Stanley Victor Collymore

A free pass throughout what though? All he's done is highlight how bad the Villa are. What's that got to do with his depression?

Throughout his time as a Villa player, which is what we were talking about.

Yes, how could someone possibly suffer from depression for three whole years?

[Smirker]

Isn't this the second time this season Lescott has offered someone out? It was a fan before I think.

[walsall villain]

Is everything he's ever done and ever will do going to be excused because of his illness?

This is what you said

Yes, how could someone possibly suffer from depression for three whole years?

Not sure if this is a serious question?

Other than the Ulrika thing what's he done that's so bad anyway?

I think he was being ironic.

Pretty sure that's sarcasm.

And this is what I then said:

I was talking out his time as a player with us, not before or not after.

The same principle exists. 

Well if he didn't play as well as anticipated for us but was actually depressed then it would excuse it for me.

For three years? And it started when he joined us? I know he's ill and I have a lot of time for the way he highlights the problem but it's just too convenient to say his illness gives him a free pass throughout.

Having read again what Lescott said I genuinely think he is just thick and has a really bad way with words.

[andyh]

I hope and think it is. Depression can be a life long affliction, and should not be ridiculed or down played.

You're correct. Now go and look for instances where it is actually being downplayed.

Collymore is just a shock jock trying to drum up business by being confrontational. I'm happy when people openly support Villa, especially in high profile positions, but he isn't very coherent, and i don't think people should take too much notice.

I don't like Collymore or want him connected with Villa in an official capacity. But pretty much everything he said tonight I agree with.

Also, it's good that someone in the media is calling out the correct players who head the list of blame, rather than the lazy bollocks that we're in this mess because 'that O'Reilly bought some foreign players he'd seen on his Playstation'.

He's a fan. I don't care how coherent he is.
