Emotions were already running high on the field with nine yellow cards and a whole series of riots during the Ajax-PSV cup match on Sunday. When the team from Eindhoven celebrated a party in the catacombs of the Rotterdam Kuip after a slightly better series of penalties, things went completely wrong in part of the stadium.
Frustrated Ajax supporters caused destruction during the retreat. Toilets were broken down, chairs were broken at the adjacent train station, a lot of damage was done. There seems to be no end to the misconduct of so-called supporters, in this case that of Ajax. Professional football in 2023 will be hijacked by vandals who go crazy, especially if they lose. The misconduct is a serious threat to the industry. The image of miscreants throwing fireworks on the field and pelting players and referees with beer and objects is unbearable. Not to mention the incident with an FC Groningen player who was hit by his own ‘supporter’. Staying at home suddenly becomes an option.
beer thrower
Rightly so, the FC Groningen-NEC match was recently stopped by such a beer thrower. A fine for the club and overplaying in an empty stadium. When the game was stopped after eighteen minutes, the image of parents with young children who had come to the Euroborg to see a nice game of football was sad. Thick reports have been written about combating football hooliganism. In addition to the stadium ban, an important part must always be the tit-for-tat approach. Vandals have to hit you hard in their wallets. It’s the only way to make them feel that their behavior is wrong. Make an inventory of the damage and recourse against the perpetrators with all camera images that can be found. If nothing can be picked from the bald chicken at that time, the bill for destroyed stadium furniture, damage to trains or additional costs for playing stopped matches will be presented later. This debt does not expire.
