Nobody could get near Nigel Thomas

Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Matteo Waem in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at ADO Den Haag this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Jalen Hawkins takes the honours

Marked 7.95 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, ADO Den Haag had the best player on the pitch.

Match15 Aug 2026

ADO Den Haag share the spoils with Willem II

A 1‑1 draw with Willem II leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Illaijh de Ruijter

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Illaijh de Ruijter, and the manager let it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Daryl van Mieghem dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Luca Oyen runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 41. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market17 Aug 2026

Twente come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Heerenveen did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Ringo Meerveld in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Heerenveen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match15 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Heerenveen against Cambuur

0‑2 to Cambuur, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Heerenveen training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Amourricho van Axel Dongen is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Maas Willemsen

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Maas Willemsen, and the manager let it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Heerenveen pick somebody else ahead of Andries Noppert

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market17 Aug 2026

Robin Bouw is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Heerenveen has been clear about where Robin Bouw stands, which is more than many ever get.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The stands have heard the Dylan Vente talk too

What was a back-page story is now a matter for the terraces, and the terraces do not do nuance. Heerenveen would like it dealt with before it becomes the only question anybody asks.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Andries Noppert signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Andries Noppert and Heerenveen agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Heerenveen

Marcus Linday was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market3 Aug 2026

Eyes on Amir Ismaïl again

The phone has started ringing about Amir Ismaïl again, and this time the name on the line is ADO Den Haag. Heerenveen are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Heerenveen training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ringo Meerveld is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Heerenveen has picked up the phone to Andries Noppert

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market3 Aug 2026

Bram Rovers is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Heerenveen has been clear about where Bram Rovers stands, which is more than many ever get.
