Garry Lyon has also belittled himself a fair bit on the Footy Show, as well, or at least put himself up for ridicule. Again, I think 'belittling' others is overstating it, and I'd like to see some examples of whatever this is. We also don't know whether the mental illness is a precondition or a consequence of his affair, so I'm not sure that he in fact created his hour of need.
No-one has to give a sh!t about him, and in fact, the world would be a better place if no-one did and just let him be to sort out his stuff.

Help keeping it in his pants Booney? You don't buy this 'mental health condition' bit do you? Sounds like he's been plonking his mate's wife and maybe he has been for years. It's a dead set no go area. This mental health condition is a cop out, at least that's how I see it. The Nine PR machine says 'no one will have a crack at him if we roll this out and maybe we can get him back on air, think of the ratings'. But if he comes out and admits he plonked his mate's missus he's a less marketable figure.
The mental health angle might have some validity to it...he's ****** up and he rightly feels like an arsehole...but he's committed another clanger by hiding from it in such a way because there are people who face much bigger battles. There's been a lot of scuttlebutt (read Bullshit maybe) about the Coke scene with some of these blokes. Despite the fact that I find it very hard to feel sorry for any of those blokes (I'm sure Billy is no angel) they are both are entitled to their privacy regardless of prior media involvement. The person who really needs support is Brownless.

They are not related other than rooting your best mates missus and then getting caught will make you depressed as everyone thinks you're a Prick!!!

I'm as cynical as the next drunk 40 year old, but I've come to understand mental illness more over the last 5 or so years with two close mates going through differing circumstances and I reakon it's one thing you don't question somebody over, I'm certainly not going to call bullshit on someone I don't know, have never met or have anything to do with.

So if he does have a mental health issue which we have no reason to doubt otherwise, this excuses his actions somehow?
I'm lost!

They are definitely related!!!
In Lyons scenario (it could be im not saying it is) that his actions of rooting his best mates missuses could have led him into a state of depression which is a mental illness.
It could have........... But he chose to bang her............I was always told as a youngster that my actions have consequences so think first.

Im not sure that we are questioning Lyon. I think we are more questioning whether its PR spin from media managers to paint Lyon in a better light.
By the way I have been through this myself and know the seriousness of mental health

Some people on here are quite upset that Lyon shagged Brownless' Mrs, like it's the first and /or last time that'll ever happen in the history of the world! lol
