Ireland on YouTube

Italy 0 - 1 Ireland (World Cup 1994):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq_Av65L4R0

Has anyone got any RTÉ footage of the immediate build-up to that game and the teams coming out? That rendition of 'Amhrán na bhFiann' sounded pretty special. Even Townsend looks like he's holding back a tear. I've only ever seen ESPN footage lately with awful commentary* and they spend the anthems (muted in the background) going through the team line-ups. :rolleyes:

*The infamous "It's a chipper!"/"Roy Houghton of Aston Villa..."/"And once again, England go with the long-ball" commentary.

Individual match segments of the other Euro '88 games I've taken out of 'The Charlton Years'...

Thanks for posting them. An emotinal Aldridge in that last clip, dont recall seeing that interview before.

Win or Lose, we've had some unbelievable times following Ireland. Despite losing that playoff at Anfield, it still goes down as one of my all time favourite memories following the B.I.G.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but came across complete match footage of the game against England at Wembley in 1991:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h04u7guwxBg&NR=1

The first five minutes or so are missing, but the rest is there in the recommended links, including half-time analysis from Des Lynam, Terry Venables and Jimmy Hill, until an interview at the end with Graham Taylor.

I dug out a few more random clips. Friendlies from 1992 and 1994 this time.

I have the full game Danny but the anthem is ruined by the band playing way too slowly and the fans are finished singing a good 20 seconds before the band catch up.

The full recording is 2 hours so not ideal for youtube - do you just want the build-up to the match?

looking for some help - anyone have footage of Cascarino's goal against England at Lansdowne Road? I believe it was in 1990. David Platt scored the opener for England with Cascarino scoring with his noggin for a change in a 1-1 draw. .

Its not on youtube or here from what i can see... Any help mucho appreciated...

Yeah, just the build-up to kick-off would be brilliant if that wouldn't be too much hassle, cheers. I've re-watched the ESPN version on YouTube a few times now. These words are virtually ingrained in my head:

Under the promise of the statue, less than 20 miles from Miss Liberty, the Old World pride and passion will be unleashed today. At the centre of the emotional cauldron Roberto Baggio. His challenge is simple; lead Italy to an unprecedented World Cup championship.

*Cue ridiculous Rocky-style music*

I dug up the goals from one of my video to DVD conversions. The quality is a bit grainy but here you go.

That reminds me - from the same campaign - disappointing result in the end but a thriller of a game . . .

thanks a million ET.

Added the hyperlinks to a few more games above.

A few more added to EastTerracer's post from the thread in general, and I've deleted my post to avoid confusion.

This thread just keeps on giving and giving!

Ireland-Holland 1990, 10 minutes of highlights
http://www.youtube.com/user/EKoranje.../5/XZim_FVW1PI
in Dutch

And 1994:

More Dutch Commentary.... this time from 2002 qualification:

http://www.youtube.com/user/EKoranje.../1/_U5pOrDMS_g

Portugal-Holland after around 2:00 minutes
Ireland-Holland from 4:14 minutes in to around 6:30

Ireland v Germany, 0-0, 2007 in Croke Park

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_QTFyVsx_A&feature=results_video&playnext =1&list=PL6A363296E08C61BB

The picture quality isn't brilliant but I've uploaded the McCarthy Park documentary in three parts on youtube.

Thanks for that! Have been wanting to see it for awhile now

Another new addition - the Brian Kerr's World Cup documentary from 2006.

Due to copyright restrictions I had to remove the McCarthy and Kerr videos from youtube. Hope some of you got to watch them during the week while they were there. Sorry lads

Got a chance to watch both. Cheers for sticking them up, albeit for a shorter time than intended.

Oh dear. Make your minds up lads, what is worse?:

The ref adding on more injury time
Nobody on the posts for the corner
What happened as a result
Or the commentary. It's in English alright, but not quite as we know it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUvGHk3Phno&feature=related

Not strictly Ireland but thought Id stick this up anyhow. For all the times I've seen Jimmy Quinns goal followed by Alan Mc's, I never saw anything from the other game on that infamous night.

A tale of two keepers it would seem with Schmiechel and Canivarez both playing their part for Ireland.........

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76k3J3beZPU

Good to know pointless melodrama isn't limited to us anyways.

Anyways -

Some extended Mexican television footage I came across of our game with Mexico at the 1994 World Cup:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqKpEDHMgQI&feature=BFp&list=FLkRuFANfNUYY IuiSPO5AD2Q

After the mess the band had made of the anthem against Italy, you'd have thought they'd have got it right this time, but, sure enough, they had to go puzzle everyone by playing an elongated rendition with instrumental intro.

Did a bit of editing with the footage from Ireland's penalty shoot-out against Romania in 1990 and came up with this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOfpr44ECTM
Footage of Ireland's historic penalty shoot-out versus Romania at World Cup Italia '90 featuring commentary from RTÉ's George Hamilton against a backdrop of Mogwai's 'My Father, My King'.

'My Father, My King' just seemed to fit perfectly with the crescendos in tension as events unfolded.

The Worm will love this one (I know he has been looking for this game for a while). It's only 2 of the goals from Ireland-Liechtenstein in 1997 but one of them is from David Connolly

Super. Was it that game or the other home game against them (under Charlton) that wasn't live on telly? Remember listening on the radio; Packie Bonner was getting dazed under the new-fangled floodlights (must have been 1994 then actually)

It was 94. Some issue at the time meant that RTE could only show 1 of Ireland's 5 home group games, so they decided to ignore Liechtenstein, as indeed did Charlton himself, who went off to watch another group game that night. The issue was sorted out before the next home game, and Ireland's remaining home games were all shown live.

One more from the VHS archive: Ireland 5 Turkey 0 in Lansdowne Road in October 1990. Featuring David O'Leary's only goal for Ireland (excluding penalty shoot-outs).


This was already on PineappleStu's list of links but this one is the RTE commentary instead of ITV.

I found these two on YouTube - superb stuff from 1983. The Malta game is the last home qualifier I wasn't at...

I was in Dalymount for the Holland match. Some unknowns called VanBasten and Gullit scored for them that night.

Holland 2 Ireland 2, September 1981

I'm sure this has been posted but I watched the whole lot the other night. It's a cracker of a game.

Brilliant YoP - thanks for posting this. I was at this game and the atmosphere was fantastic when Micky Walsh scored - I posted up the goal a while ago but its great to see the full game.

It's a brilliant game and having Jimmy's commentary makes it extra special. Serious quality in that team and the Russians too. I couldn't get over the pace of the game because although I've been watching soccer since about 87 I've heard so many people say the backpass rule made the games slower back then but I don't think that was actually true in the majority of games. The reason I searched for it was after reading the bit in a Jonathan Wilson book about Lobonovsky, the famous USSR/Kiev manager.

Anyway,
Just seen that sp1873 (I don't know who he is but he's easily one of my most favourite people in the world) posted this yesterday:

Not the way Ireland played - i would suggest going back and looking at every game Ireland played in qualifying for Italia 1990!
