Hard to imagine the Irish getting that excited about anything today. I was in Genoa for that game.

I was 17 then...and what a time to be alive it was outrageous....never celebrated like that ever again

Very interesting. I did Pai Lum in Fire Dragon Dundalk for a couple of years before it closed down & I think Fire Dragon itself as an feel apart soon after. I always wondering why the Shotokan kata was taught along with the Pai Lum forms? Learned 3 Short forms of the Tiger, the Henan Shodan, then Dragon Dance, Henan Nindan etc etc.

What a day, I'm from walkinstown myself, love seeing this. Thursday August 10th 2023

I love this country.

Haha what a fuckin mad round about 🤣🤣

The days before diversity and multiculturalism. We looked so unhappy didn't we

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.

Too bad there's not a lot of video of Thomas around. There were 5 guys belted by Pai who all were extremely gifted. I knew him and he was one of the deadliest men around

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

Are you sure this is 1985? I was in the Dundalk Dojo And at one of these events 82 or 83 Sifu Beatts left Pai lum in 84 or 85 I visited the Dojo in North Great George's Street...there was a hotel on the corner ...was it the Belvedere? Got to see In Tua Nua play there after training... I'm American but lived in Ireland from 1981 to 1989 15 to 23 My brother and I actually worked as assistants and monitors at the Dublin event...Master St Charles Gave my Brother and I a plaque in Appreciation...those were the days... Back in NYC for 33 years now... Miss Ireland at least 3 times a Day

Back when everyone wasn't afraid of their own shadow. Great times

The snow drifts were over my head I was 8, finglas was belted with snow. Would love to sit on the banks of the tolka down by the waterfall opposite the royal oak and catch a big trout. Home is were the heart is.

1892?

Some day hope we get this far again in a world cup

this is the snapper... 7 pounds 12 ounces .. nah nah nah nah !

Wow, thanks for sharing.

The public when Fianna Fail and Fine Gael get voted out of government

such a hard song to learn

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 see a movie theater marque with missing in action and supergirl both were out in 1984

Wow - this brings me back! I studied Pai Lum with Murray Beatts in North Great George's Street. It must have been around 1980 (ish). Thank you so much for posting this!

I was at the one in 1985. I trained with the Limerick fire dragon club .I seem to remember Master St Charles having a go at some guy who didn't "have authorisation to film the event " .Taking your life in your hands weren't you ?? 😄

DAITHI do you have anymore GRANDMASTER ST CHARLES VIDEOS.?

Thx alot!!!!!

Would be great to see any other footage you have

How has this only received 160k views? It documents a lost past and should be required viewing.

When Ireland was Ireland. The memories of community spirit before our culture and identity was eradicated.

Nice green Opel Record there at the start.... Good times

30 years later and were still life in your hands , winging it around that fucking thing

A better Ireland

If there was one day I could go back in time to, it would be this one.

Thanks for everything, Jack. RIP, Big Man.

Days of innocence. How lovely

RIP BIG JACK

There must be more video cause this went on all night

I take it that's you and your Dad Daithi? Brings back memories because me and my own dad travelled to the US for the first time - just the two of us - in 1982 (Florida). A couple of years later we went back to both New York and Florida as a family.

No camera on phones in those days, whoever filmed it used a camcorder...remember them

Packie Bonner and David O`Leary were popular men with the ladies that day!

Please do post more, Daithí.

Wow! I stumbled across this by accident. It was 1985. I’ve never seen myself do that form. 35 years later. Thanks for this, Daithí.

If they ever invent time travel I’m going back to that day

Ireland was for the Irish back in 1990 ! Not one foreigner in sight. Now look at it....Full of them, screaming at us that we are all fckn racists when they don't get their own way.

I was 10 - best time ever! 2 weeks off school! Heaven.

The best people and football fans in the world.

Not a Garda in sight.

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.

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!!

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,

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. ..
