23 SEP 2015 Ajax - de Graafschap Dutch Cup

[Orange14]

No rest for the weary with a cup tie coming up. You are all on your own for this one as because of the time difference here in the states, I'll still be repenting my sins on Yom Kippur.

[Cruijff]

Ai ai.

We're gonna miss your player ratings.

I should have come to Amsterdam to go to synagogue; I'm sure the Rabbi would have concluded things in time for the game!!!!

[SPL]

Tete,Cillessen and Riedewald all rested and Sanogo the only injury. Onana will be sub goalie and Heits and Serero back in the squad and may well start.

[SPL]

playing 3-4-3

Boer

V Rhijn,v dHoorn Viegever

Bazoer,Gudelj,Schone,Sinkgraven

El Ghazi, Milik ,Fischer

So Klaassen and all 4 regular defenders rested. Heits still does not play ,signing him is a joke .

Will catch this on cricfree.

[SPL]

cricfree has 3 streams listed .

[SPL]

they are not working . Not sure of any other streams

Well de Graafschap aren't much opposition. We have had loads of advanced possession without creating great chances (the 100s of crosses are almost completely pointless. Who decided that was a good idea?). We finally score off a 3-touch counter attack.

[SPL]

cant get a stream so will follow the game on ajax twitter. One more goal should be enough.

[Tom_]

You're not missing out on a great deal: we played with a bit of energy in the first half, which was nice for a change, but the quality has been low-ish. I'll be very surprised if we don't win!

[Tom_]

Ha, worth it just for that! Heitinga comes on for the first time in the 80th minute and scores in the 85th. Crowd goes wild! Best part of it is that he knew nothing about it, it was a lucky ricochet. Classic.

[Tom_]

FdB plays along and picks him as man of the match. Good PR job there

[SPL]

I found a stream for the 2nd half ,only highlight Heits scoring.what a comeback. At least we won.

[Orange14]

Sounds like being in synagogue all day was better than watching the cup match!

[SPL]

Well for the next round there are 11 eredivisie sides, 9 from the Jupiler and 11 non league teams we could get.

Guess who we get! Yes Fword away and only 10 days before we play them in the league also at the cockpit.

[Cruijff]

Yesss nice!

I'm gonna contact my Rotterdam contact for tickets so I can sit in between with the kakkerlakken.

Several Fword guys I know are already shitting their pants for again an early exit.

I'm gonna contact my Rotterdam contact for tickets so I can sit in between with the kakkerlakken.

Sounds like fun, just keep quiet when the 0–3 goes in eh?

[Cruijff]

Haha yes, during a very fine 0-4 Ajax victory in 2006 I pretended that after the first goal I was in a very sad mood.

A couple of goals later all those cockroaches joined me in talking about how shitty their team was.
