I was told on Friday we had offered to pay him out and he refused as he is on full pay....not sure if this is true but it was some-one who is not the type to make things up.

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 ?

Most approaches to treating mental health are holistic...Basically whatever suits the client, if it be a concert, gym or shopping trip it is irrelevant. The treatment is about getting the client to full health, it is not clear what triggered his stress, what level he is at and what care plan is in place so it would be wrong to judge.
Also on topic most industries pay 6 months full pay, then 6 months half pay, although I am not sure where professional sports people stand, I know most have insurance so not sure if that is triggered, or how it affects the salary cap etc.

Are you "expected" to sit round all the time when your on sick...that makes it worse..i was told to go about my days as normal and i did...went to rugby and was spotted by a boss...he asked a kid at work that i cant be that "bad" as i was at rugby...to which he replied...how do you know..you his fooking consultant.

Nail on the head...The biggest problem is there is so much ignorance, lack of understanding and stigma attached to mental health....every-body suddenly becomes a consultant ...they have not got a clue, it affects 1 in 5 people and their families.

Its pretty clear what triggered his "stress", but obviously it's not allowed to be commented on

I've got better things to do than monitor this today, and other mods may have different views, but back on topic, no speculation about Gleeson, or what he's doing tonight.

No probs for me with discussion based on the op, but keep it there or this goes

Forgive me but I genuinely do not understand your post, Gleeson is an FC player and we are all aware he is not playing due to stress, I personally see no problem about any-one questioning the fact he is going to a concert because tbh not every-one is aware about how mental illness is treated and clearly it is an opportunity for people to possibly gain a better understanding, and why can people not speculate about what may happen regarding his playing career for FC ?
