Diouf brands Calum Murray the worst ref I've ever had
Murray red carded Diouf after the final whistle in Rangers 1-0 Scottish Cup defeat from Celtic and has been branded the worst ref ever by the Blackburn outcast.
Speaking on French television channel Canal plus he said: “The Celtic match where I got a red card was incredible. At first I went to see the ref as I was being kicked all over the park.
“The ref said to me ‘You don’t have the right to speak to me’ which annoyed me.
“The Celtic manager insulted me, I answered back and I got a yellow card whereas he got nothing at all.
“You have to say the ref messed up the game with cards flying everywhere. I know it must be tough for him but still, I guess some refs find it hard to handle these type of games.
“At the end I told the ref he was the worst ref I’ve ever had so he gave me another card.
“I said ‘you can give me as many cards as you like, the match is over now’. I know it’s not good to get cards but I’m only suspended for the cup, not the league.
“At the end I wanted to give my shirt to our fans because even though I hate losing, I felt we lost in a dignified way.
“We lost 1-0 with nine players in the end and officials who were against us. We’ll be the champions, I am absolutely certain of that.”
Diouf’s admissions of what he said to Murray should make life easier for the SFA Disciplinary Committee who have ordered the player to appear before them on April 12.
Despite Diouf’s claim that he’s only suspended for the cup the Discipilary Committee can hand out a suspension that applies to SPL matches.
It is unlikely that the increasingly tiresome SFA President George Peat will advice the committee on Diouf’s punishment after the failed Airdrie director was reprimanded for his part in Neil Lennon’s six match touchline ban.
