Can`t see that myself.
But then I have been wrong on occasion.

Re: Gleeson : Mon Aug 01, 2011 5:36 pm  

I got a lot of stick on here for commenting on him being off for "stress", obviously it's not so debilitating that he can't go out to a concert with Longy tonight. I don't suppose the club were left with anywhere to go but to allow him this leave but its been several weeks now, he still isn't back and the club have not given any timetable for his return. I hope they are monitoring the situation closely. I still believe its all too easy these days for people to claim stress and get time off work causing more expense for others and there seems very little employers can do without it. It cost the Uk government over 3 billion pounds last year, imagine how many jobs and services could be saved if people had more personal responsibility ?

If he's been diagnosed as suffering from clinical depression, then it's not just a case of 'taking more responsibility'. And I don't know if it's crossed your mind, but do you reckon the mental strain of going to a concert with your mate is the same as that involved with being at work full time?

Thinking about it,if he wants stress he should sit in the stands with us.

Yes some do take the mick but try saying that to my relative who had a sawn off stuck in his back and told to open the safe.

According to the club he is on compassionate leave rather than off sick.
