Tomemith here Following prolong promptings from the great Mrs T it is with deep regret that I wish to announce that it is my intention to retire from inter County posting on Hoganstand. I enjoyed my time imparting my knowledge and expert Views . I know I will leave the site which is much richer of my contributions. tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3982 - 05/01/2024 10:55:47 2518454 Link

Everyone is going to remember where they were the day Tom Smith retired. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2150 - 05/01/2024 11:23:58 2518459 Link
Bye Tom. I'm not sure what I'll miss more. Your daft threads or how worked up Killing fields used to get on them. Enjoy your retirement :) skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1103 - 05/01/2024 12:21:55 2518469 Link

The Cavan forum will have a major influx of visitors now. Could be a great promotional tactic by the Cavan forum too. Exclusive to Cavan Hoganstand Tom Smith and Mrs Tom Smith!!! I hope it can handle it all. Chris6788 (Cavan) - Posts: 8 - 05/01/2024 14:22:05 2518494 Link

No good retirement was ever complete without at least 1 comeback. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1267 - 05/01/2024 17:41:12 2518521 Link

If I was a cynical man I'd suggest that maybe Tomsmith was a character created by the administration to stir up activity. But I'm not..... streaker (Galway) - Posts: 503 - 05/01/2024 17:53:57 2518524 Link
Not surprised that Tom has decided to retire. Once HS decided to put all his postings in one thread, "The Musings of Tom Smith" , it kind of signalled the end of the line for him! Henceforth his contributions would be missing the same dramatic impact that they had when he was able to post his own individual threads. The longwinded thread titles were the most amusing and entertaining aspect of his contributions. Invariably I would click on them just to see how many people were annoyed by what he wrote. Probably the last colourful poster on HS is stepping aside. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1953 - 05/01/2024 18:10:56 2518529 Link

Replying To CARPS: "Who is Tomsmith?" That is one of life's great mysteries. Is he man or myth ? He certainly is / was a "marmite" character. I found him amusing. To some on here he was like a red rag to a bull. Now we will never know. Perhaps it's just as well. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1267 - 05/01/2024 19:44:42 2518539 Link
Don't do it Tom. Tell me it ain't so. The Hogan stand public demand Tom Smith's postings keep coming... bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1400 - 05/01/2024 19:59:16 2518541 Link
One thing for sure is he could wind posters up spring tight, a couple in particular, I'm glad to say I never replied to any of his posts. He had so-called long-lasting Elite posters eating out of his hand, he had more replies than most other posters and that says a lot, to make it better he is leaving this forum on his own terms and not being bullied into leaving. He submitted and posted his own resignation; however, I can see him coming out of retirement in the near future wearing a borrowed jersey so to speak. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3050 - 05/01/2024 20:21:41 2518542 Link

Probably just a Neil Warnock retirement. He'll be back next with some other pointless thread. SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2501 - 06/01/2024 10:22:52 2518586 Link
Replying To SaffronDon: "Probably just a Neil Warnock retirement. He'll be back next with some other pointless thread." Beauty of these posts are that you don't have to read them - or reply. Some people seem to read all posts till they find something to get upset about. A wonderful thing, free will. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1267 - 06/01/2024 14:35:58 2518625 Link
