I enjoyed watching him in his time at Torquay and would have been a good loan player, but chances are he will go back to London.

He is a F***ing useless ****.

Good riddance as far as I am concerned.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt before because I actually thought he would be a great asset in League 2, but he has been the big baby and threw his toys out of the pram, and he refused to play against Orient, stating that his head wasn't right to play. So he can f*ck right off.

He showed glimpses of what a good player he can be, when we had Lambert, and then Heffernan, and now Harrold, he looks good playing uptop with a guy who can actually hold the ball up, but he is so inconsistent and has no football brain whatsoever and does tricks when he doesn't need to, but when he does need to does f*ck all.

He is very well paid aswell for a 4th division footballer, so his wages saved would be a bonus.

Hopefully him going can now give Mgleish the chance to play upfront and score the goals that Jo uffour could only dream of despite being nearly 10 years older.

well he must be quicker than you Trojan. lol

I'll clarify the above. Joe Kuffour and Joker4 sound precisely alike, with the four in Kuffour matching the 4 in Joker4. I don't see it as derogatory in any way.


I see it as a masterpiece in the play on "words" and the poster who coined it is to be applauded for their quickness of mind.

So who is the poster who plucked that classic out of the ether ?

Joker4 is quite amusing. I also liked Yahoo's headline referring to Joe's wish to leave Rovers: Go on now Jo,walk out Kuffour

Seems he's not welcome anymore

A lot of gasheads wont miss him, but with the right partner up front (eg Lambert and now Harrold) he is really effective. Plus he has had to deal with 10 foot high long balls from defence most of his time here.

I hope he joins a L1 side when he finally does leave permenantly as I wouldnt fancy facing him.

No he's still here, but I suspect he will be off on loan when the loan window opens

About the "Joker4" thing, I just didnt know if you were thinking we were using it in a derogative way or not. I use it and he'd be in my starting X1 every week. Kuffour tends to be spelt in all kind of weird and wonderful ways, not seen too many attempt his full name though!!!

Hi Gashead.
I don't think it's a particular dig at Joe. I don't known if you have met him but because I have also followed Rovers as well over the years I still know Joe and he is a really nice guy. He's matured into a really good players who is generally consistant and has to be one of, if not the best player at the club.

In several matches when I watched him up there at the Mem he changed matches in an instant by a very quick turn and shot which usualy shot into the back of the net. I don't know many other players who you could have said that about even including Lambert who when he got the ball you could see he was aiming for goal. or Hoskins who was very much the same way. They could bang em in but were predictable. Joe Kuffour is not. and that's his strength.

Many strikers will get a ball and you can see how a goal could come about when they have it. defenders don't get to stop them because they can't catch them or get the ball off them. joe would get the ball and sometimes score a great goal out of nothing because you never knew there was a chance of a goal and were not prepared for it.
He will only have my respect. becauase of that skill. and I suspect a lot of Gulls fans will do as well.

What we do notice on many boards is the shorthand that fans use to get over a players name if they either can't spell or remember a not so common name, and somtimes it is genuinly funny what they come out with.

I have often commented on here about how a thread can turn out funny because someone has spelt something wrong or in a shorthand way and it was funny. nothing to be hurt about unless you see that the thread is aimed at being somewhat antagnonistic. I would rather celebrate it as something that can brighten up our day.

We do get a Red supporter come on he (summat like Red Jim isn't it. Can't remember his name) I can't bring myself to mention teams in red. it doesn't matter if I watch the Bristol Blue side or The Gulls I have this problem with a team down the road in red called S***y who are the main local rivals. But sometimes his comments are priceless.
It's just a respect no matter how grudging, that they may support the oppo team but we are all human beings (even if some of them are has beens) and we all have a part in this game and can earn some respect.

Whats weird/funny about spelling his name Joker4??.....it's not a dig at him or anything.

Don't confuse JK (Joker4) with JK ("Rowling" on the floor).

Aye, it is someone from the "Gas Board".
