If you guys have been enjoying this series so far help us out by leaving a like and sharing around. We're really enjoying covering these stories, all taken from Benjamin Roberts' book 'Gunshots & Goalposts'
uMAXit Football do Dundalk FC
Guys Derry won a treble in 89 not a double,
Great job Joe
It’s nice to see people talking about Northern Ireland’s difficult past. But for the record Tifo, it’s pronounced ‘Balla-Mee-Na’
It’s a big shopping center in Ballymeana hoy!!!!!
Any chance you could do one on Dundalk's incredible run in the Europa League last year, or Shamrock Rover's in 2011? Massive achievements for very small clubs in comparison to their competition. Or even the time Bobby Charlton played for Waterford United, or Sam Allardyces time at Limerick FC, the first club he managed!
4-2 😂😂😂 cup specialists what?
O. O just won it pal, haha😂
I love this new series! Well done lads, keep 'em coming!
We've enjoyed making it. Thank you!
I'm an Irishman and I love this series thanks guys
David Burke North or South???? And Also Are You, Protestant Or Catholic?????????
@@liamb5546 He should have to answer the northern question though
@@johnwayne3923 only 1 million people are prods in Ireland, out of 6.9 million
Just seen the BBC documentary the other night about Derry City. What a fascinating story.
My dad played for Derry in the early 60s. Ironically he can recall playing up in Belfast where the team would get lots of sectarian abuse from Linfield, which they could never understand because most of the players were protestants and so were a majority of the fans. It should be remembered that back then that there were several factors around the club that made it very different to the modern team and city. The west bank of the City was still around 35% unionist, about 25,000 people and they made up the majority of the club's support and players. Although the majority of the City board were Nationalists. Nationalists themselves had grown up knowing that even attending a Soccer match could get you banned from playing or attending GAA sports and although most of these rules had been relaxed, that ethos and an underlying feeling that Soccer was a unionist sport, still meant City only had a small following among Nationalists. Bear in mind their average home gate was still only around 2,500 people most Saturdays, not the tens of thousands often suggested by those with faded memories. The only games that drew big crowds were the visits of Linfield and Belfast Celtic. The latter had gone by the 50s when Linfield's visits drew between 5-10,000 but other games much less. As many Derry men in the ground would turn up to support the Blues rather than the home side. Even today more fans leave the Waterside to watch Linfield than watch the local team, Institute. As a kid in the 50s, my dad could recall how the sectarian divide operated at the Brandywell. On leaving a Derry game he noticed the greyhounds arriving and on finding out there would be racing, he asked his dad if they could stay. The reply was short and direct "Prods watch Football, RCs watch dogs" [the phrasing was less politically correct of course] The advent of the troubles was a disaster for the Irish League club in many ways. their own fanbase didn't feel safe going to the Brandywell and attendances plummeted. Few in the Bogside of 1970 cared about a prod team on their doorstep and few prods were willing to go to the Brandywell so Derry City were left largely friendless. At first the club sought to migrate to the Waterside, a move that a staggering 98% of the unionist population made between 1972-1984, dropping from 24,000 to just 500 in that time. Within a few years the few unionists involved in the club had given up and drifted away although by 1979 the ambition was still to rejoin the Irish League.
GAA has never been popular in Derry city though so I don't know why they would have cared about being banned from the GAA, there only really is one strong club in the city compared to Belfast which has numerous.
Does it dad know owen dagama
Coz his my dad
Ulster Groundhopper. Thanks for your informative comment. My mother was Irish from Tyrone her dad from Donegal. We live and make do and hopefully learn. As I.have from you. Thanks friend.
Back in the days when there was Protestants on the west Bank of the Foyle.
Absolutely fantastic comment.
Brilliant video mate, only thing I'd point out is we actually won the treble in 1989. We remain the only team to do so in Ireland to date.
The Ulster banner isn't the official flag of Northern Ireland, It is a silly flag using an old Catholic Gaelic red hand symbol as some sort of British loyalist symbol. The red hand was a famous anti Englsh symbol during the Elizabethan wars in Ireland, now unionists use it to show how British they are.
Its not a silly flag at all. Its the 9 counties of ulster flag . Represents the o neill chieftains.
@@ciaran6309 wrong, the flag of the 9 counties is yellow not white. Unionists have hijacked ancient Irish symbols because they have no culture of their own.
@@EazyElives yes your right sorry its a yellow background.
@@EazyElives AINT THAT THE TRUTH!
ciaran delaney
I believe the actual shade of yellow is known as saffron.
The way u pronounced ballymena😂😂😂😂 bally-meena its prounced
Great vid tho
I'm from Northern Ireland and I love these videos, Keep them coming!
Enjoyed this lads, well done
Brilliant series. Keep up the good work
Love my team with history 🔴⚪🔴⚪
This series looks good.Gives a feeling of nostalgia.
Cheers from India #u-17WC
Loving the series so far...keep 'em coming :)
The Red Hand is an Ancient Gaelic symbol and Emblem of Clan O'Neill. It's not a Unionist Protestant symbol. Other than that, Great video.
The first time I ever went to the Brandy was way back in the early '60s when I was 7 years old. My Da had to lift me over the turnstile on the instruction of the guy on the job. I was a regular in later years. Big games included the IFA Cup tie against Linfield in the mid to late 60s. DC raced into a two goal lead but two goals from Linfield levelled the match. As far as I recall Linfield had 3 'goals' disallowed that day. Also the Cup Winners cup tie with Steau Bucharest in 65. DC lost that tie 0-5 on aggregate.
It wasn't September 1972 that Damien Harkin was murdered by British soldiers it was actually July 1971..
I really like this series keep it up?
Can u do a video explaining co-efficientcy please .
Could you talk about the proposal of an All island league in Ireland?
Would love to see you guys do a video about Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers two of the most successful teams in the Republic of Ireland
Yeah you left out Shels who had that great European run in the early 2000's
@@dubShels little ol Shels 😏
Please make a video about Brazil's 2006 Magic Square, with 3 Ballon d'or awarded players, and why it failed!
Guilherme Coelho it failed due to the brilliance of a Frenchman playing in his last official tournament.
As well as Roberto Carlos deciding to completely switch off during a free kick.
Great video, what is the software your using for the animated video ? Would like to give it a try
Speakerboxxx _ I think it's called either Videoscribe or Sparkol, I have used it before, it's very good!
Well done on the accuracy of making the Orangemen fat and bald.
Your attempt to say Ballymena made me laugh...but good video bro
Andrew J. Stewart Cringed both times, but the video is very well done
Dean Irwin hahaaha
Quite interesting, as a Coleraine fan, I never knew that they played their home games down at The Showgrounds!
I hate soccer, but love you videos.
It’s fucking Derry
Change my mind
The best team ever proud derry man
“Low Level!?” Are you mad?
The brandywell has just been done up 2 weeks ago
People who live near the Foyle 💪
Derry won the treble in 1989
Can you guys try to do a video on corruption in European football? Serbia is supposed to be a bad spot for it, both in the past and presently.
Sheepy99 have you seen our ‘Meet The Owners’ series?
I'll be sure to check it out thanks guys :)
Is the same gonna happen to Barça?
Barcelona should join the EPL
I don't think they would join EPL. IMO they will create their own league so to represent in both UEFA and FIFA games. Also they will start from bottom if they join any other league, so it is highly unlikely.
Derry City did no die then??
Yes they "left" not died.
We haven’t had easy
Derry? You'll float too🎈
At least ye know the difference between North and South.
Do hashtag united vs tekkers town tactics plz
