Anger at Cambuur spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match8 Sep 2029

7 matches without a win for Cambuur

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Cambuur are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings10 Sep 2029

Luca Messori, 21, steals the show — 7.86

Marked 7.86 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Transfer targets10 Sep 2029

Teun Van de Beek will not be coming to Cambuur

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Feyenoord is saying, and nobody at Cambuur is enjoying the guessing.

Squad10 Sep 2029

Mathieu Maertens 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.

Squad10 Sep 2029

A row about effort at Cambuur

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Luca Messori was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad10 Sep 2029

Sven Douwes signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Sven Douwes commits to Cambuur for another 4 years.

Transfer targets10 Sep 2029

Cambuur rebuffed over Rayan Atikallah

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ajax have kept their man, and Cambuur go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The Cambuur Post

16 Oct 2028
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad16 Oct 2028

Ryan Metu breaks a bone — 21 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 21 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match14 Oct 2028

No end in sight to Cambuur's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Cambuur has to find a result from somewhere.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

Sven Douwes: 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.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Mathieu Maertens 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.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Mark Diemers falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

No hiding place for Diyae Jermoumi

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

Match14 Oct 2028

Damy Bernardina rescues a point for Cambuur

It needed Damy Bernardina to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Roda, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings16 Oct 2028

Nobody could get near Wiebe Kooistra

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Nicolas Collet chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.
