A video I took at Walkinstown roundabout 1990 Ireland V Romania. Kestrel pub and Cherry Tree crowds. The camera was a shoulder-mounted Sony video 8 pro ccd-v100e
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.
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.
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!!!
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!!
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.
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! :¬)
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
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.....
Thanks for sharing this one. It's going around facebook like wildfire!! The clothes, the hair, the cars, the busses, the athmosphere, the... memories! (,")
@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.
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. ..
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!
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.
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.!!!
@@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.
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
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

Little did those people know they'd be on the internet when this was taken :-)

Back when everyone wasn't afraid of their own shadow. Great times
Me as a german loved that team with Bonner,Cascarino,Staunton etc. sooo much

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!
I'd say Bimbo's Burgers made a fortune after that
Days of innocence. How lovely
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
Thanks for everything, Jack. RIP, Big Man.
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
Ireland .. Golden days. I hope well see it all again soon
Shush

What a day, I'm from walkinstown myself, love seeing this. Thursday August 10th 2023
I was 17 then...and what a time to be alive it was outrageous....never celebrated like that ever again
Thanks for sharing this one. It's going around facebook like wildfire!!
The clothes, the hair, the cars, the busses, the athmosphere, the... memories! (,")
There was an atmosphere in the country that hadn't been seen ever before or since. . It was a great time
21 years on. its still a crazy roundabout to manouvre. Bring on EURO 2012
@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.
Daithi333 it's mental to see this, I was 7 months old and living down the greenhills road not knowing why everyone was shouting 😂
Class!! It was like that in Belfast too!! Still can see Bonnar diving across to his right to stop timofteis penalty. Brings a tear
The Person that recorded this was obviously LOADED :)
We didnt have a wind up camera in those Days.
Thanks for the Upload Great Memories. Cheers !!

that roundabout is the bane of my life
TO YOU ALL, Mick OLeary bought Perrys Newsagents next door to the Cherrier, sold it within 3years!
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.

That twincam at 4:40 though!!
12uniflew that kp starlet at 2:52
1990 plenty of them around when they weren’t abused like now a days
@@Fordman99. There was not plenty of them about back then.. there are plenty more nowadays because of money and importation from Japan
I think Michael O'Leary (Ryan Air) was manager of the spar beside the cherry tree around that time.
WTF??
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.
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.
This might be my favorite video of all time.
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
Some day hope we get this far again in a world cup
There must be more video cause this went on all night
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

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

It actually has millions of views as it was downloaded and copied to other platforms.
@@Daithi333 shut your mouth
No camera on phones in those days, whoever filmed it used a camcorder...remember them
Shoulder mounted Sony camera.

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.
