CONCORD Rangers left-back Michael O’Donoghue was disgusted after seeing his ex-Haringey Borough allegedly racially abused in their FA Cup fourth qualifying round tie with Yeovil Town.

Haringey goalkeeper Valery Douglas Pajetat was said to have been spat at and has missiles thrown at him, while defender Coby Rowe is thought to have been abused.

O’Donoghue, who is currently on the sidelines through injury, joined his former team-mates in the dressing room after Tom Loizou - the Borough boss - took his team off the pitch.

After the fourth qualifying round tie was abandoned, O’Donoghue said: “As soon as they scored it was starting to kick-off again and you could see the Haringey players were getting abused and felt unsettled.

“The referee was seen removing the bottles thrown at the players and then the managers of both teams went on and escorted their teams off the pitch.

“I went into the changing room with the boys, the referee called in both captains and managers to have a talk about what to do next.

“The boys made a group decision to make a stand and not go back out to play.

“The officials and Yeovil manager came into the Haringey changing room and said they will back whatever decision the Haringey boys made, so that was class from them.

“The boys were disgusted and you could see a few were distraught from getting abused like that.”

O’Donoghue had a three-and-a-half year spell with Haringey before leaving Coles Park Stadium to join Danny Scopes’ Concord in the summer.

But injury has blighted his start to life at the Aspect Arena and, with the full-back unavailable for selection in the defeat to Hungerford Town at the weekend, O’Donoghue looked to support his former team-mates as they aimed to reach the first round.

Since the allegations of racial abuse, two men - aged 23 and 26 - were arrested in Chard and Yeovil on suspicion of racially aggravated common assault and taken into custody.

Metropolitan Police officers are leading the investigation, with the help of Avon and Somerset Police, while the FA have launched an investigation of their own.
