It seems that ejection by the stewards is enough for the club to issue a ban. This does not seem outrageous to me.

[Albion] Ajax Goal Celebrations - Beer Throwing Bans?

Fair enough. And agreed thats a tough sanction for what might be a first offence - would a warning on the ground been sufficient ? (anyway we don't know the details) . . As for the limbs video - then thats 3000 fans celebrating - 99% of them or more just jumping up and down - hence limbs. Its a stretch to say its highlighting or celebrating glass throwing (you can see a couple of glasses in the air if you look closely) and thus even more to call it hypocrisy on clubs part.
Wait for the :-
'but, but, nobody said I'd be banned if I acted like a tw@t, we should get a warning first' excuse.
A mixture of this is probably about where I'm at TBH. If they were kicked out during the game then 5 games is about right as you'd expect a ban for getting kicked out for other transgressions, especially if you were handed over to our stewards / police. At least it's not being done retrospectively as I'd feared on page 1.
But yeah, I have a lot of sympathy for Tom and Commander here. 'Oh look how mental we went. So mental we banned a couple of them'.

Possibly, who's to say? The club clearly want to stop this behaviour immediately, and therefore have made the punishment non-trivial. I'd be interested if everyone banned have been identified by Ajax themselves. I've not been able to find anything on the Ajax website about anti-social behaviour inside the ground.

I think its worth noting as well they've had a massive clampdown on throwing stuff on the pitch in the Netherlands, so it might be more to do with that. If anything (even as little as a plastic cup) is thrown on the pitch the game is suspended for 20 minutes, then if it happens again the game is abandoned. I learnt this at the Telstar game after one of their fans told me to throw my cup on the pitch when they went 2-0 down to get the game abandoned

Yeah its good it isn't being done via CCTV. A lot of pints went flying at Marseille and nothing was done, but then their Stewards were watching the game and smoking there.
There were stewards there?
Must have passed me by.
I recall the Ajax fan barman in the small pub we went to pre match mentioning it's a kinda 2 strikes and the games abandoned rule when it comes to stuff being thrown on pitch.I think its worth noting as well they've had a massive clampdown on throwing stuff on the pitch in the Netherlands, so it might be more to do with that.

If anyone is ejected from the ground by the home club's stewards, and handed over to our travelling officials /police, then the Albion pretty much have to be seen to be dealing with them appropriately.
If you turned it round, and say Palace came to the Amex, and our stewards identified a couple of trouble-makers and ejected them, and passed them to the CPFC travelling stewards. If we heard later that CPFC had just shrugged it off, and not punished them, we'd think that was unacceptable, wouldn't we?

Update from FAB.
If I'd known I'd get banned from the Sheffield Utd game I'd have been tempted to luzz something as well.
I took an almost full pint at force to the arm, that clearly wasn’t thrown upwards, after the second goal. Closely followed by another one flying over my shoulder and hitting the back of the woman in front of me before going everywhere. First one almost caught my dad on the back of the head as well. Had the cup flown slightly to the left, and I hadn’t been punching the air in joy directly behind his head, our night would’ve ended in far less happy conditions.
An old fella in front of me got half a pint over his head and clothes thanks to some oaf. Yeah, f*** 'em. Beer throwing on the terraces is pathetic.
Brilliant. You like throwing beer (over other people) but not having beer thrown on you. I think there is a word for that.

If you threw it into the Ajax end, I have no sympathy. Dutch football has this problem every week and they are postponing games every time a beer is thrown onto the pitch with 4 games AT THE SAME TIME being stopped a few months ago. https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/223621266/vier-duels-stilgelegd-na-biergooien-doe-het-gewoon-niet .
I imagine this has come from Ajax themselves who rightly received complaints from the people below. Imagine we got battered by FC Groningen at home and some muppet chucks beer all over you. You would rightly be fuming.
I'd also rather not want to watch a game behind a net like Marseille again.

D'you want some, or wot?The beer throwing in Marseille was much better/heavier than in Dam, but I didn't witness anyone crying afterwards
Coincidence? Or did those having the online tantrums post Dam not have the cojones to head to Marseille
