Saturday November 4th 1995
I listened to Newcastle beating Liverpool 2-1 in the last minute thanks to a David James calamity on crackly BBC Radio Five Live, then watched Noel’s House Party and Anthea Turner (who I had the hots for) on The National Lottery Live on BBC 1 before watching the BBC News which led with the shooting of Yitzhak Rabin. They came back with a later newsflash that he had died. I was glued to this news and it shocked me quite a lot.
This was being played at about the same time Rabin’s death was being announced.
On this day 37 years ago, the seeds of manyoos current malaise were sewn when ron atkinson was fired and they looked to scotland for his successor…
You reckon it was a stitch-up?

There’s a parking lot being named after her to mark the occasion.
I’m a day late but Kristallnacht happened 85 years ago yesterday. The start of what might have been the darkest chapter in humanity’s history.

I’ve a vivid memory of half the Irish team celebrating that night while Niall Quinn was convinced we still weren’t through and was live on air asking the lads in the studio if we’d made it and even they couldn’t figure it out as matches were still going. And in the background you could see Jack and the Irish team celebrating.
I think they flew from Belfast to Dublin that night having flown up that morning as it was seen as the safest passage back and forth. Seems like a lifetime ago

That was on during the day midweek. Our whole primary school a few hundred boys were all watching it on a portable telly while sitting on the floor of the school hall.

Same as that, some pile on when we scored
23 years ago today on Wednesday November 22nd, 2000 I returned home from Tallaght at about 4:30pm and turned on Aertel to see the very upsetting and shocking news that the totally awesome Uaneen Fitzsimons had died in a car crash. Nobody else in my family had heard of her and I had no internet to express my shock and sadness so I sat there half watching Leeds United v Real Madrid that evening silently contemplating the unfairness and wrongness of life. It was in a very real sense the day the music died.
Today Uaneen is memorialised by the “Uaneen rule”.
