From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match8 Sep 2027

Cambuur bow out of the cup

Roda go through and Cambuur go home, 0‑0 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Alfie Whiteman decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

A defender's afternoon for Jochem Nap

Defensive actions: 27. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Match11 Sep 2027

5 matches without a win for Cambuur

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Cambuur are no longer polite ones.

Market13 Sep 2027

Only the photograph left for Tjorben Uphoff

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Tjorben Uphoff will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Cambuur the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings13 Sep 2027

Nothing got past Tjorben Uphoff

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 24 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Mexx Meerdink 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 Cambuur this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match11 Sep 2027

Ismaël Baouf’s goal not enough for Cambuur

Ismaël Baouf scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑4 to Groningen, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings13 Sep 2027

One of those days for Iliass Bel Hassani

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.46, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market16 Aug 2027

Groningen come back empty-handed

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

Squad16 Aug 2027

Jochem Nap: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Cambuur have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market16 Aug 2027

Tjorben Uphoff has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Cambuur they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Thijs Jansen signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Thijs Jansen commits to Cambuur for another 3 years.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Mexx Meerdink 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 Cambuur this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings16 Aug 2027

Nothing got past Daan Visser

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 23 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Market16 Aug 2027

Arnaut Timber comes home

The shirt still fits. Arnaut Timber is back at Cambuur, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Market16 Aug 2027

Patrick Strootman is a Cambuur player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Player ratings16 Aug 2027

Nobody could get near Wiebe Kooistra

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match9 Sep 2026

The cup run ends for Cambuur

0‑0 against Roda, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Match12 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for Cambuur

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Jochem Nap

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 28 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Ichem Ferrah

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Mats Deijl 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 Cambuur this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Alfie Whiteman gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match12 Sep 2026

Groningen take the points off Cambuur

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Morgan Costarelli shuts the door

Defensive actions: 19, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

A defender's afternoon for Ethan Apkakou

Defensive actions: 18. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.
