I'll admit it occasionally brings a tear to the eye. Especially around Italia 90. No idea why.

imagine a drink session watching episodes 1985 to 2009. many memories such as Euro 88, World cup 1990,1994, rugby world cup 1991,grand slam 2009, triple crowns etc.

It's great you love it so because RTE will repeat it forever and ever and ever.

I actually like it too though. Best thing about it's all clips, no presenters/talking head types

The Backwards Man · 01-09-2015 01:13AM

I like how the soundtrack from the year is usually made up from songs from that very year, freaky.

The booing when Haughey shows up and talks abouts belts.

Am I imagining it or do they always pay Bright Eyes when something sad happens though?

Maybe I just seen the same episode a few times or something.

Great series. There's always a point in each episode when the pop music stops ominously and then you know it's about to show the aftermath of an IRA shooting or another catastrophic loss of human life.

Done it. I was in the Czech Republic with a friend and he had been given a USB stick with pretty much all those years. Add in a few pints of draught guinness and a half a bottle of whiskey each and we were both in bits. Never cried as much in my life.

You know serious sh1t is going down when the music stops in Reeling in the years

Almost immediately I think " What have the IRA/UVF done now".....

World Cup 2002 was a special time. As a young fella, it was unreal. I was in the departure lounge for the Ireland Germany game - you can't have a beer. A half pint. Feck it, have whatever you want and Robbie equalised in stoppage time. W were dancing towards the departure. Aer Lingus staff were well oiled too.

Henri. F^%k that guy.

Mattie Holland screamed one in.

Duff announced himself on the world stage. Chelsea signed him up for big money soon after.

RichardCeann · 01-09-2015 02:26AM

We lashed the Spanish out of it. Harte missed the first peno and Robbie took the next. I was in Spain and watched it on Bbc - The Irish refuse to go home!

RichardCeann · 01-09-2015 02:43AM

We went to the Amsterdam arena and went two up.

Our international teams were doing well.

Sunnyisland · 01-09-2015 03:12AM

It's a great programme, well edited and presented, the sport the politics it brings it all back and can give you nostalgia emotions, for me anyway.

kneemos · 01-09-2015 03:26AM

The best thing about Reeling in the Years is the soundtrack.
It comes from a time when music was good.

Which year was that? I recently watched from 1980 to 1995 and don't remember seeing it.

Zebra3 · 01-09-2015 07:36AM

Did I accidentally stumble into the football forum?

They should go back and edit each episode to extend them to an hour. Surely there would be enough material to fill it. Love the show but have seen each episode a bit much in recent years

You should get that checked out.

Skerries · 01-09-2015 08:01AM

or just go back and do each year again with other news

Stinjy · 01-09-2015 08:06AM

Used to always watch this after dinner on a Sunday. . Loved the old news, but yeah - music stopping means something bad is happening....

Would love to see ones from the last few years though!

Boring username · 01-09-2015 08:24AM

The 2000-2009 episodes were fairly shite it has to be said.

No, you've definitely got it wrong. The music from each episode is always from the relevant year.
