Crazy match : Dutch Cup final, Zwolle v Ajax

Post by Weybridge »

- Ajax go 1-0 up inside 3 mins.
- Match is suspended due to fans lobbing flares on the pitch, and turning the stadium into one giant cloud of smoke.
- Match restarts, and now Ajax, despite having 70% of the possession are 5-1 down after 50 mins!

Are they on backhanders or something?

Still 20 mins to go...

Only just caught up with this Weybridge... AMAZING!!!

*ICKLE* PEC Zwolle! Unbelievable. Well worth a watch of the vid (look out for van der Sar, telling them to "stop this $h!t"!) :D

(Agree too, it's *almost* as if something very 'peculiar' has gone on. It was the Ajax fans who lobbed all the flares. Wonder if they were 'worrying' about Yurp - or something? Pre-emptive?). I still shudder when I think of that story of that chap with his Dad, who looked down at him after a flare came across the stadium, to find his Dad's head a bl**dy mess (dead). :(

You can see the scorch marks on the pitch, quite pronounced. I wonder what UEFA will make of it. de Boer looked 'unimpressed' - but then that was his default expression IIRC. Noticed van Gaal going 'incognito' too...

Worth noting (for those that are unaware), some of their attendances <5,000, though they seem to mostly sell-out their 12,500 seater stadium - again, after much 'troubles' off the field, in the recent past.

(Appreciate though that the Eredivisie is a complete different kettle of fish).

That Ajax goal isn't too shabby.
