  • Bloody Sunday, also known as The Croke Park Massacre, occurred on November 21, 1920, during the Irish War of Independence. It was a tragic event in the context of the conflict between Irish republicans seeking independence from British rule and the British authorities, particularly the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) and the paramilitary group known as the Black and Tans. I react to that sad incident in this video.

    You should watch the anthems Ireland V England 2007 rugby six nations game, where it was played in the same stadium. 1st time the english national anthem was allowed to be played in our home of Irish sports, Croke Park, the trepidation that led up to this game, the concerns we all had and the immense pride we felt on that dau, will be forever etched in our hearts. The anthems were powerful!

    we had three Bloody-Sundays in the 20th century 1913 when the Dublin Metropolitan Police bato-charged pedestrians on Sackville St afterJim Larkin a trade union leader attempted to make a speech, ironically the dead and injured that day just happpened to be on the street.. No audience was organised the speech was merely to embarass the employers leader who owned the hotel, when Larkin appeared at the balcony, the police charged. The second 1920,was described in the video. the third 1972 in Derry. Hopefully there will not be another.

    Mr giant. I just want to say one ting to you. Im Irish. Im sure you know that. I lived in England for ten years. In the ladt tree years i worked for a man from st Lucia. He was the best man i ever worked for in England. He didn't pay so good but he provided fringe benefits. We wont talk about that here. Moreover i respected him and he respected me. I could blow up at him when i felt i had to and he would try to address the problem. We were very close i felt. Not just employer employee . I miss him quite a lot. Vince Gordon was his name. Thankyou

      @@vcrossCelticfc the three minute sequence of the Croke Park Massacre was litttered with inaccuracies though and Neil Jordan, the director, took so much creative license to bring that to the screen which he freely admitted to when the movie first came out...the reality of what really happened that fateful, tragic day was much more horrific...an excerpt from a rare interview on the South Bank Show with Melvyn Bragg & Neil Jordan in 1996..........................................................................................................................................................................................Bragg: 'A lot of people will say, in Croke Park, where the football game was played, the British did not come in with tanks. There were soldiers who climbed ladders and dropped into the park. So, why introduce tanks?
      Jordan: Well, it wasn't a tank. It was an armoured vehicle.
      Bragg: Looks a bit like a tank, though.
      Jordan: Well, it's basically a machine gun with a kind of protective saucepan around the top. But they did drive their own vehicles. They would've had protective vehicles like that there. What they did was kind of worse in a way. They scaled the walls and locked all the exits and kept the people in there for the best part of the day. They were firing and picking them off for an entire day. So, the reality would have been probably more terrifying.
      Bragg: Yes.
      Jordan: The reason I did it really was because I wanted the scene to last 30 seconds. I also wanted the spectators and football pitch to treat the possibility of violence with incredulity at the start. So, when the thing breaks through, that little tin pot vehicle looks ridiculous. The player kicks a ball over the top of it and scores and the entire football ground bursts into laughter... The rhythm of that war that Collins fought was every action by the Volunteers would give rise to a grossly inflated reaction by the British forces. Whereupon Collins would have a wider ground and wider support and then strike in another way. The rhythm of the conflict was one of escalation and I just tried to mirror that in the presentation of that conflict in the film.'

    In relation to this event in particular it has become part of the psyche/lore of Dublin in general and Croke Park in particular and has evolved into the traditional area of dublin supporters whenever a match involving the dublin team is involved.

    There are many incidents called Bloody Sunday, but I think the first one was in Russia in 1905. A protest by workers to reduce the working day and increase wages was met with fire by the Tsarist police. This led to the beginning of the Russian Revolution of 1905-1907 and to a large extent to the actual Russian Revolution of 1917.
