From the founding of Irelands first national team in 1875, to the Grand Slam winners of today, 150 years later, acclaimed rugby writer Peter Bills journeys around Ireland to discover what makes Irish rugby the force that it is. Along the way he meets the men and women within whom the great spirit of Irish rugby resides, from the 50-year servant of a small local club out in the wilds of Connemara, to the coach who discovered one of Irelands greatest ever rugby men down in Munster and the official who has filled just about every role imaginable in his local club, from player to coach, club President to groundsman. Whether it be at the Armagh or Coalisland clubs in the north, or Skibbereen and Sundays Well in the south, Bills explores how rugby union in Ireland has overridden sectarianism and division to become the only sport played as a single nation and how Irelands rugby system, in which many great rugby-playing schools feature prominently, has always produced many outstanding, individual world class players. Featuring exclusive interviews with many greats of the Irish game, such as Willie John McBride, Brian ODriscoll, Paul OConnell, Keith Wood, Ronnie Dawson, Mike Gibson, Tony Ward, Ronan OGara, Peter OMahony, current national coach Andy Farrell and many more, Triumphs, Trophies and Troubles is a journey and a celebration, of a game and the people who have embraced it down the years. How they have lived their lives and how the game of rugby has been so integral a part of their souls.

In 2019, the English Premier League introduced the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), a way of using technology to review and correct the on-field referees decisions. Its been a disaster: players hate it, managers hate it, pundits line up to pour scorn on its decisions, and fans have coined the chant its not football any more to describe its effect on the game.Almost every other sport in the world has managed to integrate technology into its decision-making process. Why is football failing so badly? Is it a special case, or have the games authorities got something wrong? And what does the controversy about VAR tell us about the nature of authority, rationality and technology in the 21st century?

In August 2014, Jim Gavins Dubs seemed unstoppable. They were playing football at a level not seen in years overwhelming opposition and seemingly growing stronger with every game.Nobody saw it coming: Donegals beautifully timed semi-final ambush. The Ulstermen laid bare a chink in the Sky Blues armour; a tactical hole which Gavin immediately set about filling.Dublin would not lose a championship game again for 2,540 days Eric Haughan deep-dives into Dublins seven years in footballing nirvana, an era of dominance and drama in which Gaelic football changed forever.Reviewing crucial matches and speaking to players and backroom staff, he pieces together the story of arguably the greatest side the game has ever seen and the teams who tried to catch them.

After first emerging in the 1920s, ladies Gaelic football was soon sidelined; breathless women chasing after a football was just too unladylike for the powers that be.Despite this resistance, the sport became a popular novelty act at local carnivals. And when the Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) was founded in Tipperary in July 1974, fifty years of extraordinary growth were set in motion. From writing the rule book to a membership of nearly 200,000, the earliest All-Stars to game-changing partnerships, this definitive history captures that unstoppable journey to becoming a national sport and so much more.Lavishly illustrated and drawing from national, club and personal archives, UNLADYLIKE is for the players, the fans, the kit-washers, the sandwich-makers and the supporters alike, and confirms the best is yet to come.
