‘Racially abused and spat at’: FA Cup tie abandoned with players ‘frightened’
The HinduAn FA Cup qualifying match between Haringey Borough and Yeovil Town was abandoned after allegations that players were racially abused and spat on. Haringey manager Tom Loizou said defender Coby Rowe suffered racial abuse while Cameroonian goalkeeper Douglas Pajetat was also spat at, prompting him to take his players off the pitch. “Early into the second half, we got a corner and a couple of the players said to me there was monkey chants,” Loizou told Sky News. I can’t sit down and watch young players being abused by a minority.” Can't believe I'm tweeting this and it's 2019 but today I was a victim of racism, in what was supposed to be a great day for @HaringeyBoroFC another game of football ruined by racists. Another game of football ruined by racists.” ‘Matter of urgency’ Anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out praised the “swift and decisive action” taken by Loizou and his players.
