Those Kick Out Zwarte Piet types shouldn’t be demonstrating in Staphorst either. Just don’t do it, not even in Urk, otherwise you will get this mess. Analysis by football expert Johan Derksen in The Orange Winterabout the make-up defenders of a Dutch tradition who, unhindered by the police, killed demonstrators and Amnesty representatives at Staphorst on Saturday.
In-depth football analysis is not yet in the first broadcast on Sunday The Orange Winterthe World Cup football variant of Inside today. Never mind, the championship in Qatar is only a few hours old when the program sees the light of day. Main differences between this and the regular broadcast of the SBS6 pearl: a pseudo-Arab decor, Özcan – ‘Eus’ – Akyol serving tea that René van der Gijp, alias ‘Gijp’, finds ‘undrinkable’.
By the way, did we know that not only Matthijs van Nieuwkerk – according to Gijp: a moron, a madman, a narcissist, a man with an intellectual disability who DWDD supported by that woman, editor-in-chief Dieuwke Wynia, could play the tyrant – but Louis van Gaal also humiliates people? Even his own wife, Gijp has heard, can’t escape it, at dinner parties. When Louis has something to drink, he becomes more extreme. ‘Then people say: stop now or we’ll go home.’ Nothing new, ‘we know that, don’t we? He’s a narcissist who thinks he’s God.
By the way, stories about Kees Jansma and Jack van Gelder have also been circulating at the Mediapark for years. ‘If those people humiliate them, the worst thing there is, then they are also crazy’, Gijp continues. “And if you do, you’re crazy too, Eus.” Eus, friends with Matthijs and just as surprised as everyone about the shocking stories in the newspaper, spoke to him on Sunday morning. Feels sorry for the presenter too: ‘I feel sorry for him.’
The Orange Winter is infotainment on a bed of gossip and cheap opinions, which exists by the grace of objects like Van Gaal. And with the vanity of elderly sports connoisseurs who find no airplay much worse than being the target of backbiting. Speaking of the information: reporter Noa Vahle (from the section ‘Noa in Doha’) provides a witty report from Qatar. In the empty stadium where the Orange squad plays football, she stands in front of the camera with goosebumps. The air conditioning is already roaring 24 hours before the game: ‘They don’t have to pay attention to the gas bill here.’
No less funny, and also a bit disconcerting, are Vahle’s futile attempts to ask a question at a press conference with Van Gaal and footballer Virgil van Dijk. An African reporter does get the floor: he gives an endless, fully broadcast speech that makes everyone, including Van Dijk and Van Gaal, giggle. What was the question about? Vahle: “Um, I forgot.”
