Reeling in the Years

I love catching this programme and find that I remember lots of the things going back many years!!

The other evening was 1974 ... great memories .. even if I was a chizzler!

Tonight was 1976 ... more happy memories - beating Kerry for the first time in a final in 53 years and I was now old enought to celebrate with a drink - 12!

Perhaps as an omen they also played a great track from that year by Phil Lynott ... The Boys are Back in Town!!

This evening was 1977 ..........

Phil Lynott was on again ........ Dancing in the Moonlight

............ and Dublin won Sam!!

Ah now OMAR - try this 1977 classic instead ...



and ominously this was also a hit ....

1978 tonight ...... Dublin got hammered and Cork won the All Ireland (hurling!) .... at least they played Rat Trap by the Boomtown Rats!

ps Did Pat McEneaney referee or do the line for the '78 Final??

Brain dead tonight and mixing up my TV. A young McEneaney was pictured on the 6.1 News taking charge of the 1995 Dublin v Cork game - doh!

Iremember going to that match in 78 with my grandad..everything was going to plan till a ref i think was from Kildare fooked up our plans..I was sick for weeks after that defeat ...I suppose its eased a little with time.

I was behind the Paddy goal and got soaked! All the apples, pears and chocolates on the Canal End wouldn't have eased the pain. I was glad it was raining after as it masked the tears!

Croke Park looked like so much more fun back then
