Queens Park Rangers' Adel Taarabt has stormed out of the Moroccan camp after learning he would not start Saturday's African qualifier against Algeria.

The temperamental midfielder has vowed to quit international football for good after being told he would start the Marrakech clash on the bench.

"I am currently in Marseille," he told Moroccan station Radio Mars on Friday.

"I never want to play for the national team again, with or without (Morocco coach) Eric Gerets."

Moroccan sports correspondent Hakim Gazaoui has told the BBC that fans in Morocco have reacted with anger to Taarabt's move.

After the playmaker was told he would be benched for the Group D clash, Taarabt, 22, reacted by flying to France.

"I decided to quit the national team after learning that I was not going to start against Algeria," Taarabt explained.

"I left without giving any explanations to the coach. I did not want to create any problems within the squad."

"The national team is now finished for me. I would prefer to represent my country through my club."

Taarabt was a key factor in QPR's recent promotion to the Premier League, being named the Championship player of the year.

He has had problems with the Moroccan team before, reacting badly when forced to start last October's 2012 Nations Cup qualifier against Tanzania on the bench.

Having played for France at youth level, Taarabt made his debut for the land of his birth in 2009.

Not "Binnying" it due to posters bitching about it.

For you, anything...

 

[redsar]

Spoiled brat

 

[Oncy]

What a massive cunt.
I would imagine hes just secured a stay at qpr now.

 

[themn]

I heard about this earlier.

I reckon he's going to be one of those "Big Fish, Small Pond" players, in that he has to be *the* man, or he acts the goat/plays like shite.

If/when he makes the move to a top club, I think his fragile ego/insecure bullshit will see him out on loan, and the out the door within 2 seasons.

Prune.

Anyone still wanna buy him ?

 

[Modo]

Must admit that I've been impressed by his performances.
Wanted him to join, but after reading this...

Still want him to join. If he's a cock then good, either he'll show it off on the pitch or we'll ruin his career


Providing we don't pay loads obv

Don't want it to be another Diouf...

 

[737Max]

He'll fit in well along with Barton

 

[TheBunnyman]

Well at least he couldn't get injured on international duty.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

I'd like to see him pull that stunt with The King.

 

[Squiggles]

International football is shit, but this is definitely the sign of a massive, massive cunt.

He's put question marks all over his attitude now and that's something prospective clubs will be wary off. What a thick twat.

 

[Cerberus]

This is the greatest thread ever.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

What a dickhead

 

[gareth_thomas]

if i was a proffesional player id probably retire from international duty early too...

One week playing at Chelsea - the next at some dusty field in the middle of nowhere against a team of 6 foot 5 monsters kicking the shit out of you.

I know it's a terrible attitude to have but I can barely name you 3 Moroccan players...Chamakh, Boussoufa and Taarabt and if he can't get in the first-team after being awarded the Championships Player of the Year he is probably thinking, 'what more can I do' and 'why should I bother'.

I can name a 4th one, though I'm unsure how often he's named to the squad:

Yes, I hear Xavi is getting "well fucked off" with playing against cunts on International duty.
