Lee Tomlin - mental health crisis over
A very interesting and revealing story here about Tomlin. Sounds like he was in a very dark place but now through it - with help from Warnock, club staff, Bellamy and others.

Maybe this time the pre-season optimism is different?

Re: Lee Tomlin - mental health crisis over
Sounds like the club have done right by him

Re: Lee Tomlin - mental health crisis over
Didn’t know how bad things had got for Lee. Good to read he’s feeling better.
-
Re: Lee Tomlin - mental health crisis over
I dread to think of the things he has done wrong, but I firmly believe Bellamy is a net positive influence and I hope we can find a way to benefit from his strengths.

Re: Lee Tomlin - mental health crisis over
The north of England is a very dark place.
Believe me I lived there and married some
one from there.

Re: Lee Tomlin - mental health crisis over
I don't believe a word of it. If he was motivated and interested he wouldn't be insisting on living so far away.
I think he is a man who does as little as possible to get as much as possible.
If he is committed the City should say move here train properly and if you get fat you don't get paid.
See how committed he is then

He obviously made up his stories about suicidal feelings and a suicide attempt then.

Yup. I think that is exactly what he, and his agent, have done.
Maybe looking down the barrel of a potential release by City.
I will believe his reincarnation as a dedicated player when he delivers it. He has spectacularly failed ot do it yet!!

What evidence do you have to effectively call him a liar in respect of such a serious subject? And would Warnock have been so understanding about Tomlin's predicament if the guy was just a layabout?

What evidence do you have that he is telling the truth and is reformed?
He crashed a car on the M69 and "never told anyone about it, just went out the next day and bought a new one".
What are the chances that a professional footballer could do this without the police getting involved (The do notice crashed cars on motorways eventually) and/or no press getting a sniff of it?
as I said, I'll believe his reformation when I see evidence of it. you can bookmark this if you want!!

What about the part where he says this has been going on for a while and Warnock has been aware of it and helping him the entire time? You're making it sound like they've cooked up this plan recently

I don't need evidence as the question was about you accusing him of lying. He may possibly be doing so but to be so adamant that he is lying about things suicidal would be horrendous if you were wrong. And the fact that he may resort to how he was doesn't prove anything, as such. If his problem was indeed about mental health it's not something that could be perfectly resolved.

Fecking hell, you’re on one tonight ain’t you? First you insinuate that sexual molestation is blown out of proportion, and now that Lee Tomlin has made up his battles with his mental health and suicidal thoughts, what’s next in your firing line?

I'm not "on one" I just get sick sometimes of the current trend that gives people an "out" for any kind of behavior. It is only in the last few years all these accusations and things have surfaced. I am not saying this shit didn't go on but I sometimes question whether a lot of people jump on the wagon to justify their own problems.
Now you can say what you want in respect to that, it is only my own thoughts. But what ever you do say is unlikely to sway my opinion.

Don't use the "I don't need evidence" thing. Its like saying "He must be telling the truth because he said it first".
I disagree with what you said. I don't have to 'prove' anything. The man will prove or disprove it himself by what he does from here on. But I wouldn't bet on your interpretation.
I did not say I was adamant he was lying, I said I don't believe it. He does not strike me as suicidal, but I'm sure your knowledge and insight is greater than mine. Shall we just wait and see?
By the way has he moved to Cardiff or is he still planning to commute? A little evidence of commitment would be nice!
Like I said, bookmark it!

Okay you don’t but it and thats your opinion.
However I trust Warnock has bought it hence why he’s stuck with the player.
I trust the clubs opinion having been close to the player as opposed to a MB poster sharing their opinion on a whim.

Re: Lee Tomlin - mental health crisis over
We can't be far from "how can he be depressed earning thousands a week". Go on xsnaggle, let's have it.

An old mate of mine hung himself on June 18th. I attended his funeral yesterday. None of his family or closest friends had any idea he was in such a desperate frame of mind, including people who saw him, talked to him and interacted with him just days before he killed himself.
I was going to say I hope that information provides you with something to think about as regards mental health, but the evidence of your comments on this message board suggest you won't think about it at all because you're a ****ing idiot.

What a horrible thing to say, and unfortunately one of many horrible comments you've made throughout this thread
I sincerely hope you come to regret them when you re-read them

Re: Lee Tomlin - mental health crisis over
xsnaggle does ask a valid question though when he asks.. "By the way has he moved to Cardiff or is he still planning to commute? A little evidence of commitment would be nice!"
I would also like him to commit to moving to the area. However, it could be argued that staying with his family in Leceistershire has attributed to his well-being and new peace of mind.

Totally agree with you he is a ****ing idiot, he has no idea whatsoever!

Re: Lee Tomlin - mental health crisis over
Steve Coogan's depiction of Alan Partridge as a Toblerone fiend (as revealed in his "autobiography") struck a bit of a chord with me because I do have a degree of cynicism when it comes to people in the public eye having to get the details of their mental issues "out there" for us all to read or hear about. I'd also say that I've definitely been quite hard on Lee Tomlin because I feel there is nothing worse in professional sport than wasted talent as careers are frittered away through self indulgence - I was all for getting him off our books if we possibly could.
That said, the Daily Mail article has made me change my mind about Tomlin - I believe him, simple as that. If those who see him training every day at the club believe there has been a significant change in Tomlin's mental approach (he genuinely looks to have made big efforts to improve his physical fitness), then I say get him in the first team squad as soon as possible - he would be a great option to have on the bench because, at his best, he would give us something that we don't have at the moment, he'd be like a new signing for us.

So you state he has a “valid question”, then you dismiss this so called “valid question”, with the sensible sentence “maybe being at home has attributed to his well being” !! Strange !!!!
Which way is it, valid or dismissible ????
X has definitely let himself down here

Re: Lee Tomlin - mental health crisis over
Folks, don't misunderstand me, I hope I'm wrong just as much as you do. It's just that I doubt it. I seriously doubt it.
I seem to recall after he joined us from Bristol everyone was saying he was much fitter, looking the part etc but he didn't deliver consistently.
Someone just said perhaps being at home contributes to his well being yet for the whole of his time at this club people have castigated him for not making a commitment by moving here. Why has that suddenly changed?
AS for TLG's comment - I do understand mental health problems. I had a massive mental breakdown in 1992 and I had a relapse 3 years later. It took me about 8 years to get myself straight. In the end I had to make them sign me off the sick or I might still be on it.
But as TOBW says, I didn't feel the need to go out and broadcast it to the world, I just worked my way through it all in my head and I am a much better more relaxed person now and life is good.
TONW nailed it with his comment "I believe him, simple as that" basically saying he has no evidence to believe him but has a feeling
its true. Well I don't believe him, simple as that.
He has had so many chances to deliver and not done so, so this time until he does for me nothing has changed. Again I will say, I sincerely hope I'm wrong, I just doubt!!

I didn't dismiss his question at all, I endorsed it. I used the words ""it could be argued" meaning I fully expect people would put forward that as a counter argument, not by me but others.

This is a terrible attitude to have towards mental health. I’d rather be taken in by one liar than call all the genuine people suffering with these sort of issues liars.

Neil Warnock aand his wife been living in Ogmore bye sea since he signed for us, without actually selling his house I would say he has relocated!

Too true, I see that Xsnaggle is saying that he himself has suffered with mental health problems, I see that posters on here have taken him at his word, I would have thought he would do the same regarding Tomlin

I didn't know where he lived to be honest. When the other poster asked me if I felt the same about the manager relocating too, I assumed from that line of questioning that he didn't live in the area.

I thought he had - doesnt he live in Ogmore with his wife during season time ? Thats only just over 20 miles away from the ground.

You misunderstand. I do normally take people at their word until they show me they are not entirely honest. My only problem with this thing is that after years of failing to produce the goods he has been paid substantial amounts to produce and perhaps the realisation that he isn't going to get away with it any longer, this story emerges in the press telling us how we should all feel sorry for him.
I think it is driven by his agent and/or him to gain sympathy while he tries to show he is giving the commitment he has so clearly lacked for years in the past.
as I have said and repeated. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but, (and it is a big but for me) after years of failing to deliver I will not believe it until it happens and is sustained. If and when I am proved wrong i'll be the first to admit it, and I'll be more than happy to do so, particularly if he is delivering for the club on the pitch! Lets wait and see shall we?

Well that’s shocking. I can understand people being ignorant to mental health if they haven’t suffered themselves, but to have such an attitude to someone else’s mental health when you’ve suffered yourself is appalling.
If Snaggles really has suffered with mental health problems himself then he should be able to recognise what Tomlin is saying is no lie.
Lying awake at 2am, 3am overthinking things and getting yourself in a state, and worrying about things years in the future that you can do nothing about, then telling yourself suicide is the only way out a very common symptom of anxiety and depression.
Wether he goes on to do the business for City is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. His health is more important than football.
As it says in the article mental health doesn’t discriminate and it’s an absolute pathetic notion to suggest just because he’s been well paid he shouldn’t be suffering from mental health.
Shame on you Snaggles.
Good luck Lee Tomlin.

If we see a new committed Tomlin that will be the positive ,for him ,the club ,and the fans .
You would have to be a very cold, nasty person , to make this up.
