Secret Footballer's Guide to the Modern Game

"Of the 95 per cent of people who love football, only 2 per cent understand it. One of my best friends is a complete fan, sees everything, knows everything. But he has no idea …it’s complicated." - Xavi   The above quote from the Spanish midfield legend introduces this most recent instalment from the mysterious “Secret Footballer”. It’s an articulate, humorous and revealing portrait of the modern professional game that covers a diverse array of subjects, such as the whys and wherefores of tactical formation, fitness, diet and skill-sets, player/manager relationships, the geometry of passing

Éamon de Valera: A Will to Power

A wonderful signing-off from historian Ronan Fanning who passed away in January at the age of 75! Of particular interest here is the analysis of the dynamic between de Valera and the plenipotentiaries (chiefly Griffith and Collins) during the lengthy Treaty negotiations. The author attributes de Valera’s call for a rejection of the terms reached by the delegation to a perceived slight to his authority – implying a combination of petulance and bumbling ineptitude on the part of de Valera. Sidelined in the ensuing conflict, Fanning charts his rise from the political wilderness and his emergence

Judging Dev

Using previously unpublished letters, documents and photographs, the book reassesses the life and legacy of Eamon de Valera. Honest and unbiased, it debunks some of the lazy stereotypes we’ve come to accept about one of Ireland’s most important historic figures.

Fates and Furies

A novel of two halves, the story of a marriage told by the husband and then the wife, this book becomes really enjoyable in the second half when the perspective suddenly changes.

Red Queen

This book is about an alternative universe where society is split up into two different classes, red blooded and silver blooded. Silver blooded people are more superior to red blooded people. They are royalty and they have special super powers unlike the red blooded that are treated very poorly in comparison. This story follows a girl called Mare Barrow who is red blooded. She discovers that she has silver abilities but how long before others find out? What would happen then? I would highly recommend this book to anybody who enjoys dystopian and fantasy books. It’s a great read
