Feyenoord

Thrown out of the UEFA Cup for a little bit of trouble.

------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

NYON, Switzerland (AP) -- Feyenoord was expelled from the UEFA Cup on Friday over crowd disturbances.

 

The Dutch side was set to meet Tottenham in the round of 32 of Europe's second-tier club competition.

 

UEFA will meet Monday to decide whether the English club will have to play another opponent instead.

 

Feyenoord fans fought and smashed windows at Nancy before ripping out and throwing seats during a 3-0 loss on Nov. 30.

 

Police lobbed tear gas in Marcel-Picot Stadium, forcing the referee to stop the match in the 80th minute because it was affecting the players. The players returned to the field about 20 minutes later and completed the match.

 

"In every respect, this is a serious blow for our club and for everybody who has a soft spot for Feyenoord," director Onno Jacobs said. "In this situation there are only losers.

 

"This punishment has enormous implications for our club. Financially as well as on the sporting front, Feyenoord suffers a lot of damage. Our real supporters are the victims of the behaviour of a few people that Feyenoord wants nothing to do with."

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

A little bit of seat ripping and they get the boot; but the Italian clubs committ far worse, lobbing flares, stabbings, bribing CL officials, bribing domestic officials so much that their league tables use half the alphabet to denote point deductions and get off with the a couple of closed-door matches.

 

But fear not oh Defenders of All That Is Good, our mate Michel Platini shall clean all this up. If we draw an Italian team under his tenure and a Scouser so much as farts in the away end I expect a three-year ban.

 

Never though I'd see the day that I'd say Fat Lenny For UEFA President.

Apparently no decision's been made yet, when they realise it's an english team they'll promote one of the eyeties who got knocked out, probably like.

True as well. Double standards to go with their double shots of Remy Martin.

 

Who are they going to pick to play Spurs? Free pass I reckon.

On the flip side I lived in Eindhoven for 2 years or so in the early 90's and followed PSV as an outsider (my birds brother was a proper PSV Hool).

 

Bearing in mind we'd got the "English Disease" pretty much under control by then, what I saw week in week out was the epitome of footy violence in the early 80's in England.

 

We are 10 years down the line; the Dutch hooligans (nasty fuckers) are still giving it the large one.

Aren't Den Haag the Millwall of Dutch footy? Not many supporters but the most violent of the lot.

Theres a dutch guy on the forum...Utrecht i think he is called. Im sure he will have something to say about this.

Could make a great film.

Their 'ultras' are twinned with Juve ultras. ADO Den Haag also had a match abandoned earlier this year when supporters stormed the pitch when they went down 0-3 to Vitesse.

the difference betweeen feyenoord and the gala/leeds incident is the gala one did not happen near the stadium or the day of the game. feyenoord was in the ground. now having been on the recieving end of seats being thrown at me a few times in italy, why they get away with it I don't know. Dare I suggest Platini got involved as it was against a French side? Have Feyenoord been warned about their behaviour before? If not, this seems very harsh.
