Blackburn Rovers legend Simon Garner has blasted QPR boss Neil Warnock over his attack on El Hadji Diouf.
Diouf is accused of taunting broken leg victim James Mackie during and after their FA Cup win.
Blackburn Rovers declined to comment on the incident as they waited for a report on what had happened.
Garner told the Lancashire Telegraph: "What Warnock has said is bang out of order. I don't think I have ever heard anyone launch such an attack on a player like that. I am not going to say Diouf is an angel because he clearly isn't.
"He is a wind-up merchant and does step over the line too many times. So does Warnock, though.
"Warnock needs to take a long hard look at himself.
"What is it they say about people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?
"All our thoughts go out to Jamie Mackie but it is not as though Dioufy has broken his leg, is it? Things are said on the pitch, but how was he to know he had broken his leg?
"At one point Mackie actually got up and I think everyone thought it was Givet that was more seriously injured.
"In the heat of the moment, Diouf was angry at the initial tackle. Mackie's tackle could have broken Gael's leg and that is what Diouf was initially upset about.
"Would he be getting this stick if Givet had broken his leg, like some feared at first?"
