Ron Jans spoke out about one on Sunday afternoon during the match between Feyenoord and FC Utrecht The Kuip effect, after referee Allard Lindhout made what he thought was a wrong decision. It caused an angry Jans to walk towards fourth official Clay Ruperti in clear words.
Jans’ anger arose after Bart Nieuwkoop was awarded a free kick after a duel with Souffian El Karouani and the Feyenoord defender then reacted angrily to the left back of FC Utrecht. Lindhout then admonished El Karouani, which irritated Jans. With visible anger, the coach of the Domstedelingen approached the fourth official on duty: referee Ruperti.

“Hey,” Jans shouts towards the fourth man. “This is really a Kuip effect again,” the FC Utrecht coach refers to a decision by the referee, which in the eyes of the coach is influenced by the atmosphere in De Kuip. “This is really the Kuip effect again,” Jans says again to Ruperti, who calmly responds to the FC Utrecht coach.
The remainder of the conversation was not recorded on ESPN, but Jans made it clear to the fourth official that he believes that referee Lindhout allowed himself to be captured by the Feyenoord crowd in the first half.
