I do fear that whilst the actions from West Ham fans and players were understandable that UEFA have been handed an excuse to vent their anger on English football again - expect West Ham to face punitive sanctions

Absolute crap. The West Ham fans were the innocent party, they were blatantly attacked by Alkmaar fans. Completely unwarranted.
 
Any truth in the rumour doing the rounds this morning (albeit for a very short time), that Alkmaar players families had issues with WHU fans during the first leg?
Yes. It is reported that it wasn't as serious!!!!! But some West Ham fans started trouble as you say and I assume this was retaliation.

The result of UEFA demanding 200 or 250 tickets for visiting teams in "prime positions" defined as along the side of the pitch between the penalty areas. Didn't notice this at our place on Wednesday but I've seen a small block surrounded by stewards in the past.
 
The organisation that fined City more money for being one minute late for the second half than they fined a club for racial abuse of our black players

:-)
That was because the two offences were breaches of different regulations and upsetting the broadcaster's schedules is significantly more important to an organisation that breathes broadcast income.
A cynic may suggest racial abuse has always been something UEFA has commented on but rarely acted on. However I really couldn't be that cynical.
 
The Telegraph now stating that the 3 West Ham players who went into the stand will be banned AFTER the final.
Apparently uefa want a show piece final so will drag out the disciplinary process.
Absolutely disgraceful if true. WHU should tell the corrupt fuckers to put up or shut up. If they ban them now, WHU should refuse to play in the final. Its time teams joined together and called out this corrupt organisation. The players were defending wives girlfriends and children.
