Let's hope no-one you care about is ever accused of 'playing the mental health card' and, as a result, denied the support, help or consideration you'd want for them when they'd need it most.
Your original mental health post definitely introduced a welcome different angle and certainly challenged me to think again as to whether I was being bigoted.
What seems suspicious to me is how it was a vague statement after his second driving infraction and didn't form part of his defence for the original offence. He already had 11 points on his license when he did it.
The club has a psychologist which has worked with him for, I think, 4 years or so now you'd think that any legitimate mental health issues would've been identified and used as part of his defence.
The performance of Premier League players is what brings success and riches, I'd be amazed to think that the psychical and mental condition of players isn't one of the single most important things for the business. In addition, Ibe is a multimillionaire with access to the best mental healthcare money can buy.
It's very unlikely AFCBFan or anyone connected with him/her is anywhere near as privileged.
We've had some great posts on mental health recently and a few posters talking about their personal experiences. It would be awesome to get to the point where guys are talking about mental health in the same way as we talk about doing our shoulders laying some decking but I'm not convinced pampered footballers committing random acts of vandalism is helpful to that cause.
Personally, and I fully appreciate this is all speculative, painting Ibe as a victim to me on balance feels more like media training from his agent after a series of high profile incidents at a sensitive time in his contract.
