Tommy Smith (Auckland FC | A-League)

 ..or Smith as the incumbent following Nelsen's multiple absences.

Smith or Reid for me. Reid is vice at West Ham

All Whites vice-captain Tommy Smith talks All Whites, Football and his stoppage time, game winning header against New Caledonia.

Supporters player of the year at Ipswich for our Smithy.

That's very cool, good on him.

Tommy extends contract at Tractor Boys

Good to see. 

Well that's weird, first game of the season and skysports has him plaaying RM, muliti talented for a left footer...can't see it being true but still strange to havve him there, also looks like he has a new shirt number.

they've also got tabb listed as a forward, and skuse normally plays in mf, so i'd say tommy was probably at the back
check out the reading lineup too - players out of position all over the place

Tommy Smith scored in a 3-0 win against Millwall last night

"Of my 12 goals in my 500-odd league games, they were genuinely all like that one from Tommy Smith - I can remember most of them. It was a magnificent header." - Mick McCarthy

Jack Ainsley came in for his first league start at centre-half alongside Damien Delaney with Tommy Smith dropping to the bench.Lee Martin and sub Tommy Smith saw red either side of half-time.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Tommy Smith was introduced at the break, for the ineffective Josh Carson with Jack Ainsley moving to right-back and Carlos Edwards into midfield.

Smith’s introduction lasted around a minute before the New Zealand international joined Martin back in the dressing room. The ball was played through the middle for a possibly offside Tomlin to chase, Smith and the striker both went to ground just outside the area and the linesman waved his flag for a foul against the Town man when the initial infringement may have been committed by the Peterborough player.

Despite the incident having taken place some distance outside the area, referee Scott pointed to the penalty spot in addition to sending Tommy Smith off, the first time Town have ever had two players sent off in the same match.

That was 2 years ago?

Your search engine stuffed, Abris ??

Had me worried there for  a minute

Had me worried Tommy wouldn't be playing this weekend because we can see Tommy on NZ tele this weekend for the first time:

 SOMMET SPORTS: Ipswich vs Leeds at 1:55am Sunday morning

Freeview Program Guide:  http://www.freeviewnz.tv/tv-guide.aspx

sorry guys!

I was going to say that I hadn't seen the game scheduled and it would very odd if the same thing happened twice in two years.

Played in a 2 - 1  loss to Leeds

Ipswich away to Derby this morning who are temporarily without a manager after sacking Nigel Clough. Ipswich comfortable ninth on table and great to see Tommy established as first-choice player at heart of a tight defense.

Tommy's photo is everywhere these days - like the way his portrait takes up the whole left side if the Ipswich website:

Is Big Pete the new Abris?

I have to say that big pete is very good at being first getting infos about kiwi overseas. I really like to read his posts!

4-4, Ipswich up 4-1 at Half time

He should be getting paid. 

full 90 yesterday in 1-1 vs Barnsley.

Got a cut below the eyebrow, has stitches in.. Twitter pic of wound if interested..

All White v All White at the weekend with Ipswich at home to Leicester City: 2-1 win to Leicester:

Ipswich Town v Leicester City -- Championship 2013/2014 Highlights

Sigh.

Tommy just opened the scoring for Ipswich away

He always seems to score a few every season our Smithy

I reckon he's one of the best goal-scoring centre-backs in the Championship.

Saw the goal on "The Football League Show" on Sky -was a powerful cracker! A 1-0 win eases them up from the lower reaches of the table.

He almost scored earlier in the game too. He beat my team, Charlton - but since he's a Kiwi, I forgive him....

Also a 3-1 home win v Blackburn yesterday - Ipswich currently in good spot of form.

Really long ball out of defence & embarassing keeper blunder for third Ipswich goal:

Like Mick McCarthy's new beard - it's a "Christopher Lee" look:

A top candidate for the Republic of Ireland job (again).

Mick has a wonderfully expressive face too:

O'neill and Keano got that gig. Excited to see how they work together over the Euro qualifiers.

Did anyone read the article in the Herald about Tommy nearly quitting the AWs due to the poor organisation and communcation machine that is NZF? There must be at least some grain of truth to the article even if there are no sorces listed in the article:

Threat to quit uncovered

Yup. But it is more to do with NZF enforcing their rights under FIFA regs to have players available.

7th, 1 point off the 6, exciting times

"non jinx"

Up to 6th

Eight points off fourth...

1-1 draw at home to my team Charlton on New Year's Day:

Tommy Smith wasn't in the lineup last game at all. Injured??

Sommet Sports - Sunday: 3.55 am - Ipswich v QPR LIVE

scored with a bycycle kick today in Ipswich's loss to QPR

Any merit in a career/position change up front? The guy scores a lot of goals for the amount of time he spends at the top end of the pitch

usually headers. Standard for any decent CB.
