Agree with this. The country has really never seen anything like it since. Even in 1994 when we qualified again the novelty was already gone a little. In 1990 I used to almost get physically sick before our games (nowadays thanks to everything thats happened since I don't even care tbh).

It'll never happen again because most of the younger generation are all arrogant sob's who expect success in every direction. Back then people were delighted to get any sort of ray of sunshine.

Ah the 90s, Outhere Brothers :pac: Cycling to school, going to work (part time) and enjoying it, wondering why the full time folk hated it, not a mystery anymore. Family dinner every day after school
A milf was 20 odd for me back then :pac:

Alan McLoghlin equalising against the North i ran around the house roaring with joy.

Singing give her a lash jack in 1990!!!! WC 90 peno save, I remember in 1990 watching it in a pub and getting a free drink everytime ireland scored, Ray Houghton scoring against Italy in 94 and John Aldridge going mental against mexico " You f*ucking cheat, you twat"

God i was mad into the soccer as a young fella....Happy days.

Italia 90. So epic. The whole country was on a high. Never seen anything like it before or since.

Monster munch crisps were proper ****ing spicy, especially the one last one in the bottom of the packet that had absorbed all the spicy goodness. Not like the ****ing neutered excuse for monster munch they have nowadays.

Windows 95 being mindblowing. ****ing around for hours in MSpaint and Encarta.

People having less money but seemed happier.

Copying Atari games on floppy disks and feeling like a badass awesome pirate.

Getting a girls phone number and having to worry about her parents picking up the phone the first time you call her. Then sitting around for ages talking on the phone, cant remember the last time i had a phone conversation with someone that was longer than a bout 5 seconds now.

Hearing Nirvana and being absolutely blown away like HOLY **** ROCK N ROLL IS AWESOME. Music doesnt do that anymore

Thank you, OP! I have lots of great memories - very difficult to pick favourites. In terms of television, I was much too young for Italia '90 <snip>, but not so young that I don't remember my mom shouting 'GO ON, SONIA!!" for the '92 Olympics!

A brief list of shows on 'The Den', then: (den, den, den...)

• The Den itself;
• Bosco;
• this little stop-motion show that was about dolls in a doll house - does anyone remember it? It used to be on before Bosco. It was quite dark in one episode - one doll killed another doll...
• the Bobobobs!! Does anyone remember that?! It was one of those dubbed cartoons that filled up RTÉ's children's TV in the nineties. It was about these people living on a spaceship and it had a very 'Yellow Submarine'-esque song in the end credits: 'We're all on a spaceship / A very jolly spaceship". Anyone?!
• Dogtanian and the Muskehounds ("One for all and all for one / Muskehounds are always ready"...);
• TINTIN!!

Okay, I'm off. More later.

Wolfstein and homemade Doom wads.

Well in fairness those of us who remember were at least 12 and up to 21 years younger back then.

In fairness ALL the Ireland games were awful (especially those played at daytime). It wasn't really about the football.

Naikon

Proper LAN parties. I can remember my face playing Quake and Half Life for the first time -> O_O

Ah yes, the 90's. Twas a better time. Probably because I was a kid.

Duggy747

Super Nintendo, had a shìtload of games but International Superstar Soccer (didn't have Deluxe) and Mortal Kombat 2 were the main staples.

The Den

Jurassic Park.

Doom

Arcades were awesome back then, walk in with £1 and you could be there for ages. They were like some sort of mystical game machines that your crappy console game ports couldn't even compare to.

Inflatable hammers

Beat on the street

Getting on the web for the 1st time.....................5 seconds later looking for porn material :pac:

Crisps were tasty, they're utter shìte now from the way they've changed how they make them. Burger Bites just aren't the same, anymore

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Mala

Going to the video shop and getting 18 rated films when I clearly wasn't 18

Playing GTA for the first time and just causing mayhem instead of doing the missions.

These little breaded turkey balls with garlic inside them (can't think of the name) They were bloody delicious but they just vanished and never saw them again.

Buceph

Heading down to Kerry and staying in a tent in the howling wind, playing soccer on the beach while my parents had a "rest" and getting to watch the final of the 95 World Cup in a very traditional and real Kerry village pub.

Loads of other memories, but that's the one that springs to mind. Holidays in tents.

Only because of the penalty shootout and what was at stake. The game itself would have been forgotten about if it had been an ordinary group game.

IMO of course.:)

Thanks, gravity. What is it about dolls called 'Apple'? Jealous dolls, at that. I remember another one-off show by Jim Hensen in which toys came to life when humans weren't watching (pre-Toy Story) and there was a doll called Apple who was sad that she was no longer her child's favourite toy. Plus, I saw it in the '90s.
