The stadium, which will also host a number of group stage and knockout matches, was built by theShanghai Construction Group at the behest of Beijing. In 2010 Gabon’s autocratic president Ali Bongo received Chinese officials including Vice Minister Fu Ziying- who put down the foundation stone.

CAF- the African governing body- had threatened to take the competition away from Gabon because of a delay in the construction process. So Gabon invited the Chinese in and they duly completed the stadium in 20 months, instead of the planned 26.

And as if that wasn’t enough, China paid for the entire stadium project and also announced a €2 million ‘aid’ package to fund Gabonese health and educational facilities. This ‘aid’ is, of course, free money, as opposed to the conditional loans often given by Western donors to African states.

The investment in the Stade d’Angondjé (or, to give it its official title in French, “Stade d’amitié sino-gabonaise”) is just one of a number of stadiums China has agreed to build in Africa- a 50,000 seater stadium (a €38 million project) in the Guinean capital Conakry is another example.

Football stadiums are among the most visible manifestations of Chinese investment in Africa, but Chinese forays into the continent go far beyond the pitch. African roads, schools, hospitals and colleges are all being funded by China.

But why? The most popular answer lies in China’s attempts to displace the USA as the world’s dominant superpower. The kind of ‘soft power’ friendship that Chinese money buys in Africa is an invaluable public relations device for the booming nation. Where America’s reputation is on the slide due to financial turmoil and the ongoing war on terror, China has astutely built up its reputation as a benevolent and stable force.

It’s quite easy to view their investment as part of China’s plan for world domination. But is it fair? Africans seem quite happy with all this investment- a recent Afrobarometer survey (see the full paperhere) shows that most Africans view Chinese investment as very positive and see China as one of the countries which help them the most.

The Sierra Leonean ambassador to Beijing summed up the feelings toward Africa well when he said“The Chinese are doing more than the G8 in making poverty history. If a G8 country had wanted to rebuild the stadium, we’d still be here holding meetings. The Chinese just come and do it.”

Race Against The Machine: How the Digital Revolution is Accelerating Innovation, Driving Productivity, and Irreversibly Transforming Employment and the Economy is a credible attempt to bring together mainstream thinking about the affect of technological progress on jobs. It’s been something I’ve thought about recently, especially since I read Bill Easterly’s The Elusive Quest For Growth. Easterly primarily deals with the role of technology in development, but in Race Against the Machine, Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee look specifically at the question of technology displacing workers from traditional work.

You’ve probably heard about the Luddites of the 19^th Century, who smashed their mechanised looms because they thought it would mean less work for them. The same concept, Brynjolfsson and McAfee argue, can be seen today in the displacement of many people from their jobs by automated and computer-guided systems. They even throw in some scary stories about how advanced computers are getting- so advanced that they’re more than capable of matching humans at almost anything.

Yes, there is a place for human intuition in today’s working world, but the general idea of this book is that although initially technology may cause some job losses, eventually it replaces them and in turn creates new ones. The authors also apply Moore’s Law to job creation and technology.

I found Race Against the Machine to be a very accessible read (for someone who has little formal economics education) and one which I think most people will enjoy. If you have a Kindle, the Kindle edition is available for a measly $3.99.

Chinese was initially the language which I thought would be most useful to my work- China being a superpower and increasingly influential in development policy. But the Chinese class required me to attend five classes a week (not to mention independent learning)- which left me very little time for work on other subjects.

So, I settled for Spanish. It’s not as intensive as Chinese (two classes a week) and I’ve always had a love for Spanish cinema. Although classes are great to go to, and probably the best way of learning Spanish, I have a few handy things I do outside of class to help me learn Spanish.

1. Listen to Podcasts

I mainly listen to Coffee Break Spanish from the Radio Lingua Network on my iPod Touch. It starts off at a very basic level but builds itself up quickly to include some more advanced grammar. I also find it short enough to be able to remember everything, but not too short that you’d have to listen to a few in one sitting to get anything from them. There’s heaps of other podcasts out there too, if that’s not to your liking.

2.Watch Spanish films

As I’ve already said, I love Spanish cinema. Watching films is a great way to build up vocabulary while enjoying yourself. There’s been loads of great films coming out of Spain, particularly in recent years. Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In was in cinemas recently and should be out on DVD soon. I’d recommend seeing that, particularly if you like psychological thrillers. Other recommendations (just a few): Che Part 1 & 2 and Biutiful.

3.Watch football with Spanish commentary

Again, something I’m interested in. The commentary is super-fast, but you can see what they’re talking about and I’ve been surprised with how much I’ve understood. Plus, it’s a great excuse to watch football. You can get Spanish language streams for any La Liga/Primera Division match (as well as most big English, Italian or German ones and loads from Latin America) over on lshunter.tv.

4.Use Google Translate to your advantage

Read stuff you’re interested in online, whether that’s news, politics, sport or film reviews, and then translate it via Google Translate into English in a separate tab. Although Google Translate isn’t perfect, you should be able to get the jist of it in English. Read as far as you can, and when you don’t understand a word, at least you have a reference point there beside you.

Obviously, the best way to practice would be to actually speak with other people. I don’t know many Spanish-speakers, and I can’t yet afford to travel, so I’m restricted to my classmates, but I’d also recommend charlar.

First I got a cold. Well I thought I did anyway. Then it started to turn into headaches and gradually into vomiting. The pain from the headaches was so intense as to make me vomit and reduce me to crawling on the floor.

Playing rugby was a no-go then. I had only begun playing it after starting in secondary school and had really only started to enjoy it. Templeogue was sport-mad, so not being able to play rugby was like being kicked out of the ‘gang’.

Soon enough though, it wasn’t just rugby I wasn’t able to do. Getting sick went from every week to every day and then every three or four hours. I missed a lot of school, but I still convinced myself in my head that it was nothing that serious. It was just a bug, I said. Just one of those vomiting bugs, I probably got it from eating something dodgy.

But something was always there, at the back of my mind. A lingering thought that maybe this was a bit more than an infection. I went to A & E in Crumlin Hospital one night and was promptly sent home. “It’s migraine,” the doctor said, “and you’ll just have to learn to live with it.”

I knew it wasn’t migraine and so did my Mam. But the doctor was pretty emphatic in her insistence that I be sent home. She scheduled an appointment with a neurologist for the following March. If I had waited for that appointment, I probably wouldn’t be writing this today.

My GP prescribed me some migraine tablets and for about a week I wasn’t sick at all, oddly enough. But that was just a lull, soon enough I was back to vomiting three or four times a day and crying with the pain of the headaches. I lost my appetite completely and became lethargic- I just didn’t want to do anything.

Often I would wake up in the dead of night and vomit. I missed a lot of school as the headaches grew more intense. My prevailing image of that time is leaning over a toilet bowl, hoping that I could vomit so that the pain would go away.

Another image which sticks out in my memory comes from New Year’s Eve. My family had gone to my grandparents’ house to ring in the New Year- 2003. As the bells rang out and the people out on the street began to sing, I was out in the back garden vomiting. I thought I was going to collapse that night.

That was when I really realised it was serious. My Mam went and booked a private appointment for me to see a neurologist- Doctor Webb. Only thanks to her pleading for an appointment, and a lucky cancellation, did I get one.
It came to the time of the appointment and I went along with my Mam and Dad to Crumlin

Hospital. First I saw Doctor Webb, who then sent me for a CAT scan. A CAT scan basically involves you being shoved through a giant doughnut-shaped scanner- it ranks as the easiest of all the scans I had. Doctor Webb sent me home for an hour or two over lunch, then brought me back.

The diagnosis was the lowest part of my entire illness. I was told to wait outside in an empty waiting room while my parents were given my diagnosis. My Dad then came out and brought me in to the room where my Mam was sobbing. Behind Doctor Webb there was a scan of my brain with a big white blotch on it. That was the brain tumour.

I didn’t really know what a tumour was, so I just sort of thought of it as a blister in my brain. And
what do you do with a blister? You pop it. Easy, eh? Dr Webb sent us out to Beaumont- a place
which seemed like it was a thousand miles away. I had never been remotely near Beaumont
Hospital before, we had to stop and ask for directions on the way.

In the car that day, I just kept thinking about it. There was a thing in my head, a big thing, but I
couldn’t feel it. Yet apparently it was causing me to have headaches and get sick- it made no sense to me.

We eventually got to Beaumont and I was sent up to St. Raphaels Ward- the children’s ward. I was hungry, but the nurses said I had to fast in case they wanted to operate on my head straight away. Someone said that this was going to be a big operation- but it still hadn’t dawned on me.

The operation didn’t happen straight away- I had to wait about a week. I was sent for more
scans and eye tests and it seemed like a different friend or relative was with me every second
of every day. I was told that I wouldn’t be able to eat the day before my operation- so I ate
everything I could find in the days leading up to it.

That day eventually came and only then did the enormity of what I was facing hit me. They were
going to cut open my head, reach inside and pull this thing out. Then they’d have to sew my head back up again. And on top of that, they’d only shave the back of my head, giving me a really ridiculous hairstyle.

I watched Bargain Hunt with my parents and grandparents and then the doctors came for me. I got scared. Looking back, I thought I was grown up but I was still only a child. I cried as the put the anaesthetic on me. My Mam cried too, that was the last thing I remember.

The next thing, I woke up with a tube down my throat and the theme tune to Coronation Street
in my ears. I was back in the ward and I felt crap. I think I vomited a few times, but it was hard to
know with a tube down my throat sucking everything away.

Recovery was tough. I couldn’t sit upright, because the tumour had affected the balance, vision and vomiting parts of my brain. Needless to say, walking wasn’t an option either. I also couldn’t see at all for about a week, as my optic nerves were damaged in the operation, or eat. I had a big tube in the back of my head draining away all the excess fluid from my head. That was removed after a few days- meaning I have a round mini-scar just to the left of the big one which
runs down my neck.

If I hadn’t been operated on that day, there was a good chance that the tumour would have travelled down my spine. If it had, I could have been paralysed and left unable to walk again. I should have felt lucky, but I kept asking the same question: When can I play rugby again?

The doctors said I never would be able to again. A knock to the head could cause serious brain damage. I wasn’t just barred from rugby, it was all contact sports. This broke my heart and took years and years to come to terms with.

I was a boy who dreamed of walking out on Lansdowne Road and Croke Park. A lot of boys have these dreams- holding out that maybe someday the Ireland manager would give them a call and tell them to get their boots on. It wouldn’t ever happen, but you could still dream about it. I couldn’t anymore.

After a few weeks in hospital, I was on the mend. My eyesight came back and I learned to walk again. Gradually I was able to eat more too and eventually I went home. It took a few months of half days to get the strength to go back to school and a lot longer to get used to people staring at my scar, but eventually things went back to normal.

I had a great second year of school. I went to Germany and America on tours and caught up fairly easily on what I missed in first year. But I was still recovering the whole time- mentally and physically.

My Junior Cert year and all the accompanying nerves came soon enough. I still had to go for regular check-ups and it was on one of these in 2005 that I was diagnosed for the second time with a brain tumour.

My surgeon, Dr. Daniel Rawluk, saw me and showed me the scan. All the memories of the first scan came rushing back- the black-and-grey scan of my brain with the big white blob in the middle.

This time I was two years older and stronger. Physically it was easier to come back from but mentally much tougher. I had to deal with most of what I went through the first time- but initially my biggest fear was that I wouldn’t be able to sit my Junior Cert.

This time my biggest obstacle was overcoming self-doubt. The night before my operation I
questioned everything. I asked myself why I got a tumour in the first place and then a second
one. I didn’t sleep that night, I just stayed up thinking. I was also far more scared this time,
maybe because I knew how hellish the early stages of recovery were.

I got through it though, this time I was only actually in hospital for ten days. I went back to school sooner too, and even did some of my mocks. I did my Junior Cert and went on into transition year.

The longing to play sport never stopped. Playing sport was a big part of my life before I got sick, but I’ve found ways to fill the gap. Now I work as a sports reporter, which allows me to obsess over sport all I want.

I can’t say that I regret anything though, because any of the things which happened to me have only made me a bit stronger. It’s not that I’d recommend going out and having brain tumours, but hey, it’s not all bad.

But the Bray “surprise package” is widely believed to be a flimsy one- even their manager Pat Devlin acknowledged that the real battle for them this season is against relegation. The real “surprise package”, if you could call them that, has been Derry City. Derry won promotion from the first division last season with a young squad and this season sit in third having lost just one match from eight.

Bray’s early league success may be based on shaky foundations, but not so for Derry. Stephen Kenny has quietly built a squad with considerable depth and talent for a promoted side. The talented youth players like Patrick McEleney, David McDaid and Daniel Lafferty have been complemented by proven players like Gareth McGlynn, Ruadhri Higgins and Libyan international striker Eamonn Zayed. Derry boast a midfield which can match any in the league, a solid defence and goalkeeper and a striker in Eamonn Zayed who excels at leading the line.

Key to their success have been their attacking players like McGlynn, Zayed and McEleney. Players like Kevin Deery and Ruadhri Higgins allow McGlynn and McEleney to go forward from midfield and help out Zayed – who operates equally as well as a poacher or as a link player.

Their weakness may be in a lack of strength in depth when compared with Shamrock Rovers or Sligo Rovers, but Derry could feasibly aim for a European spot this season- an achievement made all the more remarkable considering the trouble they were in just two seasons ago, when they were demoted after illegal payments were made to players. Their main rivals for a shot at qualification for the Europa League should probably be Dundalk, St. Pats and possibly Bohemians. Out of those four, all suffer from the same problem as Derry- simply not having the resources to match Rovers’ big squad.

Derry’s resurgence, though, should give hope to to clubs like Cork City, Shelbourne, Waterford and Longford who had extended spells in the top flight but now find themselves chasing promotions. The Candystripes have shown that the gap is not too great between the two divisions and with solid investment, the right tactics and ambition promoted clubs can go far.

Paisley scored the equalising goal with a powerful header from a Conan Byrne corner on 14 minutes to cancel out an early David Lodola goal. From there, Shels never really looked back with Philly Hughes sending them into the half-time break 2-1 leaders over their North Dublin rivals. Paisley looked a constant aerial threat in attack, something which he acknowledges as a strong point of his game. “I suppose I’m a bit of a threat from set-pieces, I’m always trying to get on the end of them” he said. “It’s always nice to get a few goals earlier in the season.”

“I think the goal was a bit fortunate on their behalf, it took a deflection and caught our ‘keeper as he was going the wrong way” Paisley said of Bohs opener- a Robert Bayly shot which took a wicked deflection off David Lodola. “He [Shels 'keeper Paul Skinner] did well to try and get a hand to it but it was just too big a deflection. It tested our character early on and I think a lot of lads stood up and were counted on the night.”

Barry Clancy doubled the Shels lead on 59 minutes, only for Bohs to claw one back through Robert Bayly eight minutes later. Clancy made sure of the win by scoring his second goal of the evening with five minutes remaining. Paisley says that playing against Bohs was a useful barometer of where this Shels team is at, and he says he hopes to be playing them more regularly in the near future. “We need to play against teams of the calibre of Bohs week in week out” the centre-back said. “It’s always nice to have a cup run and get the confidence up. There’s always the chance of winning some silverware too, but our number one focus is the league. That’s where our priority is.”

They may be clichéd at this stage, but they’re hardly unwarranted- the striker has had twelve clubs to date in an eleven-year career in senior Irish football, beginning with Tolka Rovers in 1999.  After starting out at the Glasnevin junior club, Hughes has been at St. Pats, Kilkenny City, Kildare County (three times), Dublin City, UCD, Mongahan United (twice), Dundalk and Shels (twice).

“I’m always on the move” says Hughes. But, he says, he wouldn’t change his experience in football. “It just sort of happened that way. I’ve met a lot of great people along the way though. I’ve wanted to settle down and stay at one club, but for one reason or another it’s just never happened that way. “

He has had a dozen clubs, but which one is closest to Philly Hughes’ heart? His first break into the League of Ireland came with St. Pats, and Hughes confesses that he still holds a candle for Shels’ crosstown rivals. “I started at Pats, so I’ve always liked them,” he admits. “But my first time at Shels [under Dermot Keely in 2008] was a special time, they’re a special club.”

One club that will hold a special place in its history for Hughes is Kildare County.  Philly had three stints at the now-defunct Thoroughbreds, including one in 2009- in what turned out to be the club’s last season in football.

The club’s last-ever game- against Shels at Station Road on the final day of the 2009 season- was held in turbulent circumstances. The Board of Management, along with manager Joey Summerville, stepped down before the match. Hughes came in at the last minute and acted as player-manager for the 5-1 defeat- with Trevor Bowers scoring the club’s final goal. After the match, County were wound up- with Hughes and his teammates left clubless.

“It was a sad time” says the striker. “We hadn’t been paid in a while and the manager had kind of let us down a bit.” County ran out in an unfamiliar strip for the match, after the management team had taken their home kit, explains Hughes. “We ended up wearing the Newbridge Town under 15s kit, but we were always going to play the match- we really didn’t want to let the league down.”

Since then, Hughes hasn’t looked back. Mick Cooke signed him for Monaghan United last season, and Hughes played a big part in the Magic Mons’ season that saw them narrowly miss out on promotion to the Premier Division. “I scored 14 league goals, so that wasn’t a bad return for me. Fitness has always been a problem for me, so it was just good to be playing regularly at that level again.”

Towards the end of what was a landmark season for Monaghan, Hughes reached a milestone- his hundredth goal in senior competitive football. But it’s not quite clear when the milestone was reached, with the official tally standing at 103. But the striker, Romario-style, thinks the true tally might stand at a few goals more. “My Da was watching the Sligo match [Monaghan’s 2010 EA Sports Cup final meeting with the Bit O’Red] and they said on the telly that I was on 99 goals, I’ve scored a few since then plus the three this season. It’s a nice feeling to be past 100 goals though” says Hughes.

One thing that stands out when looking at his record at Mons last season is his partnership up front with current Shels teammate Karl Bermingham. Hughes and Bermingham, along with Barry Clancy, made the switch to Shels in the close season- and Hughes says that having Bermingham and Clancy around again has helped him settle down. “I know a lot of lads around the league, but yeah it’s been good having Barry and Karl around. I’ve really settled in well” Hughes said. “But I don’t think we’ve really hit the heights we’re capable of yet” he admits.

Does he think that Shels could be the club that he finally settles at?  Hughes is certainly optimistic about his future with the Reds. “Hopefully the club can go up and be back up in the Premier Division where it belongs. Not only back up there, but challenging for titles as well.”

 Article originally published in the Shelbourne matchday programme for the EA Sports Cup match against Bohemians.

The Reds got off to a great start, with David Cassidy scoring after just three minutes. Philly Hughes did well down the right side of the Monaghan penalty area to find the space for a pass to Cassidy. All that remained for Cassidy to do was stroke the ball low past the outstretched and out-of-place Gabriel Sava from close to the penalty spot for his fourth league goal of the season.

Shels could have had a second goal two minutes later, Hughes again setting up Cassidy, who this time struck the crossbar with a powerful strike. After that, the game became an increasingly open one. Paul Whelan had a half chance for Monaghan after 19 minutes, his close range shot deflecting just wide for a corner. Just before the half hour mark Whelan was booked after a scuffle with Shels captain David McGill.

After their strong start, Shels allowed their opponents back into the match gradually. Declan O’Brien rounded Shels ‘keeper Dean Delany on 33 minutes, but his shot ended up coming off his own player and bobbling wide for a goal kick. O’Brien did well to win the ball in several aerial challenges and flick the ball on, but Mons couldn’t connect possession with shots on target.

That all changed just before half time though. After a fine Monaghan passing move, the ball came to Sean Brennan in a central position on the edge of the Shels box. Brennan looked up and struck the ball low and hard past Dean Delany, whose vision was somewhat blocked, to cap a superb Mons attacking move.

The home side emulated their start to the first half with a strong start in the second. After 48 minutes, their lead was restored through winger Brendan McGill. On the counter, David Cassidy found McGill with a superb pinpoint cross. McGill nudged ahead of his marker, amid suspicions of offside, to flick the ball past Gabriel Sava. The first half became a mirror image of the first though, with the Reds quickly relinquishing their upper hand in the possession stakes.

Kevin Dawson could have extended the Shels lead on 54 minutes, hitting the inside of the Mons crossbar, but it was Mons who were to score next. On 67 minutes, some slack Shelbourne defending let John Reilly have too much space down the side of the Reds penalty area. Reilly strolled closer in to the Shels goal before crossing to Brennan, who had an easy tap in to score.

Monaghan had much of the play afterwards, and took the lead with 13 minutes remaining. More sloppy Shels defending let Declan O’Brien in alone on Dean Delany, and Fabio coolly lobbed a bouncing ball over the Shels ‘keeper for 3-2. Monaghan wanted to keep the ball and see the match out, but a frantic end to the match made for heart-in-mouth viewing. Lorcan Fitzgerald hit the crossbar with a 30 yard shot with three minutes left, and Shels almost scored on the rebound. The match grew even more frantic, and in added time, Declan O’Brien received a second yellow card for holding back Colm James. Monaghan held out though, and came away from Tolka Park with what could be a very valuable win.

UCD haven’t won since the first round of the season, when they beat Drogheda United 1-0 at Hunky Dorys Park, and Russell says that their under-par form since then has been down to a lack of “good attacking play”.

“If you don’t get shots on goal, if you don’t make the ‘keeper work hard enough you don’t deserve to win” said Russell. “I’m disappointed, and the group are disappointed. They didn’t do themselves any justice tonight and I think Bohemians were the better team.”

Asked whether he would put the loss down to a bad playing surface, Russell acknowledged that the pitch was a problem saying UCD were “aware of it” and went on to say that they have “asked for it to be improved and there’s work being done on it. We feel that we have to move the ball… It’s not an excuse for tonight, we didn’t deserve to win tonight. I don’t want to cover that up.”

The blame for the loss was put squarely on his team’s shoulders, and Russell said that he was “disappointed, and the group are disappointed. They didn’t do themselves any justice tonight and I think Bohemians were the better team. They [Bohemians] deserved to win, they had the better play and they were more effective” continued Russell. “We were not at the races today.”

Thomas Boyle and Dean Marshall came on at half time, with the Students 1-0 down, and Russell said that they gave the team some hope. “Going into the second half we felt that possibly [we could come back into the match].” Still, an Anto Flood goal sealed the win for Bohs with ten minutes left, and for Russell the reasons for the loss were simple. “If you don’t get shots on goal, if you don’t make the ‘keeper work hard enough you don’t deserve to win.”

UCD played with a more standard 4-4-1-1 formation against Bohs, after lining out with two holding midfielders the week before against Dundalk. Russell says that a change in shape is something that his side must look at if they are to start scoring. “You look at everything when you’re trying to win. Shots on goal is one of the things you’d look at.”

Those two midfielders might be the key to those elusive goal. Robbie Creevy and Paul Corry in the centre are urged to push up the pitch more, says Russell. “They’re encouraged [to go forward], they’re always encouraged- even in the shape we played in tonight. We just didn’t have enough good attacking play tonight. I don’t think that was to do with the shape, I think it was more to do with the quality of our passing and movement.”

Russell’s young side won promotion in 2009 and achieved safety last year in the Premier Division with a strong squad including players like Ciaran Kilduff and Greg Bolger. But their success came at a price, as Russell recognises. “We were a victim of our own success last year [because] the players got noticed and got offered stuff elsewhere. They did well this year, with this group it may take a bit longer.”

But how long will College fans have to wait for the current crop of youngsters in the UCD squad to gel? “This group will probably take a bit longer than the last group” says Russell. “It’ll take a while. It depends how quickly individuals learn from the games, that’s why we keep telling them that it’s a great learning place for them. We go to Pats next week, Sligo Rovers then Shamrock Rovers. For the ones that go at it, if they attack it they’ll learn. But we have to be patient to a degree as well.”
