Fortuna Sittard trainer Danny Buijs does not have a good word for referee Danny Makkelie after the lost Eredivisie match against FC Twente. Partly due to a dubious penalty, the Limburgers fell 3-2 in Enschede.
“Football is a game of mistakes, we make them too,” Buijs told ESPN afterwards. “This is a tough away game. With that audience from Twente behind it you play against twelve men, but today it was almost against thirteen men.”
“I think everyone was able to see that we did not have the arbitration with two goals playing a crucial role at crucial moments,” Buijs continued, who ran the field after the last whistle to keep his angry players away from Makkelie.
At Fortuna they were especially furious about a penalty that FC Twente received just before half -time. Makkelie pointed to the dot when FC Twente captain Ricky van Wolfswinkel went to the ground after a light push. Van Wolfswinkel then made no mistake from 11 meters.
“It wasn’t a penalty,” said Buijs. “I told him in the break: if you give a penalty for this, you will give fifteen per game. If this is its level, then you won’t whistle much in the Champions League anymore.”
‘Did not know where we were’
According to Buijs, Makkelie’s performance fits in with its form of this season. “I asked in the break what has been going on with them lately. Are they under tension? Why don’t you take a look at the screen?”
“It is 0-0, a crucial moment in the game. This is simply not possible. At the 3-1 the linesman was flagning for a foul, but he lets play and they score in the switch. At a certain point we no longer knew where we were. That is difficult.”
Oud-Prof Buijs visibly cooked from anger in front of the camera. “We are not allowed to protest according to the rules, but we used to have referees like Dick Jol and Roelof Luinge. Those were personalities.”
“They came to players and said that they had to play the ball to the right color and not had to worry about the referee. They took it off in such a way. And this … unfortunately we can’t turn it back.”
Captain Ivo Pinto was also angry with Makkelie. “All the referee’s decisions were against us. The penalty was much too easy. I wonder if it was a penalty on the other hand.”
