I know this may have been done before, but as this is a progressing story it needs to be done again.
This guy used to go to Longford Town matches (and possibly others) to support the opposing team. He probably saw more matches than the proper fans!
Any idea on where he his, no one round us has seen him in ages!
cork fan?? always sayin cork would have won that game or ya's just can't play like cork?
if its the same rom we're talkin bout. he's still around tolka. was lookin for a smack after the limerick game
I've been to a good 75% of UCD games this year, home and away, and I can't recall seeing him this season now that you mention it.:confused:Quote:

Wasn't there a reason the last thread was pulled though lads?
I think he was at one of our matches earlier in the season but I haven't seen him in ages.
L.T.F.C. I like this thread;)
He was at a good few Bohs games this season and used to see him hanging around outside Busaras quite a bit, but haven't seen him in months.
He was at the UCD Bowl for the Galway game on Friday as well.
And Tolka Park Shelbourne versus Limerick 37.
(I understand that Threads identifying individuals sometimes get moved because the thread may deteriorate.)
I was getting a bus from Athlone to Navan the day of the last Rovers-Bohs match in Tolka a few weeks ago. Me and a mate who was visiting me the night before were both in our Bohs shirts and were sitting in the back seat and Tom got on in Moate, came down the back and told me he was heading to Drogheda for a match. Then he realised we were both wearing Bohs shirts and waffled the ears off me for the next 2 hours of the journey.
He knows his stuff. Kept questioning me on all sorts of eL trivia. Told me that Rovers would beat us that night, and also that Cork City will win the league next season and that Meath will win the All-Ireland football championship!
I saw Tom marching along with 15,000 students to the dáil about three weeks ago, unbeknown to him, it was a march against the re-introduction of college fees, and not the re-instatement of Cork Hibs
The one and only time I saw Tom at Ferrycarrig Park was back in August for the cup game against St. Pats. It was an 8 o'clock KO but I chatted to him there around midday. That day was piffing down with rain and there is nowhere to go in the vicinity of the ground, so I think he just hung around. He was soaked, poor guy, by time the match was played. I felt sorry for him but a bit of a nuisance, I'll have to say
He was in Richmond Park for Derry Pats during the week.
What a legend! Haven't seen him in the showgrounds for a good while. He was talking to stephen kenny after our home game against harps earlier in the season and I think kenny was glad to get away! Another time he told me rovers were useless,when I told him cork hibs were worse he wasn't happy:D!!
He was in Terryland for our last 3 home games but I hadn't seen him all season before that.
He was in Tolka last night with what appeared to be a bag full of cuddly toys.
Telling Shels fans that there were too many Dublin teams in the league. Typical Corkie.
Met him for the first time at UCD-Pats in August.
He seemed to be a bit taken aback at meeting a Blues fan, but he told me we were going to win the First (never 'I think' with him so I'm lead to believe :)).
Lo and behold, there he was at the RSC for the Limerick match the following weekend, first time I, or anyone, had seen him there. :D
The last time I saw him was at the Pats-Elfsborg game. He told me that Cork-Bayern 1-1 draw was the best European result for an Irish team. He's harmless and a bit of a legend. Never seen him at or hanging around an Ireland game though.Quote:

One of the first times I met him was at the RSC -2004 i think - i remember Tony Grant scoring for us, and i remember the stand was full; two rare occurances in one night.Quote:

I saw him at the Shels-Fingal game the other week. Maxi was also there, in Dundalk shirt. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall if those two had got talking.
Its posts like this that were the reason the many previous threads on Tom were locked.Quote:

"looking for a smack"..... are you one of the schooligans that was on the pitch last night?
I really wonder about some of the people on here sometimes.
no i was actually one of the stewards tryin to keep that scum away from the limerick fans. i said he was looking for a smack, because a well respected redsman who has entertained and politly listened to toms comments for years was visably in tears after the game and yet tom still felt the need to stick the knife in. i've often talked to tom and get on well with him but last night was the wrong place for his usual comments and it is a fact that he was lucky no one swung for himQuote:

met tom several times this season, he was at our home game against Bray start of the season, and i think he was up in drogheda when we beat them 1-0 in the league - always see him around the cross - every few weeks anyway - think he lives in bray though - hes not a Cork City fan as far as I know.
Tom is a Cobh Ramblers fan AFAIK.
