The Tommy Smyth COCK-UPS AND GENERAL ORAL DIARRHOEA page!
ESPN soccer commentator Tommy Smyth deserves the boot. Why? Because he's CRAP!! The list of his cock-ups and general oral diarrhoea below should convince you to join Darlo's crusade to get rid of Tommy Smyth from our screens. E-mail me at andrew@taurean.co.nz to add your name to my "Send Tommy Smyth and his ole onion bags packing" campaign. And send me your own "Tommy Smyth cock-ups" too.

Here is some of the correspondence received from a few of the disgruntled ones:
Thank You!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!!! Tommy Smyth has to go. I am so glad that other people have at last spoken up. I wish I had found this site earlier.

What a fecking complete gob****************e. He almost makes me ashamed to be Irish. How to Jaysus does the Bollix keep his job. It just goes to show how thick the Yanks are.

I was looking at your Tommy Smyth web page and I have been trying to find out — who the hell is he anyway? Did he play? Coach? Who for? When? I swear he dosen't have a clue and I am sure he is just some random bloke that ESPN have come up with in the tea room! Also, while you are at it, who is Eddie Mighten as well?
Cheers

Keep up the crusade Andrew. I am originally from Glasgow but now live in Brisbane, and I need to suffer this irritating little pr*ck on a weekly basis just so I can keep up with the football from back home. I'd love to kick him in the onion bag with a very heavy steel toe capped boot!!

Get rid of that ignorant Irish dwarf Tommy Smyth. He would have to be the worst football commentator I have ever seen or heard. Weight to the argument is that he cost them money. I paid extra to get ESPN so I could see some Champions League matches. He was so bad and irritating that I cancelled the subscription, thereby depriving poor Mr Murdoch of $12 per month. I bet I wasn't the only one.

"That ball should have been buried in the back of the net," says the ranting idiot Smyth on many occasions. How about burying Smyth in the back of some net and making sure he stays there . . .
I'm sick of this old b*****d. Why are they investing money into this peice of ****************? The AULD ONION BAG? No one cares Smyth. I can't even understand him when he talks. I'm sitting back trying to watch the Stanley Cup play-offs, and EVERY ADVERT BREAK they have that idiot talking about soccer and the auld onion bag. More like auld onion ************. I'm sick of him. Tommy Smyth makes my blood boil, and I won't rest until his wrinkled carcase is off our TV screens.

Absolutely, I cannot listen to him. Particularly annoying is the way he calls fouls "on" players like he's at a basketball game. I've wondered at times whether my TV has picked up a crossed line 'cos he doesn't seem to be watching the same match I am. No more — it's the mute button or don't watch. Get rid.

Tommy Smyth has got no idea. Every time I watch a Champions League game he gets it all wrong. Tommy, hang up your boots mate and stick to your Irish dancing — and what's with this Onion Bag rubbish?
George Gavalas
Tsk Tsk. Tommy Smyth. Where to start! This man is a total imbecile and a disgrace to ESPN and soccer commentators in a universal context. How this man can go to sleep at night thinking he has made an honest dollar is beyond me. I am actually glad ESPN rescinded their Serie A broadcasting rights so I no longer have to listen to his inept commentary whilst watching my league of choice. If I were an Irishman, he would make me cringe even more.
Angelo Amara
Tommy Smyth ... what can I say! Actually that's my point exactly! Words don't describe the futility and utter senselessness that revolves within his empty, unfootball minded mind. I swear, a goat could host a football show and know what he's talking about better than Tommy Smyth does (no offence to goats).
I have never, in my life heard anyone pronounce players' names as badly and without a decent accent as he does. I remember one time when the panel was speaking of Claudio Pizarro! Pronounced "Pizza-row". Seriously. And his accent when he pronounces the Ajax player Tom Soetaers. Absolutely disgusting.
I refuse to watch ESPN football mainly due to him, and when I do watch it, volume being at "mute" is an absolute ritual. He uses his hands as if he is conveying to the viewer something of interest when really he is saying, "go on, turn the TV off and watch Rai International".
If this man is not dispensed with either by hanging, or firing squad any time soon, I fear I am going to have to disconnect my Foxtel, stick the receiver in a tyre, soak it all in kerosene, set it on fire and roll it down the steepest hill I can find.
So please, save us from the torture before we all turn into spastics, and shoot Tommy Smyth. Gracias!

What a fanny, he needs to go. ESPN, if you are reading this, I am convinced Mr Smyth guzzles too many pints of Guinness before each game. He would never get a job commentating in a country were football was the predominant sport. If you care about the football fans you broadcast to around the world you would tell Tommy to pack his ol' onion bags and go away. He is a disgrace to your organisation, a disgrace to true football fans around the world and a disgrace to the Emerald Isle.
I no longer want to watch the games in silence. Do us all a favour.

Tommy Smyth just makes so angry I no longer have ESPN or Foxtel for that matter. When he "does" games he seems to pick on one player that, for whatever reason, he does not like, and waits until every single (little) mistake to have a go at him. This seems more prevalent during Rangers games.
