Tom the gom in assault shocker!

**Martinho II** · 29/02/2004, 9:21 AM

Yesterday at the longford ucd game at belfield, a very funny incident occurred at the beginning of the game. Mad Tom assaulted the linesman!

What happened was we were playin on ucd second pitch which meant we were extremely close to the action! As the linesman was running up the touchline, didnt mad tom refuse to get out of his way and thumped him as the linesman was running past!

the game was delayed a few minutes as the linesman received assistance from the town physio! Once the match restarted, as puinshment mad tom went over to the far side and ran into the hedge a few times to collect some stray balls!

What an incident! What a character!

You could ban him from Matches.... If he assulted an official he should be banned from games, mad or not. Think of the message it sends to people (like me) who regularly want to deck match officials for their incompetence (and in games that actually matter as well)....

Couldn't possibly - I'm selling out and trying to give up the smokes (again)...

Totally agree with Macy, you can't give the match officials a smack, regardless of how much of a cult figure you are. Six-month ban from any eL ground should suffice and at least everybody will know they're supposed to be turning away.

**max power** · 01/03/2004, 11:35 AM

shouldn't matter to yee, you might not be in the el........(joke) no there was no fourth offical....so not all was perfect with the officals either

Of all the below the belt jibes...

it was kinda funny though

Ah feck it Max, you know too much about the Simpsons for me to stay mad at you!

Though it hardly justifies a slap being thrown just because there was no fourth official.

**max power** · 01/03/2004, 12:15 PM

i think it was more a fact of mad tom wandering as he does...the linesman looking at the play while running and tom having a sharp elbow.....no malice i feel just a mad man in the right place...he is a legend afterall....watch out for the mad tom thoughts column in a fanzine during the season ( no other fcuker steal that idea now !!! )

Had a guest column from him two years ago - who's stealing from who now?!

Not to mention his Deathmatch against Julian Canny and the ad for the Mad Tom action figure.

Look forward to reading the thoughts though!

It was done in the style of @ndy. I don't think that can be described at all!

**max power** · 01/03/2004, 12:43 PM

Lads .. you are all over reacting ... the guy is a marbles case.

The wheel is still moving but the hamster is dead type thing.

I wouldn't ban him .... infact we should be getting more of his type to games.

The gate is up .... the light is flashing ..... but the train aint coming !!
