Spirits are high and everyone is getting behind Jack's Army, especially in Boyle where the Moone family are well and truly gripped by Italia 90. Well everyone except Liam, he'd rather take the clan away on holiday than pay attention to a foreign sport.
Martin is appalled with his father - he wants to watch Ireland's vital tie with Romania on home turf, not in Donegal. Debra isn't best pleased either but Liam gets his way and the Moones head off on their summer getaway, with Dessie and (a Marty McFly-clad) Padraic in tow.
Martin's determined to watch the match on Boyle soil however, so with Sean Murphy at his side, he sets out to thumb a lift back home. But passing cars are few and far between and, as kick-off gets closer, Martin and Sean need a plan B.
A nearby house proudly flying football colours would be just that, only the residents aren't quite what they expect.
The rest of the family, meanwhile, enjoy the match from the comfort of a pub, blissfully unaware they're missing their youngest member.
