Tommy Martin
Munster v Stade Francais Paris - Champions Cup Round 1
S Tommy Martin: Why TMS (that’s Too Much Sport) viewing numbers are tumbling
Too Much Rugby is a smaller scale version of Too Much Football, which reaches new levels of bloated madness with next year’s FIFA Club World Cup

Republic of Ireland v Wales - UEFA Women's EURO 2025 Play-Off Round Two Second Leg
S Tommy Martin: Ireland had enough on their plate without inspiring generations

England v Republic of Ireland - UEFA Nations League B
S Tommy Martin: Hallgrimsson has copped that slagging off our soccer team is best way to fit in

Wed, 23 Oct, 2024

England press conference - Wembley Stadium
S Tommy Martin: A dark day for England? Or for the rest of us?
A brainy, single-minded foreigner allied to the best of British - worrying times.

Thu, 17 Oct, 2024

Heimir Hallgrímsson 8/10/2024
S Tommy Martin: Heimir has to fit the profile and humour our madness
The Ireland manager seems to have copped that so much of this job is about appearances: being seen to be out there.

Thu, 10 Oct, 2024

Borussia Dortmund v Celtic - UEFA Champions League - Signal Iduna Park
S Tommy Martin: In going toe-to-toe, Rodgers' Celtic shoot themselves in the foot
Despite suffering a third seven-goal spanking in Champions League football as Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers won't be adapting his approach.

Thu, 03 Oct, 2024

Armagh v Galway - GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship Final
Tommy Martin: While everyone else is sportspreading, the GAA has shrunk its borders
A football World Cup in November, Champions League games on a Thursday, a Lions tour that concludes in August, and no inter-county GAA in September
