When the lad broke his leg, I never said anything back to him. I never talked to him, you can ask Benjani or Ryan Nelsen. Everything Warnock said is not right.'[LNB]Diouf also turned his fire on Warnockhimself, claiming he is not worthy of discussion.[LNB]He said: 'I am not disappointed with what Warnock said. Who is Warnock? He is nothing to me.

[LNB]QPR manager Neil Warnock and his players were incensed after seeing Diouf sneer at the stricken Mackie, accusing him of feigning injury when he had suffered a double fracture of his right leg. [LNB]Sportsmail revealed that Diouf 's refusal to show any remorse after Saturday's game led to a scuffle in the Ewood Park tunnel. [LNB]Mackierevealed on Sunday that, as he lay on the turf after the damaging tackle with Givet, Diouf stood over him and taunted: '**** you and **** your leg'. [LNB]Warnock described Diouf as a 'sewer rat' and claimed Blackburn boss Steve Kean wants to sell him, while hardman QPR defender Clint Hill issued Diouf with a warning that he 'will get what's coming to him'. [LNB]After Mackie's injury, Diouf became embroiled in a running verbal battle with several Rangers players, and the Senegal striker then aimed a slap at defender Bradley Orr at the final whistle.[LNB] The bad blood spilled over in the tunnel when Diouf renewed his attack on Mackie. A witness told Sportsmail: 'QPR striker Rob Hulse went over to Diouf to explain that Mackie had broken his leg and asked whether he would apologise.[LNB] 'Diouf, in no uncertain terms, said how he didn't care about Mackie's leg and told the QPR players where to go. Then it all kicked off.[LNB] 'What Diouf was saying was sickening - I can't believe he can say that about a fellow professional who had just broken his leg.'[LNB] Warnock claimed to have received an apology from a Blackburn official over Diouf 's behaviour and predicted Kean will seek to rid his dressing room of the controversial forward. [LNB] On target: Hoilett scored the only goal of the game as Blackburn progressed to the next round [LNB]One senior Blackburn player confided to QPR opponents that Diouf had been a 'disgrace', and a Rovers fan called BBC radio's 606 phone-in to demand the club sack him.[LNB] Warnock said: 'One lady from the Blackburn staff came and apologised to me. There's no need for it in the game, I don't know why he does it. You don't need that in the dressing room.[LNB]'I think their lads were all the same as the lady. I said to our lot, "Don't get carried away. We only see him once. They've got to live with him". [LNB]'Steve Kean will get rid of him, I'll be surprised if he's at Blackburn next year and, really, the sooner he's out of the country the better. [LNB]'It's about time he took it to another continent. I don't think he'll play in our game much longer, if I'm honest.' [LNB]QPR players used their Twitter pages to vent their anger at Diouf. Orr wrote he had 'never come across a more repulsive human being than Diouf'. And Mackie was equally incensed, describing Diouf's alleged behaviour as 'repulsive'.[LNB]The 25-year-old said: 'I'm lying on the floor with a bad injury and even his team-mates were embarrassed by what Diouf was saying.[LNB]'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.[LNB]'There's no place in football for the likes of Diouf. There's a line and he crossed it. Diouf was repulsive.'[LNB] Kean vows to investigate Diouf's alleged taunts at QPR crock MackieLeo's London: Diouf should not be in the game if Mackie slurs are trueTunnel fight after Diouf's sick jibes!
