Bolton's El-Hadji Diouf has sensationally admitted to intentionally getting himself sent off in order to play for Senegal.

 

 

 

The former Liverpool forward, who is less than popular away from The Reebok as it is, has been dismissed three times in the last five years.

 

 

Diouf's loyalty has often been criticised in his homeland, but the 26-year-old claims he sometimes goes out of his way to ensure his availability.

 

 

To add to the confusion surrounding the former African Player of the Year he has now been called up by his country just days after announcing his retirement.

 

 

"I have got myself sent off while playing for my clubs, in order that I could go off to play for the Senegal national side," he told the News of the World.

 

 

"I have refused lots of chances to play for my clubs so that I could answer my international call-ups and play in the African Cup of Nations."

 

 

 

 

 

Why cant he keep his mouth shut? According to the (reliable) News of the World the matches were Liverpool Vs Chelsea at Stamford Bridge when he got sent off with 3 minutes to go and the Bolton Vs Arsenal Match with the Lehmann incident. Also one whilst he was at Lens.

 

I wonder how Sammy will deal with this one?

Hopefully LSL will continue to show he's the boss and isn't afraid of making unpopular decisions.

I'd recommend selling the spitter.

why the fook does he have to open his fooking mouth.

 

he hasn't score for a year and we now have Whillelmsson so i agree with traf

 

get rid

i say stick by him.

i say stick by him.

 

I agree with Ani gotta bear in mind how much dioufy speaks before he thinks how would getting sent off playing for his club enable him to play for his country?? i can't think of any time whilst at bolton he hasn't been allowed to play for his country.

Now IF It is the Arsenal game, If I remember rightly that was the FA Cup Quarter Final which, if we won, would have set a winnable Semi Final against the inbreds. Now that is unforgiveable. A fooking disgrace. If it is true then he should never pull on a white shirt again.

If it is the Arsenal game then you remembered correctly. It was the FA cup. I think it was only about 20 minutes into the match if I remember correctly? Who else has he been sent off against?

 

Why cant the bloke just keep his mouth shut? If BWFC/Allardyce were trying to stop him playing for his country then I would not blame him. No-one should be stopped from playing for their country. But wait a bit longer than 20 minutes and keep it to yourself.

Diouf was sent off against arsenal on the 28th of january thus missing the wanderers next 2 games on the 31st and the 3rd of february senegal played on the 7th in france. so getting sent off in that game would've made no difference to wether he played or not.

 

i suspect journalistic bull shit in all this

Arsenal game was on 12th March 2005 look what happened 2 weeks after...

El Hadji Diouf scored twice as Senegal crushed Liberia 6-1 overnight to strengthen their chance of a second consecutive World Cup appearance.

 

The former African Footballer of the Year marked his first appearance for the Teranga Lions in the 2006 qualifying competition with a goal in each half as the weakened visitors were ripped apart in Dakar.

Speaks first thinks after, always has been his style. Will test alot of fans resolve with this one. But i dont think it can ever be proved!!

saw him outside tesco at m'brook last night in his lincoln navigator. he has retired from international footie in the last week and is obviously trying to justify that he loves his country at the same time. whether true or not the news of the world have been known to twist the odd word or two in the past.
