ALL ABOUT JACK… Micheál Martin @MichealMartinTD So saddened to hear of the passing of Jack Charlton who brought such honesty and joy to the football world. He personified a golden era in Irish football, the Italia 90 campaign being one of pure joy for the nation. He gave us magical memories. Thank you Jack – Despite having eh…other things on his mind, the Taoiseach summed up the legacy Jack Charlton leaves Leo Varadkar @LeoVaradkar All of Ireland is sad to hear of the passing of Jack Charlton. He lifted the nation and gave us some truly incredible memories through those wonderful summers of 88, 90 and 94. #ThankyouJack – The former Taoiseach paid tribute too chris o’dowd @BigBoyler The songs you squeezed from us. The hope. The utter joy. Thank you big man. We needed that. Rest well. When all is said and done, you absolutely,
positively, gave it a lash – ‘The songs you squeezed from us’ – our man in Boyle (& Hollywood) remembers the ‘Give it a lash Jack’ and ‘Put ‘em under pressure’ days Mike Scott @MickPuck I was in a Dublin pub the afternoon Ireland went out of the 1990 world cup. Nobody minded. They were all celebrating. Dancing on the chairs, singing in complete joy and abandonment. I’ve never seen so much happiness. Big Jack helped make that – Our man in The Waterboys had a nice memory Archdiocese Dublin @DublinDiocese Thanks for all the joyful days you gave us Jack. Rest In Peace. #jackcharlton – Even the Church tweeted on Jack’s passing
Caitriona Balfe @caitrionambalfe Felt like he was Ireland’s dad in the 90’s ... made us all feel like our little country had a rightful place on the world stage of football. What a man. #jackiesarmy #JackCharlton #putemunderpressure – He WAS a father figure to the nation, thank you Jack for the magic memories. Rest in peace
AND JUST A BIT OF POLITICS… Margaret.O’Gorman @MargaretOGorm12 I knew we were going to have a revolving Taoiseach. A revolving Cabinet as well? Too much excitement for 2020 – ‘Cowengate’ moved up a gear when the Taoiseach dramatically sacked the Minister for Agriculture Brian Cowen (picttured below), on Monday night. Chaos ensued (and social media went into the proverbial meltdown)…
ProfJohnCrown @ProfJohnCrown Who else’s death but #JackCharlton’s would be simultaneous top story on both English and Irish news, in recognition of wholly separate achievements and huge affection in the two countries? – A good point from an eminently sensible man
