FA Cup tie ABANDONED in 90th minute as players fight with fans

An FA Cup Preliminary Round tie gets ABANDONED in the 90th minute as players fight with fans, marring it for everyone involved.

Everything was going smoothly for Mossley, with the Northern Premier League Division One West finding themselves 2-0 up with injury time approaching.

However the travelling side, Lower Breck’s players ended up clashing with young supporters in the stand behind the goal and the game was stopped and the final five minutes were no longer played out.

The match has been abandoned in the 90th minute with the score 2-0 to Mossley.

Initially, this confused everyone who wasn’t at the game considering no update on the reason as to why the decision was made.

Fans have since reacted after the FA Cup tie gets ABANDONED in the 90th minute as players fight with fans…

@willyorkuk: It’s certainly not due to the weather……..

@DavidBo48322164: The result will stand as the match has completed more than the 75 minutes require for the game to be replayed

@JoshButlerBUFC: We were 2 up at Darlington on 89 mins last season due to injury and it had to be replayed. Covid meant it didn’t

@colinbond11: When Mossley scored Their 2nd goal the opposition Apparently jumped into the Mossley Afc end a d started fighting 😳

@paulsimonbaile1: Lower are saying it was racist

@JordanJones09: As if, there was a retaliation after the keeper had pints, fags etc thrown at him all game!

@LMaherrrrrr: All I know is that the lower breck fans are absolute scum of the earth, getting into fights with 15-18 year olds, typical scousers

@davidgpbarclay: i was there mate, the vile stuff those 3 pint Conor Mcgregors behind the goal were chanting and shouting was pathetic, hillsborough comments dont surprise me to be honest.

@Finders82: Always the same Mossley give it but can’t take it lol

@sophiestelfox2: @lowerbreck any excuses for your players and fans racially abusing and starting fights with 15 year old children? Absolutely disgusting behaviour

@Glastonburyking: Keepers are an easy target for the shithouse fans behind the goal shouting abuse and throwing things but when it gets put on them they proper shit it alright with the mouth

@timestepper: They are kids who were shouting “You scouse bastard” when the keeper took goal kicks. It was the keeper shouting racist insults and diving over the wall

@Drummon02042160: Players defending their goalkeeper against knobheads who hurled abuse at him the whole half then on the final whistle threw a pint and other stuff including ciggy butts.

@sallysox: Really gutted to hear about the events @MossleyAFC tonight against @lowerbreck. Football is about community and passion not racism and violence
