It is very distressing, Loizou told BBC Radio 5 Live. The insult some of my players got was so also disgusting.
Yeovils players and manager were distinct course. Their team attempted to calm down their fans, they tried their best and they supported us – they saidwe are walking away together with you, when you are walking away.
I took the decision to take off my team and I really dont need Yeovil Town to get punished for this. They go through and if we get thrown out of the FA Cup, there is not any hard feelings there.
I have not done it for every other motive than looking to my participants faces and seeing just how distraught they were. They are not used to this

The players and I decided we had support [Haringey] and also make a stand together, and also be more powerful with togetherness.
My mind is in an absolute spin. Ive gone through a situation I never hoped Id go through.
We, footballers and managers, get a lot of abuse but nobody should feel discriminated against when they are come to play soccer.
I feel weve done the correct thing. I am not likely to feel anything aside from pleased for the way the players conducted themselves.
