Vuvuzelas

[SWP's back]

I hate them but understand it is South African Culture.

So I would allow them for SA matches only and let the fans support their Team which everyone will be doing, and ban them for all other Games.

Imo this would be the sensible option.

Is it?

IIRC they've only been using them at football grounds since they were awarded the WC. If FIFA are taking this line for all world cups in future i expect to see onlyscantily clad females gyrating to samba music through Brazil 2014 and; should england get it the crowd to consist of blacked out cars playing drum and bass at full blast whilst the drivers are shagging their underage girlfriends over the bonnet whilst swilling a bottle of blue WKD.

Get mat on the bid team FFS!!!<br /><br />-- Sat Jun 12, 2010 3:02 pm --<br /><br />

They won't be at every match.

Just the one's that South Africa are playing in, which won't be for much longer.

Hindsights a woman

This will be one of the world cup fads - pretty much guarantee they'll be at the premiership next year

I feel sorry for the bloke who takes one to a game. He's likely going to get it shoved up his arse. Can't see it ever taking off apart from those socially challenged imbeciles at Ewood and fratton park.<br /><br />-- Sat Jun 12, 2010 11:29 am --<br /><br />Had to turn on the mute for periods of time it was doing my head in. Like someone said earlier Fifa should've compromised and allowed them at games involving SA only.

Without doubt the worst thing about this World cup,can't hear the chants/banter between the fans,which for me is a big part of the game.
Sorry but they are spoiling this tournament big style.

Spot on there mate. I turned the commentary off for the last 20 mins of each half and it was much better. Which is a crying shame.

I love Public Enemy but I don't want to listen to "Night of the living bassheads" while I'm watching the match. Shove them vuvuzelas up your arse.

The crowd are not going to be there as 12th man thats for sure. In fact you could get rid of the crowd and just play that incessant noise through the speakers to get the same effect. This is not football as I know it but have to respect that it how they do things in SA just pray that these things are banned from our game when it is all over.

I think that everyone blowing these horns is mentally challenged. I could see it if they were using them to make tunes, or making a rythmn, or blowing them to celebrate a goal. But this is like the orchestra of the imbeciles.

What's next, 60,000 people blowing airhorns for 90 minutes?

 

[Grimble]

stupid pricks are making this world cup close to unwatchable, how the fuck anyone can get any pleasure or fun of out making that noise for 90 mins deserves to have their horn coverered in aids.
