With all this talk about Ipswich Town, I remembered yet another rare pair.

Michael Carrick & Kieran McKenna.

U14s win the Albert Phelan Cup National!

Like the U18s, the United U14s have dominated the north and gone on to claim the national trophy. Vive la Carrington 🔥

United ran out 2-0 winners against Millwall at Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium, with a brilliant lobbed finish from Kai Rooney for the first. A stunning run from his own half by Edson DeJonge-Seiros saw him shirk challenges to slot home a low finish past the Millwall goalkeeper and seal the win for Manchester United.

Unfortunately, as is the way with these sorts of youth games and limited attendances, there is little in the way of footage, but both goals - as well as celebrations - can be found on socials with a quick look.

Like with the northern final, Jacey Carrick and his dad Michael were pictured after the win, but this team has a more notable family name than Carrick or Rooney in the midst. IBRAGIMOV.

In this game it was Gazik Ibragimov; the captain and defender who has an Instagram post of him slide tackling a City forward with the tag "We don't play ballet here". This little fucker is a younger brother of Amir Ibragimov; LW/CAM for the u16s side and already being fast-tracked into first team training.

Maybe in two years time we'll be seeing Amir in the first team setup and talking about youngest brother Mo - a striker - having bagged the winning goal to get United another youth title. Regardless, this is a family of hot prospects, and there's a steely determination about all three (perhaps because of their MMA figher oldest brother and a driven father?) that promises some grit and fight that United's first team lack but is evidently paying dividends in the academy setup.

May they continue to develop well and have a real shot at becoming first team players because it would be WILD to have Kai Rooney, Jacey Carrick, the Fletcher twins, and the Ibragimov brothers all playing in that main United side. Family FC, and all via the academy route. Up the fucking reds.

Honestly miss those days and this triumvirate.

How Can Middlesbrough Escape Their Bad Form? - Opinion

The 2023/24 season has started in the worst possible way for Middlesbrough but with the club rooted to the bottom of the Championship, how can they bounce back and turn themselves into promotion contenders once again? Michael Carrick’s men are bottom of the Championship despite Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday and remain one of three sides that are still without a victory in the…

#OTD in 1906 – Death of Michael Cusack, Founder of the GAA.

Cusack was an Irish teacher and founder of the Gaelic Athletic Association. A romantic nationalist, who was associated with the Fenian movement. He was active in the Gaelic revival: a member of the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language which was founded in 1876, and later the Gaelic League who in 1879 broke away from the Society. Also in 1879, Cusack met Pat Nally, who was a member…

Grey Reflections: Episode 42—Once Upon A Time…

If you would like to “Buy Me a Glass of Wine,” you can click this link or the ***DONATE*** link at the bottom of the menu on the left. Okay, fine. No exfoliated asses in this chapter! It’s that time again, America. If you fall under ANY of the Federal Protected Classes or if you have loved ones that fall under any of those classes—I personally fall under SEVERAL of those classes, but if we don’t…

My resolution for 2022 was pretty simple - all I wanted was to keep track of the books I read over the course of the year. I tracked them all over on Instagram as I finished each book, and last night I finished book #24 (ETA I was able to get one more book in for 2022 and added it to the list).

Nearly all of these books were found through the Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy database, which is an excellent resource for finding books with prominent queer characters. Some of them are just from authors I already liked, but happened to have queer characters anyway, which was nice. I think books 10, 11, 17, and 23 are the only ones that don't have explicitly queer representation, though I have seen people online suggesting that the protags of 17 and 23 are aro/ace.

I also was able to get nearly all of these books through my local library, as well (technically, I could include the two books I already owned, since they are both rereads that I got originally from the library).

So here's the list all in one place, with some notes on them if I feel like it.

The Stone Sky, by N. K. Jemisin

Blackfish City, by Sam J. Miller - I kind of want to read more cyberpunk like this

The Raven Tower, by Ann Leckie - this had a ton of elements that are extremely my jam, and I enjoyed reading this book a lot.

The Mask of Mirrors, by M. A. Carrick

Magic For Liars, by Sarah Gailey

Call Down the Hawk, by Maggie Stiefvater

Karen Memory, by Elizabeth Bear

Red-Stained Wings, by Elizabeth Bear

Together We Will Go, by J. Michael Straczynski - JMS has been destroying me emotionally since high school. I loved this book, but I needed something much, much lighter afterward.

The Sorceress and the Cygnet, by Patricia A. McKillip - this, and its sequel, are favorites of mine since middle school. I realized during this re-read that the character of Lauro Ro might be read as being aromantic, though I think it would be hard to say definitively.

The Cygnet and the Firebird, by Patricia A. McKillip

The Queens of Innis Lear, by Tessa Gratton

The First Sister, by Linden A. Lewis

In the Ravenous Dark, by A. M. Strickland - this book was probably the most horny of all the books I read this year. I liked it, but damn is it horny.

The Collapsing Empire, by John Scalzi - Scalzi's so reliable for me. The Interdependency Cycle books are just my flavor of sci-fi.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, by V. E. Schwab

Middle Game, by Seanan McGuire

The Black God's Drums, by P. Djèlí Clark

When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain, by Nghi Vo - this and The Black God's Drums are both closer to novellas, but I'm still counting them. When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain was excellent, and I read it in one sitting while at the laundromat.

Winter's Orbit, by Everina Maxwell - it took a bit for me to get into, but I dug it - my kind of sci-fi, but not quite as much of a popcorn read as Scalzi, if you get my meaning. A bit heavier.

This Golden Flame, by Emily Victoria

Iron Widow, by Xiran Jay Zhao - one of the best books I read this year, this absolutely ruled.

Not Even Bones, by Rebecca Schaeffer

The Consuming Fire, by John Scalzi

Full Fathom Five, by Max Gladstone
