FC Groningen - Roda JC 1-1


R E D!!!!!!!

Considering that Meerdink got ejected with more then an hour to play, the 1-1 score is quite an accomplishment. Not too many spectators thought the red card was justified. On monday the judicial committee from the Royal Dutch Soccer Association concluded that the red card should not have been issued and therefore no consequences for Meerdink other then the fact that he did not get to play the entire game. The referee agreed that he made a mistake after seeing the game video but guess what; too little, too late. But, time to move on, it's water under the bridge and Vitesse Arnhem will try to make tomorrow's game a "Bridge too far" for the Groningeners.
