Point of order. I am certain the 2007 WC was covered by RTE or was it TV3?


Either way it was not happy experience. They hyped themselves up something else before that WC.

Nope was all TV3

Fair enough. It was defo on terrestrial TV anyway as I did not have any paid channels in my gaff at the time.

What so if Ireland won the Rugby World Cup in 2007 it wouldn't be covered as it was on TV3?

Or Shane Lowry's open win won't be mentioned?

It wouldn't surprise me to see Leicester get a brief mention after Portugal are shown upsetting the odds to win the Euros (Euros will be covered as Ireland participated in them). It can show scenes of fans celebrating rather than actual match footage

Again very doubtful. I would think the Rio Olympics, Euro 2016 and the All Ireland hurling and football finals will be the only sporting events that will be featured for that year.

The appearance of social media, the iphone, smartphones
myspace , youtube etc
there was an irish version of the xfactor program .
there were new companys running cable tv ,
virgin media , etc which carry bbc and itv.they bought out the old cable company .
Maybe gay byrne leaving the late late show will be mentioned .
you can pay for eir tv or virgin media if you don,t like sky.
Even without a sub , you can watch free tv on an old sky reciever.
I do,nt think they will show any matchs that were not filmed by rte ,
of course they show all the gaa all ireland final matchs .
i think there,s a british version of reeling in the years shown on bbc northern ireland .
With a different title .

Myspace was founded in 2003 and saw its decline from 2010 when Facebook and other social media platforms took over.
Again, YouTube was founded before the 2010s so I don't think it will make an appearance unless showing specific viral videos etc.

Gay Byrne left The Late Late Show in 1999!

After that it's all recession sh1t for a few years.

I'll definitely watch it.

The 10's probably won't be made for another few years, it'll take a lot of trawling through archives and expensive to make.

I was always under the impression these sort of programs were CHEAP to make?
No Actors to pay
No filming to be done,the audio-visual is sitting there in the archives
The editors are already on the RTE payroll anyway so no extra wages to be paid?
Maybe not I dunno

How could we forget that? That will definitely be mentioned. So tragic.

Reading through this thread has brought home to me that so many unthinkable, unprecedented things have happened this decade that no one could have saw coming. Most of them awful but a few inspiring moments as well. It's flown by, I still think of 2012 as being like 4 years ago.

Unless they mean pat kenny, but sure wasn't that 2009? :pac:

haha haven't heard of MySpace in years and years. Instagram and Snapchat are the only ones that really rose to prominence in the 10s. Twitter and Facebook rose in popularity in the late 00s. YouTube was more 2006/07

Few more mentions, Fade Street and Tallafornia (shudder) might get a reference, as Ireland's answer to the likes of the Hills and Jersey Shore which were huge in the states in the early 10s.

Death of Terry Wogan. Yes, there's a bronze effigy of him in Limerick, No, I did'nt visit it when I was there last a few weeks ago.

Essentially, if you were web savvy in 1997, you had your own Geocities website, they had different 'neighborhoods' like 'Rodeo' and 'CapeCanaveral'.
Millenials would regard Geocities as far too awkard nowadays to contend with.

I once ran a Geocities website up to 2000.

Websites don't really exist anymore. People just share stuff from the same 3 or 4 apps.

The Gardai being shot on the Cooley Peninsula in Louth might make an appearance!

Obesity rates declining. People enabled to indulge their desire to be selfish dickheads and close off the rest of the world by staring at their newly-invented smartphones any time they feel the least bit awkward in public. Social media and constant exposure to information making everyone numb. All music sounding warbly overly-polished auto-tuned shyte. Scumbags of the old way (actual scumbags who were intimidating and scary) being replaced by vain, sun-bed users who wear girly jeans stuck to their legs, who are obsessed with their diet and haircut. Nobody cares about movies anymore because visual media is as readily available as air and the anticipation of watching something that is supposed to be entertaining is gone.

The "Games Convention" in the convention centre in the IFSC 2 years ago...


If the organisers don't have this successfully dead & buried by all accounts a great job is done so far.

As if they'd cover this anyway :pac: but autotune was very ubiquitous in the 00s also.

I never get how people think "sunbeds" "skinny jeans" etc are a new phenomenon and more popular today than before

I suppose social media maybe clouds people's perceptions

When I was in college from 04-07 lads getting fake tan done, perfecting their hair, shaving chest etc. was even more common than nowadays imo. Look back at any soap/TV show, premier League game etc from the 1990s and see how groomed many of the 20-something males were even back then.

The lads doing the fake tan and shaved chest in 04-07 weren't the level of scrotes that are now going around presenting like cheap rentboys in San Francisco circa 1966. I blame McGregor getting scrotes in to expensive tailored rather than expensive Champion Sports clothes for all of this.

These days, someone in a tracksuit is probably out jogging, and someone in expensive, tiny jeans with a pomaded haircut is possibly going to beat you up.

There was a thing in the UK about 7/8 years ago of total "hard man" types wearing moccasins and skinny jeans that didn't meet their shoes. They'd also all started vaping. Its quite hard to feel intimidated by the ghost of a 17th century gay pirate, that also smells of strawberry shortcake.

The chaos that caused, all the flights across Northern Europe cancelled for days. I remember hearing that there were people that the Department of Social Protection found out were not living full-time in the country but claiming benefits here as they could not fly in for signing-on days. Every cloud and all that.

I wonder will a lot of the centenary commerations will feature;
2012 Titanic
2014 Start of WWI
2016 Easter Rising - I think this will definitely feature
2018 End of WWI
2019 Meeting of first Dail

I suppose you could also throw in the centenaries of the 1913 Dublin lockout and the 1915 sinking of the Lusitania as well. I agree that the centenary commemerations of the 1916 Rising will certainly be covered.

I think from an Irish historical perspective, the most important years of the 2010s were 2010, 2011, 2015 & 2016. They witnessed;

The economic collapse of the country leading to the Troika Bailout.
The electoral decimation of Fianna Fail in 2011, a party going from 70+ seats to just 20 was unheard of.
The formation of the FG/Labour coalition in 2011, with the biggest Dail majority in history.
The hugely historic, successful and long overdue visit of Queen Elizabeth II to the Republic in 2011.
Leo Varadkar coming out as gay in 2015, the first serving minister to do so and then later that year the marriage equality referendum passing thereby changing the definition of marriage in the constitution.
The 2016 General Election which led to the confidence and supply agreement between FF & FG.
The 2016 Brexit Referendum which is still continuing to cause political headaches and economic uncertainty today. Hard to judge the full impact of this but I think if Brexit goes ahead it will fundamentally change these islands. It could be a disaster for Ireland or one of the best things to ever happen for the country, only time will tell.....
