I suppose you've all heard about it by now... Some people (?) set the Ajax team bus on fire at 4:00 AM on Sunday morning. It burnt out completely. No-one got hurt, thank God, but the entire Ajax team got evacuated from the hotel and stood outside from 4:00 to 7:00 AM.
News report is on Ajax USA now...

What can you say...? There are some serious nutcases out there, that's for sure...

What is even more worrying is the fact that if the coach was set on fire by football hooligans from the home club, they will be treated as heros by their fellow hooligans.
Where will it all end ?

I guess there's no limit, given that many many people has already died cause of football.....It's frankly sad....

I'm not sure if this is where it will end but, I won't be surprised if there is more security around the club.Never mind the property belonging to the club.Sad because Ajax players have always been accessible to the support. But, how to tell support from some criminally intent idiot(s)? I am somewhat relieved that the loss is replaceable and not on the magnitude of the death of Andres Escobar after the 94 World Cup.

It isn't the first time there. People also tried to set the busses from FC Utrecht and PSV on fire (at the same hotel!). I don't know if they succeeded there though...

An update from regional news network RTV Noord:
The police is still investigating the fire and searching for the as yet unknow arsonist. The case was brought to the attention of the crowd this last Monday in the police's TV bulletin on national TV: Opsporing Verzocht, best translated as Wanted.
So far the police have received nine tip-offs and has reasons to believe that the arsonist is a man from Groningen, who took a taxi from the Grote Markt ('Grand Market') in downtown Groningen to a Groningen suburb named Beijum, at around 5:00 AM, on Monday morning, 06 October.
Those are the facts, for now. It sounds like they will catch this guy fairly soon. But is it 'our man'?
