When You Celebrate Promotion Too Early 

Update: Groningen played Roda JC at home tonight. Roda lost 2-0 to Groningen. Talk about jinxing

There was no goal for Telstar at the end, not even a diallowed one. It is way worst than that... The Roda JC stadium speaker heard someone say that Telstar scored, didn't check, announced it, then heard it was diallowed, didn't check again, and then found out it was all a joke... He messed up in all the excitement! i do not blame him

Another plot twist: 1st place Willem 2 is only 1 point in front of Roda. Roda wins the title of they win and Willem loses. Willen's opponent? Telstar

Don't celebrate childbirth until everything checks out? Well gee that was a little dark 😂😂

A Groningen fan here: what it even makes it more funny is that there wasn't even a disallowed goal. The stadium speaker of Roda JC got told that it was 2-1 and he couldn't check it, because "he had bad internet". So he announced it. When he got told that it ended 1-1 he was probably to embarrassed and announced it as a disallowed goal.

Fun fact, the 2-1 at the end. The goal that was disallowed? It never even happened. The game just ended in 1-1

Schalke fan here. A good friend was there in the stadium in 2001 when we won the Bundesliga for the first (and only) time -- only to have it taken away from us 5 minutes later, as Bayern Munich scored a goal in extra time. Realizing that you've been celebrating too early is heart-breaking. To live through it twice in ten minutes is so cruel.

lmao, that's worse than the Hamburg drama at the end of last season. Hamburg won, the fans already stormed the field, even the away stadium announcer already congratulated them for promotion, but the Game between Heidenheim and (my Club) Jahn Regensburg was still going on. Heidenheim had to win to get in 2nd for automatic promotion. Regensburg was up 2-0 after 55 minutes, through an own goal it was 2-1 after 60, then in the 93 minute Heidenheim gets a penalty to set it 2-2, before Tim Kleindienst scores the 2-3 in the 99th minute of overtime, sending Hamburg back down into 3rd place, giving Heidenheim the automatic promotion lol

You might need to follow up this video! Groningen went through lol

Ah yes, childbirth and McDonald's. Two equal deliveries 😅

This is just like last season in the 2nd.Bundesliga where Hamburg were already celebrating promotion, just for Heidenheim to score in the 93rd and 99th minute to secure promotion and win the league. I watched the game live as it happened, my buddy, who's a Hamburg fan really didn't take it that well 😂

Remember a game (college American football) between Kentucky and LSU where Kentucky fans rushed the field only for everyone to realize there was a second left and LSU hits a like 80 yard Hail Mary. They'd already Gatorade'd the coach too. Freaking hilarious.

There was no disallowed goal Z, don't know what the stadium speaker was smoking, but there was no goal after the 1-1

Hey, I work in one of the clubs in this division and what happens was that the "2:1" score from Telstar, never actually happened. The game Telstar vs Groningen, ended at 1:1. The Stadium speaker at Roda heard it from someone that Telstar has scored a second one and without thinking he just announced it to the whole stadium. And now the play of system works is that: The Champion of the Keuken Kampioen Divisie (KKD - Eerste Divisie) is together with the second place automatically promoted to the Eredivisie. The third and final spot of the Eredivisie will be determined by the third through eighth placed teams* of the KKD, and the sixteenth placed from the Eredivisie. The first round is played by the six KKD teams determined by the final standings of the season A: P3 vs P8 ; B: P4 vs P7 ; C: P5 vs P6. Each game is played home and away and the winner of the two games advances to the Semi-Final. The winner of A plays against the winner of B and the winner of C plays against the sixteenth placed of the Eredivisie. Also the semi-finals have two games, home and away. The winners will face each other in the final, where once more there are two games. The winner of the finals will be awarded with a place in the Eredivisie in the following season. *All youth teams (Jong Ajax, Jong AZ, Jong PSV, Jong Utrecht) are not allowed to participate in the playoffs. If there should be a youth team placed in the top 8, the playoff spot will go to the next team in the standings.

Zealand, you might want to make a video about this funny situation in the Polish Cup. Pogon is known to have no trophies, they are a top 5 team but absolutely 0 trophies. They are playing 2nd division side Wisla Krakow. Wisla dominates the match but Pogon scores in the 75th Referee adds 9 minutes, the match gets played and in the 90+8th everyone starts celebrating, beer is being thrown around the stands and the manager and reserve players are buzzing. Then, Wisla scores in the 90+9th to go to extra time. In extra time, Wisla scores in the 93rd minute to win the cup :O

Your content is helping me get through a break up, thanks man.

The tough part is that a situation like that can be so exhausting that you completely lose your form.

Reminds me of Hamburg SV last year. Stormed the pitch in celebration but Heidenheim pulled an insane comeback to crush their dreams.

so reminds me of schalke's five minute bundesliga win with everyone celebrating on the pitch while the bayern match was still going on and patrik anderson scoring the equalizer for bayern in like the 5948th minute to break the heart of an entire community with one stroke of the ball.. got similar vibes here tbh... but contrarily this one isn't over yet.. ^^

No fan can be excused for celebrating early, after Bayern Leverkusen have scored so many late goals this very same season

Wait this same thing happend last year in the 2 Bundesliga when Hamburger SV won their last game to be on 66 points while Heidenheim were losing or drowing and the stadion ananuncer congratsulated HSV for promotion but in the final minutes Heidenheim won the match to finish on 67 points 1 point ahead of HSV and ahead of Darmstad with better goaldifference and HSV lost to promotion play-off to VfB Stutgard who are 3rd in the Bundesliga at the moment

I'll celebrate when you start running

Oh, boy, my local team on Zealandism. Well done boys. This was a hilarious one.

So weird to hear Zealand talk about my team Groningen lol.

“They’re Manchester United. They’ve just heard the news at the stadium of light.” Love it.

zealand stays giving me stories that i would´ve never heard of and im herefor it

Just wait for the ultimate plot twist. What an amazing evening in the Eerste Divisie.

This happened in Spain in 2014. Playoff final was Las Palmas-Córdoba, 1st leg finished 0-0 in Córdoba, and in the 2nd leg Las Palmas were winning at home 1-0 in the 90+ minute. Some fans invaded the pitch with 1 minute remaining. After the match restarted, Córdoba scored to make 1-1 and got promoted on away goals.

The first thing I learned when I started watching football is “it isn’t over until the fat lady sings”, celebrating early is never a good idea lol!

2 minutes and 36 seconds into the video - it is nice to see Jordan Henderson celebrating again in Holland.

I'm honestly just happy people are talking about Roda JC, it's a funny moment in hindsight even if I was cringing a bit when I saw people running on the field. Either way looking forward to the match against Groningen!

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... uh.. you can't get fooled again.

If you’re interested in this kind of thing, you should check out the Jimmy Glass goal for Carlisle in 99. Last game of the season, Carlisle need to win and need Scarborough to not win in order to stay up. Scarborough finishes 1-1 and their fans invade the pitch as they think they’ve survived. 94th minute at Carlisle, corner kick and the goalkeeper scores the winner to keep Carlisle up and send Scarborough down. That was the last time Scarborough in the league. Horrible moment for Scarborough, great for Carlisle and a fantastic footballing moment

Some people are on the pitch, they think it’s all over…….😂

I need a 10 minute video of Zealand speaking Dutch

The real story: Groningen scored 1-1 in the 96th minute while the Roda JC fans were already celebrating promotion. They then heard about the goal being scored by Groningen, so slowly started to move off of the pitch again. A glitch in a score keeping app for mobile phones that is commonly used in The Netherlands then erroneously showed Telstar being up by 2-1 for about a minute. This last thing caused the Roda JC fans to celebrate a second time, thinking Telstar had scored. They never did though. The match between Telstar and Groningen ended in 1-1 without even as much as another shot after Groningen's goal. Why the stadium announcer at Roda JC said the goal had been disallowed is still a bit of a mystery afaik. And in the last match against Groningen, Roda JC lost and didn't get promoted after all. They did get into the playoffs for promotion, but they lost their first match against NAC Breda 3-1.

FC Groningen mentioned on Zealandism? Did not know the day would come. Also, your Dutch interpretation was correct. As a Groningen fan, I feel so bad for Roda fans in that moment. On the other side, Roda fans have relentlessly mocked our relegation for months while they have been in the second division for almost 10 years now. I think a one-off winner takes all match is the only right way we are going to have to settle this. I am so excited for next week. Also, the goal was not disallowed, there was no goal. There was not even a tight moment in the match after we equalised. This just made the entire situation even more confusing.

I love your attempts at Dutch.

The atmosphere at the game between Groningen and Roda was epic. That was a proper pitch invasion :)

I have been waiting for this Zealandism to come out ever since laughing my ass off watching Roda JC on friday.

Roda has some of the best fans, in the industrial and mining region of The Netherlands. If I were going to support a team in the Netherlands, it would absolutely be Roda JC. They deserve this promotion.

The game is even more high pressure for Roda. They are only 1 point behind Willem II, so they could finish as League winners or out of automatic promotion on the last day

Your little face watching the second batch of celebrations is hilarious

It wasn't even a disallowed goal, there was just never a 2-1. Somebody there straight-up duped the PA into announcing a phantom goal. The PA was even interviewed by the national broadcaster about how he f-ed up so badly, and he pretended it was just another day in the office and he couldn't double-check because of a bad WiFi connection. BTW in case Groningen features again, the stress is on the first syllable (GRO-ning-en). 🤓

...They lost 8-1 on aggregate in the first round of the playoffs after that 2-0 defeat to Groningen. Tough pill to swallow

Hi Mister Zealand, Just to provide you a quick update, Groningen have made it they have successfully completed the karma Comeback beating Roda JC. Witch it makes it even funnier. As a wise man once said: "Never say it's over, until it's over " EmpLemon on The Art of a Choke. Final score 2-0 for Groningen.

the promotion playoffs work like this: the teams that are included are the Number 16 of eredivisie and 3rd through 8th in the 2nd tier currently it would include Excelsior, Groningen, Dordrecht, Ado Den Haag, De Graafschap, NAC Breda and FC Emmen in round 1 is the turn of the 2nd tier sides 3rd - 8th 4th - 7th 5th - 6th so currently it would be FC Groningen - FC Emmen FC Dordrecht - NAC Breda ADO Den Haag - De Graafschap winners go through to 2nd round where it is Winner of DOR/NAC - Winner of GRO/EMM Winner of ADO/GRA - SBV Excelsior (16th eredivisie) the winners of those matches get to the final, winner of final gets the last eredivisie spot potential finishing spots 16th in Eredivisie : RKC Waalwijk (28 points after 32 matches) /SBV Excelsior (26 points after 31 matches)* *Excelsior play MD32 tonight 2nd tier: with one match to go 1st (direct promotion): Willem II (76p) / Roda JC (75p) 2nd (direct promotion): Willem II (76p) / Roda JC (75p) / FC Groningen (72p) 3rd : Roda JC (75p) / FC Groningen (72p) 4th: FC Dordrecht (68p) 5th: ADO Den Haag (63p) / De Graafschap (63p) 6th : ADO Den Haag (63p) / De Graafschap (63p) 7th: NAC Breda (55p) / FC Emmen (54p) / MVV Maastricht (53p) 8th : NAC Breda (55p) / FC Emmen (54p) / MVV Maastricht (53p)

Talking of promotion, the scenes at Portman Road yesterday were incredible players on our shoulders celebrating with fans

Thank you for making a video about it because it's hilarious lmao. I kinda hope Roda blows it now

When is the “Birmingham City and Wrexham will be in the same league next season” video come out

So fun watching this live on television. Great vid keep it going.

Update, after they lost to Groningen they now have lost the first game of the plays offs aswell. 3-1 to NAC

Also, the goal wasn't disallowed. The stadium commentatorheard from Somebody sitting next to him said that it was 2-1 Telstar but the match was already over and also there was never another goal scored. The stadium commentator even had to give an interview because of this. He said that he should have verified if it was 2-1 and we have no idea how that person next to him thought it was 2-1 Telstar

OH GOD I FEEL SO BAD FOR THEM

Holy cow, what a rollercoaster of emotions

It’s crazy to see the football manager youtuber doing a video on Roda JC… my current football manager club.

Imagine the heartbreak if fc groningen won the last game. It will definitely be traumatizing 😂

Funniest thing is that telstar didnt even score. The stadium speaker just made the 2-1 up.

I remember my senior year of HS i changed my schedule first week of classes. They changed my gym period around ajd when i went to gym i found out i was never put on to the teachers attendance list. So i never ever went to gym Fast forward next june to graduation, my grandma and grandpa are their with my proud parents. I walk up get my diploma smile for the cameras standard stuff. After the ceremony when i went to see my counselor to formally get my physical copy of my diploma, my counselor said "ohhhh btw you technically didnt graduate because you never got a gym credit" i spent 3 weeks of my summer vacation doing written phys ed assignments in order to actually get my degree.

It ain't over till it's over. They had to learn this the hard way.

On one hand, I feel sorry for them, on the other one, early celebration fails are way too funny 😂

i am so glad my club wasnt the topic of this video

Everybody from Zealands stream trying to spot Jump man on the pitch for Cambur

Like last year, when Hamburg celebrated while Heidenheim took the promotion spot.

That video is funny because it literally happend last season in the Second Bundesliga where hamburg won its game at the last day and celebrating promotion because Heidenheim was on a losing end of a 2:1 only to win in extra time 2:3 And got promoted.

Fun fact, Willem II clinched promotion with a 93rd minute equalizer

I can understand some of that commentary and it's hilariously tragic 😂

Roda JC would actually not be the most likely play off winner if they have to play play offs. The most likely winner would be Excelsior, who are 16th in the Eredivisie. They have to fight to stay. If they lose the play offs, they go down.

the match in Roda... Triggered dutchies gonna say its Kerkrade

0 hour gang

i live VERY close to roda JC stadion and my friend was even in the crowd that day. the speakers said that telstar scored the 2-1 and even the live commentators said they did. its a celebrate to early moment but if youre being honest if you are in the same situation you wouldve done the same. i certainly would haha

Even more funnier: the so called disallowed goal wasn't even there. It was an error of the stadium speaker 😂

For a season with a runaway champion in the top division, the Dutch competitions are hella entertaining.

There is a famous story, when Schalke 04 thought for 7 minutes, they won the league. It happened more than once in Germany.

Never thought Roda jc was going to be on a Zeeland video

pretty sure that this happened in 2001 div 3 in england, scarborough finished their game to survive (or so they thought) and leyton get relegated, then JIMMY GLASS (a FUCKING GK) scored in the 97TH MINUTE and eon the match (scarborough went on to go defunct in non league)

Groningen fan here, the story is even weirder. The Telstar goal wasn't disallowed, there wasn't a goal all together. Someone just made it up I guess. Anyway, we're gonna smash Roda up next Friday and take the promotion spot for ourselves. Come on green white army🟢⚪

The goal wasn't disallowed, it didn't happen at all. Someone near the stadium speaker said it they scored, and he announced it. He then decided to claim it was disallowed

So just checked, they lost 8-1 on Aggregate to NAC Breda in a 2 leg promotion playoff. Like how do you ever recover as a fan, player and club after what's happened them over a 2 week spell

I had not realised how good teams are in the Dutch 2nd tier: Groningen, Den Haag, De Graafschap, Breda, Venlo and Cambuur.

I think it was Lullojo a couple of years ago who even got a championship celebration with Dortmund in FM and then finished second lol.

Certified HSV moment

Yeah so apparently both Livescore and the Google thing messed up. It already happened at the 2-0 for Roda JC. At that point both Livescore and Google suddenly said that it was 0-0 again. It happened from the 85th minute onwards, also with another game, Jong-AZ vs MVV. It was 3-2 and it showed 1-2 again. It's not really anyone's fault.

Roda lost 8-1 on aggregate to Z's journeyman club NAC!!

In Germany we say: In Regensburg wird noch gespielt!

That's why MSL will never been taken seriously. Relegation and promotion are the soul of any league!!!

I knew it was Roda JC after seeing the title (I'm a Dutchie)🤣

I don't know why but Flashscore says that Roda has already achieved promotion even though their goal difference is worse than Groningen's and they are playing against each other on the final matchday, as you said.

Promotion bonuses are huge, they’ll be gutted

Promotion and relegation are what makes the beautiful game epic. Sure, championships are cool but the eruption of fans upon a promotion is something else.

I'm a Hamburg fan, been there...

ho wow, that was amazing.

Groningen actually just won. This is crazy

omg that has to suhuhuhuck so bad.

They just fumbled promotion play-offs 😭😭😭

There was no 2nd goal for Telstar at all. It wasn't disallowed, there was no goal at all. The speaker was misinformed and told it was 2-1

From the future: Roda lost to Groningen 2-0 so Groningen got automatically promoted!! 😂😂

Fun fact the telstar gk is the son of ronald koeman

run

Dude, times are rough if you're celebrating a McDonald's meal ...
