    Feyenord out the uefa

    Tottenham's Uefa Cup opponents Feyenoord have been thrown out of the competition by the European game's governing body.

    Uefa will meet on Monday to discuss the ramifications for Spurs, who had been scheduled to travel to De Kuip for the first leg of their Round of 32 clash on 15th February.

    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.

    The expulsion relates to an incident on 30th November last year when Feyenoord fans rioted at Nancy's Stade Marcel Picot, forcing police to use tear gas.

    Feyenoord were originally fined and handed a suspended sentence to play two matches in an empty stadium following the crowd trouble.

    The sanction was imposed by Uefa's independent control and disciplinary board, but Uefa called for a greater punishment and their appeals body have now taken a much firmer line.

    The Dutch club were also recently fined by Uefa for the behaviour of supporters during their group stage clash with Blackburn which took place just a week before their trip to France.
