What are the immediate consequences of the increasing number of controversial referee decisions in the Dutch Eredivisie, and how does this impact the fairness and integrity of the league?

Go Ahead Eagles director Jan Willem van Dop criticizes the young age and inexperience of Dutch Eredivisie referees, citing three instances this season where his club was negatively impacted by referee decisions. One red card was later rescinded, while a penalty and a goal were incorrectly disallowed in other matches. This criticism is shared by former referee Mario van der Ende, who describes the situation as amateurish.
