The season is over for FC Groningen. We've ended 7th in the league and had to play play-offs for a European ticket. The first round we had to play against FC Utrecht. We had lost both matches against FC Utrecht in the league. The play-offs however was a different world. The first match was an away match, we played a draw (2-2) after being down 2-0. We won the second match in the Euroborg with 3-1, so we went to the next round. We had to play against NEC Nijmegen. The first match was an away match. We've lost 5-1 in the league at Nijmegen, in the play-offs however 1-0. The score could have been 8-0, but we've lost minor. Last sunday was the next match at Euroborg. After a 5-1 win in the league, we lost 1-3 in the play-offs. So that means the players can go on a vacation then. The season is over. The whole team broke down after the departure of Lindgren, Silva and Nevland.
We have to get some new players for next season. Some players with spirit, who want to fight for a win. But most importantly we have to get a replacement for Lindgren.

Thanks for the summing-up, Steve.
Again, like all those years ago, I have a feeling of deja-vu when I think of Groningen and Hibs. We too came so close and yet got so little. Grun were up there for a fair amount of the season, plenty of mentions in the Dutch sports press etc.
Ain't there no intertattie cup access here in NL?
