BS4 on Tour... Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Don't really understand the negativity towards Lee Tomlin....most people seemed to want him to stay when he was on loan, he helped keep us up, scored a few very memorable goals, and lots of people (including some on here) were waxing lyrical about his skills and saying he was one of the most talented players they'd ever seen at The Gate....I personally won't forget his late free kick away at Fulham which helped clinch our safety in this division (not League).....if people are bothered by his 'off field activities' then they would despise quite a large number of pro footballers.....just don't understand the hate now when he was nearly worshipped by some not so long ago. Perhaps it's just because he joined Cardiff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One BCFC Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I urge every person in the Ground to ignore him. He is the sort of individual who relishes a team hating him - take Chopra and McCormack for example. I honestly am not going to give him the time of day, same for Warnock - he doesn't hate us at all, he loves us because we play into his hands every single time.

Offloaded by us during the summer for the price we paid, and with all the rumours flying around about his alleged antics (GBH and playing hide the sausage with his kids nanny), plus "that" tweet, it would suggest he won't be getting some applause from the crowd like most City rejects when they return... Chances are as well, he won't start but will make an appearance from the bench. He's only started 4 times for Cardiff with all other appearances coming as a sub. Will you give him a clap or will you boo? Pity his kids Nanny didn't give him the clap ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or telling the rest of the squad they were L1 standard at best .... Free passes on those too ? But hey ho , he's a red blooded male Are you having a conversation with yourself there..?!

Guest Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Liked him when he was playing well, wound me up when he was shite - hey ho. Colin will start his wind up routine on Wednesday and will know LT is the sort of player he can rely on to help him with that. We'll find out on Saturday just how successful he's been.

Perhaps it's just because he joined Cardiff... It was not his off field antics, nor that he joined Cardiff (the fact that we were getting rid of him cheered many up, to Cardiff was the cherry on the icing on the three tier cake - that he would probably have eaten without a fork! - so it most definitely isn't that he's gone there). It was the fact that he came here as a permanent transfer and just about became the worst example of a footballer there is: petulent, way substandard, lethargic I could go on and on and on. For me I see his loan spell and his permanent spell as two different times. The Tomlin we had on loan was a player of dreams, the Tomlin we have permenantly was the player of nightmares. A real Jekyll and Hyde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myol'man Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 He might not even be there, he's back in court on Friday. Could be going down? Tomlin, 25, who now plays for Cardiff City, and Accrington Stanley striker Billy Kee, 26, are charged with grievous bodily harm after the alleged attack outside the Ghost nightclub on January 22 which left a man with a broken jaw. According to the Leicester Mercury, The pair appeared before a plea and case management hearing at Leicester Crown Court where they spoke only to answer their names. Judge Steven Coupland adjourned the case to November 3 in order to give the prosecution and the defence more time to prepare their cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman Block B Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Like it or, if he plays saturday he will be very dangerous and can make something special happen in a second! We have the benefit that all our back four and midfield will know him well, know his tricks from the training ground and should have enough to keep him quiet. But a lack of concentraction and he will be dangerous for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hes hardly the antichrist people paint him out to be.

Perhaps it's just because he joined Cardiff... Probably more to do with the fact that he didnt really try to do much to get/stay in the team, and wasn't that fussed if he wasn't in the first 11. Blew hot and cold a lot, and supposedly "upset the apple cart". Tomlin was, and always will be one of those players that can turn it on at the drop of the hat, or go missing for a long time. We knew that, took a chance, and it didn't work out. Off field issues also didn't help. He's just another player that has come and gone. The fact that he's now at Cardiff just adds fuel to the fire.

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 37 minutes ago, Keyardiv said: He started tonight and was great. Worked hard and some sublime touches. Looked quality. I did see the first(?) goal where he looked great with the one-two and then the through ball and that is what he can do when he wants, it`s just that he doesn`t do it often enough as I expect you`ve worked out by now. When he decides he can`t be arsed he`s a liability. Do you lot know if he is in court again on Friday as everyone seems to think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfieldred Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 tomlin helped us stay up first season and then very much helped nearly put us down. He was poor in 2 thirds of his appearances last season. His performance away at Ipswich lost us the match I reckon. He was so bad it looked like he was trying to pass to the other side.

BristolIsRed Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Tin hat coming on here but in my opinion, we should just all ignore Lee Tomlin completely next weekend. Tomlin himself said while playing for us that it motivates him if everyone gives him stick, so we should just ignore him completely, at least until after the game.
