Keeping updated on Saturday football via scores via Ceefax.
Watching the scrambled Sky Sports signal for Super Sunday and listening to the commentary because your parents couldn’t afford Sky.
Squinting to watch Monday Night Football when Cablelink had a channel with a split screen with boxes showing 16 things simultaneously.
Paper hats for championship games that would melt and run dye all down your face if it rained.

Great memories:clap:
Replica football jersies that didn’t feel like they were made out of plastic bags, weren’t made by Nike and weren’t made in China.
Free shit in Cornflakes boxes.
Little toys etc…

Them reflectors were fucking class
Yes my BMX was covered in them.
I remember getting a small yellow submarine free with Frosties… You’d fill it with bread-soda and it would make bubbles as it sank.

Ha! My oul wan banned that practice in our house. Was probably for the best, in fairness.
Finally I can agree with you on something.
Trying to dial in radio Luxembourg late at night on the transistor.
Holy hour (which was actually two hours) in pubs.
Young children sitting next to the open-heart fire in pubs at 12 O’clock at night eating taytos and drinking red lemonade while there aul lads talked shite about horses and hurling.

I didn’t even try that. The best I could get was a crackly reception from BBC Radio 5 (later Five Live).
That sounds like a line from ‘The Revolution Won’t be Televised’.

watching aertel 10 mins after the game had ended int he divine hope that tthere was a 90 min winner…
Does anyone remember the old Chorus/Irish Multi-channell sports channel that used to come on around 7 in the everning showing extended highlights from gaa club matches, harty cup and Munster minor and under 21 matches back in the late 90s/early2000s?
Gerald McCarthy used to do anchorman for some of it and was wooden as fuck
It still feels like that trying to follow some GAA matches on the RTE Sport Website
