Walkinstown roundabout 1990 Ireland V Romania

[GrinningSceptic]

Ha ha, brilliant!

I was in Walkinstown today and I couldn't help but notice that Alfie Vize still has the exact same giant spectacles sign hanging above his optician's shop as he did back then.

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.....

@PokerInTheBrain agreed!

[catscantfly]

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

[clydebear]

The most amazing thing is the relative lack of traffic at the roundabout compared to these days !!

[talltim1]

@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...

[TheMojoMojo26]

Nostalgia at its best!! They just would NOT allow this in todays fucking health and safety mad Ireland, gone are the good old days, I was 7 when this was on, just wish I had been old enough to go on the lash at a roundabout..

[AcidSkiffle1988]

1 year old when this was going on!Come on Ireland and do it all over again in the Euro Championship so I can go out and get hammered!

[222furball]

TO YOU ALL, Mick OLeary bought Perrys Newsagents next door to the Cherrier, sold it within 3years!

[robierobier]

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 :(

[ravenflag]

Im surpised the roundabout wasnt full of romanians!

[robierobier]

@ravenflag damn right, bout 20 of them crammed into 3 houses up by me haha

[wriggler01]

@ravenflag haa!!!nowadays the roundabout is full of romanians!and evry other part of the town 4 dat matter....

[25superawesome]

[DB1410]

thats class as already siad ireland will never be the same again! to much missery here now with the reccesion green nerds ect.. this country has become to safety upsessed as well! hence speed camera vans everywere

dull boring cars with 20 airbags in only 3 colours grey black and white! people could smoke in pubs they could have a couple of pints and drive home ect.. and thats why this country is so dull know! if that lad had done the same with the ladder today he would be locked up!

[michellepillbox]

Unbelievable footage. Life should be like that all the time.

[gitzer1888]

[deech2011]

Never to be seen again-The good old days,Shit cars,Tashes on every man,friendly banter.

If that was today it would be fake tanned tramps and scrotes pissed out of their brains starting trouble.

And notice things like no double yellow lines-Park anywhere lads

Brilliant times

[ChaosRiddenReaper]

[paulchillage]

Great vid Dave. Is that the same camera you filmed me and Mick with? Or Jimi Tenor? :-)

[Bocomusic]

I'd say Bimbo's Burgers made a fortune after that

[nolanlorraine]

Never forget that day... best day ever... just seen my head in that video and lots of other i know...The good oul days...:-)

[Jaypus]

Fucking nightmare roundabout.

[maggiemono]

Magic memories!! It's emotional remembering that day, we were all broke as a joke and it was an absolutely fantastic time - everyone in walkinstown knew each other, it was a different world then! Thanks for bringing it all back.

[gosteviego]

What a great video, thanks for uploading. They wouldn't get away with it these days which is a shame.

[kevinjryan]

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!!

[Daithi333]

@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]

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.

[paulinespantry]

Michael o' leary was in desmonds beside the kestrel house.

[Daithi333]

I think Michael O'Leary (Ryan Air) was manager of the spar beside the cherry tree around that time.

[WeAreShels1]

@Daithi333 nope O'Leary was the manager of a small newsagents called kilcullens on the other side of the roundabout!

[parpcorp]

@Daithi333 he owned Desmonds for a while, it was beside the Kestral, you can see it 1:25 in this video

[MACKERTHEGREAT]

@Daithi333 he was the manager den

[GrinningSceptic]

@Daithi333

That's 100% correct. He also had one in Terenure at the time too.
