UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Anderlecht after objects
appeared to be thrown from the crowd during the tie with Tottenham.Spurs' Didier
Zokora appeared to be struck by lighter thrown from the crowd and goalkeeper
Paul Robinson also picked up a metal rod which he handed to the fourth official
after the final whistle of the 1-1 draw at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in
Brussels."UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Anderlecht for the
throwing of objects by spectators," said a UEFA spokesman.The Belgian side have
already been fined for crowd disturbances during a Champions League qualifier
earlier in the season against Fenerbahce and UEFA officials will take previous
cases into consideration when they meet.The punishments range from a fine to
expulsion from the tournament."The control and disciplinary body will meet on
December 13 to make a decision on this case," the spokesman added.Zokora claimed
afterwards that he was targeted as he used to play for Anderlecht's rivals Genk
at the start of his career, yet he also had cause for celebration as the point
earned Spurs a place in the knockout stages of the competition.Spurs head coach
Juande Ramos was hit by Real Betis fans when he was at Sevilla and although he
did not see Zokora struck, the Spaniard said: "This is very bad for the players
and those who work in football."We have to be left in peace on the pitch and you
can't have objects thrown because somebody could get hurt."
