[Archived] Spit The Diouf

[67splitscreen]

Losing a few pounds would not go amiss, unless it was my TV screen.

Seems to have put some on his notloB days.

[Ninjathunder]

On the evidence of yesterday, yay.

Blackburn pot calling Rishton kettle black?

This is a fair statement, i live in a fairly well to do area of Rishton I would say, my local (the stash) is a nice friendly bar, much nicer than some areas in Blackburn for sure.

Anyway thats well off topic.

Warnock backs Diouf

This is good news as there is always the nagging doubt as to whether players got on at the old club when they get reunited at a different club.

[rover6]

Yes, Phil, now I know why I haven't been able to sleep for days. I've been subconsciously worrying about whether Warnock and Diouf would be mates or not.

(Sorry, couldn't resist. It is a fair point you make).

Yeah you're right. I mean, if something like this comes out it must be true. Best of mates, I'd say.

Like Ince and Friedel.

[rover6]

Would anyone object if I abbreviated Spit the Diouf to STD from now on and until he has performed relegation-busting heroics that compel me to grovel in apology for doubting his ability and attitude?

[T4E]

Almost everyone would object. But since when have you let that bother you?

for me this is a big NAY....from the day he decided to spit at some celtic fans in glasgow and then at arjan de zeeuw on the pitch at bolton. i couldn't care less what colour shirt he is wearing, i will never cheer for him!

I seem to rem reading that it's the custom in Senegal of Africa or wherever.

When compared with the hacking off of limbs, endemic sexual expoitation and routine torture associated with sub-Saharan Africa (supra-Saharan Africa is another story in itself), it's probably quite an endearing custom when placed in context.

No doubt after being publicly excoriated by the Guardian and the BBC, De Zeuw should have publicly apologised and taken a few classes in mult-cultural tolerance for his reactionary and insensitive attitude to this charming display of Senegalese social etiquette.

On last day it was him who looked like the most gifted footballer out of all in blue'n'white. I hate him (no racism here, and I am his race), but happy that he is in the team. Let him give the creativity which we were lacking all season. And sell him to some other clubs for a slight profit margin. A win-win situation, where we are still in the premiership and he is in the pitch spitting people.

Maybe I am a tad too trusting, but somehow I don't think we will see a repeat of that particular disgusting behaviour from Mr. Diouf whilst he is a Rovers player.

Have you ever actually been to sub Saharan Africa?

lets hope not,but then he will be forgiven because he is our spitter if he did

Have you ever actually been to sub Saharan Africa?

Actually, yes.

Kenya, Ethiopia Tanzania and South Africa (in the good old days ).

And North Africa.

Still reading the Guardian?

Good old days. Before the natives started getting all uppity, eh?

And no, I don't really read the Guardian regularly, save for some well written articles on their website it's not my paper of choice.

Eddie, I choose not to join in with the chorus of ridicule that greets the majority of your posts, because I was always taught that it isn't nice to mock the afflicted.

Having said that, try doing a quick straw poll around Harare (not advisable) and see how happy and much better off the locals are since the days of 'arch-racist' Ian Smith. Today, Zimbabwe is a failed state with a basket-case economy. It's once-flourishing agricultural sector is now devastated, and its population is beyond the brink of starvation and disease. According to a UN Development Programme index, life expectancy there today is one of the lowest in the world. So much for liberation.

South Africa is a few years behind Zimbabwe on the path to independence. Jacob Zuma meanwhile has been elected leader of the ANC and will be South Africa's next president: In 2006 however, Mr Zuma was acquitted of raping a HIV-positive family friend. During his trial he stated that he had showered after unprotected sex with the woman to guard against possible infection. Granted our Royals are stupid, but this is taking ignorance to a new level.

Let's see how South Africa is faring in 10 years time shall we.

I think eddie is referring to your geography which is pretty skewiff in terms of where you think sub-saharan Africa is.

Think you'll find South Africa is sub-Saharan Philip, as are the other countries mentioned.

Just because the current leaders in those countries are bad, it doesn't mean you can call the days of oppression and apartheid the "good old days". Have you ever thought they maybe, just maybe, the policies of apartheid may have been a major contributing factor when considering why deprivation among black communities is so high in South Africa? Your shattering ignorance is even more unforgivable given that you've allegedly been to those places.

Don't hijack another football thread please - Secret Zimbabwe thread is here

I don't like the fella but he did give us a bit more of an edge during the last home game. If he keeps us up then he will have redeemed himself in my eyes.

Dont leave it there Philip. I'm curious. Please enlighten us all where the term 'sub Saharan Africa' is in your opinion.

What do the economic situations in Zimbabwe and South Africa have anything to do with the culture and the levels of standard behaviour in Senegal? This isn't the time or place for a cultural lesson, but I do admire how you try to appear as intelligent and well-informed as possible. Interesting that you seem to be so well-informed and pompous about where Diouf is from and yet you haven't been to West Africa. All the same thing though I guess, right?

Could you also retract your comment about South Africa in the "good old days" please. I find that highly offensive.
