"Just stop professional football in the Netherlands, I mean that. If we can't behave normally in the stadium, maybe we should just stop... It should be 0-3 to Feyenoord, make it 0-5 if they say 'we could have scored more'"

"People did this deliberately, on purpose. The most important game in the Netherlands had to be stopped."

"Empty stadiums are not an option, we saw that during COVID."

"If it's so important, politicians should make it an issue. It's madness."

"I'm glad COVID is over but since then we had to deal with this misery every week."

"Make it so that the banned fans have to report to the police before games, enforce it. They do it in England. Apparently they think it's too much work here."

[Gouka] Feyenoord's management insists on 0-3 as final outcome of de Klassieker. Ajax does not agree, according to insiders. Playing out the game within 72 hours (as per the rules) is a problem. Ajax can't organize that and catch-up match with Volendam also tricky. KNVB decides tomorrow.

Instead of stopping all professional football in the Netherlands, stop all those games with teams that repetitively cause problems. There is definitely too many games with issues, but not the majority of them. Then again, Van Basten, probably has his red/white glasses on again, and sees Ajax as the epicentre of Dutch football.

Not relevant to this discussion but all "big" clubs in The Netherlands are red and white

I prioritised the flow of the sentence ;) Top 5 currently are red/white, and then adding the ones at the bottom of the table (Almere, Utrecht en Ajax) you have 8 out of 18.

Huh. Never realised that, but you're absolutely right! That's so weird 😄

Ah yes, why can't the politics people just wave their political wand and stop people from doing things that are already illegal.
