Spurs to get UEFA Cup bye?

**BBK** · 19th January 2007

Tottenham's next Uefa Cup opponents Feyenoord have been excluded from this season's competition. Uefa has banished the Dutch club after the crowd trouble during their match in France against Nancy on 30 November.
The group stage game had to be stopped for half an hour because of trouble in the stands as Feyenoord trailed 3-0.
Feyenoord were set to play Tottenham in the last 32 knockout stage of the Uefa Cup but Spurs are now likely to get a bye into the next round.
Feyenoord had originally been fined �81,000 and handed a suspended sentence to play two matches in an empty stadium.
"This is a huge slap in the face for the club," said Feyenoord financial director Onno Jacobs.

"It will have enormous consequences, both sporting and financial. We'll lose ticket receipts, TV rights and the possibility of progressing in the competition.
"Our true supporters are the real victims of this decision. They are paying the price for the faults of individuals who have nothing to do with the club and from whom Feyenoord has always distanced itself."
The decision was taken by Uefa's independent Control and Disciplinary board, but European football's governing body appealed the decision for a harsher punishment.
"The appeal by Feyenoord against the original punishment handed down by the Uefa Control and Disciplinary Body was rejected," said a Uefa statement.
"Feyenoord were also ordered to contact Nancy regarding settlement of the damages."
Uefa are expected to confirm next week whether Spurs will get a bye, which appears the most plausible option.

Nice for Spurs if it happens I guess!

If I remember rightly it kicked off big time in a friendly between Feyenoord and Spurs pre season about 2 years ago...

**webslinger2k** · 19th January 2007

yup your right, Spurs and Feyenoord hate each other a lot....I think there is some distant rubbish about the Jewish contingent or some other equally stupid bullshit.

I think its a good idea giving them a bye, if they didnt Newcastle would apply for it and get it

Feyenoord fans are a disgrace, they always kick up trouble.They should be made to play in an empty stadium for 6 month untill they sort their supporters out, its only a game for christ sake!

It kicked off years ago in a UEFA game a couple of spurs fans were knifed and I think that on of thiers might have died (but dont quote me on it!). They will more than likely let thier last opponent through (Nancy I think) and that is who we will play...

according to sky sports news:

Martin Jol's side will either receive a bye to the next round or face the fourth-placed team from Feyenoord's group, the Poles of Wisla Krakow, who ironically were the last club to be thrown out of Europe, for similar reasons in 1998

Just seen on SSN that they have been given a bye into the last 16. If i didnt hate them so much i would back them to win the whole thing.

**steve10574** · 26th January 2007

thats the thing now if we did go on and win it people will always say "oh but you did get that bye into last 16"

maybe they should have picked another team for us to play
