Socceroos don't need Craig Moore!

Every journo in the country wants Craig Moore back in the Socceroos.

Every player says we need Moore. We don't, and I don't want him nor his thuggish style.

Craig Moore has played and achieved great things for Rangers and the Socceroos. But he came back to Australia younger than many.

Why?

Because he's slowing, and quickly. And the worst thing to see is Moory becoming thuggish.

Yesterday he crunched, or cheated, Archie Thompson out of the play on many occasions. And he's doing it every week to every pacey individual with skill and he's hurting the skill factor of the league.

He's such a great player, he's a true professional, he's great to watch, so say his chorus of mates in media world.

No, he's a cheat, who hits players, defends off the ball with a kick or an elbow. He's lucky to survive when other players are getting sent-off and booked for what.

A dodgy hand held card, a bit of verbals or some other minor dismeanor.

And Moory for the National team. What next Kevin Muscat or Danny Tiatto? Give it up.

In his last game against Qatar,in the second-half he embarrassed the national jersey. And do you think he's got faster since then?

Kevin Muscat reduced many internationalists to mere karate mates as his international career waned, and Moory is/would do the same.

I don't want to see him in the Australian shirt again. It's not the way we want to get to the World Cup.

He's retired, Pim leave him retired and him and me keep the Craig Moore, Socceroo memories in tact.

i`ve got as much chance of suiting up for the socceroos as craig moore.

saying your available and having your mates say nice things won`t change any thing.

pim does his own thing. would a local coach have trusted their instincts and chosen a lower league battler like coyne?

north will be ahead in the pecking order. vargas? thwaite (if the ankles weren`t so bad), the younger griffiths? if there isn`t a local central defender better than moore available, i guess we are in trouble.

clayton

ps. free robbie kruse! tahj minniecon and michael zullo? more please. yeah, stay at home and develop? i mean, watch from the bench? they can do that in europe. for more money.

I'm thinking the order at this stage is

North
Coyne
Beauchamp
Spiranovic
Clayton

Then and only then
Moore, Thwaite ( has a lot to do) Vargas, (Forget it)

Free Kruse right on bro...but where is he.

He could take the Roar to the title!!

Agreed.

For a while they things didn't look so great down back, but I think Pim -- as you pointed out -- has the options now.

No need to halt the progress of the guy's being brought through.
