René van der Gijp thinks that Sjoerd van Ramshorst should have intervened immediately when Pierre van Hooijdonk went wild at Ajax coach Maurice Steijn at his talk show table. “He’s very mediocre.”
There has been a lot of fuss about statements made by football analyst Pierre van Hooijdonk on Sunday evening in the talk show Studio Voetbal. He has accused Ajax coach Maurice Steijn without substantiation of ‘involvement in shady deals with befriended agents’. The NOS has now decided to ban him as a table guest for the time being.
Mediocre presenter
René van der Gijp believes that Studio Football presenter Sjoerd van Ramshorst has also completely failed. “Of course you also have to deal with a very mediocre presenter, who could of course have rectified that at the time,” he responds in Inside today.
That gauntlet was picked up on the broadcast by Studio Football guest Rafael van der Vaart, according to Wilfred Genee. “I think that’s why Van der Vaart did it again. He then picked it up again, because he was like: what the hell is going on here?”
Ridiculous
René doesn’t think it’s good that Pierre has now been put on hold. “I think it is ridiculous. I think it’s really ridiculous. I also find it ridiculous with Danny Nelissen. With him I still find – and then you can talk about hierarchy and that and such and such – but if you are a woman in the car with someone that bothers you, you can say that right away.”
Cycling commentator Danny Nelissen has been put on hold after the story of colleague Marijn de Vries. It should be possible to go a little too far, says VI guest Job Knoester. “That’s why you get boring programmes, because they’re afraid to fail. If you overshoot a bit, you get this.”
‘Very bad’
Johan Derksen: “I completely agree with René. I am very sorry. The policy of the NOS: they will not want me, but I would never want to work there either. You cannot make a mistake there and at those talk show tables those people demand that you enter into a discussion.”
A Danny like that should just return, says Johan. “Danny knows all the ins and outs and knows which rider’s wife is f**king with another rider and stuff like that. He can tell you about it with taste. And then there is one of those hats in the back who is apparently annoyed by that.”
