Reeling In The Years

PTH2009

Its amazing that some of these stuff were only 2 years ago

The thing I remember about about the 8th Amendment referendum. Is how unequivocal it was passed compared to the equal marriage. 66% was a landslide.

Thank god the repeal jumpers came and went. I support it but they were a sure fire way to inform myself to avoid somebody.

Rolling Stones were better at Croke Park that year than the Pope

ShagNastii

It’s amazing how much of a non event the Pope’s visit was. I can count one hand the amount of people I know that attended events.

Completely forget Gallagher ran again.

Best show of the decade so far for me. Helped by a few big hits we all know.

FFS no mention of the Rugby team beating the All Blacks in Dublin for the first time ever. Proudly attended that game, magic atmosphere

One more episode to go, will it end with a Covid related scene ?

Wasn’t it December 2019 the cases began in Wuhan?
Would say they will definitely include Covid next week alright

You’d imagine they’ll have the rumblings of a mysterious virus in Asia as the closing bit to the episode.

When they put in 2016 you weren't going to get the two. Especially as both the first, France, and last, England, games of the Grand Slam were shown.

If it happened in any other year bar the Grand Slam year it probably would be on. Ire v England and v NZ in 2018 are two of our best ever performances.

When I see Gordon Hamilton in 1991 it annoys me, 3 min to defend a lead and we couldn't see it out!

Very surprised that there was no mention of Dolores O'Riordan's death or the Belfast rape trial.

They really milked the pope bit tonight and would have preferred the time used on the election.

The backstop bit was well done and made me laugh a bit. May will surely go down as one of the most widely unpopular PMs ever. The forgotten pothole on the road to Johnson.

Could have given just a little more context to that years hurling championship too and how big a story Limerick winning was but maybe I'm biased

Ya the deaths rarely get a mention but I thought it might get in as part of the hurling highlights.

Didn't realize the trial was that year felt more recent

Phil Lynott and Rory Gallagher's passing isn't mentioned in the 1983 or 1995 episode.

Someone had a long list a few weeks back. Its very rare and Bowie and the lads only got in this season because it was such a story how so many died at the same time

Phil Lynotts death is mentioned and they show footage of his funeral in the 1986 episode

freshpopcorn

When I see Keelin Shanley I always think of the day of the General Election and how the World went a bit crazy a few weeks later!

Was that in the DVD boxset version of the 1980s? Because there was no mention of Lynott`s death in the original broadcast version.

Think I'm after mixing it up with one of the lizzy documentarys

Atlantic Dawn

Didn't think they would show Peter Casey's complete domination of the presidential election amongst the contenders.

yeah surprised there was no mention of o'Rioirdans death given she was so young and known globally and the tragic nature of it all

As for the rape trial, I dont think they normally show stuff from the courts? Was there mention of Graham Dwyers murder trial in the 2015 episode?

Muahahaha

I wonder if they will mention Boy A and Boy B's trial for the murder of Ana Kreigel, next week? As Ana was murdered in 2018 and the boys on trial in '19. Though the series may have been in production while the law was in place not allowing child murder victims to be named, so for that reason alone probably not.

Muahahaha

yeah the murder of Ana Kriegel was a big event too as was the Graham Dwyer murder trial. But Im just wondering does RITY cover big criminal trials at all? I cant recall if its a topic theyve covered in previous series but from memory I dont think theyve really gone down that road.

Malcolm McArthur in 1982 is one that comes to mind, although that had a hefty political angle to inclusion as well. Brilliant use of Private Investigations by Dire Straits.

"It's a mystery to me
The game commences
For the usual fee
Plus expenses

Confidential information
It's in a diary
This is my investigation
It's not a public inquiry

I go checking out the reports
Digging up the dirt
You get to meet all sorts
In this line of work

Treachery and treason
There's always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason
I still can't get used to it
"

Muahahaha

The only one I recall was OJ Simpson which was obviously different, it was on scale with Big Brother or something similar!

Muahahaha

Yeah I might be wrong but I think in general they stay away from criminal trials, at least Irish ones. I remember the OJ clips and they have also covered the trial of Saddam Hussein and the Serbian general Radovan Karadzic who commited genocide in the Yugoslav war. They have covered some Irish court stuff like Michael Lowry, Denis oBrien, the tribunals, etc but I cant remember them covering high profile criminal trials in the show. Im pretty sure they didnt show anything about the Graham Dwyer trial in the 2015 show even though that had the nation gripped and was headline news for the best part of three months that year.

No, no Graham Dwyer in the 2015 show.

I'd forgotten about that Irnazi bollix going for the presidency. Didn't he have plans to start his own political party or something after his failure to be elected?

Snow storm in March
Belfast rape trial
Derry Girls
Ireland Grand Slam
Dolores O'Riordan's death
More Trump buffoonery
Presidential election

That fella saying he likes Ireland but he wants to leave is a mildy famous rapper called Fredro Starr, I remember Sean Moncrieff chatting to him at the time, he seemed fairly eccentric, also I was outside a SuperValu the evening the storm hit and a breadman wheeled a trolley full of bread into the carpark, people swarmed around him and it was empty within 5 minutes, madness.

Have to say I'm struggling to remember anything from 2019, feels like a lot longer than 2 years ago.
