Oh I miss the days when SkySports news was free. Used to watch the soccer special, and there used to be early kick offs with Utd. and they'd show the goals as they happen. And the pins and needles you'd get when they'd go on a break and the first thing they just show the goal straight without any talking :P
I remember Forlan scoring in injury time v Chelsea many years ago and this happened. Good times

Yes! Who remembers this game? Always sticks out in my mind when I think of RTE live games on a Saturday
First thing I thought of when Saturday games on RTE was mentioned. Ridiculous score to lose by at home.

this! As a 9 year old I can vividly remember watching Ireland v Denmark in a 1993 WC Qualifier at Lansdowne. 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class all jammed into the middle big classroom. Remember being dazzled by the skill of the Laudrup brothers. Niall Quinn's flick got us the draw with the Euro Champs and we all went home happy. Bloody important point as it turned out in the finish!KingdomYid wrote: »The whole school watching the Irish games on a Wednesday afternoon in the school hall.
I also miss Super Sunday, when it used to be good! Oh that theme music brings back memories!

My god, can't believe I'd forgotten;

Where would I even start....- I miss an FA Cup and a League Cup that meant something - that in itself brings so much that I miss - packed houses - the excitment of the Cup draw on a Monday on the radio, with everyone in school huddled around the one fella who had a transistor radio - three / four / five game cup ties / sagas that would live in the memory for years - cup ties played on bogs with the underdog and the big team both going hell for leather to win,
- I miss a European Cup played out amongst genuine champions,
- I miss a compelling UEFA Cup,
- I miss looking forward to Match of the Day or the excitement of football on Sportsnight, introduced by Tony Gubba
- I miss squads of 13 / 14 players which meant that I could name every single player in the First Division - oh and yes, I miss the top division being called first,
- I miss terraces with fans packed in and enjoying their reaction as their team scored a goal in front of them,
- I miss being excited at the prospect of a live football match on telly, irrespective of who was playing,
- I miss the skill and irreverence of players like Bob Hatton, Frank Worthington, Alan Hudson, Rodney Marsh, Vince Hilaire, Stan Bowles.....
- I miss when players thought it a sign of weakness to go down hurt,
- I miss the excitement of a World Cup, where you would see look forward to seeing new and great players you had never heard of - or the excitement generated by seeing as many live matches in a single day as you might see in a full football season normally,
- I miss the half time scores around the pitch at matches and I miss the wee blue three wheel mobility cars on the sideline,
- I miss the football of my youth.

\o/
Then running home at half time (they'd be 2pm kick offs, because that was 3 on the continent).
After the games, Zig & Zag becoming "Amoan Grumphy" and I can't remember the other fake name.
Im afraid our primary school didn't have a TV back then so going home at lunch time for "dentist appointments" was the thing to do
Things I also miss
Marco Van Basten
Playing Subbuteo against the cousins every Sunday
Teams like Woking playing in the FA Cup0 -
