After the final whistle from ref Lardot, a group of angry Ghent fans gathered at the main entrance of the Ghelamco Arena, where they demanded text and explanation from the Ghent board. In the end it was Michel Louwagie who spoke to the crowd and he was able to calm the mood effectively.

The Ghent CEO was initially once again hit with the brunt for the premature dismissal of Jess Thorup, but countered this wittily: “Every coach has an expiration date and when you notice that the trainer no longer has control over his group, you have to intervene. Especially when crucial duels are lost too often, such as at the end of last season against Charleroi. But a trainer’s dismissal is of course a decision of several people. ”
The disappointing results were of course also discussed and Louwagie also had an appropriate answer: “Today we missed four fixed values due to injuries. I would like to see how the game would have gone if we could have counted on two. Today we cannot blame the players for a lack of effort: there was that ball on the crossbar and the post. And also a rejected goal. Do you think I’ll sleep tonight? ”
