QPR Official Site - HILL: 'J'S AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL' - Clint Hill has backed fellow team-mate Jamie Mackie to make a speedy recovery following his double leg break in the R's 1-0 FA Cup third round defeat at Blackburn Rovers.
On an afternoon when QPR more than matched their Premier League opponents, Mackie suffered both a broken tibia and fibia in a challenge with Rovers defender Gael Givet.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Hill said: "For the first 20 minutes we were all at sea, but apart from that we coped really well.
"But, for me, it's all about Jamie Mackie.
"He's a character and, with what he brings to the team, he's been an inspiration to us all.
"I can't put into words how bad we all feel for him."
R's Assistant Manager Mick Jones last week labelled Mackie as 'the most dedicated professional' that he has worked with, and Hill says the R's front-man has what it takes to bounce back as soon as possible.
"We wish him a speedy recovery and hopefully we can all pull together and do something for him by achieving the goals that we want to," explained Hill.
"The effort that he puts in on the training pitch tells me that we'll see a fully recovered Jamie Mackie back in action as soon as he can do.
"We'll all give him the support that he needs."
Rangers travel to Burnley next weekend in a return to npower Championship action and, although the left-back knows the stern test that the Clarets will provide, Hill says that his fellow charges know what's required in the vital coming months.
Hill added: "It's always going to be tough going to Burnley, and they might also have a new Manager in place and raise their game.
"We know what we've got to do now - it's all about the league." QPR
CONDEMNATIONS OF EL-HADJI DIOUF
DAILY MAIL -QPR players brand Blackburn's El-Hadji Diouf 'repulsive' after Jamie Mackie incident
Queens Park Rangers players used Twitter to round on Blackburn’s El-Hadji Diouf over his behaviour after Jamie Mackie suffered a broken leg in a tackle with Gael Givet during their FA Cup match at Ewood Park.
Diouf was furious at Mackie’s challenge and berated the Scotland international, who initially tried to get up but was then carried off on a stretcher with a broken tibia and fibula, before Blackburn beat Queens Park Rangers 1-0.
The striker is likely to miss the rest of the season but was able to travel home on the team coach after being released from Blackburn Royal.
Replying to a comment from Derby midfielder Robbie Savage, Mackie tweeted: “Proper disappointed that e diouf was in my ear while I’m on the deck with a broken leg saying ---- u and ---- your leg. thanks.”
The visitors’ players had to be pulled away from Diouf at the final whistle and he then had a confrontation with Rob Hulse and Shaun Derry in the tunnel after the match.
Rangers manager Neil Warnock described Diouf as “a gutter-type of boy”, “the lowest of the low” and said that “to call him a sewer rat would be an insult to sewer rats”.
Warnock added: “What sort of person does that when they have a broken leg? He’s a disgrace and Steve [Keane, Blackburn’s manager] will not put up with that. He’ll be out, I’d say, when he gets sorted out.
“You don’t need that in the dressing room. I said to our lot, ‘Eh, don’t get carried away, lads. We only see him once. They’ve got to live with him’.”
The anger continued with another personal attack from QPR right-back Bradley Orr on Twitter. He said: “Never come across a more repulsive human being than E H Diouf! The things he was saying were disgusting! The lad has just broke (sic) his leg! You horrible disgusting man E H Diouf! Your time will come!”
Goalkeeper Paddy Kenny added: “So gutted for the boy Mackie, football can be horrible sometimes, and that ---- diouf will get it one day, what goes around comes around.”
Blackburn have been here before many times and Kean will hope that the controversy blows over.
His side progressed into the fourth round thanks to a 77th-minute goal from the youngster David Hoilett and Kean, who retains an interest in bringing Manchester City’s Roque Santa Cruz back to Ewood Park, hopes to add at least two players to his injury-plagued squad ahead of next weekend’s trip to Chelsea.
After public and ill-fated pursuits of Ronaldinho and David Beckham, Blackburn defender Michel Salgado believes that the club need to aim their sights lower in the transfer market.
“I don’t think someone like Beckham coming here for three months is the best thing for him or Blackburn,” Salgado said. “We’d prefer three or four club players with good experience, maybe not top class, but ones who would be really good for this club in the future.
“Maybe Ronaldinho wouldn’t be in the mood to play here in England with the weather and those things. You have to be honest. He would be a big name for us, maybe around the world they will talk about us a bit more now. But on the pitch I would prefer a good team, playing well and getting results.”

EVENING STANDARD - Jamie Mackie blasts 'absolute disgrace' El-Hadji Diouf
QPR striker Jamie Mackie has branded El-Hadji Diouf "an absolute disgrace" after it was claimed the Blackburn player abused him while he lay on the pitch with a broken leg.
Mackie sustained a double fracture in a 50-50 clash with defender Gael Givet which saw both players carried off on stretchers in Rovers' 1-0 FA Cup third-round victory at Ewood Park on Saturday.
QPR manager Neil Warnock described Diouf after the game as "the gutter type", adding: "I was going to call him a sewer rat but that might be insulting to sewer rats."
And Mackie was equally incensed, describing Diouf's alleged behaviour as "repulsive".
The 25-year-old said in the Sun: "I'm lying on the floor with a bad injury and even his team-mates were embarrassed by what Diouf was saying.
"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.
"There's no place in football for the likes of Diouf. There's a line and he crossed it. Diouf was repulsive." Standard

QPR unite to condemn El Hadji Diouf after bad day at Blackburn
• The things he was saying were disgusting, says Bradley Orr
• 'Never come across a more repulsive human being'
The Queens Park Rangers players united after the game in condemning El Hadji Diouf for apparently taunting Jamie Mackie after the winger sustained a broken leg in this third-round tie. Mackie, whose season has come to a premature conclusion because of a broken tibia and fibula, claimed on his Twitter site: "Proper disappointed that El Hadji Diouf was in my ear while am on the deck with a broken leg saying 'F*** you and F*** your leg.'"
Mackie's team-mate Bradley Orr retorted: "Never come across a more repulsive human being than Diouf! The things he was saying were disgusting! The lad has just broke his leg! You horrible disgusting man Diouf! Your time will come!"
It was a reminder that the Senegalese's career can appear to be a crash course in losing friends and alienating people. And the serial agent provocateur can now add the players and staff of QPR to his lengthy list of enemies. Diouf's agent, Alexandre Krstic, could not be contacted for comment yesterday.
Diouf's insults to a stricken opponent breached the unspoken agreement that hostilities cease when a player is seriously injured. "He was putting his finger up to Jamie Mackie, telling him he was a complete disgrace," said the QPR manager, Neil Warnock, who likened Diouf to a sewer rat and suggested that is where he belongs. Rovers are expected to look into the incidents but have yet to comment publicly. However, Warnock said that even Ewood Park employees had said they were sorry about the Senegalese's behaviour.
"What sort of person does that when they have a broken leg? There's no need for it in the game. Steve [Kean, the manager] will not put up with that. One lady from the Blackburn staff came and apologised to me. I think their lads were all the same as the lady. I said to our lot: 'Eh, don't get carried away, lads. We only see him once; they've got to live with him.' You don't need that in the dressing room."
Warnock said: "I can't abide people like that. I don't know why he wants to take on the world every week. For many years I have thought he [Diouf] was the gutter type – I was going to call him a sewer rat but that might be insulting to sewer rats.
"I think he is the lowest of the low and I can't see him being at Blackburn much longer because I can't see Steve Kean putting up with someone like that in the dressing room when he is trying to form a new image for Blackburn. I think he will be the first to go and good riddance – I hope he goes abroad because I won't miss watching him. He is a nasty little person."
Mackie was injured in a 50-50 clash with the defender Gaël Givet which led to both players being carried off on stretchers. "It was not a malicious tackle but it is his standing foot and you can see in the slow motion [that] his leg bends," said Warnock. "It is disappointing for everyone and the result pales into insignificance. I'm pulling my hair out because I didn't want to play him but he pleaded with me to play yesterday – that's how he is, he wants to play in everything. We will miss him, it is a massive blow because I can't see him playing [again] this season."
The composition of Rovers' future squad was also addressed by their right-back Michel Salgado following the much-mocked efforts to recruit Ronaldinho and David Beckham which failed, but the Spaniard believes they are better off without either.
Salgado spent a decade at Real Madrid and argues that Rovers should not be looking to bolt supposed superstars on to a side whose marked lack of glamour has not prevented them from occupying ninth place in the Premier League.
"I don't think someone like Beckham coming here for three months is the best thing for him or Blackburn. We'd prefer three or four club players with good experience. It's great that the name of Blackburn is known around the world but if you sign Ronaldinho I don't think you'll have enough money to sign another three players."
Ronaldinho eventually preferred his homeland to the homely atmosphere of Ewood Park but Salgado was also sceptical about the Brazilian. "Maybe he wouldn't be in the mood to play here in England with the weather and those things. You have to be honest. He would be a big name for us but on the pitch I would prefer a good team."
Junior Hoilett's well-taken goal secured Rovers' progress in a competition that , the small crowd notwithstanding, Salgado is taking rather more seriously than the Copa del Rey in Spain. "That is a pain in the ass," he said. Deploying rather more colourful vocabulary, QPR expressed similar sentiments about Diouf.

Daily Star - EL TO PAY FOR HADJI DIOUF OVER VILE JIBE
Jamie Mackie last night accused El-Hadji Diouf of aiming sickening four-letter abuse at him while he was writhing in agony
STRICKEN Jamie Mackie last night accused El-Hadji Diouf of aiming sickening four-letter abuse at him while he was writhing in agony with a double leg-break.
QPR striker Mackie broke his leg in two places following a 50-50 clash with Gael Givet in the 1-0 defeat at Ewood Park on Saturday.
But he was stunned to hear callous Diouf screaming in his ear while he was flat out on the pitch.
Mackie said: “I’m disappointed Diouf was in my ear as I was on the deck with a broken leg saying: ‘F**k you and f**k your leg’. Thanks!”
Team-mate Bradley Orr added: “I never came across anyone as vile as Diouf. He needs to be exposed for what he is – a repulsive man!” The actions of Diouf infuriated QPR manager Neil Warnock, who said: “For many years I’ve thought he is a gutter-type and I was going to call him a sewer rat.
“But, on reflection, that might be insulting the sewer rats! I think he’s the lowest of the low.”
Diouf clearly thought that Mackie had gone in too strongly for the challenge, but Warnock said: “He was just putting his finger up to Jamie Mackie, telling him he was a complete disgrace.
“There’s no need for it in the game. I don’t know why he does it.
“What sort of person does that when someone has a broken leg?
“It’s a disgrace. Steve Kean (Blackburn’s caretaker-boss) will not put up with that. He’ll be out, I’d say, when he gets it sorted out.” Daily Star
