Warnock blasts 'gutter' boy Diouf (Mod Warning Post #16)

MD1990

QPR manager Neil Warnock has launched an astonishing attack on Blackburn Rovers winger El-Hadji Diouf following their FA Cup defeat.
The Championship side suffered a 1-0 loss to Rovers in the FA Cup on Saturday, but it was Diouf's reaction to Jamie Mackie's serious injury that annoyed Warnock.
The Senegalese forward issued a verbal volley at Mackie who was stretchered off and taken to hospital where it was confirmed he suffered a double leg break.
Warnock believes the loss of Mackie, who he expects to be without for the remainder of the season, is a massive blow to their promotion hopes.
However, it was Diouf's reaction that upset him and his players and he does not believe Rovers boss Steve Kean will allow him to play for the club for much longer.
Double break

"He's broken both of his bones in his leg, his tib and his fib," Warnock said on Mackie's injury.
"It's disappointing for everyone. It pales into insignificance, the result really.
"I'm pulling my hair out as well because I wasn't going to play him. He pleaded with me to play him yesterday.
"That's how he is, he wants to play in everything. We'll miss him. It's a massive blow to us.
"I can't see him really playing again this season. The lads have said 'we've really got to try and get promotion for him now'.
Disappointed

"He's a fantastic lad, so that's why I was disappointed when El-Hadji Diouf starts, the lads were furious at him.
"He'd broken his leg. There was no need for it. I think the Blackburn people were embarrassed.
"I can't buy people like that. I don't know why he wants to take on the world every week.
"There was no need for him to put the finger up and talk to Mackie like he did. He was calling him a disgrace and all sorts of things.
"I think for many years I think he's been the 'gutter' type of boy. I was going to call him a sewer rat, but that might insult the sewer rats. I think he's the lowest of the low.
"I can't see him being at Blackburn much longer because I can't see Steve Kean putting up with someone like that in the dressing room when he's creating a new image.
"I think he'll be the first to go. Good riddens. I hope he goes abroad. I won't miss watching him. Sign him? I wouldn't want to talk to him."

As much as I despise Warnock;

Take a bow.

MD1990

i think warnock went a bit far with his comments

eagle eye

Ok lets clear this up immediately. Jamie Mackie put in a horrendous tackle on Gael Givet. He stood up after it and then like nearly every player does these days he went to ground again, 99 times out of 100 the player is feigning injury.

Dioufy had a go at him over the tackle. I don't think he had any idea that the player was in so much trouble. Somebody is making stuff up here. If you get to see the whole incident you will notice that nobody rush to the aid of Mackie despite him waving for assistance. Even when the QPR medical staff arrived on the pitch they thought that he wasn't too bad and they tried to stand him up.

This is all horribly overblown.

One thing that should be taken from this incident is that all those players that feign injury after putting in a bad challenge left Mackie not being taken seriously for quite a while.

And finally, Gael Givet was taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg. As it turns out he is ok and only has severe bruising.

bohsman

Not often I take Colins side in anything but he's definitely right in this case.

Mister men

Don't like anything about Warnock as a man and manager but he's bang on the money here. Diouf is a horrible horrible person as well as a very average footballer. Remember some of the stories about the way he treated women he had dated in the past. He makes Terry look like a loving husband.

Be all this as it may, I cannot believe you are trying to defend Diouf.

Diouf is a disgrace of a player. Absolute vermin. At Liverpool, when he spat at the Celtic fans, i never wanted him in a red shirt again.

The only problem i would have with Warnock's comments is saying that Kean shouldn't play him again or he expects this to happen.

What the Blackburn manager decides to do with his own player is nothing to do with Warnock. State his opinion on Diouf and the incident by all means, but not as far as telling the opposing manager what to do.

Liverpool fans know what diouf is about, we saw it first hand eagle eye. The other day when we played you he was escorted off the side of the pitch by a steward and a policewoman for acting the bollox trying to wind people up.

I dont have any comment on this incident or warnock because i havent seen anything. But i do know this, diouf is a bad egg, the man has no class whatsoever.

His actions were actually a word you love to use so much.

Absolutely Disgraceful.

I'm not a huge fan of the man myself. I don't think he is a bad egg though. He gives everything on the pitch but he loves to act the maggot. I think he is still very immature tbh.

I was just giving the real version of events. Hell they even tried to get Mackie to walk off the pitch, nobody thought it was that bad. And his tackle was awful, everybody thought he had broken Givet's leg so I can understand why Diouf had a go at him.

this thread is an abuse-pit waiting to happen.

because of the manner of the incident, i'm not going to ban/infract anyone for comments before this post.

BUT NOW YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

any more abuse from here on in, even towards Diouf, will be met with action.

there's still a lot more to be talked about with this incident without having to get personal about him.

thanks.

Yep, clearly it's every other players fault, not Dioufs. Bastards were all setting him up for years as a cunning plan.

Do you see what you quoted.

That has nothing to do with Diouf at all. I'm talking about how long it took for him to get medical attention. Its like the QPR medical staff thought he was just acting or something.

I'm saying that its the norm these days when a player thinks he is going to get carded for a bad challenge to go down and feign injury. I'm saying this may have lead to how long it took before any of the QPR staff actually realised how bad their player was.

In other words if players weren't constantly feigning injury then the medical staff would have been on the field sooner.

Mr. Presentable

So what is the point of the OP. Surely if you are going to copy and paste a bunch of vitriol from a tabloid website you should have some remark to explain why you posted it. Does the OP agree, disagree, have an opening debating position?

In respect of the content linked, the manager of the injured player is lashing out, angry. Understandable.

The Diouf chap in the heat of the moment on the playing field saw what he thought was simulation and berated the player. Also understandable.

Storm in a teacup and a non-thread unless the OP can offer a position from which debate might ensue.

greendom

Uncalled for by Warnock, but understandable as he's upset after losing such an important player for his team.

It either happened the way Eagle Eye said or it didn't.

But if it did then how is he not abolsutely right in his evaulation that it is being overblown?

I would and do give opposition players earfuls if they take out one of my players.

I see someone was creative with the first line of Diouf's wiki page

Eagle Eye ,
I will give you a hint ...

The incident was between Mackie & Givit .
Where does Diouf (or Dioufy as you fondly call him :rolleyes:) come into it ???

Nowhere !

Your defending of this "already well said by Warnock"is DISGRACEFUL

Yes disgraceful , that word and acquisition you place on LFC fans on a daily basis .

I can tell you one thing , if he done that whilst playing for Liverpool I wouldn't be on here defending him .

The true disgraceful fan has just shown his colours IMO .

M

ctrl-alt-delete

Warnock and Diouf are as bad as each other history wise.
Diouf had every right to feel aggrieved as a result of that challenge, it was plain nasty,
I'll admit I haven't seen the full interview with Warnock but it seems he has not mentioned the tackle at all, he does a good job of making it out like Diouf was making a laugh out of a player who 'had' his leg broken.

I don't like Diouf much, but he has done nothing wrong in my eyes here, I would have done the same.

As for Warnock I'm dreading him being back in the Premier League spotlight again, he is a self pitying moan of a manager with double standards.

Spot on. Diouf is just a vile player, a total disgrace in his actions over the years.

Het-Field

Hate Diouf.

Dispise Warnock. I always remember the time he tried to use a myriad of other cicumstances (particularly Carlos Tevez) to justify Sheffiled United's loss of a 10 point advantage over 4 relegation rivals in 2007.

I also think it is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Im sure the "Battle of Bramell Lane" would escape his memory during his rant.

Warnock is a bitter little man who deserves repeated failure.

eagle eye

Yeah people are straying away from this non-incident here to castigate Diouf. I have no intention of defending his past actions but on this occasion he did nothing intentionally wrong. There was no way he could have known that Mackie has broken his leg and the challenge that Mackie made was horrendous and imo he was right to have a go at him for it while not knowing the extent of Mackie's injury.

I'm a little surprised at the lack of judging the incident on its merit as well.

Your calling him "dioufy" now?:D:D. The man is a disgrace.Hes disgraced every club he's ever played for. My abiding memory of him is of him spitting into the Celtic crowd while at Liverpool in the Uefa cup game at CP.Houllier had to take him off for his own safety since the ref hadnt the balls to send him off.He wouldnt have been so brave to spit on a fan walking through the gallowgate. A repulsive coward.

Just saw the Mackie challenge there briefly and on first viewing I couldn't see anything wrong with it.

And the relevance of that little rant to eagle_eye's post which simply explained what happened is......?

As a standalone incident it's a mountain/molehill situation, but is being used an opportunity to fire in a few potshots because of the player involved.

Your right.I just detest djiouf though.

I was just talking to my cousin who is a QPR season ticket holder i will admit so he may be a bit biased but he was at the game and said the tackle was a 50/50.
I haven't seen it myself

Eirebear

I'm not actually defending Diouf here because i havnt seen the whole incident, but Eagle Eye's account of what happened seems quite plausible to me.

It seems to me that a few people on this thread seem a little too quick to attack the poster due to whatever he has said regarding other clubs and fans.

Maybe people need to take a step back and actually asses the situation, rather than going on the word of a lunatic like Warnock?

Surely we need a contradiction in order to create an oxymoron?

I've already said i'm not defending Diouf, and if you look back over the history of this particular forum i'm sure Warnock will give him a run for his money in terms of the amount of posts giving him stick.

So why would I take Warnock's word over anyone elses when i havnt seen the incident myself?

I disagree. Going up to a player on a stretcher and saying "Fcuk you and fcuk your leg" (according to the QPR players at least) is entirely unnaceptible and is entirely in keeping with his previous.

eagle eye

From the QPR website confirming what I said earlier that even the QPR staff didn't think it was that serious.

"Initially we did not think it was as serious as it is.
