VIDEO: This is the reason we miss being in the European Championships

Tony Cuddihy

Ah, the memories.

Seamus Coleman is back in Killybegs, Shane Long has been reunited with his daughters, and Roy Keane is (presumably) busy practicing his best Robert de Niro impression in a Manchester mirror.

It already feels like three weeks since Ireland’s Euro 2016 was ended by Antoine Griezmann and France, which is why we love this video so much.

JOE reader Brendan O’Daly filmed this on Sunday night, just hours after Ireland were dumped out of the tournament by the host nation and it’s magnificent.

Irish fans perform The Fields of Athenry with a Portuguese ukelele player and a throng of happy French people. We love this.
