[@spiskrigarenfrans]

[@godblessthepope.]

The Guy the missed the penalty for Romania, got hells abuse when he went back home. But once he retired from football he opened a pub near his home town and called it ? Penalty. 😂

[@joeyxl3456]

aww poor bro i hope he's doing good

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Daniel Timofte is his name.

[@jackkenefick2696]

and packie had a boat called Timofte

[@David.L291]

it's fucking ridiculous all this abuse nonsense just over a poxy missed penalty, so fucking what? those people need to grow up and get a life , fucking idiots!!! it's just a bloody football game not the end of the world, I bet they wouldn't be so cocky if they were to take a penalty on a big moment like this in the world cup finals

Loved how Jack left it up to the players to decide who was taking the pens.

[@stevieboy2938]

rest in peace jack thanks for the great times.

I remember watching this on tv in June 1990, aged 8. Will never forget it.

[@Pessidog10]

Now we can't even beat Luxembourg

[@jamessherry3019]

3-0

[@danring1340]

Well said

[@jeannotschumacher1024]

We have become a force to recogn with😊 In the 3:0 game the ref was bought, biased and crap together. You were very lucky. Goal which wasnt a free kick. Our goal disallowed etc etc etc..

[@Simombrun1980]

always makes me smile. Great days and fantastic memories. Crazy but wonderful times.

[@Maximustard]

David O’Learys parents couldn’t believe that David O’Leary took that penalty

[@chiemekanwaogwugwu9995]

A quite remarkable achievement, reaching the World Cup quarterfinals without winning a game outright. Ireland at Italia 1990 sure didn't know how to lose.

[@maxpower252]

Argentina made it to the Final after winning just two games and scoring 5 goals in 7 games.

David O'Leary Pen Was actually really good! Great foot work and finesse!

[@kurtpunchesthings2411]

Lucky all the Irish people who were able to watch this iconic moment in Irish sporting history

[@darraghfarrell9024]

I’ll never actually forget this day and I have a brain injury!?! We still all talk about it!?! A load of plastic paddies and we managed to get to the quarterfinals of the World Cup!?! Ah great memories!?!

I don't like when we play against Ireland because I love Ireland.From Romania with !!!

One of the greatest moments in Irish sport , if not the greatest .

[@MysteryManfrom79]

A magical moment! Always felt a bit sorry for Lung walking off defeated though as Ireland celebrated...

[@jackkenefick2696]

that's football. Some of them went upto him afterwards alright.

[@leskay1]

My fave part of this video is how the IMMORTAL line was jammed in there without any sort of gravitas. Woeful editing performance starts @1:13. Blink and ya miss it.

[@BigRamifications]

And how about Sinéad?! Skinhéad farking O'Connor. Warbling away in the background. Thought that'd be a good idea, eh? Woe betide the uploader.

[@edwardoconnor3960]

Great atmosphere in the pub and bad head the next morning... Great day , Jack Charlton RIP

[@tinkersvest]

HE'S FUCKIN GORGEOUS!!!!!

[@danring1340]

Jack Charlton a fantastic innovative manager.. a man before his time.. what makes teams great now? Togetherness and a high tempo. Jack started it all off, even put down by a journalist called Dunphy who said he left out great players, namely one Liam Brady who was great but Jacks system was so complete and yes simplistic there was no room for individuals. Keep on pushing keep n pushing keep n pushing., It's not going to be easy for us but it won't be easy for them either, we'll PUT EM UNDER PRESSURE and we did, We dismissed England we almost dismissed the Netherlands and yes in that brilliant World Cup in 1990 it took the Italians with one lousy goal to stop us getting to the semi's, Jesus, Schillaci that beady eyed... oh never heard of after the World Cup but remembered for ever. I still can't get that bledy name out of my head Schillaci Schillaci goallllllllllllll damn him. It's the only way to play nowadays but alas the Republic reverted back to the old ways where their mediocre players are shown up and Charlton's wonderful system is lost. It's simplistic format gives every player a focus, as the Mighty Quinn once said to a journalist 'we all know what we are doing' and can make an average team great. C'mon Put Em Under Pressure, We Gotta Game To Win.. long time ago but never forgotten..RIP Jack thanks a mill

[@dieminervaeule]

Believe it or not, as a German I can relate to that somewhat. We, too, lost the traits that defined our idiosyncrasy and playing style a long time ago. Sure, we managed to win the WC in 2014, but from that point on, the fact that we had forgotten our old virtues began to show. Two first round eliminations in a row, unprecedented for my nation! And we, too, had once a very simplistic yet effective style that gave us the upper hand over two very superior teams in two WC Finals (54 against Hungary and 74 against the Netherlands). I miss those times.

[@martinranalli8572]

Ireland 🇨🇮 were so brilliant that they should've not only won this match and on the pitch not on penalties, they should've not only beaten but thrashed Italy and they really should've gone onto win that World Cup easily.

[@spiskrigarenfrans]

A funny thing is that the year after Super Nintendo released Super Soccer based on the 1990 world cup. And because of this save the Irish keeper was very hard to score penalties on in the game. They had all last 16 teams in the game except that Japan replaced former Checkoslovakia, maybe due to the split of the nation and Japan being big in Nintendo industry I dont know.

[@guinnessharvey4476]

Wow, World Cup quarter finals. Who know when Ireland will ever be there again

[@Mikeb1001]

Keeper was miles off the line for every Ireland penalty as well

[@dmgsoultogetherness6667]

epic

[@edwardcluskey8196]

Didn't Ireland sink a further 12 feet into the Atlantic when O'leary scored?

[@johnbalance3989]

Why the fack did they stick Sinead O Connor on in the background?

[@vantheman1238]

john balance I just said the same. Ruined it.

what a peno from kevin sheedy! all pretty decent actually, tho maybe cas a bit sneaky

Kevin gave the rest of them confidence with that peno. Imagine Cas went first!?

[@CradaOC]

A time in Irish football long gone...be lucky to beat The Faroe Islands nowadays

[@jackmurphy6864]

True. But there was plenty English about this, given 4 of the 5 penalty takers weren't Irish.

[@RAYRAY-yt3hz]

👍🇺🇸

[@FionanUaMurchadha]

Daniel Timofte's penalty was just so weak you gotta feel sympathy for the guy, he took it with no run up and at such a wierd angle.

[@annedoran7108]

I feel bad for Daniel timofte

Why is there 4 dislikes

Are not is

[@lardy70s]

Should Packie Bonner be renamed as Paddy Starney?.

[@Barry3326]

Then a lucky goal knocked us out 😢

[@jackmurphy6864]

Only Ireland (with 5 Irish from 13 playing) were lucky against Italy, in fairness. Italy had two perfectly good goals ruled out for offside. Lucky not to be hammered in that game.

[@Patriot8101]

What a time to be alive , that was the real ireland 😢 now look at our beautiful country.. what a shame ...

[@derekkelly9286]

Bonner was a useless goalkeeper an also timofte penalty is the worst penalty in history Ireland achieved nothing

[@CamEraFitnessChannel]

Lol, someone here is so very jealous. 😂 If he was "useless", explain his near 20 years as a professional footballer, winning numerous titles, record appearances & international caps etc.

[@lexingtonlad5745]

George Hamilton is the worst commentator ever 😤

[@micheal5797]

Love him

[@lexingtonlad5745]

@Fíonán Murphy I don't hate the man he's just a poor commentator. Marty is the man.

[@jackkenefick2696]

everyone will remember George's line after every other commentator is long forgotten.

Behave yourself
