The "Irish Matches on VHS (video tapes) Project"

[theworm2345]

Here is Mick McCarthy's testimonial, played on May 26, 1996. It was played between a Republic of Ireland XI and Celtic.

If nothing else watch at least the first half of the 2nd half, you will not be let down :D:cool:

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=294e02e45f7722fcd5a101cf914073b4680b8add 3e51148b

It appears part of the latter part of the 1st half if missing, I can't really tell as theres no game clock.

[theworm2345]

Here are highlights, some brief, some extended of Irish football matches over the summer of 1996. Everyone knows of Stuttgart '88, Giants Stadium '94, and Lansdowne '01 but a match that was just as important was played in May of 1996, watch the first minute of this vid to find out why this match was such a monumental one in Irish history :D.

Includes highlights of Ireland vs Portugal, Netherlands, Croatia, and in the U.S. Cup (vs USA, Mexico, and Bolivia)

The highlights of the Mexico match are terrible quality but the highlights from this match are available on YouTube here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD8gvdWQIl4).

Some great stuff in this thread. I'm just watching the Ireland/Holland playoff match from 1995. I would love to see the following matches uploaded:

Northern Ireland vs. Ireland, Nov 1993
Ireland vs. Holland, September 2001
Both legs of the Iran playoff from October or November 2001.

Thanks again Worm.

The Greatest Irish Football Team

Jack Charlton and Sammy McIlroy pick their all time Irish XI's, comprised of players from both the Republic and the North. Presented by Jim Beglin.

Unfortunately the tape did not have the Goalkeepers or Defense on it so you don't get clips of those players but you do get get to see who they picked.

Barry Thornton who I don't think ever went on to play at a high level



He played for Coventry and then went to Pats for a brief and unsucessful spell I think. I'd like to chime in my appreciation for putting the stuff up :)

Nope, as a matter a fact I only have one more vid, which is "They Call Him God" about Paul McGrath and I'll upload that sometime in the next week.

[Colbert Report]

I've got a tape of the Germany and Cameroon matches in the 2002 World Cup, let me know if sending them would help, I'm not sure how widely available these matches are online.

I've got both on DVD so I could upload them with ease. Thanks anyway though.

[theworm2345]

Unfortunately it appears that the audio on They Called Him God is messed up (Part 1 works, but the rest just sounds like static), so I don't think I'll upload it. Also unfortunately, thats all the tapes I have, so if anyone has more, please send them on so I can share them here.

[bennocelt]

going to prague next week -so when i come back ..............:)

OK, thanks, enjoy your holiday

[slow2anger]

You will be glad to know I have finally got round to start converting my video's/DVD's into up/downloadable files. Like worm I am using mediafire.

At the moment I am starting with the WC2006 qualifiers. Some of them are uploading at the moment and I will post again when they are available.

[theworm2345]

Thanks slow2anger, though I must say I can go without seeing the Israel game again :(. I believe France at Lansdowne was the first ever non-World Cup match for Ireland I ever saw live on TV, would be great to see it again.

Would just like to bump up this thread in case anyone might have DVDs or VHSs of any of past playoffs to get the mood going for the upcoming one.

Got the whole summer to upload stuff...anyone got any tapes?

I went through a faze of taping Irish games from 1989 th 1994/5 ish. Left them all in a cupboard over the fireplace in Limerick, there were plenty, qualifying games mostly. I will ask if they are still there, they may not be. My mother can be a ruthless and merciless cleaner, for example a patchwork quilt, hand made by my grandmother for my bed was sent to the Afghan earthquake victims. But I will see. This era any good?

Nah nothing much happened in that era, don't worry about it.

Honestly though, that would be great if they do still exist. I'll pay shipping of course. Thanks for the offer.

I know it was a good era, just thought you may have it already, or most of it.

I will ask the question and let you know if they havent been incinerated.

I know you know, I was just joking around. Actually, aside from the WC matches I don't think there are any matches in this thread from that era, so yeah it would be great. Please keep me updated on the status of the tapes...again its much appreciated.

You need to be more specific. Did you download all the parts? If so, did you unpack the AVI file from the RAR files? If so, what software are you trying to use to play it?

[the doc]

You need to be more specific. Did you download all the parts? If so, did you unpack the AVI file from the RAR files? If so, what software are you trying to use to play it?

How do you do that?

[theworm2345]

How do you do that?
You need to download WinRAR to unpack them
http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html

Once thats installed just right-click on the first part and click Extract All.

Did you download WinRAR and follow my instructions?

I did but it still wouldnt work, maybe I've done something wrong when downloading the files.

[Royal rover]

boys it's a little off topic there's some brillant stuff here already but does anyone know where i could get a copy of the Rod Squad, it's purely for comedy purposes thanks

[theworm2345]

I did but it still wouldnt work, maybe I've done something wrong when downloading the files.
Highlight all of the files, right click on it, and click properties. If the size is any less than 1.4-1.5 GBs then you probably didn't completely download each file. If thats the case you'd have to click on each file, open properties and makes sure each is 200 MBs (except the last one which is 99 MBs) and if not redownload that file.

Never heard of it, sounds like it could be a gay porno though

who has 5500 uploads, all of which seem to be 1-2 minute highlights of games. Find an Irish one like Ireland 1 - 0 Portugal in 1995 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kd6D-OIbB0&feature=related), and just look at the videos linked at the side.
