The program There goes-he was spiced with the election of the best radio clip of Van Gelder. Listeners chose his commentary on the goal by Dennis Bergkamp against Argentina at the World Cup in 1998. That is the essence no more than the repetition of the name of the scorer, his voice breaking.
Studio Guest Johan Derksen said that he finds it more comfortable if his colleagues with the handbrake on 'reports. He was supported by Kees Jansma, who argued that Van Gelder had failed to describe the goal. Ben de Graaf, until mid-nineties, a sports journalist for the Times, went a step further: "I do not like that hysterical screams."
However much Jansma and presenters also Van Gelder tried to highlight positives, it was impossible. Derksen and De Graaf swung one after another one-liner in the ether. Derksen denounced "the jokes of my tax dollars," De Graaf used terms such as 'bluster' and 'psychiatric'.
'Not the intention'
During the broadcast the criticism erupted on Twitter. TV presenter Paul de Leeuw spoke shame of choice for 'sour two men. " Van Gelder responded almost immediately on Twitter. "Yes, it's ridiculous. I'll just leave? " Moments later, he left the room next to the studio, just before he went on the air.
"This allows me very disappointed," he said Friday. "It was embarrassing. Thankfully I left, I would only have quarreled. And I feel greatly supported by all the praise. "
Van Gelder was surprised by the approach of the program. "How do you get it into your head to blunt Ben de Graaf to invite someone who's been so long away from the sports journalism? It may, but I knew nothing. This was disingenuous. "
NPO Radio 1 has apologized. Before he gets to work at Sport 1, Van Gelder once more report of an international match on Radio 1: Turkey-Netherlands tomorrow night. "Or I'll scream as Orange scored? Of course. I let myself by anyone dictate. "
