Keep Her Floodlit

Soccer as gaeilge!

Noel O’Toole writes:

As part of its ongoing campaign to raise funds for its new Astroturf pitch, Bearna na Forbacha  [County Galway Gaeltacht-based] soccer club have made a video to help raise funds for floodlights on the new facility.

Titled At Night our Dreams Come out to Play, and Hashtagged #Gizalight, the opening voice-over for the Conamara-based club states ‘our Summers here are glorious, but Winter nights are long…’

The 90 second short film features the juvenile teams training under their hopefully soon to be replaced temporary lights.

The voice-over, in both Irish and English, goes on to say ‘But it’s at night our dreams come out to play, let’s light up these dreams!’

Troid!

      FOR

      The Battle FOR Winterfell

      I know everyone
      Says Of

      But clearly twas the

      The Battle FOR Winterfell

      Christ only knows how she’s gonta knock off Cersie
      But I wouldn’t be surprised if Ser Jaime breaks all our hearts when it goes down

          Ha, good one Nidgie

          But ya know
          I watched it again last night on the telly in the front room
          Mad yoke now – the size of a patio door

          And you could see them all go down
          And then after

          Especially when the eyes lit up blue

          Feckin savage
          That bit that saw the Dothraki get squelched out was very powerful
          But c’mere
          My favourite bit is still the bit when the dragon tries to take off
          And shake off
          All the Wights

          And watching the Unsullied re-Position themselves
          In formation
          Brilliant

            It was packed with epic. I gave up on tight plotting and realistic warfare a while ago and now judge GoT seasons by the amount of times I cringe at embarrasing efforts at sex stuff or tedious storylines, but three epsiodes in, minumum of cringe so far. Deus Ex Arya ruled, while poor ol’ Jon Snow desperately trying to GET TO THE CLIMACITC BIT BUT THERE”S A ZOMBIE ICE DRAGON IN THE WAY was sweet.

            I have a bone to pick with Jon Snow for just ABANDONING the dragon.

            Otherwise, I plan on trying myself up in knots on a rewatch tomorrow night.

            Broke my heart, but the Little Bear went out like a boss. Legend.

            I also throoughly approve of resolving the big supernatural evil at this point with the complex human problems still waiting to mess everything up. The main thing I’m worried about is they’ll go too dark and cynical for the ending just because, which would be just as unsatisfying as an umambiguous happily-ever-after.

            I reckon

            Jaime will break all our hearts

            Yer ‘wan will take poison and Jaime will find her
            And swallow what ever she took
            Take her hand …..

            Sum’ting Shakespearean anyway

            Or

            She’ll be out in front of a dragon
            He’ll run in to take her hand
            And they’ll burn out
            Together

            Jaime will be the last scene

            And Cork t’ do the 3 in a row

            So long as the Clegane brothers find a way to work out their differences constructuvely and meaningfully, I shall be satisfied.
