Danny Buijs furious on referee Makkelie after controversial decisions

“With that audience behind it you play against twelve men, today it was almost thirteen men. In two goals they play a crucial role, at crucial moments, the 1-0 and the 3-1. It was not a penalty.” With this, Buijs referred to the 1-0, where Ricky van Wolfswinkel decorated and used a penalty.

In the break, Buijs Arbiter Makkelie appealed and had a message for him. “If this is a penalty according to you, then you will give fifteen penalties in a competition and if this is the level, you will not whistle much Champions League more,” he says Makkelie.

Buijs also asked Makkelie what is going on with the arbitration. After Van Wolfswinkel’s opening goal, the Fortuna coach cynically collapsed for the referee, who handed out yellow. “Are they under tension, are they under pressure? We all make mistakes. He said he was convinced (of the penalty at the 1-0, ed.). Maybe it’s better to be less convinced and to keep looking at yourself realistically.”

Buijs thought that Fortuna was disadvantaged twice. “This is simply not possible. At the 3-1, the linesman was flagging for a foul, but he lets pass and they make the 3-1 from the switch. At a certain point you no longer know where you stand. That is difficult.”

With the third goal of FC Twente, Makkelie first seemed to whistle for advantage after a foul from the Tukkers. Then Fortuna goalkeeper Mattijs Branderhorst Ball loss. Then Twente scored.
