, which began thirty minutes late, at 3:15 p.m.
Meanwhile, outside the park, unseen by the crowd, British forces were approaching and preparing to raid the match. A convoy of troops drove in from the northwest, along Clonliffe Road, while a convoy of police (including Auxiliaries and Black and Tans) approached the park from the south or canal end. Their orders were to surround the ground, guard the exits, and search every man in the park. The authorities later stated that their intention was to announce by megaphone that all males leaving the stadium would be searched and that anyone leaving by other means would be shot. However, for some reason, shots were fired as soon as the police convoy reached the stadium, at 3:25 pm.
Some of the police later claimed that they were fired on first by IRA sentries, but this has never been proved. Correspondents for the Manchester Guardian and Britain's Daily News interviewed eyewitnesses, and concluded that the "IRA sentries" were actually ticket-sellers:
It is the custom at this football ground for tickets to be sold outside the gates by recognised ticket-sellers, who would probably present the appearance of pickets, and would naturally run inside at the approach of a dozen military lorries. No man exposes himself needlessly in Ireland when a military lorry passes by.
The police in the convoy's leading cars appear to have jumped out, chased these men down the passage to the Canal End gate, forced their way through the turnstiles, and started firing rapidly with rifles and revolvers. Ireland's Freeman's Journal reported that,
The spectators were startled by a volley of shots fired from inside the turnstile entrances. Armed and uniformed men were seen entering the field, and immediately after the firing broke out scenes of the wildest confusion took place. The spectators made a rush for the far side of Croke Park and shots were fired over their heads and into the crowd.
The police kept shooting for about ninety seconds. Their commander, Major Mills, later admitted that his men were "excited and out of hand". Some police fired into the fleeing crowd from the pitch, while others, outside the park, opened fire from the Canal Bridge at spectators who climbed over the Canal End Wall trying to escape. At the other end of the park, soldiers on Clonliffe Road were startled first by the sound of the fusillade, then by the sight of panicked people fleeing the grounds. As the spectators streamed out, an armoured car on St James Avenue fired its machine guns over the heads of the crowd, trying to halt them.
By the time Major Mills got his men back under control, the police had fired 114 rounds of rifle ammunition, and an unknown amount of revolver ammunition as well, not counting fifty rounds fired from the machine guns in the armoured car outside the Park. Seven people had been shot to death, and five more had been shot and wounded so badly that they later died; another two people had been trampled to death in the stampede. The dead included Jane Boyle, who had gone to the match with her fiancé and was due to be married five days later, and two boys aged ten and eleven. Boyle was the only woman to die in either of that day's massacres. Two football players, Michael Hogan and Jim Egan, had been shot; Egan survived but Hogan was killed, the only player fatality. There were dozens of other wounded and injured. The police raiding party suffered no casualties.
Once the firing stopped, the security forces searched the remaining men in the crowd before letting them go. The military raiding party recovered one revolver: a local householder testified that a fleeing spectator had thrown it away in his garden. Once the grounds were cleared, the park was searched for arms, but, according to Major Mills, none were found.

this is All ways kill to Peace.
Why do the Brits seem to hate Sunday? All their massacres seem to happen then
Because they love a good blood bath, same story in American colonies during the revolution
@@jamesholcombe435 You were not there!!!!
@@JustinHH22 I do research on first person accounts, during the revolution banister Tarleton of the dragoons was notorious for killing civilians, well the colonist slaughtered his command at cowpens, they shouted Tarletons quarter as they massacred the Scots and dragoons, they chased him away since Tarleton couldn't handle it. It's what happens when tyrants like king George and Tarleton go unchecked.
@@jamesholcombe435 King George III wasn't a tyrant, he had a mental illness and went mad.
For Brits, unprovoked terrorism is their Sunday pastime.
People always complain about why the IRA formed during the time
Is it any fucking wonder?
How much do you wanna bet they started shooting cuz the Irish flag was waving nice and high?🍀🍀
*Irish Republican Flag
@@eshaansarkar2017 again my friend you seem very uneducated on the history of this country but the Irish republican flag was outlawed simply because the British did not agree with it further proving the point I made to you earlier that they were an oppressive empire
@@eshaansarkar2017 no Irish flag
The official Irish flag represents the peace between the Catholics and Protestants
The green is the Catholics
The white is the peace
And the orange is the Protestants
This is no way the IRA flag
Rather more the IRISH flag 🇮🇪
they thought they saw people running away so they shot at them, history is so fucking autistic

No wonder the IRA was formed.. Jesus
The ira was formed initially as the irb in and around the 1850s, bloody sunday here was in response to the ira assassinating key figures of the ric known as the cairo gang, i believe its been a while since i was in school.
the ira did the same thing as the black and tans except they used car bombs

the soldiers behind the guns following these orders... they must be a special breed of psychopaths. a year earlier to this incident, the british unapologetically carried out a massacre at a park in india (jalianwala bag massacre of 1919). They repeated this tactic the following year in ireland at croke park. Absolute monsters, the british.
That’s just racist
Black and tans released from UK jails to come over with a kill for free pass, the queens mercenaries, no wonder mountbatten drowned coz 2 legs got blown off, queens cousin. 55 years later. Revenge is a dish best served cold ☘
Absolutely horrible what they did

they are well known for it. They say they rule the waves and wave the rules. England are well known for it .

People should support Micheal Hogan all he wanted to do is have fun and now he's dead
That's a Hollywood version. The real version is different
Thats not what happened just saw the b100dy sunday like 5 mins ago but anyway he never kicked the ball over the tank
yeah, and michael hogan was the only player to die as well. in reality they sneaked in, then opened fire on the crowd and michael hogan got shot trying to hide
Playing to raise money for IRA prisoners....
That’s why they renamed it hogan stadium
interesting to note that this film was banned in Britain when it was released in the early 1990s!
the British government also wanted to ban the film Gandhi, but it won too many Oscars!
Both of those facts are completely untrue. Also the film wasn’t released in the early nineties, it was released in 1996.
And do you SERIOUSLY think the British government would have tried to ban Gandhi. A film produced and directed by an Englishman who sat in the House of Lords??
If you’re going to make up lies, at least make them moderately plausible.
My parents went to see this at the cinema in England when it came out. Stop lying
Liar. 🤡
Literally just untrue. Stop spreading misinformation PLEASE
And 67 dummies gave the comment a thumbs up, i swear theres a automated likes for anything that puts britain in a bad light, you never use to see all this anti british witch hunt a year ago, the thickos who do it are that stupid and cluesless that they dont realise britain is made up of 3 nations so then it turns to hatred to england only when a scotsman or welsh point this out... Pathetic really...
Same thing in Jalinwala Bagh massacre
It you makes you wonder what the death count would have been if they had the armoured car like in this clip.
Yes
My thoughts exactly.
@@walboyfredo6025There was no armoured car present on Croke Park that day. Bit of artistic licence by the director.
When an american tells me the royals are spawning a child or having a wedding remind them of this
I'm an American and I find our culture's fawning of the British royals nothing short of disgusting. We severed our ties with that outfit for a reason that our current decadence has apparently forgotten.
And you dare to call me a terrorist.....
And this is why the entire world agrees that Britain should never be in charge of anything ever again. The best they can hope for now is just being a mediocre satrapy of America.
China is the world superpower.
This clip is so out of context and just historically innacurate, it didnt actually go down like this. Also, Britain could obliterate the USA if they wanted to, but it would cost everything.
@@parstorm3460 Britain could obliterate America!? With what? It's bad culinary habits and recipes? It's inbred royal family? Its ill-founded hubris that can completely ignore its massive mediocrity?
Plz Upload jallianwalla Bagh Massacre plz
We Indians totally related to this it reminds us the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in Amritsar 1919.
Yes, we really taught you a lesson that day didn’t we.
I'll be damned 💔
Hello friend, nice video upload
If people knew the half of it 😢
God bless u for sharing ❤
*does this demented shit*
“Why does the IRA do this?”
The Croke Park massacre in this movie is reminiscent of the Amritsar massacre in Gandhi.
That armored vehicle resembles to what Mexican Cartels build and use known as Mounstros
They were used and developed by armies around the world in the 1900s before the reality of watch would become trench warfare in the 1910s came about.
They were used extensively in colonial empires for a bit.
And still no sanctions for Britain.
And if there is your about 102 years to late.
But not for long. thanks to the dup. Lol. United Ireland is very close 🇮🇪
@@patrickrooney5130close and yet so far
No live-streaming. No one in America even knew about this. Most governments at this time were likely even more brutal than this. It’s generally considered more horrible to Western eyes because it’s white people killing white people.. who both speak the same language (generally) and claim to worship the same God..
this type of thing was so common throughout most of human history.. we must thank Christ that we even have begun to see these things as the horrible crimes they are.. and always were.. no matter the National, people, culture, race, or religion….
@@Captain_hadley_49 Now that Starmer has revealed his cards, it's getting closer.
The armoured car bit is made up though.
It isn't it actually happened
@@gingerbread8834 I think he means the goal part not the car
What I read on Wikipedia, there was no armoured car.
@@eshaansarkar2017 Yeah they made up the armoured car part for the film. There was an armoured car outside the stadium on Clonliffe Road but it never went inside. All of the casualties were from rifle fire by the police.
@@fishypeixe The Black and Tans. British auxilliary forces.

I wanna what this british add to there tea!
do you speak english
I wanna make sense to your comment
*Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this and died*
i was so confius that tay attake the football mach like why
English would be handy mate
How is your spelling this bad
If I were there I would of just pretended to be dead on the pitch
Never understood why the military decided shooting up a football game
Reprisal for the killing of 15 detectives that morning.
@@High_rise12 say no meeting jallianwala bagh in 1919
Because the are good at killing unarmed people. That is what they do best. I wonder why we Irish people hate the British.
@High_rise12 the Nazis did the same thing.
So who exactly thought this was a good idea? There wasn’t somebody in the task force that said something along the lines of “hey maybe this is a really bad idea.“
I mean, seriously. No wonder the Irish still hold a grudge against Britain even today.
>drives onto field
>irish footballer keeps playing and makes goal
>shoots irish footballer for scoring while offsides
Why did the British hate the Irish
Because the Irish were rebelling during this time

What film is this from
Micheal Collins.
Michael Collins a very good underrated movie
@@seanohare5488Yea just watched it, excellent film
Didn't the bloody sunday took place during a protest? I didn't know it was during a football match
different bloody sunday
there where actually 2 bit in a terrible sense off irony both happened in Sunday.
Bloody Sunday was all so in derry.
There was 4 bloody Sundays in the 20th century, the one you are thinking of was the Bloody Sunday in Derry against the civil rights protest, the Protesters began to throw things at the soldiers who blocked them, then the soldiers opened fire against them, I think they thought there was an IRA sniper, and I think they thought the protesters shot at them but it was their lieutenant.
There's multiple Bloody Sunday's. The one you're referring to is the North Ireland one in Derry, where British soldiers fired upon a protest. The only other one i can think of is the Russian one, where troops from the Russian Empire opened fire on a peaceful protesting priest who was trying to deliver a petition to the Russian Tsar.
Same MO as the Amritsar massacre in India 🇮🇳 during the same era (1919) the machine gunning of masses of innocents by the British military and militias
Dyer prevented an uprising.
"how did you lose the camp? oh we attacked croke park so ira attacked us"
The IRA fired first, like in 1972.
@@JamesRichards-mj9kwIRA weren't involved in 1972 you donut. It was a peaceful protest. Autopsies show that everyone was shot in the back (while running away) anyway.

@@Scoil_Ming_gan_trocaire you’re welcome!
Well, they portrayed a lot of things wrong here. There was no armoured car but something like a vehicle. There was also a controversy that someone from the crowd had fired at the soldiers first.
The Brits shouldn't have occupied the island of Ireland first!
@@pulchralutetia well, I still am in a doubt about which side I should choose. I would have easily chosen the IRA if they hadn't participated in the so called 'Troubles'. They created a lot o controversy that they were the ones who fired to the soldiers first from the crowd. They also participated in a lot of meaningless assassinations. This makes them too sides of the same coin. Apart from the Easter Rising, almost everything which happened during the Independence War was all about some assanisations and casualties on both sides. This was nothing more than terrorism. So, the chaos which was created in Ireland was their fault too. They were part of the problem too.
@@eshaansarkar2017 The IRA of the Troubles is not the same organization as the IRA of the 1920s. They dissolved in 1922 after the war of independence. Another group calling themselves the IRA formed during the Irish Civil War which lasted until the late 60s and they split up into separate organizations like the Provisional IRA, The Real IRA, The Official IRA and the Continuity IRA which are the groups from the Troubles.
yeah sure they fire from the crowd because that makes so much sense lmfao...
