Squad16 Nov 2026

Etienne Vaessen damages knee ligaments — 40 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 40 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match14 Nov 2026

Chastening afternoon for Groningen

A 1‑7 beating by Ajax was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match11 Nov 2026

Groningen march on in the cup

Heerenveen are out and Groningen go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match11 Nov 2026

Groningen win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 111th minute. Heerenveen will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Hidde Jurjus stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings16 Nov 2026

Travis Hernes, 21, steals the show — 7.96

Marked 7.96 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.

Player ratings16 Nov 2026

Guus Joppen, 37, rolls back the years — 8.07

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.07 at 37, and nobody on the pitch was better.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Márk Csinger: 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.” Groningen have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A muscle injury and 15 days out for Marvin Peersman

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Groningen will quote 15 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Etienne Vaessen

139 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Groningen lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Jorg Schreuders runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market24 Aug 2026

Márk Csinger hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Groningen can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Mats Seuntjens, 34, rolls back the years — 7.90

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.90 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Groningen rebuffed over Massien Ghaddari

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

Market24 Aug 2026

Groningen say no — this time

The offer from Roda for Fofin Turay was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Groningen

Kevin Paredes and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Marvin Peersman 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 terraces24 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Mexx Meerdink

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Groningen say no — this time

The offer from Zulte Waregem for Brynjólfur Willumsson was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Marvin Peersman stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marvin Peersman and Groningen agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Etienne Vaessen 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 Groningen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Marvin Peersman 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

36 months and counting on Etienne Vaessen

Still no offer on the table, and Etienne Vaessen’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad3 Aug 2026

8 new faces, and Groningen are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

In brief
