    Not as bad a read as I was expecting, but book of the year? Absolutely not. Not even GAA book of the year. Some good insights all the same.

    Havent read it yet but heard it's a great read alright.

    Apparently that's more down to Humphries though than himself

    Humphries does these type of things really well, and he definitely did a good job here. As I already stated, I wasn't expecting a whole lot from the book but it was a decent read and good to get some inside perspective of that team at that time.

    Still not deserving of book of the year though!!

    Yea any sport books that get into the psychology aspect usually make for good reading.

    Heard the least interesting part is about the main "issue" too. Although that is ground-breaking in its own right, so fair play
