Topic: Dutch - Eredivisie

Im sure it very fun having an 8pm kickoff with a possible extra time game where dont leave the game till after 11 or midnight. I feel it would be a terrible viewing experience and match going experience. I know when i sit down to watch a match it going to be max 2 hours, changing that where it might be 2 and half or 3.

That won't happen tho, the game will speed up, you think theyre still going to waste 40 odd minutes a game with the clock stopped?

Will all the stoppages I would expect the game to take at least 2 hours. It already take about 2 hours and avg time in play is about 50ish in the PL. Bundesliga probably the closest to 60

So, you do like the rolling around and faking injuries, in order to waste time?

Yeah, possibly. A lot of stoppages / 'injuries' are designed to break up the momentum of the other team, so taking a 5 minute break even with the clock stopped will still happen.

The KNVB is looking to experiment with new rules during the 2023/24 Keuken Kampioen Divisie.

- Kicking the ball in from a throw-in
- Can dribble from a free-kick
- Unlimited subs
- A five minute sin bin
- Two halfs of 30 minutes. Clock stops when ball not in play.

I disagree. We're seeing average ball-in-play time in the Premier League of 56 minutes anyway. So changing it to a stopped clock system adds 4 minutes.

All the time wasting diminishes because there's literally no point and becomes so much clearer.

It's the one rule change I think the game is desperate for. Jordan Pickford spent 4 minutes and 20 seconds in the recent Derby against ourselves setting up and taking goal kicks collectively in the game. That sort of thing vanishes immediately.

Feyenoord 1-1 Ajax.

There doesn't seem to be any Ajax fans there. You could hear a pin drop when they equalised. Odd.

Would be a huge win if Feyenoord pulled it off. Top of the table, two points ahead of PSV.

[TheShanklyGates]

Feyenood won 3-2 away to Ajax today after being 2-1 down at half time. They're now 6 points clear at the top with 8 games left to play. Would be awesome if they can finish the job - nothing against Ajax but it's always nice to see someone else win a league where one team is usually dominant.

Feyenoord are class side Arne Slot is a really good coach was very impressed with Feyenoord in the Conference League final last season against Roma, Can see Slot being targeted by a lot of the clubs around Europe once this season finishes.

There's been a ban on away fans between the two clubs since 2009.

[disgraced cake]

Yeah, Arne Slot doing a great job. Feyenoord look like they can go on and win the title now with a six point gap at this stage. Still have a very good chance of a 2nd straight European final too which would be a massive achievement. Recruited some really good players too.

So what do people think of Gravenberch?

[Tobelius]

So what do people think of Gravenberch?

Can't really say,only seen him for play for Holland but what i've seen i've liked mostly.

Looked to have a smoothness to his technique and movement,different from say someone like Gallagher and yes less intense and involved style as well but what i liked about him was his touch and ball carrying ability,his pace is surprisingly good,a big man who moves well.

A bit worrying he's played so little for Bayern and national team games are so different to PL league games they are nothing to gauge a player by.

Absolutely. Hopefully he'll pull through and be okay.

Watching Go Ahead Eagles and Fortuna Sittard, Eagles playsome really nice combinations and sweeping passing movements, winning 1-0 at half-time...

Ajax Feyenoord abandoned due to Ajax fans vandalising their own stadium, for being 3-0 down. Crazy scenes really

yeah that's shocking, the result should stand surely, they can't be allowed to restart the game.

I saw the score at 0-3 and wondered if it would get spicy. I didn't expect such Manc behaviour from Ajax though. I just saw them breaking into and vandalising their own ground. Mounted police charging fans outside too.

[Drinks Sangria]

Wild scenes. The result should stand, or Ajax given a forfeited result of the same and a points deduction or hefty fine.

Ajax’s squad looks the weakest and most depleted it’s been in years.

[Gili Gulu]

I'm assuming Ajax will forfeit, and Feyenoord will be given the three points and a 3-nil win.
Ajax should get a points deduction, with a higher points deduction suspended that would see them out of the European places.

[Red Beret]

I can understand supporters' frustrations boiling over, but nothing justifies this. Ajax might have to face playing a number of games behind closed doors too.

[TheShanklyGates]

Ajax 17th (2nd bottom) in the league after losing to Utrecht today. Just the 22 points behind PSV.

[Crosby Nick]

How come Ajax are doing so badly?

[skipper757]

How come Ajax are doing so badly?

Might be a combination of trying to replace a lot of players/coaches that eventually catches up to you combined with all around incompetence.  Their manager was just sacked.  Saw some Ajax fans complain that he only got hired because of the local "jobs for the boys" mentality (De Telegraaf seems to amplify this with their reporting).  The Overmars scandal and replacing him with Mislintat seems to have backfired also (Mislintat was just sacked).

Looks like an all-around mismanaged mess.  Maybe a Eredivisie fan could shed more light.

[cloggypop]

How come Ajax are doing so badly?

It all started with Overmars sending dick pics to various female employees.

[Redsnappa]

Away at Brighton in the Europa on Thursday. Shame our game is on the same time, cos I'd like to see how Ajax play now to be so inept in their own League.

I mean, AJAX ffs

Never go full dick pic?
