Diouf a 'disgrace' says QPR striker

AFP, Monday 10 Jan 2011

QPR striker James Mackie has branded El-Hadji Diouf an "absolute disgrace" after claiming the Blackburn player verbally abused him while he lay on the pitch with a double broken leg

Mackie suffered a double fracture in a clash with Gael Givet that saw both players carried off on stretchers in Blackburn's 1-0 FA Cup third-round victory over the Championship leaders at Ewood Park on Saturday.

QPR manager Neil Warnock labelled Diouf as "the gutter type", adding: "I was going to call him a sewer rat but that might be insulting to sewer rats."

And Mackie said Diouf's alleged behaviour as "repulsive", telling the Sun here on Monday: "I'm lying on the floor with a bad injury and even his team-mates were embarrassed by what Diouf was saying.

"There's no room for that in the game - and in my opinion he's an absolute disgrace.

"I'm trying hard not to think about Diouf. That's because when I do it makes me want to snap my cast off and run up there and find him.

"There's no place in football for the likes of Diouf. There's a line and he crossed it. Diouf was repulsive."
