What they Said
โBan Villa from Euro final' BELGIAN soccer club Andedecht have asked UEFA (the European Football Union) to expel Aston Villa from the European Cup.
โThe English champions reached the final on Wednesday when they held Anderlecht to a 0-0 draw in the second leg of their semi-final in Brussels in a match marred by crowd trouble.
โThe game was interrupted for several minutes when a small section of Villa fans rioted behind one of the goals.
โAnderlecht official Michael Verschueren said to-day that the club had informed UEFA about the incidents and had called for Villa's expulsion or, failing that, a replay of the second leg.
โFollowing the incidents, during which Villa fans clashed with baton-wielding police and Anderlecht supporters, 27 people were taken to hospital.
โVerscheuren said the Anderlecht appeal was based on the appearance of a Villa fan on the pitch as Anderlecht striker Kenneth Brylle was about to shoot.
โHe drove over the Villa barโthe last action before the game was interrupted in the 20th minute. Villa are due to meet West Germany's Bayern Munich in the final in Rotterdam on May 26.โ

โEuropean Cup finalists Aston Villa are appealing to the Sports Minister Neil MacFarlane to help them as UEFA prepare to probe the rioting that marred their semi-final win against Anderlecht.
โThe Belgians want the club expelled or forced to replay the second leg, this they drew 0-0.โ
