Gleeson handed one-month ban
The 25-year-old was hoping to simply maintain his fitness levels by playing in the small-sided competition at Bournemouth, but he has now landed himself in hot water, with his weekly wages also being withdrawn for the duration of his sentence. The midfielder’s suspension began yesterday, forcing him to miss Dorchester’s 2-2 draw at Hampton & Richmond, and ends the day after the second qualifying round of the FA Cup on September 25. Boss Ashley Vickers insists Gleeson, whose brother Lee is serving a two-month ban for his part in the incident, will learn his lesson. He said: “He’s got a one-month suspension for an altercation. It’s a blow and he realises he shouldn’t have been doing it. “Some part-time players do play in these five-a-side leagues to keep themselves ticking over. However, they are then targeted by other players who try to get a reaction out of them. “It’s good that he wants to keep his fitness levels up but he would be better off going to the gym. “He knows I’m disappointed and he knows the chairman Shaun Hearn is as well. “He’s agreed not to receive any wages during the suspension and it’s something he will learn from as it gives someone else an opportunity. He won’t do it again.” Meanwhile, Vickers will today continue his pursuit of an unnamed Blue Square Bet Premier striker, who he hopes to bring in on loan. The county town chief added: “Hopefully a deal will materialise soon.” * Jake Smeeton’s intended loan move to Gillingham Town fell through last week, prompting a similar switch to Poole Town instead. The defender celebrated his move by helping the Dolphins to a 3-0 win over Bishop Sutton in the preliminary round of the FA Cup.
