02 Apr 2006: Roda JC - Ajax

[Kowalczyk]

Only one game in between (NAC at home) before Roda will get the chance to take revenge for their painful (and undeserved) Gatorade Cup knock-out at the Amsterdam ArenA. Roda vs Ajax at Parkstad Limburg Stadium in Kerkrade; Ajax won the last two editions, but this is normally a tough fixture (and a long drive)...

...but this is normally a tough fixture (and a long drive)...

K.

Yeah, but you get to enjoy driving up all those mountains ;)

[Kowalczyk]

I am looking forward to this one, but for some reason I hardly realize how much is at stake. If we lose this one we are in serious, serious trouble, for the simple reason that play-off qualification will officially be out of our hands in that case (in other words: other teams such as Utrecht will have to lose).

The remaining games will be so important. No mistakes may be made.

Hm perhaps the team shouldve considered that at the Begining of the season..

Well anyways, I have reason to keep faith. At first we had problems up front, Huntelaar solved it. Now we have it at the back due to injuries and transfers. I'm sure a last gasp hero can save the day

[Dubbel]

A loss will have us put out a mortgage on the 'lucky ajax factor' in order to at least qualify for the play-offs. It might be the best way to prepare for them though. If the team feels that they are knocked out, and it turns out that they manage to qualify anyway, it may just give them enough boost to lift us over AZ and Feyenoord. Am I making sense here?

Yeah, that makes sense - you mean like Denmark in the '92 European Championships.........lets hope the rollercoaster ride isn't too long though......

I think you're making sense 'psychologically'. But do we want to take the risk...? I'd rather win, to be honest...

Im hoping Utrecht drop points tonight, because I would rather play feyenoord first and then AZ, bit of a warm up game :yes:

Yeah thats true. Surely anytime we play AZ and esp Feyenoord we should have enough "boost" to lift our game anyway. imo.

Just a side note. RKC's goal was scored after an assist from future ajax winger Krohn-Dehli who is returning to form after some injury woes.

There. two posts in one day. Non of them relevant. Man am I on a role today. :bis:

Aha. Excellent. And Cali will be on summer time too, starting 2:30 AM, which is just in time for me to catch an extra hour sleep. Or am I kidding myself?

Dubbel, maybe you should stay in bed.

Roelof Luinge is the ref :scared: :D

[Dubbel]

OMG. Not only will we lose this match but Roelof will sent off Huntelaar and Vermaelen. And yet, the Dubbel will get out of bed! :D

By the way; Oper, who scored for Roda against us last week, is injured and won't play.

[Ayman]

0-1 Ajax...terrific start, Klaas Jan Huntelaar after 18 minutes!!! :eusa_dance:

[Dubbel]

Yeah, nice header after a cross from Rosales. Right after he received an elbow from Kah, should have been a red card, that forced him to go to the side.

[Ayman]

Shit its 1-1 an Own goal by Lindenburgh....Chin up lads...WE CAN DO THIS!!!! :yes:

[dws]

Huntelaar could have had a second goal, but his shot came back of the cross bar and Boukhari blazed a shot over when clean through on the right.

[Ayman]

What channel you watching the game on dws?

[Ayman]

ARE WE GOING TO SCORE OR ARE WE JUST PISSING ABOUT? COME ON MAN FOR F*CKS SAKE!!!!

[Ayman]

Godfedamme!!! JuanFran sent off!!!
