Tomlin has a history of poor mental health. You should probably be mindful of that before dumping on him.

I didn't know about that so thanks for saying.

He seems to have genuine mental health issues and also a genuinely terrible attitude. 

How those two things are intertwined is anyone's guess.

Well if he struggles with his mental health he probably has a tendency to lash out at other people and make poor decisions as a coping strategy, I know for sure when I’ve been in a difficult place mentally I’ve been a **** to people at times so they are probably more interlinked than you realise.

It's a tricky one because poor mental health might help explain unacceptable behaviour, but it doesn't necessarily excuse it.

Not sure if it's the same in football but when I'm sick I tell my manager.

Yeah? Well I tell ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE.

Until I think I have had sufficient sympathy, well wishes and cups of tea/coffee made for me, I won't shut up about it.

I had a touch of man-flu a couple of years back, it was so bad it kept me out of the pub one Sunday.

Boy. Did I moan about both feeling a bit meh, and the fact it had an impact on my weekend. I felt properly cheated. The Doris was left in no doubt as to just how serious this was.

I think you are confusing "hate" with "ripping the piss". ?

Hope you enjoy “ripping the piss”. I’m sure it’s good for Tomlins mental health

Sad read, it’s painfully obvious the guy has problems, hopefully with the right help he can overcome his terrible demons, please give the guy a break

Reading that it sounds a bit of a similar situation to Tyson Fury a few years back.

Both similar characters in some ways, very naturally talented, a tendency to lose focus/discipline and get into trouble.

I think the reason people are quite hard on Tomlin is because he doesn't come across as a very good person. They wouldn't necessarily know, or even care, about the full context.

Tomlin is (was) a quality footballer. The type myopic moaners love to hate whilst whispering: " I wish he played for us "

Hated him against us, hated the way WeeLee stifled his talents & 'naughty benched'© him when with us.

Carried fewer kilos than the vast majority who bemoaned his size. Fact is, he was good enough to perform whilst carrying more timber than perhaps a professional footballer should. Those who bemoaned the likes of Molby &  Robertson as 'fat', 'round' & 'worth'.... well far more than City might ever have afforded.

I am on antidepressants and tried to top myself after a particularly painful divorce, but I don't fall back on the vogueish "mental health" excuse. 

I was fully aware and did not to act like an obnoxious tossbag.

Oh yes, and I don't "hate" the dim bugger...jeez, that's another overused word on this bloody forum. You sanctimonious bellends.

“Obnoxious tossbag” - the guy tried to commit suicide. Show some empathy particularly as you have been in the same place. Not everyone travels the same journey. 
 

As for being called a sanctimonious bellend - cheers. Actually just trying to highlight how mental health can devastate lives. Doesn’t matter whether you are a footy player or a bloke that works in Tesco’s. Your belittling of him, considering you have faced the same issue, is staggering. Have a long hard look in the mirror

Your self righteousness overwhelms me.

Some of the utter cock cheese bellwhiffs on this forum.

I'm out.

If he big enough to give it out, he can be big enough to take it. If you can't take it don't give it out.
