If it's a realistic offer than there's nothing wrong, when it's a rubbish offer aimed at destroying the relation between a player and the club then you should get nuked.

It was the "hope he enforces a deal" that set me off, didn't expect those kinds of comments from you guys.

Kind of expected that. At least we off loaded Saidi & Collen.

By the way Just checked the KNVB site:

Vink will be the ref for Feyenoord v PSV. Could have been worse. Wonder if the refs always have the same linesmen, because I remember Vink's linesmen not being good at judging offside (wrong calls against Makaay).

Axe, as a professional team in a jubileum(sp) year you can''t just rely on one striker..

It's just game over if he is out..cause we dont have any other striker..well we still have Mols!

We were just in WUM mode -as is clear from my initial Silva post.

I've always posted I'm against players 'enforcing a deal'. I'm dead agianst double standards , so that also applies to players coming to Feyenoord. In fact if a player did that, I wouldn't want him, because he would do the same to us, when a 'bigger' club comes along.

By the way wouldn't be the first time Feyenord heard a rumour about Ajax wanting a player & pretended to be interested to drive up the price.

Do like Foppe did : stay with the system (4-5-1), the strength being the "coming" players from midfield. Play one of your midfielders as striker (like he did with Sno) and pray for the best.

I'd like to see you try that tactic with De Guzman upfront....I think it could work...

Funny you mention that (talked about that in the pub a few days ago). De Guzman would be a wrong pick, he offers far too much on midfield. Would like Serginho Greene tried if necessary.

Feyenoord say f@ck off to Russian billionaires in new beer commercial

Oliegeld stinkt bij Feyenoord
ROTTERDAM -

Geld stinkt niet, maar wel als het van olie komt. Russische oliemiljardairs krijgen bij Feyenoord geen voet aan de grond, hoe kleurrijk ze ook zijn. Feyenoord-coach Bert van Marwijk en commercieel directeur Chris Woerts van de Rotterdamse club wimpelen in een reclamespot een variant van Chelsea-baas Roman Abramovitsj af.


De campagne van biermerk Amstel is een persiflage op de trend dat steenrijke oliebarons à la Abramovitsj voetbalclubs opkopen. Van Marwijk en Woerts, beiden strak in het pak, wijzen in de commercial de gladde zakenman 'Amstellovich' af als hij voor De Kuip op de motorkap van zijn auto een koffer met bankbiljetten probeert te slijten. Het duo beent vervolgens resoluut richting de Kuip.

Feyenoord do not want to lose manager Van Marwijk to Dutch national team

ROTTERDAM - Trainer Bert van Marwijk moet bij Feyenoord blijven. Dat „heldere standpunt” verwoordde algemeen directeur Eric Gudde dinsdag tijdens zijn eerste nieuwjaarstoespraak in De Kuip.

De nieuwe clubleider in Rotterdam-Zuid reageerde bewust op de aanhoudende geruchtenstroom rond de 55-jarige coach. Van Marwijk, in het bezit van een contract tot medio 2009 bij Feyenoord, zou de belangrijkste kandidaat zijn om na het Europees kampioenschap komende zomer in Oostenrijk en Zwitserland bij Oranje bondscoach Marco van Basten op te volgen.

Van Marwijk heeft in zijn contract een clausule laten opnemen dat hij kan vertrekken als hij bondscoach van Nederland kan worden.

„Het zijn allemaal speculaties”, zei Gudde na zijn gloedvolle speech. „Daarom wilde ik namens Feyenoord een statement maken. Het is nu eens te meer duidelijk dat wij voor volgend seizoen Van Marwijk als trainer-coach willen behouden. Of dat inderdaad lukt? De tijd zal het leren, maar iedereen weet nu hoe Feyenoord erover denkt.”

indeed, f@ck off Dutch FA!

Meanwhile van Marwijk has stated he does NOT want to go to the National team. Bertje

Don't you mean "Biertje" (in light of that new commercial) ?

Still don't think Van Marwijk is a brilliant manager, but he does play the players on their right spot, gives them confidence and ensures it stays "quiet" at the club....no fancy tactical stuff though.

....hmm, maybe that *is* all that is needed to be a good manager

The 100-year celebration shirt for next season! Looks pretty good says I..

I very much like your current away shirt (looks classy), you should have kept it

Well for the Jubileum shirt I would have preferred a shirt without the sponsor. But I guess that's unrealistic these days.

All managers have their pro & cons. Think he choose the right system, 4-2-3-1, with the players we have. Our defence still doesn't look solid (can't with the players we have), but we concede the least goals of all clubs. Sometimes I wish he would switch Bruins & De Guzman, so Bruins would play more central, but understand he picks De Guzman, because he covers far more ground. Only thing I don't get is that Greene doesn't get a chance at right fullback (Lucius is the weakest link at the moment). Our positional game usually is very good, only time we get in trouble is v physically stronger teams.

Same here. Would have been a nice gesture by Fortis.

Think they're the best possible shirt with a sponsorname bar those stupid 'kraagjes' (which make a t-shirt a poloshirt). Expect us to break a new sales record next season.

Good we picked the old standard awaykit.

Feyenoord - PSV: Bring your iD, sections W & Z should sit down in stead of standing on the chairs all match (won't happen, will be fun) &random drugs searches will be conducted, with special attention for the section Fey is in. Don't leave any open seats in between you an the person next to you.


NEEM UW LEGITIMATIEBEWIJS MEE NAAR FEYENOORD-PSV
Feyenoord hecht er aan om bezoekers vanFeyenoord-PSV te wijzen op het feit dat zij gecontroleerd kunnen worden op het bezit van een geldig identiteitsbewijs (paspoort, rijbewijs of identiteitskaart). In de zogenaamde groene sector (vakken E/EE en J/JJ) zullen alle bezoekers worden gecontroleerd op het in bezit hebben van een identiteitsbewijs. Feyenoord adviseert eenieder dan ook om bij elk stadionbezoek een geldig identiteitsbewijs mee te nemen. Daarnaast verzoekt Feyenoord de supporters op de vakken W en Z om niet langer op de stoelen of tegen de boarding aan te gaan staan: dit levert onveilige situaties op voor u en uw medebezoekers. Bovendien wordt het zicht van de overige toeschouwers op de parterrevakken én de eerste ring er door belemmerd.


VERZOEK AAN SUPPORTERS OP DE VAKKEN W EN Z: NIET STAAN
Feyenoord verzoekt de supporters op de vakken W en Z vriendelijk doch dringend om deze tribunes te gebruiken op de manier waarvoor ze oorspronkelijk bedoeld zijn: als zittribunes. Het gebeurt op deze vakken steeds vaker en massaler dat supporters de gehele wedstrijd staan. Met name wanneer dit gebeurt op de stoelen of langs de boarding levert dit ongewenste én onveilige situaties op. De paden voor de beide parterretribunes gelden tevens als vluchtwegen in geval van nood. Het is dus van belang dat deze paden vrij blijven en dat supporters niet bij de boarding staan. Na elke thuiswedstrijd ontvangt Feyenoord bovendien talloze klachten van supporters die zitten op de eerste rijen op de eerste ring. Doordat supporters op de vakken W en Z op de stoelen staan wordt het zicht van de mensen op de eerste ring ernstig belemmerd.
Feyenoord heeft in de afgelopen maanden voorzichtig getracht een en ander onder de aandacht van de supporters te brengen maar dit heeft niet het gewenste resultaat opgeleverd. De club heeft daarom gemeend er goed aan te doen alle mensen op de vakken W en Z hier middels dit bericht nogmaals op de wijzen. Feyenoord rekent op de medewerking van alle betrokkenen.

CONTROLE OP LEGITIMATIEBEWIJZEN EN BEZIT VERDOVENDE MIDDELEN
Conform de standaardvoorwaarden van de KNVB dienen bezoekers van wedstrijden in het betaalde voetbal zich altijd te kunnen legitimeren ten overstaan van daartoe bevoegde personeel. Daaronder vallen in dit geval veiligheidsmedewerkers van Feyenoord. De lokale driehoek van de Gemeente Rotterdam heeft er bij Feyenoord op aangedrongen de controle op identiteitsbewijzen te intensiveren, net zoals de steeksproefgewijze controle op bezit verdovende middelen die met ingang van dit seizoen plaatsvindt. Feyenoord adviseert alle bezoekers daarom om zondag op tijd naar het stadion te komen en waar mogelijk, gebruik te maken van het openbaar vervoer.
Supporters die niet in het bezit zijn van een geldig legitimatiebewijs lopen het risico op een sanctiemaatregel:
1e keer niet in bezit: vermaning
2e keer niet in bezit: officiële waarschuwing
3e keer niet in bezit: lokaal stadionverbod

DENK AAN UW MEDESUPPORTERS, SCHUIF DOOR
Hoewel er genoeg zitplaatsen zijn in het stadion, komt het voor dat mensen op de trap moeten zitten. In verband met veiligheidsredenen dienen die echter vrij te blijven. We willen iedereen daarom vragen om uitsluitend op het plekje te gaan zitten waar hij of zij recht op heeft. Denk ook aan uw medesupporters en schuif zo ver mogelijk door. Neem uitsluitend plaats op de stoel waar u recht op heeft. Gebruik de stoeltjes niet voor jassen, tassen et cetera. Nogmaals, denk aan uw medesupporters, schuif gewoon even door en laten we er met zijn allen voor zorgen dat iedereen een plekje kan vinden in De Kuip. Feyenoord rekent op uw medewerking en wenst u een plezierige wedstrijd toe.

Woensdagavond: 'KRO Profiel': Het Feyenoordlegioen

In KRO Profiel van woensdagavond (uitzending 22.50 uur, Nederland 2) wordt een portret van de Rotterdamse eeuwling uitgezonden. Supporters en (oud-)spelers schetsen de geschiedenis van de club aan de Maas: van de opening van de Kuip vóór de oorlog, de treffer van Kindvall die de Europa Cup 1 in 1970 voor het eerst naar Nederland bracht, het dreigende faillissement begin jaren 90 tot de onverwachte winst van de UEFA Cup op het moment dat Nederland rouwt om de moord op Fortuyn

In Profiel supporters die leven in rood-witte huizen of De Kuip vereeuwigd hebben op hun lijf. Ook in de catacomben van de Kuip met Feyenoordverzorger Gerard Meijer, die zijn club 48 jaar dient en Giovanni van Bronckhorst die als 7-jarig jongentje al in het rood-witte shirt speelde en dit seizoen terugkeerde naar zijn enige liefde

Might be interesting

Will watch & record it for sure.

Heard we're 'after' Vitesse's Michael Janssen? they ended his contract because he hardly played in 3 years. Would be a free signing. Can't see I'm over the moon....

How about a big fat NO!!! Are we mental? Signing a guy who us "talented" but never played in 3 years time..because of hartproblems!!

NO says I!! El Ahmadi, Engelaar, Pranjic, Silva, Meeuwis...

Can't you apply for Wim Jansen's job? rate them all (got to say I hardly saw Meeuwis, good name though, know somebody who has it as his first name, he's a fat mean motherfucker )

I wish, but without the money its impossible. This Janssen case looks like another Leonard or something...better not sign anyone at all then.

Give the youth a chance, Fer, Wijnaldum, Schet etc....if we have those kind of players I really dont see the point in signing people like Janssen.

But van Marwijk is a big fat coward, still hope to get Adriaanse out of the desert.

Look what he is doing to Bruins...he puts him as a left winger...Same as with van Persie back in the days!!!

Those are the proper legends

Ajax went downhill *fast* after Bobby Harms and Sjakie Wolfs retired, clubs *need* those people. It provides some backbone and a moral benchmark (klankbord ?)

I would go for own youth too. Don't like signing unless it's a real improvement.

On who has to play centrally behind Makaay, well certainly not Hofs (he can play withdrawn right winger like he did for Holland U21). 1 of my Feyenoord mates, who works as trainer/manager, is dead sure it's better to play De Guz centrally because he covers far more ground than Luigi. I would rather see Luigi play there never the less, but kind of understand why Van Marwijk does it. With Van Persie he was certainly wrond as van Persie proved in that short period Van Marwijk played him behind the strikers (he got 1 goal a match for 6-7 matches & plenty of assists, was the best Robin played for us). Not a great fan of van Marwijk, but think he's doing OK so far.

I wouldn't want Adriaanse I rate him, but I also think he's an irritating bastard. For after Van Marwijk I would prefer Rutten (don't think he would agree though, already snubbed PSV, but that could be for the way he had to leave overthere). Really like the way Twente play, tactically very sound, phsycially strong, skill, pace, good mixture & everybody knows/does what they have to do.

Meijer is a living legend & barer of club culture. Still bloody fast for his age.

Well van Marwijk didnt do that bad I guess..but it's always something in between with him. It's boring IMO. You know which players are gonna play, you know who the subs are going to be..and even his comments are always the same.

Another negative point about him, is that he never made any play better. There are too many coaches these days, instead of proper trainers.

You cant play Hofs, Bruins and the Guzman in one team...im almost as heavy as both three together ffs!

Would love to see Bruins in a more central role with De Guzman as a support striker.

how are your "Germans" doings these days

Sahin, Makaay and van Marwijk ain't too shabby , eh

Van Marwijk is the same manager he was during his pre-Germany period at Feyenoord. Makaay is performing as expected. Great pro, very reliable. Sahin started bright, but last couple of months he is not playing well. Looks a bit too leightweight for the real top.

They are talking with the parents of...



what a pikeys

Don't insult these people. I know these people I've been going to matches with them for ages...

God, what a bunch of morons they picked out...

Was on the pitch too in 1989. We were right to do so. A point had to be made. Pity they didn't tell th whole story. There were 2 pitch invasions. the scond one was best (especially because before the match they announced they had a new very strong fence which would make it impossible to invade the pitch. remember everybody at S laughing and guys showing concrete-scissors, etc. we were on the pitch in no time... )

Way way too stereotyping, the jobless mad, the old wise guy and a bloke who worked in the harbour.

I used to go to Feyenoord with a guy who was Drs. in English. Really nice guy, that's also Feyenoord!!

The guys I go with are a very mixed bunch. 1 of them was once kicked out of the university library because of his Coupe Zuid / 'matje' (so he couldn't be a student, about prejudice...). They never trusted me too.

What I find stupid is they pick people with no other lives. There are plenty of die-hard fans who have a life next to footy too, say be a dope-dealer

Ye, its not like there is one stereotypical type of fan...And that argument of that we are the club of the people is getting old as well.

Football=for the people...so every club is a people's club imo. Rich people play hockey or something like that.
