This is a few years old but still, just listen to the bloke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOUYZz7gdTQ
My opinion was that the guy who rang him (if it was him - there is no proof this was Diouf, could be anyone, could be the guy's mate and they set it up to make Diouf look bad) was a complete scumbag The guy who the call purports to be Diouf merely reacts in a way to tell the guy he was not scared of him and to tell him to xxxx off. Telling someone you will xxxx their mother and their sister and family etc is a standard way of insulting someone to rile them more and it happens in Britain every day when two people are having an argument. But this is especially in Africa and through the Middle East and South Asia because family honour is so important. So a good way to wind someone up in those cultures is to use it. All that happened here is that two people had an argument using the methods of argument from two different cultures. To claim that Diouf was more at fault in this respect is wrong. He won't have instigated the call either. Judgment should not be made on the basis of this tripe.
Elmo -He has a history of being a total dirtbox Spitting at Westham fans Spat at a Celtic fan Spat at a boro fan Spat at a pompey player. Rasict towards a kid at Evertons ground Probably a lot more thats not reported.
No problem with highlighting those things Dublin Did any of it happen in the last year? Any chance he may have learnt? Coming from Senegal, is it just because we have different standardas and he reverts back to the standards he was brought up with on the field? I don't know, maybe I am looking for excuses to be able to accept him and give us the time to judge him on what he does for us - be that good or bad
No doubt about it, he is certainly not a gentleman and yes you could say he comes from a nation where this is standard behaviour. He has done a lot wrong on the pitch but so have dozens of other players, he has a reputation and once you have earned one it sticks. I have already mentioned John Terry - Has Diouf behaved any worse than an England captain who has also been accused of being racist, spitting at a player and shagging a team mates bird?
Pompey fan in peace. Diouf is a revolting individual - I was at the match where he deliberately spat in the face of our Dutch defender Arjan De Zeeuw, who had phlegm running down his face. He is a disgusting pig
No. The following article shows that spitting can be seen by many in Senegal as medical practice. http://saharareporters.com/article/spitting-prayers-and-spread-diseases-leo-igwe I prefer to agree with the author that it is disgusting and can spread disease. Diouf has not done it since 2004. I'd say he has turned a corner But the practice of spitting at someone as a revolting act in re3tribution over something is not confined to Diouf nor to football nor to sport: England rugby player www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlvLI9mwqmQ Kuwaiti MP - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...t-MP-barred-from-parliament-for-spitting.html French rugby player - http://joe.ie/the-2011-rugby-world-...itting-claims-against-french-player-0017077-1
Respect to Leeds Fans but that's the best one I've heard in a long time,flobbing in somebodies face is a healthy action,next we will hear kicking somebody in the teeth is good for dentistry..
You're not wrong wizered but it just goes to show how some communities in the world have such a different way of looking at things. It is only British arrogance that refuses to see other cultures and the way they have developed as merely on their way to our standards but they need help in getting there Those who solely judge are no different from those they judge
The way British 'standards' have slipped they'll no doubt overtake us in social etiquette soon. The way British expats behave in countries like Spain, not to mention British youth pissed up in the gutter in places like Ibiza already makes us a laughing stock throughout the world. Maybe the British should step off the moral high ground, stop looking down their noses at Johnny Foreigner, and take a leaf out of Continental Europe to see how to behave themselves when they're abroad and surrounded by another country's customs and culture
