A so many memories. I was in the Kestrel that day (Im from Walkinstown myself) and remember that Walkinstown roundabout party very well. Someone got hold of a ball and it ended up a 50-a-side on the roundabout between the kestrel and the cherry tree. Party went on for HOURS.
Best video I've seen in a while. Love the old sierra Garda car, the old jerseys, luminous shorts and the fact that a video camera was so rare that everyone reacts to it!! Brilliant!!
I was 9 the day Bonner saved that penalty. Was the only day i have ever seen my Da cry. He told me never to forget today as we would never see it again. We celebrated like e had won the world cup. I still cry everytime i watch bonner saving that penaly and o leary burstin the net with his. Im just glad i was old enough to experience it, thank you so much for uploading this!!!
It just doesnt get more Dublin then this, aul starlets and corollas, transit vans and kadetts, perms and sizzlers from dunnes, I loved Dublin so much back then.
I know it's 1990 but for some reason the cars look ancient to me!! I was 11 during this, I will never forget it. Probably the best moment in Irish football history. We were such a good footballing team at that time.
1990. Back when most people had nothing. yet we still have more today. but back then we needed nothing to have happiness. Irelands triumphs at Italia 90 set us up for a decade !!!
Ireland was a better happier place then, before feminism, abortion, divorce. People had nothing, your friends and neighbours were everything. Now that you can kill babies here, that magic Ireland can never come back.
The one and only time I ever gave a toss about football. This brings back great memories. Got caught in a pub by one of the managers of Fotoking during one match. "What are you doing here?" he asked. Knowing I was caught rapid, I just said "I'm sick". He looked me up and down (head-to-toe green) smiled, and said "So am I. If you say nothing I'll say nothing!" I pity anyone who actually went to Italy, they missed one hell of a party! :¬)
Brilliant video. I was 16 when this happened. Was in the harp bar in town for the match. When we won i remember o connell after the match. I will never forget the joy and happiness on everyone's faces. Absolutely amazing. Very sad to see Dublin nowadays. Lost all it's character and charm. We will never see the likes of old Dublin again.
Love love love this video! Wish I could have been there during that time. I'd be willing to bet my dear Irish friend Gerry McGuiness was there during this celebration. We met back in 2001 strangely enough at the Kestrel House Pub. Spent many a night there during my stay. Good times, great memories, dear friend!
Brilliant! I was living in London by then so missed all the craic at home. Had I been at home I would have watched the game in the Laurels, at the other end of St.Peter's Road, I watched all the quali's there.....
@kevinjryan true, The camera was a shoulder mounted Sony. Looked more like a TV cam. Pity about my cam skills at the time. :D It was the first time to use it.
My bro is in here somewhere. The old Kestral was a much nicer pub and I went out with a girl who worked for a while in that corner shop attached to it. Walko was a happy place in 90
Thanks for sharing this one. It's going around facebook like wildfire!! The clothes, the hair, the cars, the busses, the athmosphere, the... memories! (,")
this is great, i live in one of the houses just off the roundabout, and cant believe that spar was there in 1990....everything looks so differant, pity the kestrel wasnt still open :(
I remember it like yesterday. .The whole country went mad for a month. .It was brilliant. . Everyone was in great form. .The atmosphere around the place was amazing. .great times wasn't it. ..
Remember it well. I wasn't at the roundabout but rode past the Submarine Bar on my motorbike. It was the same crazyiness. My horn button broke off just at that moment and all I could do was wave to everyone
wabblum99 ireland was more of a big village back in those days. No one had very much but there was a very strong all in it together sense of comraderee
@@Daithi333 well, you did a fantastic job...captured the atmosphere perfect....remember the time as if it was only yesterday...saw grown, hard men crying openly in the Cherry Tree lounge when we were kicked out of the world cup
@clydebear I remember that day well... there was hardly and traffic on the roads. Most people were in bars watching the match. I had to walk to three bars before getting into one as they were all full...
I'll check that. I could have sworn I met him in the Spar to return bad oranges. I remember this cheeky guy like him who told me to thrown them back and take new ones.
@@jonathandowling7311 Using the race card is silly and ridiculous at this stage, nothing wrong with wanting to remain the majority in Ireland, just like any other country wants the same, it is common sense. Do you want Irish to be a minority in Ireland? I think you do with a statement like that, that makes you anti Irish and racist against your own people then so. Every ethnic group is entitled to a homeland, and Ireland is the homeland of Irish people. Just like China is for Chinese, Nigeria is for Nigerian etc. Ireland doesn't even feel Irish anymore, you probably think our culture, identity and history has not been eradicated either, how you cannot see, how Ireland is no longer Ireland is worrying.
I remember it well i was out in Malahide with all the lads. These were great days we would definetly not get that today!! We expect too much and moan! Yes Bonner saved the penno but O Leary still had to score after that.!!!
I'm 22 and i've always said i would have rathered growing up in the 60/70. Your right our generation sucks balls, the auld walkinstown roundabout still looks the exact same doe ha
Great scenes but wait, where are the blacks, Asians, Polish, Romanians, Brazillians, Mexicans, etc. not to mention smartphone zombies? Obviously without this multi-culture experience people back then were missing out. Imagine, only Irish in Ireland and all speaking the one language?! Thank god our politicians have brought us out of those dark times! .... By the way, I'm being sarcastic in case there was any doubt!!
lol you would know this was 1990 the girls wearing them bagging arse jeans with white shirts tucked into them, and the state of the cars ! opel kadetts
Being Irish I have always rejected Irish nationalism, To me that represents a Glorifying of violence that the Irish people completely reject, I was 17 at this time and this seemed like a positive Nationalism, No IRA songs or Ballads, Just positivity,
thats class as already siad ireland will never be the same again! to much missery here now with the reccesion green nerds ect.. this country has become to safety upsessed as well! hence speed camera vans everywere dull boring cars with 20 airbags in only 3 colours grey black and white! people could smoke in pubs they could have a couple of pints and drive home ect.. and thats why this country is so dull know! if that lad had done the same with the ladder today he would be locked up!

That's actually deadly! Hahaha Both caught on the Skivy but sure, it was for an important cause! Wouldn't find a manager like that anymore!

Auh
What a day, I'm from walkinstown myself, love seeing this. Thursday August 10th 2023
Days of innocence. How lovely
30 years later and were still life in your hands , winging it around that fucking thing
Thanks for everything, Jack. RIP, Big Man.
I'd say Bimbo's Burgers made a fortune after that
Ireland .. Golden days. I hope well see it all again soon
Shush
If you only knew...
There was an atmosphere in the country that hadn't been seen ever before or since. . It was a great time
My mother grew up and lived just down the road from that very roundabout, she told me she was celebrating but i can’t spot her in the video :P
Love love love this video! Wish I could have been there during that time. I'd be willing to bet my dear Irish friend Gerry McGuiness was there during this celebration.

Daithi333 it's mental to see this, I was 7 months old and living down the greenhills road not knowing why everyone was shouting 😂
My bro is in here somewhere. The old Kestral was a much nicer pub and I went out with a girl who worked for a while in that corner shop attached to it. Walko was a happy place in 90

I think Michael O'Leary (Ryan Air) was manager of the spar beside the cherry tree around that time.
WTF??
21 years on. its still a crazy roundabout to manouvre. Bring on EURO 2012
Class!! It was like that in Belfast too!! Still can see Bonnar diving across to his right to stop timofteis penalty. Brings a tear
this is great, i live in one of the houses just off the roundabout, and cant believe that spar was there in 1990....everything looks so differant, pity the kestrel wasnt still open :(
This might be my favorite video of all time.
I remember it like yesterday. .The whole country went mad for a month. .It was brilliant. . Everyone was in great form. .The atmosphere around the place was amazing. .great times wasn't it. ..
I was 17 then...and what a time to be alive it was outrageous....never celebrated like that ever again
Back when everyone wasn't afraid of their own shadow. Great times
Remember it well. I wasn't at the roundabout but rode past the Submarine Bar on my motorbike. It was the same crazyiness. My horn button broke off just at that moment and all I could do was wave to everyone
Nothing worse than been let down by a horn! BEEP BEEP.
that roundabout is the bane of my life
The most amazing thing is the relative lack of traffic at the roundabout compared to these days !!
Everyone was just finished watching the match. It would normally have been busier
The best people and football fans in the world.
jesus looks like some craic you certainly wouldnt get that these days
wabblum99 ireland was more of a big village back in those days. No one had very much but there was a very strong all in it together sense of comraderee
I think youl find you would 🤣🤣
Luke Scanlan lol yeah like today! relived & reloaded for Big Jack (RIP) olé olé olé
@@otoolepw great idea,an irish send off
@@mfitzy100 When Ireland was Ireland!! Happier times.
TO YOU ALL, Mick OLeary bought Perrys Newsagents next door to the Cherrier, sold it within 3years!
its great to see everyone so happy again
Watched the pen shoot out in Pub in Balinteer . Was only 12 . We went into O connell st that night.Dublin went bananas. Live with me forever.
There must be more video cause this went on all night
Hard to imagine the Irish getting that excited about anything today. I was in Genoa for that game.
Some day hope we get this far again in a world cup
How has this only received 160k views? It documents a lost past and should be required viewing.
It actually has millions of views as it was downloaded and copied to other platforms.
@@Daithi333 shut your mouth
Michael o' leary was in desmonds beside the kestrel house.
I love the guy who was hanging off the yellow van. Class. Great memories
Never forget that day... best day ever... just seen my head in that video and lots of other i know...The good oul days...:-)
GREAT VIDEO!!
Thanks for posting made me smile.
If there was one day I could go back in time to, it would be this one.
Beautiful
If they ever invent time travel I’m going back to that day
2.17 that young kid on the bike was the only one to yield that day giving right of way. I bet he now posseses a full clean drivers license ;-)
No camera on phones in those days, whoever filmed it used a camcorder...remember them
Shoulder mounted Sony camera.
@@Daithi333 well, you did a fantastic job...captured the atmosphere perfect....remember the time as if it was only yesterday...saw grown, hard men crying openly in the Cherry Tree lounge when we were kicked out of the world cup
Those were the days my friend...those were the days my friend!!!
how i wish this summer could be the same....
Nice green Opel Record there at the start.... Good times
I love this country.
3:42 glorious bermuda shorts!!!
No its not. Where are you getting this from?
A dangerous place to be driving at any time
@clydebear I remember that day well... there was hardly and traffic on the roads. Most people were in bars watching the match. I had to walk to three bars before getting into one as they were all full...
Wish I was born back then
fair play top video, i predict 100k + views
This was brilliant but I thought it was my connection that it was so jumpy???
RIP BIG JACK
Wow ...never seen so many bangers in me life ...good o'l times though
I'll check that. I could have sworn I met him in the Spar to return bad oranges. I remember this cheeky guy like him who told me to thrown them back and take new ones.
I'm just surprised there were camcorders back then!haha
When Ireland was Ireland. The memories of community spirit before our culture and identity was eradicated.
Didn't take long before a racist showed up here. That's a big difference between 1990 and 2020, lot more racists now.
