Billy Kee 14:30 - Sep 21 with 2610 views | BlueandTruesince82 | As I'm sure most people recall our amazing traveling blue and white army knocked up a banner showing support for Billy Kee and what he was going through.... a gesture that shows why I think we have the best fans in the league... For anyone interested Billy speaks very candidly to the BBC about rebuilding his life after football. As well as a really good read I think it's also a stark reminder in difficult times of how debilitating anxiety and depression can be...give it a read and remember if you are struggling talk to someone and take action before things spiral.... it takes courage to open up like Billy has done but you will feel better for it https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54189703 |  |

I don't recall anyone mocking Downes when he mentioned mental health issues last season. I also dont think he was claiming to suffer to the same lengths that Billy Kee clearly does. Downes was relating to the kind of mental health pressures that most of us experience. [Post edited 21 Sep 2020 16:43]

Didn't see it. Certainly don't think the latest transfer saga compares to the Billy Kee issues. |  |

I'm not sure you have any idea what i'm talking about based on what you're saying. |  |

There was one poster in particular who could not understand that a rich footballer could possibly have any mental struggles. Thanks for the OP. It reminds us that we have some superb fans, although the opposite reaction reminds us we have a less brilliant element too. Overall I think we have excellent fans and some of what this place has done for a few people shows that too. |  |

Suspect that's not the one J2 is referring to. |  |

Ah, so there is more than this and you are still questioning it? |  |

J2 said it was a couple of days ago. Also that thread wasn't generally questioning Downes mental health. No doubt Downes has been stressed and distracted, but there has been no suggestion on his part that his situation is comparable to that of Billy Kee. |  |

That wasn't the general tone though. Who was the poster, haven't got time or inclination to run through the whole thread. |  |

If you can't be bothered to read it give up commenting. It is a page and a half long and it is clearly there. |  |

That's not the thread. No one ever suggested Downes had it like Kee did. Really not sure what your point is. Someone was mocking the idea that he could have had any issues. I won't post it here as it seems like sh1t stirring to be honest but to prove i'm not making it up i'll find it and PM it. Edit: Can't find the thread so will have to retract it. Maybe it's further back than I thought or maybe I didn't actually post on the thread so won't find it looking back through my posts. [Post edited 21 Sep 2020 20:54]

No probs. I'm sure some doubt footballers can have mental health issues, but I think they are in a minority. |  |
