Smyth was furious about the penalty against Man U. The red card was harsh, but it was a penalty, without a doubt. Fletcher wrapped his legs around Fabregas' thighs within 10 yards of the net. Smyth not only saw no red card or penalty, but no foul? Are you fcking crazy? Repetitively yelling your biased opinions on television doesn't make them true.

Is he not aware of this? For example when he utters "ANEEDER", does anyone have a clue what he means? Of course, he is attempting to say "and either". Do not ask me how to explain how that fits into any correct english sentence properly. He is just awful. He would never get a job in Ireland or England doing what he does over here in the USA.

The vast majority of American soccer fans I've talked to have no time for Tommy Smyth. The people in charge of ESPN have no interest or knowledge in the game and this is why we get subjected to Tommy Smyth. If RTE or BBC had an annoying American commentator for broadcasts of NFL, I don't think it would be fair to blame the Irish or English people who are forced to suffer through it. But I do agree with you on Tommy being a caricature and simple I don’t think it’s fair to blame Americans for Tommy Smyth.

His appalling attempts at Trivia i.e Johny Giles was the last Irish Player since O' Shea to come through the United ranks (for f*** sake theres been at least 10 since then, a current first teamer being one of them in Darren Gibson) He quite obviously has no love for the 6 counties either. He happened to mention in the Porto game that United hadn't scored more than 2 away from home in europe that season, i'm assuming he forgot about the Aalborg match he commentated on. Hes a dreadful commentator and its time ESPN woke up. As far as him being a Manchester United apologist or fan, im going to file that along with the Tommyisms for absurdity. Anybody in mainstream media that doesn't lambast United at every given opportunity is a closet United fan according to some Im Irish and Tommy makes my ears bleed.
