winston Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I've have also heard this. Apparently playing for illogan on boxing day, at the same time as St Austell are playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number5 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Think its because of his ego!! Don't think they will miss him much as Mike Arscott is now at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 He was due to play for us but had flu, why tom left st austell is between him and the club, at this moment in time tom will be with us for a while and we are glad to have him, he's always been involved with illogan fc since he left Truro city helping us out when st austell never had a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamo Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Don't think smudge has an ego at all, a will to perform at best yes, but being that he has has played for our reserves at Illogan and I believe even our 3rd team just to get 90 mins in doesn't suggest ego to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number5 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Fair point Jamo, that's the problem not getting the full story from both sides and just hearing things!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leedsunited Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Must be the reserves, if st.austell released tom then he is hardly going to start for truro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 It's not st Austell have released him leedsunited, it's more like they can't afford him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Surely if they wanted to keep him or was in their plans then phil would 'free' up money elsewhere in the squad to keep tom? Isnt that what usually happens at clubs? I personally think tom is agood player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIT 65 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Must be the reserves, if st.austell released tom then he is hardly going to start for truro? Don't know,maybe it is the reserves.But Tom is a class player,and I still think he is more than capable of putting in a good shift with the 1st team if they were short of a defender through injury or suspension.

Outsider Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Who can really afford Tom Smith in the SWPL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Seeing he has played at falmouth, st.blazey & st.austell theres three clubs that have been able to. Must be more to it than it being a cost cutting measure because like i stated previous if phill rated him that highly then surely others would of been shown the door in order to keep tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsider Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Falmouth, St.Blazey and St. Austell may have BEEN able to pay him big money in the past, but the question is who can afford him now? Illogan? He will probably play for Illogan for a lot less money than St.Austell. Can,t see any other SWPL club playing his kind of money? Sensible move by Phil! Who,s next?

leedsunited Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 How do you its money orientated by phil, maybe he isnt required & the money reasoning is just a better way of the player putting it to avoid 'losing face'. Anyway good luck tom wherever you decide to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishtiger Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hi you lot do u not think it is time st austell came out with the facts I think Phill Laffs should answer to the fans the ones who pay the money to watch lets see if truth comes out I know the truth so lets just wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegrose Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 its the same at every club if ur face fits ur in,regardless of ur ability!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsider Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 This is the business of St. Austell no body else. I'm sure Phil will discuss what he can with any fan who approaches him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
