Tottenham<\/a> manager Harry Redknapp<\/a> could face Uefa disciplinary action after he was seen making a clenched-fist gesture at the Shamrock Rovers<\/a> fans during his side’s 4-0 victory in the Europa League<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The victory wasn’t enough to see the north Londoners progress to the last 32 of the competition due to other results.<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked by reporters if he had made an obscene gesture, Redknapp refuted the claims by saying: “Not really. Did I make an “obscene” gesture? No, I didn’t make… No.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have spent enough time in Ireland to know what lovely people they are.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If you go and meet them afterwards they are probably lovely people. But they get together and shout a load of nonsense and that is football. That’s life. I don’t hold any grudges.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Redkapp’s team beat their hosts quite comfortably, with goals from Steven Pienaar, Andros Townsend, Jermain Defoe and Harry Kane but it wasn’t enough to qualify for the next round as 10-man Russian outfit Rubin Kazan got the point that they needed to progress.<\/p>\n

The 64-year-old continued: “We came and did the job we had to do but when you are in a situation like we were tonight and you are relying on another score, it is always difficult.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“At half-time, with the Russian team losing 1-0 having gone down to 10 men very early in the first half, I thought maybe they will be beaten 2-0 or 3-0, and we would just need to win by three or four, but I had a feeling they would draw.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was disappointing. I want to win every game. We haven’t not gone through for lack of trying.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Maybe if I had played players like Scott Parker and Rafa van der Vaart we might have sneaked through, but we might not have won 10 out of 11 league games though.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Redknapp will now try blooding his youngsters in the loan market now his side are out of the Europa League, a competition that the manager used to a great extend in fielding his youth players.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told ITV4:<\/em> “I thought when Rubin Kazan went down to 10 men that we might have a good chance and four goals would be enough. But it was a good experience for some of the younger players in our squad and they will probably go out on loan in January now.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am a big believer in the loan system and they will go and do well for somebody else now.”<\/span><\/p>\n
