The water meters didn’t work out too well for Phil.
They left in the clip of Aengus 
I dont really remember much of this news . I was doing the State Exams that year and just remember eating 99’s in the sun after every exam…
The music that summer was the best ever in my opinion.
Avicii, Blurred Lines, a heatwave and an iconic hurling championship

The September haze for the iconic Dublin v Mayo football final was an absolute classic of the genre myself and @Cheasty like to reference every few weeks.
One of the greatest sporting photos of all time

2013 was much more of a September heatwave than the traditional September haze.
The only All-Ireland final I attended wearing shorts before the hurling this year.
Classics of the September haze genre would be 1992, 1995, 2001, 2003, 2008, 2009 2012, 2014 and of course 2017.

1995 on there tonight. The early days of the Corrs, Clare’s great day, Bill Clinton in varying guises and so on until Lord Boyneside pops up fawning over Charles Windsor and proposing toasts to the Monarch. I laughed to myself.

A poignant climax with Big Jack waving farewell to the Irish hordes who had taken over The Kop for the play-off against The Netherlands.

Heady days, 2 WC and 1 Euro competition built on what I’d call catch and kick football in his 9 year tenure. How soccer never kicked on from that golden era remains the great enigma.

It’s mad to think that 3 time European Cup winner Bob Paisley almost got that job in 1986. I wonder how he would have done with that group of players?

He’d probably have gone more for keeping it on the floor than the more agricultural style implemented under Jack. Brady was 30 then and about to commence the return from the summit. Jack’s ability to instil unity of purpose with allowing lads to enjoy themselves isn’t a trait that everyone can pull off too readily.

With the brilliant The Universal by Blur playing over it.

Classic Reeling in the Years tonight for 1998. C’est la vie, David Beckham kicking Simeone at the World Cup, that strange Bono music video and the Offaly v Clare drama. Did Tour De France come to Enniscorthy that year?
Also that bald headed Daire O’ Brien who presents the rugby on RTE was rocking a fair head of hair back then on the Late Late Show talking about viagra. The Michelle Smith drama still rumbling on😅
Brian Kerr conquering Europe with the U18’s must have been special. Some scenes at Slane too.
