One of the funniest sequence of events on a football field ever. I still laugh out loud now just thinking about it. Be honest, Koeman not getting sent off and then scoring a goal was the kind of thing you couldn’t have made up😂
Every time I see Koeman, I think of this whole game and my bitter disappointment, almost loathing for Koeman. Didn't realise he'd apologised at the time but still, it wrecked England's chances of qualification in 94.
Wasn't Rijkaard's goal incorrectly ruled offside? They could have still hung on for the win. Seemed like a free-kick, not a penalty, so wouldn't have been 1-1.
+izdatsumcp theNetherlands got a penalty in the Wembley game to scrape a 2-2 draw in the same qualifying campaign which was a similar "was is or wasn't inside the box" decision but they got the pen!.....even after not sending off Koeman here and after England didn't get a pen England's free-kick was taken and the wall didn't allow anywhere near 10yards and was blocked but was NOT allowed to be re-taken....where as Koeman (who should've been sent off earlier) scored from a RETAKEN free-kick, why was it re-taken? because the ref allowed theNetherlands a re-take despite England allowing more yards than theNetherlands had earlier which wasn't allowed to be retaken.....No point in trying to justify it, it was bad officiating and also no point in Oscy saying England wouldn't have done anything at the WC. They got to the semi's the previous WC....Portugal Euro2016 finished bottom half of their group behind Hungary and Iceland and they went on to win the competition (albeit with a fluky route to the final which they didn't deserve having massively underachieved in that mediocre group) because if you're in it you can still win it and that WorldCup had the same format as Euro2016 did so pretty much any team who qualified had a big enough chance of having a good run in the competition and you never know maybe even better....I'm not saying it would've been a WC win but I don't like when people say "it wouldn't have happened" when you don't know. All we know for sure is this was bad officiating and that's all we're talking about really.
Fantastic post, dcvnhtrdf, it wasn't just that decision, the referee really did "get him the sack", as Graham said so at the time. Terrible decisions. And we were unlucky with the Des Walker last minute foul which was outside the box but the player dived into the box and fooled the ref, in a crucial game, which we should have won as well. In this game it should have been the other way around England's free kick (which should have been a penalty), should have had to be retaken, and theirs was ok, I think. Ince got wrongfully booked. If we go to another game as well I remember Rooney doing a similar thing in a game against Russia and it should have been a free kick, but the ref gave a penalty, it seems England don't get a lot of luck in crucial games.
It was other results like drawing in Poland and losing against Norway at Oslo as a well as drawing against them at Wembley which put paid to our qualification hopes. If those results didn't happen, it wouldn't have came to this. And people forget that Holland had a clearly onside goal disallowed. The referee was awful that night for both sides. I'm sorry but Holland were the better team who could simply make their own luck and more importantly keep possession with the ball while England as usual either gave it away or lumped it up-field.
Disallowing the Rijkaard goal in the 41st minute was as a wrong decision just as bad as was not giving Koeman a red card in the 57th minute. Frank Rijkaard did not stand even closely in an offside position ruclips.net/video/Sn_kRxgphEE/видео.htmlm33s
Tbh the contact happened a foot before the penalty box platt went over inside the box so in my eyes the ref got it spot on.. if var was to check that today they would give a free kick
Karma! England beat the Netherlands in the Euro semi-final on 10 July 2024, helped by a very soft penalty awarded against the Dutch, whose manager happens to be Koeman. Hard luck Ronald, what goes around comes around.
One of the most appalling refereeing decisions ever, absolute stone wall penalty and totally clear cut, utterly beggars belief, unless the corrupt FIFA were pulling strings again?
I think it was just a bad decision by the ref, the same way the linesman disallowed Rijykaard's goal in the first half when he was clearly 2 metres onside.
he fell to ground like a dying swan just like kane did again tonight rolling over 3x whilst looking at the ref. Pathetic cheats but somehow blaming other nations. The English are the worst singing its coming home. the irony
In a way a blessing England didn't qualify for USA 94 as it was a farce of a world cup. I didn't care or give a damn about southern Ireland as they are nothing to do with us. No British representatives at USA 94 a shite world cup tournament. England bounced back and refreshed for euro 96. Since 1993 England have only failed to qualify for European championship 2008. Every other tournament we have been there.
So what’s the difference between this foul and Des Walker against Marc Overmars at Wembley? They are pretty much the same except for the out come. Holland gets a penalty and England do not.
I would never let someone fron the 2010s or before to take the penalty. Football has changed, also goalkeepers use statistics to know and predict the shot. It is way harder to score a penalty nowaday and the older players would miss without a doubt
Gotta feel for Graham Taylor. He got treated appallingly by the British media at the time for not qualifying. The Koeman incident was not his fault and had he been sent off then England would have probably gone through. R.I.P. Graham Taylor
I’ve just picked up on this clip via You Tube. I had The Privilege just short of 10 Years ago now of interviewing Graham Taylor for a series of films I was making about The Wolves In The 1950s. Mr Taylor used a tactical advisor at Watford called Wing Commander Charles Reep. Reep had advised Stan Cullis at The Wolves in the 50s. I spoke to Graham Taylor numerous times on the phone after that over about 2 years or so. He Was A Thoroughly Decent Man. Trust Me HE WAS !!!!!! I Feel Priveleged To Have Known Him Even Just A Bit. It Hearts My Soul When People Criticise Him. He was a TOP TOP BLOKE !!!! TRUST ME , HE WAS .
Tons of stupidity and ignorance on this thread, to match that from prat Platt in the video. England did NOT need to win, they needed to avoid defeat. It was the Dutch who, effectively, had to win given that England had much the easier final match lined up, -v- San Marino. Had this Holland-England match ended in a draw, England would have qualified on goal difference. Yes, Koeman should have been sent off, yes he would not have scored that crucial first goal. But where you eliminate one injustice you must eliminate another: Holland still win 2-0 courtesy of Bergkamp and, wait for it, Frank Rijkaard who had had a perfectly legitimate goal ruled out for offside in the first half. Platt, you need a memory transplant.
This reminds me of the comments after the 2020 (2021) final, with claims that Chiellini should have received a red card (he didn't), whilst forgetting everything that happened in the previous match against Denmark. If anyone wants to complain about the Netherlands (please stop calling it 'Holland'), complain about Nigel de Jong's karate kick in the World Cup final, or the Battle of Nuremberg against Portugal, or the most 2022 World Cup quarter final against Argentina.
We should also remember that cheating Dutch captain taking out Paul Gasgoigne when England were were two up at Wembley. No red card either. Karma indeed through the penalty awarded against Holland was arguably technically correct.
Yeah just forget to mention that two teams could qualify but Norway of all countries was on top of the league. It wasn't just this one foul that made you miss the world cup Mr. Platt.
Actually, it was. If England had beaten Holland in that match then they would have qualified.... and Holland would have stayed at home. Koeman knew this. This was the next to last match in the group to be played. England's next, and final match, was against San Marino. The score was 0-0 when Koeman fouled Platt. As Platt said himself, 1-0 up and playing against 10 men would have given England a commanding position. OK - it wasn't a penalty, but Koeman was the Dutch skipper and sweeper..... and their specialist free-kick taker. Remind me again how Holland scored their first goal.
Want to be reminded how Holland scored their first goal? Rijkaard scored their first goal in the first half, and it was disallowed eventough he was miles onside.
It’s clear Platt dived there, he wanted to milk a penalty. Just go and see Lomu staying on his feet despite numerous defenders trying to fell him. Koeman merely touched Platt and no reason to fall.
Yes but so was Holland in a way. Another big problem is that England just couldn't keep the ball to save their lives and couldn't defend when need to, where Holland could do those two things.
When you hear about corruption in football, you naturally dismiss it as conspiracy nutjob stuff, but watching this, you almost start to believe. How this wasn't a red card beggars belief. Hmm.
If you guys used your eyes you'd see he fell 1 step before the 16m And Koeman really don't touch him much at all. Sorry but this is just English crying for nothing...
What controversy? Should we only remember the seccond big mistake of the referee? Why? Holland way before Koemans foul should have been 1-0 up. A perfect goal of Rijkaard was judged offside. As one can clearly see in the replay no less than 3 defenders where keeping Rijkaard onside! So if we talk about "should". Holland should have been 1-0 up and I would say Koeman would have never touched Platt! So strangely enough we only talk about the seccond big mistake of the referee. Go look at the footage Holland was 1-0 up that changes everything.
This has haunted me since I found out about it 30 seconds ago
It was a lot harder for the referee in low resolution days. They could barely see what was happening.

Actually, it was. If England had beaten Holland in that match then they would have qualified.... and Holland would have stayed at home. Koeman knew this. This was the next to last match in the group to be played. England's next, and final match, was against San Marino. The score was 0-0 when Koeman fouled Platt. As Platt said himself, 1-0 up and playing against 10 men would have given England a commanding position. OK - it wasn't a penalty, but Koeman was the Dutch skipper and sweeper..... and their specialist free-kick taker. Remind me again how Holland scored their first goal.
Want to be reminded how Holland scored their first goal? Rijkaard scored their first goal in the first half, and it was disallowed eventough he was miles onside.

2 lots of bad refereeing is not karma it is official incompetence, good luck Spain in the final against a terrible England team
To be fair it was not a penalty.
It’s clear Platt dived there, he wanted to milk a penalty. Just go and see Lomu staying on his feet despite numerous defenders trying to fell him. Koeman merely touched Platt and no reason to fall.
😂😂 whatever.
England were robbed that night.
Yes but so was Holland in a way. Another big problem is that England just couldn't keep the ball to save their lives and couldn't defend when need to, where Holland could do those two things.
karma
WOW
What goes around comes around. Eat ****
Game of liars and cowards. Damn
When you hear about corruption in football, you naturally dismiss it as conspiracy nutjob stuff, but watching this, you almost start to believe. How this wasn't a red card beggars belief. Hmm.
If you guys used your eyes you'd see he fell 1 step before the 16m
And Koeman really don't touch him much at all.
Sorry but this is just English crying for nothing...
What controversy? Should we only remember the seccond big mistake of the referee? Why?
Holland way before Koemans foul should have been 1-0 up. A perfect goal of Rijkaard was judged offside. As one can clearly see in the replay no less than 3 defenders where keeping Rijkaard onside! So if we talk about "should". Holland should have been 1-0 up and I would say Koeman would have never touched Platt! So strangely enough we only talk about the seccond big mistake of the referee. Go look at the footage Holland was 1-0 up that changes everything.
Bad luck on getting dumped out of the Euros 😂
