    Nyron would be a worthy addition to Boyz defence
    published: Thursday | June 12, 2008


    All Over the world technical directors (TD) are known for making mind-boggling selections or shocking omissions. Whenever it comes to the picking of national squads, evidently, Jamaica's TD Rene Simoes is in no mood to shake off that mantle.

    Most will be forced to admit, whether we like it or not, that right now the Reggae Boyz lack defensive quality. Anyone who disagrees with that not only has a shocking 1-2 loss to Grenada in Wednesday's friendly international to explain, but the fact that the team has conceded a goal in their last five games against opponents of varying strength.

    Meanwhile, there are other players who have not been included in Simoes' team who could easily have been, like Sean Fraser and Khari Stephenson. In the context of the Reggae Boyz's defensive woes, the constant side-stepping of English Premier League (EPL) team, Sunderland, centre half Nyron Nosworthy, a defender who has shown the capability of holding his own in perhaps the world's best league, is an exclusion by Simoes as confounding as any.

    Obviously, adding a quality defender won't solve all our problems, but in the current crop of players he has definitely warranted inclusion.

    Need for strength
    While admitting the need to strengthen the back line, the coach has ignored a player who expressed an interest in representing the Reggae Boyz without being asked to do so, since an outstanding season in England's Championship division one year ago.
    While the TD has refused to comment on the issue, citing a need to avoid a bad situation, which arose in Trinidad, reports indicate that the coach was not impressed enough with the defender. Not impressed enough, well sir, that would be interesting.

    For those of us who have watched the defender for most of the season - and this does not only speak to the local fan base, but the international ones who are just as fervent in their support of the Reggae Boyz - he certainly was.

    In fact, the defender seemed to have done enough to impress former TD Velibor Milutinovic, who had called the player for the Jamaica versus Ghana friendly but had seen the game called off.

    In several competent displays last season for struggling Sunderland, the centreback was praised by commentators, fans and Sunderland manager Roy Keane. Of that group someone, somewhere along the line must know something about football.

    The problem for Simoes stems from an earlier statement, in which he claimed not to know several of the players available for selection. Obviously, in just a one-week stint in England, an assessment of the defender must have been done at the wrong time or not thoroughly enough.

    Injury
    In fact, while the opinion of the TD must be respected, I dare say that anyone who has followed the EPL would keel over with laughter, should they learn of the fact that Derby County's Claude Davis, who had a howler of a season for the club, albeit carrying an injury, was selected over an available Nosworthy.

    Other overseas defensive selections include Ian Goodison who, I must commend for having an excellent season for Tranmere Rovers in the English Division one, but I have my doubts it would have been the same if he played in the top flight. Another defender, Simon Ford who plays in the Scottish Premier League, was recommended by former Reggae Boy Fitzroy Simpson. Well, let's see, maybe we can petition the Jamaica Football Federation to involve Nosworthy in the team. Start the emails.


    BLACK LIVES MATTER

    He made the excelelnt point, albeit not explicitly, that the squad should be assembled with the positive outlook of an eye on actually qualifying for World Cup 2010 and or moving the TEAM towards (I said towards) Top OF THE WORLD status!

    The question that comes to mind is can some of our defenders (and other players) keep cutting it...let's be positive...as we advance to meeting increasingly greater and greater technically gifted TEAMs and players?

    I know...I know...many coaches focus only on getting by 1 match at a time. In our case we first meet the CFU minnows. As fact, in terms of world quality teams and players really awful TEAMs and players.

    So...should our outlook be towards that increasingly higher quality teams...or should we remain, as some would say, grounded in getting by the minnows? After all we cannot escape the truism that we have to get by the minnows to meet the higher quality teams and players.
    So...

          So Simoes claming he's giving everyone a chance yet a defender that's recognized by viewers, coaches, and commentators is not getting a look because Simoes tink him nuh good. I would love to know how Simoes got this decison...How many games did he waitch on video? Does he really do his homework when inviting players to camp? Like all the players he invited and kept on the bench..did he do his homework or did he just met them in UK and invited them based on conversations....Is there a method to Simoes madness?
          So no stewpeas and no Nyron..other than the defenders thatnstarted the game...what capable replacements do we have if anyone of them should get injured?

            Still doh, when it comes down to it, if Simoes say him nuh good, den dat's dat's! For instance, Fuller coulda play inna di BPL till di Barclays logo imprint pon him forehead, him still woulden get nuh call up from me if me was di coach!

            If Simoes nuh like Nosworthy, or Shavar, of Stew Peas, or Maestro, or Obrian White, den a suh! His only mandate (gyaldate?) is to get us to the WC with the players that he does like.

              Is that all? What if he fails, then wat do we do, cry over it? It should be his job to be knowledgeable about all eligible players bfor JA. He owe the supporters of Football an explanation on why a well regarded player is not been considered....especially when the team does poorly

                  Drunk Driving Conviction - Was it a felony?

                  .... We run down every UB40 why not this one? Was it because of the DWI conviction while license was suspended?

                  The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.

                      Our media? Yuh mad?!?!

                      Well, to be fair, even Oral Tracey has begun to lick out, so maybe one day we'll get a horde of them asking the right questions and writing the right articles, not just reporting.

                      Some journalist by the name of Paul Reid is going to get himself in trouble with some of the articles I see him write. Mek him stay deh!

                              i have spent hours analizing nyron nosworthy's performances in the premiership this season and in my opinion he is in the top ten centre backs in the premier league, we as reggae boyz fans in the uk just cant understand why he is being ignored.
