Not knowing a lot about Tonbridge (apart from where the athletics track is...But that's not football), I don't know if these were 'star' players or not. However there's one thing he (the manager) says I do concur with...

" "Unfortunately the keyboard is a coward's weapon and whether you like it or lump it runs through every level of football.

"Sometimes the internet is very very good and sometimes it's very very negative."

Couldn't agree more. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but (and this is what I think the above comments are alluding too), if it becomes personal or targetted, people become faceless and 'trool-like' (just insulting people for the sake of it).

If I was part of Tonbridge, I'd be looking for these people and, if found to be personal, bar them from the club.

Any thoughts?

Easy excuse / Poor excuse - should be bigger than them

OR if the players are not hardy enough = should not read them

Will theses two players get even more stick were there end up

If footballers can't handle comments on the internet, then they won't last two seconds on a football pitch. Bunch of cry babies!

The story broke a couple of weeks ago. It was reported that at a meet the manager meeting on 1 May TW said both players left because of forum comments. Full report can be found on kentish football website.

Cade didn't have the best of seasons by all accounts and Storey having recovered from an injury was finding it hard to regain his position. I understand that both players have signed for ex TA boss and former WUFC player Tony Dolby at Hastings.

Boothy has apparently signed for another season at Longmead.
