[Emmylie2]

That is so very GREAT. I love it and could watch it again and again:-)

[Hockeyvalley]

Beautiful :D

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[AmIrish2thecore]

5 people have no taste

[sopherl29]

Such a shame that Ronnie Drew's dead. He was a brilliant singer and a truly lovely guy.

[killdog95]

oh and did the dubliners or the pogues ever record the wild colonial boy? Cause that would be fantastic.

[killdog95]

I wonder who won the game?

[mafabco]

Shane got new teeth, last year I think.

[mulkkujoonas]

irish and finns got some things common.... boose and singers...

[gonzoreveco]

ALUCINATE!

[AmIrish2thecore]

SHANE RULES!

[46pedi]

Great and hilarious!

[IHATEPRINCETON]

Shanes mouth must have stunk

[Hogo69]

why is it on fast forward now ?

[MrShaneMorgan]

sure that wasn't even the full song and the video was fast forwarded what was the point in that

[woodsypleb]

Does anyone really care that much! It's a great song, just another.

[2ndclass]

keep em under pressure jack

[el890216]

is this song about a special team???

[SuperDsweeney]

@el890216 It's about the Republic of Ireland soccer team during the world cup in Italy 1990. Jack Charlton was the manager, hence the song title. Brings back some memories.Ireland got to the quarter final and lost 1-0 to the hosts. Sardinia was where the team played early group games. They did play like perfect gentlemen and even had an audience with the pope. Check out " Whiskey in the jar " on the b-side, also with the Dubs.

[SuperDsweeney]

@el890216 It's about the Repubic of Ireland soccer team in the world cup finals in Italy 1990. Jack Charlton was our manager, hence the song title.

[Doolin67]

[MrRoebert]

[jpkelly88]

[drgrl]

Shane and Ronny...Pogues and Dubliners,absolute treasures they are!

[joeygsmom]

Hmm this tune sounds very familiar, is another song sung to this?

Good old Shane and Ronnie together, great!

[13Turinturambar13]

sounds like "the wild colonial boy" to me

[joeygsmom]

Yes!

That would be it, thanks!

[Beringorn]

aye the "ood" ool days ....we frotunately live in much ..much ..better times de nu

[jrpgp2]

Gawd, I love love this video and this song. Thank you Ronnie for giving us so much in your your music. I would have given my left nut to be in a bar with the dubliners and pogues.

[toolbox71]

why is everyone dying. but we still have the music. cheers!

[125Smokey]

This video must've been so fun to make.

[SirAngstAlott]

This is actually pretty sad video and song, something like good old times :( nice video thanks

[alexboldea]

ugliest bastard i've ever layed my eyes on. and the most beautiful voice i've ever heard!

[Pampahase]

@alexboldea I soooooooooooo agree ^^

[SuperDsweeney]

@alexboldea You look at other guys then do ye ? Doesn't bother me if you do, whatever you're into yerself. But have you any idea how mind-numbingly cliched and unoriginal you sound ? Shane may not be boy- band material but he has more charisma in his scrotum than any pretty boy has in their entire body. And lots of girls think so too. Johnny Rotten, Lemmy, hardly pin ups but who cares ? What a f**kin' tosser!

[grandma835]

@alexboldea : no I have to say Mick Jager is the ugliest to look at and he really doesn't have a voice, Shaney just needs a new set of teeth!

[recessionproof91]

Definately Tolka Park

[fritslas]

you are n1

[shanemcgowan72]

....GOD BLESS SHANE....CHEERS

[AnnizTranqu]

young barney ftw

[dingane]

looks like Tolka park in the background. Must've been a song forthe 1990 world cup

[spudduzz]

it was 1990 i was in italy at world cup my young son is called jack charlton mclaughlin

[1969theoldcat]

Must`ve been one of the only times, Ireland has ever been in a world cup (grin)... but I love this song! and go for it once more!!!! a German.....

[dingane]

one of 3

[1in1universe]

Wow Pogues and Dubliners!

Ireland the country where music is born.

[romperstompist]

wow what a job. get drunk and sing irish music thats hilarious!

[romperstompist]

does the singer in pougues usually sing drunk?

[step81hen]

He usually does everything drunk.

[paulgallagher13]

always, back in the day he used to finish his gigs on his back. ive heard that a few times he wasnt even let into the venue he was performing at because hed drunk so much,lol

[bostonburn]

Almost always but he is still a legend. He is following a long tradition of irish troubadours like the dubliners (luke kelly and ronnie drew)

[general081]

God Bless Luke, God Bless Ronnie, God Bless Shane, Everyone else, Pogue Mo Thoin!!

[BoxingMadLad]

SHANE MACGOWAN

[Suki40330]

"Dubliners," sorry for the spelling.

[albert93zg]

[DAIRISHDAVID]

Hey if you sing like him when drunk why be sober?

[Suki40330]

Shane and Ronnie, God bless'em, two of my favorite musicians of all time!

[Suki40330]

One of my favorite songs of all time!

[cybersnack1]

WOW that´a great song!!!

[NancyWhiskeyNo1]

Eh?

[Tr1sh4Lynn]

In a word? Probably. He's good at singing whilst drunk.

[BobbbyMcGeee]

Still a brilliant song!

But now let's hear it for Trap's Heroes and South Africa WC 2010 ;)

[fathersensini]

[youthgoes]

Amazing song...and amazing combination of artists!

[ninj33]

Rock on. Italia 90 the best craic ever.

[Limbofish]

[FallsHeavy]

[lehipster]

We love you Shane.....please dont turn yellow

[MsHelenMucus]

The Dubliners and the Pogues. What a great combination!

[koljen0]

Happy 50th Shane. Who'd have thought it...there's hope for us all. Great song too.

[artolarenedo]

Troora looooooooo !!!!!!

[jrpgp]

Gawd.... I love this song........

[Logikally]

Ah Banjo Barney McKenna, you have to love the guy! He is such a hero!!

[lavesedo]

very nice celtic music!

galiza ceibe

[MORGANTHEMOON1]

When Shane goes to heaven or hell I hope he leaves his body to science because he must have one hell of a liver I saw him in Cardiff last year pissed as a rat but brilliant just brilliant

[NancyWhiskeyNo1]

I was there as well, and indeed they were brilliant

[mop2mop]

jackie charlton! we love em!

[gammeljo]

thank´s for posting this video.

love this music:-)

greetings from norway

[CBE20032003]

THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THIS 1!!

[nader112389]

love this song

[Irishqueen88]

he actually seems half sober for this one. long live Shane!

[berryjewell]

It is now oddly disheartening to think that some day when Shane is dead and gone, his humour and antics may be nearly forgotten and he will only be hailed as the genius lyricist that he is. Who ever said Genius is boring was a fecking eejit. Just a man like everyone.Just a genius like every genius, yet just a man. Let's remember him for his fun side for years to come. Love the vid!

[184928237]

The thought of Shane dead and gone scares me enough. Here's to hoping he lives a long happy life.

[berryjewell]

Cheers to that! :-)

[blackaarmy]

I LOVE SHANE!

[Devildance1234]

Would you people please call him Shane MacGowan. Not "their lead singer." He's way to great for that kinda talk.

[anotherhana]

ignorants

[jkjk111]

dued the porgus singer is always drunk

[Domitianvs]

Porgus? Oh, please!

[jkjk111]

srry Porgues. well the lead singe rin all of his songs HE TALKS AND SING LIKE A DRUNK!

[Domitianvs]

Undbelievable! THERE'S NO "R" IN POGUES!

[cemilgokten]

its obvious that you've never seen an Irish drunk lol..btw hes one of the best folk singers in the world so what 'bout showin some respect eh

[FuckingIrishWhiskey]

you shallow bastard probably prefer britney spears. guess those japanese cartoons finally got to you, eh?

[Devildance1234]

Haha! That's what the bastard needed

[NancyWhiskeyNo1]

And that's a bad thing?

[rdsklw]

Thanks for the explanation. Makes alot of sense now.

[Andraax42]

It's to the tune of "Wild Colonial Boy", and the text was written to the FIFA World Cup in 1990 (Italy) as a tribute to the Ireland team, being led by Jack Charlton. Hence the name, "Jack's Heroes".

[chrisaldi]

ooh love it ^^

[gaelicstorm]

Never heard this before. Seems like a mix of the Wild Colonial Boy and the Ould Orange Flute?

[skalanji]

Seems to me like it was fun to do this video. But when was it recorded? I saw that Shane MacGowan got nearly all of his teeth xD so it has to be some years old.

Or am I wrong and he bought some new teeth?

[1975boy]

Absolutely (fun)tastic!!!!!

[weephil]

excellent. haven`t seen it before. thanks!! :D

[alfonsgoffin]

This is fun, great!!

[PatriarchK]

Amazing!

[Erdinger2003]

Yeah, I haven't seen this one either, I really enjoyed that video as well, great stuff!

[ruddiger121]

[Gurrier]

[ElGuapodeGevelsberg]

[n10odles]

That was Great!

[IrishDaragh]

Hahaha poor Barney got stuck in the goal!! that looks like it was fun!!!! if only I was born in 1940 I would of auditioned to b in The Dubs ;D

[LukeKellylives]

Haha. Eamonn is crazy.

[tigerspuds]

This is the pogues (and Dubliners) attempt at a football song for the 1990 world cup. (Italia 90). The best ever world cup in my opinion!

Fuck Schillaci!

[JimboJones100]

funny shit Barney.
