Quote: John Gilbert Reds "Funny how his mental health issues only came to surface during his suspension for going away on holiday to the South of France with Lama Tasi to meet up with the Catalan Kiwi’s and then arriving back late and missing a couple of training sessions. Unlike Lama, who took his punishment, Chase was having none of it believing he was above “punishment”. His excuse for missing those training sessions was that he was “sick” and days after he missed the training sessions, he handed in a sick note.
Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with me mentally but I could go to the doctors this morning and get sick note for depression and sign myself off from work for a week or two.
Lets see what the tribunal decide. I just hope Rangi isn’t using mental health as a tool to try and get more money from the club.
Ps – all this after apparently money is no motivator for him anymore, hence his move to the Championship in order to “fall in love” with the game again. Yeah right, Rangi.'"
As much as I have the upmost sympathy for anyone genuinely suffering with mental health problems I think it's a card that can be used frequently by certain types of people to suit their circumstances. Dare challenge the authenticity of a person's supposed condition and risk the wrath of a hundred sympathisers breathing fire through their nostrils. There is a difference between depression and disengagement and I think it's quite often the latter.
