1996 was my favourite year

the tour de france in 1998 was my favourite event and 1998 would be my favourite year because i turned 17 then but i cant remember it because 12 months and 30 days of 1998 were a complete blur

googlehead

1995 was a very good beer for me

I love Reeling in the Years, probably one of RTE's best productions. Their 90's DVD is ridiculousy expensive though (30 Euro!)

A few of my favourites were Martin Luther's speech, the Black and Tans attacking the NICRA march in Northern Ireland, the Berlin Wall falling, and many events in the Cold War. It really sheds a light on Ireland's 20th century.

Too young though to give a year from personal experience! My favourite year from history...well there's too many to choose from.

1988 the Dublin Millenium

Italia '90

I was in my local pub watching the penalty shoot out between Ireland and Romania and there was a dude on the floor in front of me praying as the penalties were being taken.

Legendary times.

1996

Was in college and loving it, had a bit of cash in my pocket for the first time so was able to enjoy life, met my hubby that March and made some great friends..all in all it was a pretty good year.

We clearly lead the same life - what the hell did you pick 1986 for? It sucked!

That show always makes me cry. Even though I wasn't even living in the country for the majority of the years shown.

Really hope they'll produce a 'reeling in the noughties', want some new reeling in the years to stick my teeth into!

1990. I'm not a huge soccer fan, but that was the first, and only time I seen the entire country all focusing on just one thing.

Great sense of community and patriotism. I remember entire roads painted in green, white and orange, with flags and bunting hanging from every house.

Seloth

They're gonna do a sweep on 2009 and it'll show this

ugh Imagine the music the're gonna play for a few eyars ago "Bitches be crackin my hoe" to like the death of the pope...Ick the thought of that is scary,reeling in the years when well..blah!

Johnny Giles

The lads were great.

Agricola

1998 for me. Was 16. Was obsessed with the world cup. Think I saw every match! Topped off by alot of knacker drinkin that summer and afew sly trips into the local pub with me school mates, gettin hammered on 2 pints. Good times!

Yeah I always feel a bit sad when I watch it - even the happy bits. Stuff like Omagh, Enniskillen, Warrington, James Bulger, the war in the Balkans... never fail to make me blub.

zonEEE

09 for myself!

Super-Rush

2001 was my best year so far. God the memories:D:D:D:D

Wow, didn't think they went back as far as the 1500's!:pac:

Can't remember the exact year, might have been 86, but the interview with the guy from Donegal town leaving to emigrate at the end of the show, kind of summed the 80's up.

Best: 88 Stutgart, nothing ever beat it.

Worst: Any of the Northern atrocities, the week of Gibraltar, Stone and Casement Park was probably the worst.

grenache

Best - Ray Houghton lobbing Pagluica to score the winner in 1994 World Cup. I was ten and my father picked me up and threw me into the air when we scored! McGraths heroics in defence, Trigger nut-megging Maldini, ah great memories.


Worst - Ian Paisley's verbal assault on the Pope in the European Parliament in 1988. I wouldn't be the Catholic Church's biggest fan, but the bile that came out of Paisley's mouth that day was sickening.

Super Sidious

1994
I started school...
I remember watching the world cup in the US and Ray Houghtons goal against Italy...
And I remember watching this... still gives me goosebumps!

And the OJ Trial haha! First time ever sitting around with family waiting for the verdict of a trial.

Captain Havoc

1999, Leaving Cert, went to college, moved out of home, first got regular access to the internet, first mobile phone (I think, could have been '98), . Man UTDs cracker of a game against Juve and the phenominal last minutes of the final against Bayern München (I'm not even a fan), Armstrong won his first Tour de France, Kilkenny lost the All-Ireland Thinking back to the weddings I worked that year, Ronan Keating was probably the biggest hit of the year, ah the snogs, Princes 1999 got played a lot, Carlos Santanas Smooth, Mambo No. 5, I'm blue by Eiffel 55, Ricky Martin livin da vida loca. News wise, I think Clinton bombing Kosovo was probably the main one and Columbine comes to mind.

The greatest year for san fran bay area thrash metal. You had slayer, anthrax, dark angel, metallica... if that's your sort of thing it was a fucking cracking year.

Gingy

Reeling in the Years is easily the best thing that RTÉ have ever made. They're getting ready to start the noughties collection. I was only a gassun in the buggy, but the Italia 90 montage is my favourite, I often put it on just for a boost in my day, my friends and I travelled around Europe quoting it for 4 weeks.:D:D:D

Yeah but it was just right before I realised things could actually suck. Back then it was TV, sweets and the odd game of Hide and Seek. Before 1986, I have no memory, and after then, I was aware of the subtle (and not-so) cruelties of the universe.
So yeah, I got roughly 1 lousy year - out of between 31 & 100'n'something - of non-misery. Go Being Alive :):(

That song that was played in the background during that clip made it even more moving - I think it was by Mary Black 'Leaving Behind Nedin'

1996

It was the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Big Nasty

1996 - My first time really living away from home in a completely different country with the Ma nowhere near to bring clothes home to be washed. First time I had to pay for, tax and insure on a car all by myself (BMW 320i Coupe at age 20), the maddest, maddest sessions I ever had, working in central europe and could travel anywhere in europe on a whim on a day off! Working my tits off (70+ hour weeks) shagging, drinking, smoking, earning great money and spending every penny as soon as I got it!

Best year of my life!

Beasty

1999 for certain - greatest event (by a country mile), Camp Nou, Barcelona, 26 May 1999. I was on the back row at the end where all the goals were scored.

Other events:
14 April 1999 - took delivery of our first child and Giggsy scored the last and best ever goal in an FA Cup semi final replay.
The rest of the Treble
Winning the World Club Championship in Japan

(Second choice would be 1985 - 11 July I sat my last ever exam, 2 days later I went to Wembley to see Live Aid. 18 May Whiteside's goal against Everton in the FA Cup Final)
