Elegant Rathgar five-bed with an Italian influence for €2.6m
Address : Foggia, 180 Orwell Road, Rathgar, Dublin 14 Price : €2,600,000 Agent : Sherry FitzGerald View this property on Foggia at 180 Orwell Road in Rathgar is named after the Italian province where Padre Pio resided until he died in 1968. The owners of the Dublin 14 house, who have lived there for nearly 50 years, have always felt an affinity to the saint. Originally built in 1949, number 180 has been extended by the owners and refurbished many times over. With a floor area of 262sq m (2,820sq ft), the house now has five bedrooms and four bathrooms. It is currently on the market with Sherry FitzGerald , seeking €2.6 million. Set well back off the road and entered via electronic gates, the detached house is as private as a city home can feel. The gravelled front driveway with mature trees and hedges all around has parking for at least four cars. The veranda-style porch has rustic sandstone tiles that look like they too have an Italian influence. To the right of the tiled hallway are the livingrooms. These consist of a drawingroom that runs into a family room, which in turn opens into the kitchen that has pocket doors to the diningroom. The owner says the rooms were deliberately laid out like this to ensure one room flows into the other, making the house conducive to entertaining. READ MORE 'Going back to the 1970s when we extended the house, it was unusual to opt for open plan,' she says. 'We decided to go with pocket doors so we can keep it all open or close rooms off when needed. We wanted the kids to be able to bring their friends around and have their own space. It's been a great party house, from Christmas to anniversaries and engagements to graduations.' Self-contained living space On the other side of the house through an inner hallway is a self-contained apartment of sorts. In a large, well-lit dual-aspect room there is a fitted kitchen with a dining and living area, and doors out to the garden. Off this is a bedroom and shower room. Upstairs there are four more double bedrooms. The principal bedroom comes with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room. The main bathroom has a Jacuzzi bath and separate shower cubicle. Entrance hall Family room Kitchen Diningroom Family room looking out to garden Rear patio Garden The rear garden can be accessed from the kitchen or the family room. This south-facing oasis is both tranquil and thriving, with the only sounds coming from birdsong. Covering approximately 0.13 hectares (0.33 acres), it has a sandstone patio with a dining area that is set out beneath a covered pergola. A lush lawn is bordered by an abundance of trees, plants and flowers, with an archway leading to a shed and storage area. [ Villa-style Rathgar home combines period and modern style for €2.495m Opens in new window ] The exterior of the double-glazed windows and door frames are in the shade Card Room Green by Farrow and Ball and sit perfectly against the greens of the garden. Inside the house, the design is classical and the palette neutral so new owners could move in without too much fuss. It has a D1 Ber and uses gas-fired central heating. For the current owner, it will be difficult to say goodbye to Foggia, although she has nothing but good memories of her family's time there. 'It's a family home, so it's time for us to move on and allow another family to move in. I have to say, though, I'm still madly in love with it after all these years.'

Temple land row should be resolved by endowments tribunal: HC
Hyderabad: Justice CV Bhaskar Reddy of the Telangana high court has held that it is the endowments tribunal—not the high court—that should adjudicate ownership claims when both the endowments department and private individuals, such as temple priests, assert title over the same land. The court directed Arutla Srinivasa Charyulu and Arutla Narasimha Charya, two priests from Odela village in Peddapalli district, to approach the endowments tribunal for relief in their dispute over more than 10 acres of land reportedly belonging to Sri Sitaramachandra Swamy temple and Sri Anjaneya Swamy temple. The ruling came as part of the disposal of a writ petition filed by the two petitioners, who claimed that the land in question was ancestral property passed down from their father, the late Narahara Charyulu. They argued that their family's traditional role as priests of the temples did not affect their rights as private landowners. In support of their claim, they cited their names—along with their late father's—being recorded as pattadars in revenue records, and the issuance of valid pattadar passbooks in 2018. The petitioners alleged that the revenue and endowments departments, without issuing notice or conducting any inquiry, had unilaterally replaced their names with that of the temple deities in official land records. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Foggia: L'ultima soluzione acustica svizzera: ingegnosa e quasi invisibile Migliora Udito Undo As a result, they claimed to have been denied agricultural benefits provided by the govt. Bhukya Mangilal Nayak, counsel for the govt and endowments department, refuted these claims. He argued that mere service as temple priests does not confer ownership rights over temple lands. According to the state, the disputed property has long been classified as temple land, and the petitioners had failed to contest this status for years. Moreover, the govt emphasised that the proper forum to resolve such disputes is the endowments tribunal, and not the high court under Article 226 of the Constitution. Agreeing with the state's contention, the court clarified that entries in revenue records such as pahanis do not establish ownership rights. They serve only for classification purposes and do not override the legal framework governing temple lands under the Telangana Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987, the court said. The high court concluded that the matter falls squarely within the scope of section 87 of the Endowments Act, and that the endowments tribunal is the appropriate authority to determine ownership and classification issues related to temple property. It further clarified that the tribunal's decision would be made independently, without being influenced by the observations of either the district collector or the high court.

Ex-Roma, Lazio and Foggia coach Zeman in hospital
Former Roma, Lazio and Foggia coach Zdenek Zeman is in hospital after suffering a stroke and said to be in stable condition. The 77-year-old had already been forced to retire early during his experience on the bench of Serie C side Pescara in February 2024 due to health concerns. According to the latest reports, Zeman was rushed to the Policlinico Gemelli hospital in Rome this morning with symptoms of a stroke. His condition is believed to be stable, and he is alert and collaborative with the medics, but the prognosis remains reserved. Zeman had been hospitalised a year ago for cardiac irregularities and had several stents put in to help blood flow. The Czech coach was a committed smoker who was regularly seen puffing on cigarettes on the touchline, before that was banned. Although he hails from the Czech Republic, almost all of his coaching career has been in Italy, starting at Licata in 1983. His Foggia was historic for its all-attack approach and 4-3-3 formation, taking the same tactical ideas to Lazio, Roma, Fenerbahce, Napoli, Lecce, Brescia, Red Star Belgrade, Cagliari and others.

Advice for Nottingham Forest's players eyeing Europe – from those who made it in 1994-95
Shortly after becoming Nottingham Forest's record signing, when he joined from Foggia for £2.5million in the summer of 1994, Bryan Roy had a conversation with manager Frank Clark. It was a Sliding Doors moment in the history of the club. 'The boss, he asked me where I wanted to play. In the middle or down the flank? I saw that Ian Woan was already doing an outstanding job down the left. Stan Collymore was on fire up front… so I said I would like to play as a 10, just behind him,' Roy tells The Athletic. Advertisement 'When I signed, I did not expect us to go on to do what we did. But with Stan up front, I knew I could make him play even better, from that position. That is what happened.' The Dutchman was entirely correct. The rampaging duo of Collymore (22) and Roy (13) netted 35 top-flight goals between them as Clark's Forest side surprised the football world by following up a second-placed finish in the Championship, by rampaging to third in the Premier League, while sustaining a title push for much of the 1994-95 campaign. 'If you look at the players we had — Lars Bohinen and Scott Gemmill in the middle, Steve Stone and Woan on the wings. Steve Chettle and Colin Cooper as our central defenders. Stuart Pearce is just a legend. Des Lyttle was another excellent full-back,' adds Roy. 'But Stan was the most important player. To win a game, you need to score — and he delivered. My game got better at Forest too. I scored goals. But I made other players get better. I made Stan better. It was my best year ever in football.' Three decades later, it is hard to avoid the similarities between that Forest side and the current team, with Nuno Espirito Santo having led them to an unlikely — but entirely deserved — third place, ahead of their trip to Fulham tomorrow. Forest have established themselves as the season's surprise package, as they follow up two campaigns of struggle against relegation with a remarkable rise. And, at the centre of it all, is a talismanic forward who has propelled Forest on their upward trajectory: Chris Wood. The New Zealand striker took his tally to 17 with a hat-trick against Brighton and eclipsed Roy (24) as Forest's all-time Premier League top goal scorer in December. 'I see Chris Wood as being the coathanger, with the team hanging up off him. He is the same as Stan, but in a very different way. Stan could singlehandedly win you games. He was so creative, he could do it on his own. He was that guy,' says another member of that 1994-95 squad, Paul McGregor. 'The similarity between the two of them is that you have to put the ball in the back of the net for the team — and how that is done is neither here nor there.' Advertisement Collymore scored 19 goals in the second tier — including the one which secured promotion at Peterborough United. And defender Lyttle enjoyed having a prime view as Collymore enjoyed an explosive start to life in the Premier League, including a memorable top-flight debut goal in a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at the City Ground. 'Stan could win games on his own. You could give him the ball and know he could just conjure something up. The individual goals he scored were incredible,' Lyttle tells The Athletic. 'He could produce the unexpected.' When the players returned to the top flight in 1994, they had modest expectations. 'I was personally thinking whether I could play at that level. I had come from the old fourth division (with Swansea City), to then play in the second-tier — and then we got promoted,' says Lyttle. 'I had doubts. I also had to learn so quickly. Even going from the Championship to playing against household names was massive. Mark Hughes, Ryan Giggs… but we were not just playing against them, we were beating them. 'It has been a huge shift for the current team as well. I remember them being in the Championship with a side made up of loan signings. Now they are having to adjust to competing at the top end of the table. Our success came from us being all together. The majority of the players lived in Nottingham and we socialised. We were close. You can see the same now.' Roy believes another similarity between the two teams is their strength down the flanks. 'Fans always have a good afternoon when they watch sides with wingers,' says Roy. 'And when you have good wingers, players like Wood — he will love the service he is getting. Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi, they are very good. They can play even better. I should come over and give them some training! Advertisement 'It is a very special story. I have a lot of respect for Nuno. I can see that he has the players' respect, because they give everything. They fight until the last ball. It was the same under Frank. Frank is a very nice man. You could not get him angry. With me, he was always very protective. I was devastated when he left (in December 1996). If that had not happened, I would still be playing for Forest now! Frank was the driving force.' Clark's biggest success in 1994-95 was instilling confidence in his side. 'We just had a belief that we could go anywhere and not get beaten,' says Lyttle. 'We might not all have been household names, but we would go to Arsenal or Liverpool and have a go. This Forest side are surprising people in the same way as we did. Even after getting beaten by Bournemouth, they bounced back by hammering Brighton 7-0. 'I know how the lads must be feeling. They will be feeling ten foot tall. They are playing a style of football that they believe in. 'I remember doing interviews and people saying to you that you were ten games unbeaten or whatever… and it would always be a surprise because you never took note of those things. It was genuinely just the next game that you focused on. You hear Nuno saying the same thing. Just do your job. 'These players really won't be thinking about how close they are to getting into Europe. It will just be about the next game.' McGregor was around the first team squad during Brian Clough's final year in charge and he made 11 appearances during the 1994-95 campaign under Clark. 'When you hear the old boys like (Garry) Birtles or Robbo (John Robertson) talk about Clough and the way he used to talk to them, all the instructions were very simple. 'Win the ball and give it to the fat lad on the wing',' says McGregor. 'The simplicity that Clough instilled in Forest was the start of the formation of the club's DNA; of doing things the Forest way. Advertisement 'I have started to think that it is Forest DNA again: Do the simple things, better than everyone else. This team is not doing anything wild. They are organised, they are balanced, as a squad… everything about the way they play is simple. It makes me hark back to that Clough side (that won back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980), to the team that played under Frank and to this one. 'Should this side become great; if they can finish in the top four, that will be the constant: Simplicity. It was absolutely at the core of everything we did under Frank. It was a case of 'we have the best team, let's go and do our job'. It was counter-attacking, everyone put a shift in… and everyone in this team is not leaving a thing out on the pitch. The three Forest sides we have spoken about all have that in common.' Under Clark, Forest liked to retain possession. Nuno's side average 39.49 per cent possession per game, the lowest in the division. 'This Forest side are probably the best counter-attacking team in the Premier League, along with Liverpool. People know about Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood, because of what they have produced,' says Lyttle. 'But it is very much about the team; about Nuno's tactics. They have an identity and they are good at what they do.' 'They do not play quite as spectacularly as we did,' says Roy. 'But they have a clear way of doing things. 'The player I like the most is Morgan Gibbs-White. He is so important. He plays in a similar role to the one I did. The only advice I would give him is that he runs too much. He could be even smarter with his positioning and save a bit of his breath. Then he will be even better. He is still young. When he learns about positioning, he will get even more assists. If he can be even smarter, he can be even better.' When Forest secured their place in Europe in 1995, they went on to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup before they were beaten by an outstanding Bayern Munich side. 'You could feel how it lifted the entire city,' says McGregor. 'The UK was changing, there was New Labour, Britpop… there was a great atmosphere everywhere. It just felt right being at Forest at that point. Once we started to shock people, we got that sort of swell… which is what the current team are going through now. Advertisement 'They won at Anfield (1-0 in September), they started getting results. People would say 'I am not sure about this game…' and, bang, Forest would win it. That is what we did; that is how it unfolded for us. I genuinely think this team is going to do it. 'When I watch Murillo and (Nikola) Milenkovic. They are just so commanding. There is never any panic. They are commanding, assured and patient.' Forest have kept ten clean sheets this season — the joint-most alongside league leaders Liverpool. They have conceded 27 goals in 24 games. Only Liverpool (23) and Arsenal (22) have conceded fewer. 'Murillo is a monster… it is not for nothing that Forest are in this position, because they have very good defenders,' says Roy. 'We knew we had Chettle and Cooper behind us. When the opposition were attacking, I did not worry. Pearcey… he was one of the best players I have ever played with — and I played with (Marco) Van Basten and (Ruud) Gullit. I would not have fancied playing against him as a winger. 'He was called Psycho. But he was a long way from that. He is not that guy. He was a proper professional. When he made a tackle, it was a proper tackle. But I never saw a challenge from him that was outrageous. It was always hard but fair. He was a real defender.' As Forest look to keep the similarities going, by securing Champions League qualification, what advice would Lyttle give to the current generation of players? 'Just keep doing what you are doing. Because that is what has got you this far. Do not fix something that isn't broken,' says Lyttle. 'Keep that belief.' Whatever happens, Roy is convinced the club will remain on an upward curve. 'If Forest had a 50,000-capacity stadium, it would be full every week. That is the legacy that Clough brought. This should stick forever now — Forest should never be relegated again,' says Roy. Advertisement 'This season has been incredible. There is a long way to go. The final part of the season is the hardest. It brings pressure and expectation. Everyone will need to step up another level. If they can do that, they will finish third or fourth comfortably. Then they will have another adventure. 'It has been a remarkable journey already. I hope they enjoy it as much as we did. But it is not over yet. They are not at their destination. I hope they get there.'
