Доклад в края на сезона: Необходима е перспектива, дори ако провинциите не са отговорили на собствените си очаквания #ръгби #rugby #URC

Когато в първия понеделник на март се разсъмна, масата на URC имаше познат вид. Трите ирландски провинции – Лейнстър, Улстър и Мънстър – заемаха първите три места в класирането, което до голяма степен бе характерно за ръгбито в URC/PRO14, откакто Глазгоу на Грегор Таунсенд и Скарлетс на Уейн Пивак преминаха своя добър период Този откриващ уикенд през март не допринесе много за имиджа на URC:…

the one man in the unit who was neither awed nor intimidated by mayne was eoin mcgonigal. the two men had known each other since before the war. the two young men probably met on the rugby field, and had visited one another's homes and families. their friendship had deepened after they joined the royal ulster rifles in early 1940, and then together applied to join the commandos. 'they were absolutely inseparable, said one contemporary. when mayne became drunk and aggressive, only mcgonigal appeared able to calm him. as a catholic irishman from the south, mcgonigal might easily have been the butt of mayne's sectarian prejudice, but there is no evidence they ever exchanged a harsh word. it seems likely that mayne urged stirling to recruit mcgonigal, and felt a strong sense of responsibility for his welfare. 'mcgonigal is here with me,' mayne wrote to his sister in september, like a schoolboy delighted to find himself in the same class as his best friend.

shoulder to shoulder hc's

Remus

is a really good cook from looking after Gracie but refuses to look after himself properly so only ever makes pesto pasta or noodles at uni, but when he's home and in a good mood he whips up the turkish dishes of his childhood for his sister

has a lightning bolt shaved into his short back and sides as a kid because he thought it'd make him faster on the field

originally played nine because he was a mouthy motherfucker at age twelve but when he hit puberty he grew too tall and his coach moved him to fifteen, but he ended up loving it

is actually still on good terms with his secondary school girlfriend, who sometimes takes Gracie on day trips with her and her little sister

he still has all his old jerseys in a box under his bed, saving them for if he ever has kids.

was filmed shirtless for a promotional video for his first world cup and overnight became a figurehead for body positivity and had instagram accounts dedicated to his abs. Sirius finds the latter hilarious and encourages to post thirst traps to his own professional account to give them new content. Remus begins working with charities on campaigns that help children feel comfortable with their visible differences, publicly talking about his scars in a way he thought he never would.

used to tell people Gracie was his daughter when he was eighteen for a laugh and to see the horror on their faces.

moves into a flat in Bristol with Sirius after graduating; equal distance from Remus' training and James' parents house. Gracie moves in with them after four years, after another accident forces Lyall into rehab.

Sirius

joined rugby in year seven because his first proper friend James said it was really cool and he knew it'd piss off his mum

got his tattoo's with a fake ID at seventeen the week after he moved in with the Potter's because he couldn't think of a better way to retake ownership of his body

a prolific vinted seller, makes bank by upcycling the cast-offs of his friends and re-selling them. in his final year, it gets featured in Teen Vogue and the exposure gets him fashion internships for post graduation.

(follow on) can sew. Effie taught him on the long nights he couldn't sleep post-running away, and so many of his clothes he's made himself

aside from his one night stand in first year, Remus is the first person Sirius has done bits at uni with because he was always too scared Peter would find out

swore himself off rugby boys and was so rude to Remus at first because he couldn't bear to admit his attraction

ends up working with NGO's to help queer youth, pioneering for the inclusion of queer kids in sport, helped by Remus' professional connections

Lily

had a weeny crush on remus when she first met him, and spent the first two weeks of uni gushing to her school friends about 'the cute welsh guy in my lectures' until she realised he really needed a friend, and she did her best to be that for him

likes her sleepovers with remus bc as a kid her and petunia used to share a bed but petunia stopped when they were fifteen and Lily always sleeps better next to someone else

used to hate being Ginger but her year 10 crush once told her it made her 'unique' and now she loves her hair

always wearing black winged eyeliner, even just to make a tesco run

has a tiny butterfly tattoo on her ankle that she got matching with her sister before her sister went to uni, back when they were on better terms. she hates it now, and tries to always wear socks

lowkey such a daddy's girl. watches the rugby with him and they have matching Ulster jersey's and scarves

James

had initially wanted to be a cricketer like his dad but his primary school had had a rugby club, and it was love at first training session

was genuinely shocked to be voted captain, doesn't realise how widely loved he is

obsessed with pickled onion monster munch

favourite song is unironically the rockerfeller skank by fatboy slim

his mum insisted he also take bollywood dancing lessons as a kid because she was scared private boarding school would make him lose his connection to his culture

was the main love interest in his year eleven school play after auditioning for a joke with Sirius and now has a genuine love of theatre and can still rattle off his lines

went to primary school with Peter and didn't know how to say no to him when he asked to join their second year house

gets invited to join the England team at the end of his final year of uni, and is genuinely more excited at the prospect of playing against Remus than he is to play for nationally.

he and Remus become known as a 'dynamic duo' amongst rugby fans, and create a fake twitter rivalry as a laugh, before staging a huge 'reconciliation' in the form of running their own summer training camps for underprivileged and disabled children. Gracie is the first to sign up.

Cross Border Cups With Scotland

How about Saudi Arabia fund a cross border club trophy with teams from Saudi Arabia, Scotland, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, France, North America, Africa and other European nations? Saudi Arabia has wealth, but Scotland has intense passionate supporters. Clubs like Glasgow Celtic, Aberdeen, Glasgow Rangers, Motherwell, Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Dundee, and Dundee United could bring passionate games and lore to Saudi soccer.How about cross border cups for Scottish football. I say a good way for Scottish football to improve is to have cross border trophies on top of domestic and European football.There are an entire host of ideas that could happen. Bring back the Anglo Scottish Cup.Change the Scottish Premiership to a 16 team 30 game league. Then have extra cross border cups.Ideas could include a North Atlantic League Cup. With the top four to 8 SPFL clubs playing a group stage trophy with teams from Europe, Asia, or Africa, or North America, or Saudi Arabia.The Scottish allow Welsh and Northern Ireland club sides in the Scottish Challenge Cup.The Scottish and Welsh Rugby clubs travel to places like South Africa, and Italy. And UEFA soccer has seen Scottish sides travel to Central Asia. So football clubs could travel 5 or 8 times a year to the USA, or Africa. In UEFA trophies Scottish and Welsh sides have been to Central Asia.Other ideas could include having all Scottish Premiership sides not in Europe, plus selected Welsh Cymru Premier club sides, and perhaps Belgian, and North West French sides in the Football League Trophy. There could easily be 16 teams added to the EFL Trophy with a little reorganisation of the trophy to add the new sides.Perhaps all Scots Championsip sides, Welsh Cymru Premier sides, and some North Western French sides in the non-league FA Trophy.

Or a Celtic Nations Club Cup of Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Ulster, Cornish, Cumbria, Brittany, Isle of Man and Yorkshire club sides.Perhaps leading Scottish, Irish, French, Dutch, Belgian or German sides invited as guests into the Engliah FA Cup, or English League Cup.I do not support merging the British leagues, as people would wrongly think Scotland was part of England. And all the Scottish trophies in history would be relegated to the status of lower tier trophies. While all the English trophies would be seen as forerunners of the British trophies. So Scottish clubs would be seen to be reset as having won ZERO trophies. Also 30 trips into England a year might be too much bit 5 to 8 times a year would keep it a novelty and highlight of the season.We need Pan-Great Britain Cups on top of domestic and European football.If we had a British League a club like Dundee could make 25 trips year of up to 800 miles. That would be too tough. It has to be at a manageable number of games.

✧ FAMILY ✧

Father: Barnaby Abernathy O’Donnell-Lee

Born on December 23, 1972, Barnaby was the only child of Cygnus and Rosamund Lee in Kent, England. As he was their only child, they placed high expectations on their son. Barnaby never reached or wanted to reach their expectations, which made his childhood tough and not particularly happy. There was a lot of cold indifference and disappointment within the Lee household. 

In 1984, Barnaby began Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin. He struggled with classes and had a bit of difficulty on the social side as well. He made two friends, who weren’t very good friends, and found that he was often threatening to fight other students. However, that all changed in his third year when he befriended Ryan, Cara, Sara, and Conor O’Donnell. Barnaby began to realize that he didn’t need to have a tough outer shell and could let his soft heart show, saving his toughness for moments that really mattered. 

After Hogwarts, Barnaby began working towards a career in magiozoology. He quickly rose through the ranks, as his knowledge and demeanor when with creatures helped pave a path. He also had the constant support of his girlfriend, and later wife, Sara, who helped him study. By the age of thirty, Barnaby had already started making a name for himself in the world of magiozoology and in 2005, he opened up a creature reserve and rehabilitation center on land that had once belonged to his wife’s family. He loved his career, even though there was a year-long disruption for the second wizarding war.

On June 30, 1997, Barnaby married Sara O’Donnell in a small and private ceremony. Two years later, their eldest daughter, Theodora Ailis, was born on June 6, 1999. Two years after Dora, their eldest son, Declan Ryan, was born on September 1, 2001. Two years after Declan, their youngest daughter, Violet Cara, was born on May 3, 2003. Three years after Violet, their youngest son and child, Brendan Conor, was born on May 17, 2006. 

Declan has a good relationship with his father. He knows that he can always count on Barnaby and Barnaby strives to be a better father than Cygnus ever was, something that he succeeds in. However, Declan and Barnaby struggle to connect. They’re actually quite similar, but they don’t have a ton of interests in common and it’s just hard for Declan and Barnaby to find something to bond over.

Mother: Sara Ailis O’Donnell-Lee

Born on August 18, 1973 at 7:41 pm, Sara was the fourth child of Seán and Ailis O’Donnell. She had one elder brother, Cian, and quadruplet siblings, Ryan, Cara, and Conor. Sara had a rather complicated and sad childhood, losing her parents and grandparents before the age of seven. Those losses meant that Sara and her siblings were then raised by her maternal uncle, a cold and manipulative man. He mostly ignored Sara, Ryan, Cara, and Conor as he mostly manipulated Cian, who felt isolated from his siblings and was drowning in grief. Of course, Cian’s disappearance when Sara was eight complicated matters as well. 

In 1984, Sara began Hogwarts alongside Ryan, Cara, and Conor. She was sorted into Hufflepuff and spent much of her years at Hogwarts entangled in the mystery of the Cursed Vaults. She also became a prefect, made a large group of friends, and began dating her future husband, Barnaby. By the end of her sixth year, the Cursed Vaults mystery was more or less solved and Sara no longer needed to stress over them.

After Hogwarts, Sara began training to be a healer in Leighis Hospital for Magical Maladies and Illnesses. She worked at Leighis for four years, before transferring to St. Mungo’s where she worked for a little less than two years as the second wizarding war drove Sara into hiding and the Order of Phoenix. After the war, she began working at Leighis again and helped her husband begin the process of creating a creature reserve and rehab center on land that had belonged to her maternal family for centuries. 

On June 30, 1997, Sara married Barnaby Lee in a small and private ceremony. Two years later, on June 6, 1999, her eldest daughter, Theodora Ailis, was born. Two years after Dora, on September 1, 2001, her eldest son, Declan Ryan, was born. Two years after Declan was born, her youngest daughter, Violet Cara, was born on May 3, 2003. Three years after Violet, her youngest son and child, Brendan Conor, was born on May 17, 2006. 

Declan has a good relationship with his mother. He knows that he can always count on her for anything, and she never truly pushes him to share something that he’s not comfortable sharing. Declan knows he has a very amazing mother (and father). 

Faceclaim: Elizabeth Henstridge 

Sister: Theodora Ailis “Dora” O’Donnell-Lee

Dora was born on June 6, 1999, making her two years older than Declan. Upon starting Hogwarts, Dora was sorted into Hufflepuff and later went on to become a prefect and headgirl. She never played quidditch. After Hogwarts, Dora becomes a magiozoologist. 

Declan gets along pretty well with his older sister. They fight and argue, but they always come together when it matters. Dora isn’t always impressed by her younger brother, but she loves him and Declan knows that he can count on her to help him out.

Faceclaim: Mina Sundwall

Sister: Violet Cara O’Donnell-Lee

Violet was born on May 3, 2003, making her two years younger than Declan. Upon starting Hogwarts, Violet was sorted into Ravenclaw and she becomes a prefect during her time at Hogwarts. She also plays chaser on her house’s quidditch team for two years. After Hogwarts, Violet becomes a magical veterinarian. 

Declan gets along alright with his younger sister. They tend to argue a lot, but they always come together when it matters. There’s also a bit of a quidditch rivalry between the two as Violet joins her house’s team in Declan’s seventh year. Despite the tensions between the two siblings, Declan knows that he can count on Violet. 

Faceclaim: Sophie Grace

Brother: Brendan Conor O’Donnell-Lee

Brendan was born on May 17, 2006, making him five years younger than Declan. Upon starting Hogwarts, Brendan was sorted into Hufflepuff. He does not play quidditch and he isn’t a prefect, either. After Hogwarts, Brendan becomes a magiozoologist, like his father and oldest sister.

The age gap between Declan and Brendan is big enough that they usually get along fairly well… as long as they aren’t sharing a bedroom. They will fight and argue, but that is mainly when they have to share a bedroom. Declan tries to be a good role model for his little brother, but he often thinks that he falls short of being a good role model for Brendan.

✧ ROMANCE & CHILDREN ✧

Love Interest: Callista Layne “Callie” Black (@mjs-oc-corner)

→ Declan first met Callie Black when they were paired together for a group project in one of their shared classes. A slow-burn-ish friendship began at that moment and things slowly began to tend towards romance, although there was a bit of an “everyone can see it but them” situation going on. By their seventh year, both Declan and Callie finally managed to admit their feelings for one another, albeit with a little bit of prodding and after the quidditch scouting season had ended. They remained together after graduating Hogwarts, with some bumps along the way. They married at the age of 27, in late 2028.

Son: James Michael “Jem” O’Donnell-Lee

Ravenclaw | Beater | Demisexual | b. November 24, 2030

Declan has a good relationship with his son, although there are moments where he struggles to connect with Jem, who takes after Declan’s father and siblings. He’s very proud of his son, though, and does what he can to encourage Jem to follow his dreams and ambitions. Declan loves his son very much.

✧ HISTORY & BACKGROUND ✧

Place of Birth: Leighis Hospital for Magical Illnesses and Maladies, Dublin, Ireland 

Hometown: County Donegal, Ireland 

Childhood: 

Born on September 1, 2001, Declan Ryan O’Donnell-Lee was the second of Sara and Barnaby O’Donnell-Lee’s four children. He joined his older sister, Theodora Ails “Dora,” then two. Over the next eight years, Declan gained two younger siblings, Violet in 2003 and Brendan in 2006, and six cousins, Michael (b. 2003), Winifred (b. 2006), Keira (b. 2003), Seth (b. 2009), Naomi (b. 2009), and Ciaran (b. 2009). 

Declan had a good childhood. His family was always around and they were all very, very supportive. He never really wanted for anything, and knew that he could always count on his family. He spent most of his childhood growing up on the creature reserve and rehab center, gaining a healthy appreciation for creatures and animals. The only deaths that he truly experienced were those of the creatures that lived on the reserve or came to the rehab center. In addition, Declan’s passion for quidditch was born when his uncle Conor gifted him a copy of Quidditch Through the Ages for his fourth birthday. 

At the age of five, after noticing that Declan was struggling with reading and similar tasks, his mother decided that it was prudent to have him tested for dyslexia. His father likely had the same learning disability and as his mother was raised partially by muggles, she was aware of services for speech and language problems that wizards had no knowledge of. After undergoing testing, Declan was diagnosed with dyslexia. Due to Sara’s proactive actions, his family were able to provide him with supports that meant his dyslexia was debilitating and didn’t interfere with his coursework at Hogwarts nearly as much as it could have, allowing him to scrape by with average grades.

Hogwarts Years:

Upon starting Hogwarts, Declan was sorted into Slytherin. In his first year, he made the quidditch team as a reserve seeker and became the starting seeker in his second year. In his sixth year, he was awarded the honor of being Slytherin’s team captain. In addition, Declan also made friends, although very few would become truly close friends. 

During his time at Hogwarts, Declan began to struggle with the fact that the majority of people only seemed to be interested in Declan because of his familial connections. His father was a world-renown magiozoologist, an owner of a one-of-a-kind creature reserve and rehab center. Meanwhile, his mother was one of the famous (or infamous, depending on who you asked) Hogwarts cursebreakers. He really struggled with the fact that many of his early friends were only interested in what Declan could give them and not who Declan himself was. This resulted in Declan being quite wary about friendships and he started to hate being referred to by his surname only. 

In his sixth and seventh years, Declan was scouted by multiple quidditch teams from the British-Irish league. He was offered a spot on the Ballycastle Bats, the Appleby Arrows, and the Falmouth Falcons. Ultimately, he accepted the offer from the Bats, as he would still be able to stay near his family. 

Adulthood:

After graduating from Hogwarts, Declan began playing quidditch for the Ballycastle Bats. He spent his entire 24 year career with the Bats. Over the years, he got a few offers to join other teams, but he ultimately turned them down, happy with where he was with the Bats. At the age of 42, Declan suffered an injury to his shoulder which led to his retirement. 

After retiring, Declan slowly began looking into philanthropic endeavors and finding causes that he was passionate about. As he grew older, he donated time and money to the many causes that he believed were important or close to his heart, including providing quality quidditch supplies to children and students whose families couldn’t afford it. He even gave money to muggle charities. 

Declan also married Callie Black at the age of 27 in late 2028. They had two children together, James Michael and Harper Aurora. James was born on November 24, 2030, while Harper was born on July 19, 2032. 

Old Age: 

Declan spent most of his old age with his philanthropic endeavors and his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. 

Death: 

At the age of 124, in the year 2126, Declan passed away peacefully in his sleep. He lived a very long and fulfilled life and left behind two children, four great-grandchildren, and seven great-great-grandchildren. 

✧ MISCELLANEOUS ✧ 

Favorite Color: Green

Favorite Food: Penne pasta with a side of cheesy garlic bread 

Favorite Drink: Water

Favorite Weather: Snowing, but the sun is still shining 

Favorite Season: Winter

Favorite Book: Quidditch Through the Ages

Favorite Music: R.E.M., The Who, Mumford & Sons, Bastille

Dislikes: Bullies ; crowds ; oranges ; seafood ; blood supremacy ; being compared to his family ; solely being referred to by his surname or “O’Donnell 2” 

Trivia:

Appearance wise, Declan is a blend of his family. He inherited his aunt’s and great-great-grandmother’s red hair, his father’s build, his late grandmother’s eye color, and his mother’s nose. 

Declan’s middle name is after his uncle, Ryan. He is Declan’s mother’s slightly older brother.

Declan often feels that his surname and position as the eldest male cousin is the only thing that matters about him and that no one really cares about who he is beyond that. However, he also feels like he doesn’t have the right to feel frustrated by that because he had a good childhood and two parents who love him a lot. He knows that other people have it worse than he does. In addition, Declan often feels like he’s the odd man out. He’s the youngest person in his year. He’s the only O’Donnell-Lee sibling with red hair and the only one who doesn’t choose to do something with creatures. He’s the only O’Donnell cousin to be a Slytherin. 

Declan has always been secure in his sexuality. Watching his three siblings and four of his cousins struggle with discovering their sexualities are one reason why Declan feels like his issues aren’t real problems and why he keeps them to himself.

When he was a child, Declan almost always had scrapes and scabs on his knees, elbows, hands, and face. He was a bit of a rough and tumble child, who tried to play every sport that interested him.

Declan adores the family dogs. They’re his favorites out of all of the animals and creatures in his family’s life. Murphy the border collie often sleeps in Declan’s bedroom with him.

thoughts from an cailín ciúin, spoilers ig

absolutely gorgeous movie. 10/10

structure and pacing was better than arracht imo (sorry to pit two bad bitches against each other)

noticed the mirroring of cáit seeing the baby and then seeing the body in quick succession. not sure what that was about

bawled my eyes out at the wrong part of the movie because some part of the landscape reminded me of my granny

that one woman was such a bitch. we've all met someone like her but. jesus

i didn't even have to be told that the son died in a slurry pit, i knew from the first time seán yelled at cáit. wasn't there an ulster rugby player who died that way?

the ending??? hello??? it's not like the irish state had robust child protection measures back in the day. there's no way that ends well.

religion as a social pressure rather than a purely faith-based thing. seán doesn't want her to wear the clothes. they don't say the rosary. the plastic prayer beads etc

the amount of old irish tv that plays a part in the narrative.
