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 · 17-12-2009 12:17AM

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

tallus · 17-12-2009 12:53AM

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.

stovelid · 17-12-2009 01:00AM

Dudess · 17-12-2009 01:19AM

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

17-12-2009 01:20AM

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

Offside · 17-12-2009 01:23AM

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

CrazyRabbit · 17-12-2009 01:27AM

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 · 17-12-2009 01:33AM

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 · 17-12-2009 01:34AM

The lads were great.

Agricola · 17-12-2009 01:48AM

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 same 1990........... Italia 90 was the best I remember the streets emptied when Ireland played we had blow up shamrocks that Jacobs gave when you collected a certain amount of tokens

Still have this on cassette tape vvvv

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 · 17-12-2009 02:33AM

09 for myself!

Super-Rush · 17-12-2009 02:53AM

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:

K-9 · 17-12-2009 03:04AM

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 · 17-12-2009 03:19AM

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.

Reeling in the years.
