What a shit idea they are,it,s like watching a game with a 90 min traffic jam full of pissed off roadragers.No match has had an atmosphere even if that shity lover jonathan pearce thinks it,s terrific. >:(

they are a right fucking pain in the arse

And believe it or not you can buy them in lidl's and it's unthikable that someone might think it's a good idea to take it to the CG this season coming.

if anyone turns up with one of those next season i,ll be taking up football violence.

I thought the horns were fine. I expected them to piss me off, but they create a fantastic atmosphere. I might've needed the nurofen if I was actually at the game, but give me that over our pathetic effort at Wembley any day.

Can we order some for next season at the CG? 
 
 
 
 
 

You just know that right now somewhere in Johannesburg, there's a Bafana fan raging on an internet messageboard about "fucking plastic day-trippers ruining the atmosphere"

Yeah it would be much better if everyone sits there in virtual silence for 90 mins, a bit like 20,000 people did at Wembley a couple of weeks ago ;)

i fucking hope england arent playing in white

I wonder if we will actually here the england fans later,or even the usa soccer fans?.

Today is the first chance really to hear any fans i would think. The teams who have played so far are not really known for the magnificent atmosphere they create are they.

Hope we got a drum there to piss them off.

 To a man and woman the Argies always generate noise, but they were obscured out of view by those fucking horns.

I'm assuming that the England band will be there to piss them off

Bad idea to have the wc in a place where the only enjoyment is blowing a horn for 90 mins.Thialand will be next on the list. :headhurts:

Its better than polite applause and cries of "jolly well played both teams"

.....or can you sit down please.

Fucking hate them, make each game sound like an schoolboy international. Making it extremely hard to get into this tournament.

quite

still a fucking annoying drone ,even the england brass band and fans weren,t to be heard.

If we get the 2018 WC, we should ban ALL musical instruments from the stadium.

Given it'll be being run by the same bunch of cunts who think MK is a suitable venue, they'll probably make them compulsory

It's what they do in South Africa.  It's the South African World Cup.  We should adjust and enjoy it.  But no, we just moan.

"Oh no, it's different from what I'm used to - how will I cope?"

If you don't like it, turn the volume down.  Otherwise, go with it. 

And for that reason they are great. Only heard those tuneless fucking dimwits once thank god.

some little cunt in my street has one of them fucking things.

I hate you beyond words.

Shame, I quite like you.  I thought we could have something.  It'll take me a while, but I think I'll get over you.

Seriously, do they annoy people that much?  I've got used to them already - if you can't watch a football match without full concentration on the commentary, are you not focusing on the wrong thing?  As long as you can see what's going on on the pitch, you are watching the match.

Oh that's OK then if that's what they do there.

I'll just be self righteous and forget that they get on my tits.

We'd better alert A&E and get an 'extraction' surgeon on standy.

Now you've got it.  Well done.

I think they have ruined this world cup. I like to hear the fans aswell as enjoy watching the football and those horns are just tuneless let alone annoying,give me a drum over them fucking things any day of the week and i hate drums too.

What i dont understand is why the south africans think they are so fucking great or is it they are just easily amused,I bet those yanks were blowing them last night too.

Article on the BBC website says the organisers are considering a ban following complaints from broadcasters and players.

I find it easy to tune out from them, however I can see the annoyance.  I don't really understand who goes to a game not to watch it but to blow a fucking horn for 90 minutes.  

Also 2 notes rather than 1 droning on all game may be a little more entertaining.

The only legitimate use of vuvuzela is to beat the vuvuzelas blower to death.

and here it is....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8737455.stm

This

So that was why.

Yawn. Moaning for the sake of moaning. I barely even notice them. Have you ever watched football from abroad before? This is hardly new. Embrace another culture.

Although, if just one gets thrown on the pitch, there'll be a complete ban for the rest of the tournament....

how many times did we hear england fans singing? not much was it?
those fucking horns drowned everything out

This quote would suggest that you are talking bollocks.


Culture my ass.

I heard Rule Brittannia enough times last night. Wah. Wah. Wah.

Damn right BR - they are blowing them all game, every game, just to annoy you.  They don't like you, you see, and wish to ruin your World Cup.

Just turn the fucking volume down if you don't like them.  Alternatively, stop fucking whinging.

No

really? i didn't.

Dont they know how stupid they look?

Plastic horns are something you give to 5 year olds to amuse them at Birthday parties.

Lowest form of atmosphere bar none. As a football culture, the lowest of the low!

Well I did, because I was singing: Daaaany Wilson, we're proud to sing your name.... every time.

If anyone brings one of these to the CG there will be violence.

Oh well played on the culture card. They're fucking annoying, I don't care if it's part of another culture or not.

I accept that the vuvuzela is part of South African culture and therefore part of this world cup, but they are relentless and drown out any crowd noise. It wouldn't be so bad if it was only the South African fans using them at their matches, but everyone has them at every match.

They aren't spoiling the games for me, but I do think the atmosphere would be better if they weren't there, I like to be able to hear the fans singing.

They are no-where near as loud as when South Africa played. It's nowhere near as bad as is being made out. You bunch of moany old cunts.

Do they have them at South African rugby matches too? Can't say i've noticed before?

I agree that they were much louder for the SA game, but even in the game now with the stadium only half full, it's all you can really hear and they don't stop.

Like I said, it's not spoiling it for me and I wouldn't call for them to be banned, but I can understand why people don't like them.

Embrace the culture? Surely they are just plastic pieces of tat you can buy anywhere in the world??

Does anyone know where I can buy one?

They are actually S. American I believe, they didn't even reach S. Africa until the 90's.

Deeply ingrained into the psyche of the S. African people and woven tightly into the very fabric of African culture though, of course.

Didn't they have some in Shaka Zulu?

Football culture.

I suppose really I shouldn't be surprised that Swindonians don't like something. This is the most miserable place, full of the most miserable fucking people - even if they have fecked off elsewhere. Pure. Fucking. Misery.

I see you can buy them with a flag attached

Haha. More miserable than North Korea?

Some bloke brought one to Bushwhackers for last nights game. Only heard him blow it twice before the game started then nothing to be heard. I suspect he was in the bog the rest of the game trying to remove it from his arse !

It's not that I want to see red and white Swindon ones. Don't want them at The County Ground. But when I see the pics of the Africans in their mental colourful hats and glasses, bouncing about like nutters... at least they're having fun. If there were no vuvuzelas you cunts would be moaning that the singing isn't loud enough. Oh there are too many neutrals in there, the singings shit, this world cup is shit. Wah. Wah. Wah.

England fans singing rule britannia or the national anthem during the game makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up,not some silly cunts blowing horns.

As for culture the Zulus will be turning in their graves.

Why don't you want them at the county ground then?

Because it's not part of our fan culture. It is over there. All the moaning is just so bloody tedious.

and we thought 1 min of the millwall din was boring. :zzz:

Not unlike the noise made by the vuvuzela !

Sod it, I'm getting one. See you all in The Town End.

Should have all had them at Wembley. They would have made a lot more fucking noise than the 20'000 or so "plastic" town fans present that day.

But then as well as moaning about people swearing / standing up / drunk / singing / shouting / not being able to see, they would have been fucking bleating about being to noisy as well!

We should have all had one and then when the "plastic" next to you started moaning, you could have shoved it straight up his arse / down his fucking throat.

What an absolute load of shit.

Why? What be the point in having them at ours? No-one wants them. But they all have them in South Africa. Not hard to figure out is it.

Your argument is based on the fact they are part of a 'football fan culture' rather than the fact they sound good or bad.

It'd be like saying castration was fine just because it is part of tribe culture.

Just because something happens it doesn't mean we have to accept it.

I wonder how many S. African fans hate the fooking things as well.

I don't even think it sounds that bad to be honest. I manage to phase it out when I concentrate on the FOOTBALL.

But it's hard to concentrate on the FOOTBALL when there's a very loud ANNOYING NOISE.

..No, it's not.

...Yes, it is.

You're the only one that seems to be sticking up for them (apart from Billy Shears, but he's a cunt and is obviously just going against the popular opinion for "comedic affect").

Frankly I find ITV's shit commentary and punditry team far more distracting that the horns.

Ah well. I guess you'll just have to hope they get banned then. I just don't have a problem with them, the noise they make, the affect it has on the precious commentators. If more players come out and complain about them then fair enough. But their concerns seem to be with the ball.

I think that b3nny is being an argumentative twat for the sake of it.

the constant drone is probably the reason the top supported side in south africa , kieser chiefs only average 21000.

Well, work is going quite slowly. I must admit. But I genuinely don't find them annoying.

I'm baffled as to why people can't accept that some people don't find them annoying. Is this a place where an alternative viewpoint won't be tolerated? Well you can fuck that right off. Personally I don't get why there's such a fuss about them - but I respect that many people are annoyed by them. I just phase them out and concentrate on the game & the commentary (oh, and the close-ups of the totty in the crowd).

Very happy that I'm not so easily irritated.

i dont think it has anything to do with not accepting an opposite view point.(on other topics over the years i think that has definately been the case)

benny just keeps on and on about it.

Thank you all for helping pass what has been an utterly dull afternoon at work. Same time tomorrow? Goodnight, god bless, much love.

I've sort of got used to the noise now  ???

I might buy one (maybe the South Oxon Reds could get a few going at the back of the DRS next season?)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh great, these bloody things already seem to have robbed the world cup grounds of atmosphere, anyone actually heard a decent chant or song yet? Not even the England fans. All we can hear is this bloody sound, why aren't people at the ground watching the football? Yes, i know, moan, groan, miserable old sod etc etc, but, it is the world cup and the only thing that is, so far worse than the bloody Vuvuzela's (forget Rob greens error for a second) has been the total lack of enthusiasm from any of the TV commentators.

Ban the Vuvuzela, lets hear the fans sining, the korean drums and, even, God help me, the England band.

Phew, not a bad rant for a Sunday morning 

Oh I accept that there are some people who they don't annoy. They're the ones suggesting we embrace the 'culture' though, so of course they're going to get a bit of stick

Yup fair enough arriba/si pie - I just thought he was getting a lot of stick just because he felt differently to the majority, but I suppose he was also firing from both barrels.

The thought of having a blast on one in the Arkells next season (the section above the prawn-sandwich block that stinks of piss) makes me smile - that'd wake a few of the miserable old fuckers up..........or finish some of them off possibly.

That is a great point

The replays baffles as well. Who exctly wants to see a throw-in in super slow motion?!

I haven't caught much of it as I try my best to miss it. But from what I've seen so far it seems pretty much the same as MOTD2 which is typical of ITV - totally devoid of originality, just nick a presenter and copy the format.

I'll have to take your word for that (though not surprised), my tv's virtually on mute because of the fucking horns. Even with messing about with the various settings on my AV Receiver and I can't filter out the fucking things.

They are currently cumming in their pants about the germans.  They just cant fucking shut up for more than 3 seconds without having to throw in some pointless little snippet of information.

I wish they'd turn the bloody horns up.

Yep, that's me.  I really, really hate the noise, but said I don't mind it to annoy you, Samdy.  I really hate you, you see.

Or - I don't see what the fuss is about. 

The feeling's mutual x x x

I'm really not bothered either way about the horns.

Mainly because I haven't watched a single match yet  :D

I have to ask TT - do you actually like football?

I love my team. Just meh about everything else. Premiership, England blah blah blah.

Despite what the tabs would have you believe, the World Cup is not exclusively about England or even the Premiership. England aside (I'm increasingly with you on that), it's a bloody great tournament and I don't understand how any football fan could not want to watch as much of it as they could.

[disclaimer]This is solely my opinion, I don't claim it has any validity outside of my own ears and I am in no way seeking to disparage anyone else's chosen method of watching/enjoying football and/or blowing big plastic trumpets[/disclaimer]

Due to work I am going to miss my first game of the tournament tomorrow, and what a cracker it could be Holland v Denmark.

Agreed.  It's football - from across the world.  I don't see how any football fan wouldn't be fascinated.  If I could watch every single match, not missing a minute, I would.  In fact, four years ago I did exactly that.  Unfortunately, I'm now a grown up, and will be working through many of the games.  I cannot imagine choosing to not watch a game though.

Paul, that assumes that all 'football fans' are absolute. As in if you drive past a park where a bunch of 10 year olds are playing with jumpers for goals you will pull over and watch.

Why does being a 'fan' make you an extremist who must watch football at every opportunity? That's like saying that because I like Indian food, I had also better like Chinese, Italian, Spanish etc. Or if I am passionate about my old British motorbike then I should cream my boxers over every new exotic piece of metal dreamed up by Ducati.

Nope. I am a fan of Swindon Town. It stops there. I'm happy with it. Ok?

I never used to watch much of the tournaments, just the England games. Can't get enough of it now though, watching every minute of every game I can and all the other coverage on BBC. Keeping strictly to the 90 minutes with ITV games on account of their coverage being shit and that cunt Corden.

I can see where Talk Talk is coming from, even if I don't feel the same myself. His interest lies in watching Swindon Town. He's not into football as a generalised whole, but enjoys being a fan (and thus a part) of a specific club, namely STFC.

Absolutely fine. Which is why I put in the disclaimer bit saying that was just how I felt and should be taken as having no more validity than that. I find your attitude puzzling tbh but no more so than I do people who don't like football. I don't understand them, they don't understand me, doesn't make either one "right" or "wrong". Vive la difference and all that.

I don't really get realise what the fuss is about, although 'vuvuzela' does sounds like slang for an STI.

Can the broadcasters block out the sound of the vuvuzuelas and just have the commentary going? I suppose the media have a massive centre at all these stadiums and BBC/ITV teams have got seats reserved and so they wouldn't be prepared to do this.

I'm turning the sound down at the moment.

I'm loving the South African and Ghanaian dancing after they score their goals at the moment!

I think anyone who moans about them are completely selfish. It's the SA world cup, and that's how they create an atmosphere. It's something different and although not everyone likes it, it's their choice. I say let them be.

Yes, the WC is in South Africa, but it's not just about them, but also the other 31 nations competing. The WC is all about hearing and experiencing contrasting cultures and sounds at different matches. At the moment all we can hear is horns and nothing else even when South Africa is not playing.

Compromise needed.  These things should be banned for the first 15 mins of each game across the board.  Anyone blowing one would be ejected immediately.

And then, 15 minutes in, if the atmosphere feels like it did at Wembley two weeks ago...bring out the fog horns and let rip.

Have you heard any fan's at the actual games moaning? I havn't,this is the biggest sporting event the country has ever had and they are making the most of it.

The fact is from the pictures i have seen on TV it's not just the south africans who have them anyway all the supporters seem to be using them.

I normally watch all of the World Cup. Cant watch it with those horns. Sounds like a bees nest has been hit by some chav with a stick. Cant watch it in Silence. IMO make them ok for South Africa's games but no ones elses. I know many people who cannot watch the world cup due to those things

haha, you all sounds like old grannies moaning over a cup of tea.

THey are fucking annoying  :nod:

I saw you yesterday DRS buying one from sainsburys...

Can't believe Si Pie won't embrace their culture.

They're moaning about them on This Morning now! Apparently people have started selling earplugs outside the grounds.

(Why I'm watching This Morning is a whole different issue)

I was getting one to blow in the back of Taxis. To be honest this lot on here(not you sippo) just enjoy moaning about everything.

The Pundits
The Horns
The Commentators

Put it on fucking silent then it isn't hard.

Ok then, so if we get the 2018 WC we can start flinging patio chairs about because it's the English WC and that's what we do?

What a stupid pathetic excuse. 

Yeh. And whenever Spain host it we should ignore the racist chanting, it's part of their football culture.

I'm kind of immune to the noise now, just kind of got used to it. Would rather listen to them than 90 minutes of Clive Tildsley (I know its not spelt like that)

Grow up. It's about the atmosphere not the violence. If we did get the world cup, and fans starting chanting inexplicit language would people complain then?

Like DRS said, most are looking for a reason/excuse just to complain. It's the wc, and embrace the different culture!

lololol I see wot u dun der. If you're all too stupid to tune out a sound whilst watching football that's your own problems. I however, have been loving this world cup. I've watched every game and despite some of them being a bit poo, I have no complaints at all.

1. I don't think Samdy was being all that serious
2. As has been pointed out numerous times in this thread already, it's not 'culture', it's a recent fad

The vuvuzela app is the number 1 free iphone app at the moment.

As in culture, I meant atmosphere.

How is it a recent fad? It's happened in 1 World Cup and will not be replicated over here. People just want it to be what it's like over here. People at the games are not moaning are they because they are enjoying themselves.

How do you know people at the games aren't complaining about it? I bet they are.

They're sooo annoying :L

b3nny - are you having a quiet day again? Your job seems fucking easy - I might have a word in your boss's ear.

BTW the England fans wouldn't have been that loud on Saturday anyway - look at the shit stadium they played in, the worst one of the lot by far;

[url width=500 height=360]http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx179/onefinfitton/worldcup-royal-bafokeng-stadium20ru.jpg[/url]

Maybe they'll have more joy under this glass roof in Cape Town on Friday (where Italy play tonight also);


[url width=576 height=324]http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx179/onefinfitton/green20point.jpg[/url]

They probably are, no-one can hear them.

Reasonably quiet, yes. I wouldn't say easy, nor that difficult, just, sort of... gives me too many windows to be a bit bored and come back here.

The Vuzuzela's are only really annoying when the games are dull.

Only ribbing you. Sounds good to me!

I've got mixed feelings about it.

It's good too see some interest in the instrument. I myself have grade 5 vuvuzela, and it really is wonderful sounding when played right. I don't like to see people judging the instrument so harshly when they've only heard some amateur tooting.

Textbook satire Ben :)

I don't think people are complaining because the noise is different, more that it's bloody tedious and annoying.

Drums are part of our football culture, yet most of us complain about the noise they make too - because they're monotonous and annoying not because they are different to what we're used to.

But yeah, if the people that don't mind them want to make up arguments about not accepting a different atmosphere then let them.

I'm still going to watch as many games as I can with or without the vuvuzelas, because whilst I find them irritating I'm watching the world cup primarily to see the football*


*any totty in the crowd is a plus point.

Ha, well.. you've found a chink in my armour... It's alright, I kinda expected more of myself and the lack of mental stimulation has created great anger and resentment towards this place over the years. The job is ok, I just hate the building and management.

It belongs at football games, in South Africa...

Which nobody has really ever disputed. Some of us just want to express our disdain at the awful noise they create. Moaning is part of the British culture after all.

[url width=460 height=252]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sGDypK5k_cg/TBYJkhAgcmI/AAAAAAAAAE4/V3GmYF-x7sU/s1600/vuvuout.jpg[/url]

Racist.

haaa

So far from what I've seen, which tbf isn't that many games, the totty count has been poor, like much of the football.

The ubiquitous vuvuzela sems to make it difficult for fans to establish an identity....like today where were the Dutch bands....admittedly only saw highlights.

Earlier, were there any Loony Roon witch doctors?  Japs chanting in slightly alarming serried ranks. etc etc zzzzzzz

We won't be experiencing the Brazilian Samba this year either.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

25 degrees there yesterday wasnt it?

Which means nothing. It's even annoying the players and officials. Tbh they need to be banned.

Van Persie could have been sent off today for kicking the ball away, and he arguably got away with it because of his claims that he didn't hear the ref's whistle when he kicked the ball away because of the vuvuzelas.

Ok, so he got away with it because the ref bottled it, but the argument shouldn't even be there. If players are allowed to claim they can't hear the ref's whistle over the vuvuzelas then they shouldn't be there.

they are really pissing me off, i have yet to hear one insightful wanker wanker wanker directed at a player.

I'm over it now. Sure it's annoying but I'm drowning it out now. Either that or I'm going deaf...

I blame all you bleedin heart liberals, sending your two Quid every year.  Then the africans get their hands on the money and rush out and buy a plastic trumpet.

Maybe if the so called best players in the world started playing some decent football every cunt wouldn't be so bored and be blowing them the whole time.

Has there been a genuinly decent game yet? Some will say Germany last night but that wasn't a game was it,it was awful 

Well I quite enjoyed the game tonight actually DRS. Well the 2nd half at least. Was good to see a team finally go for it rather be too conservative. Fair play to Italy. Not normally like them to attack either. I agree with your are saying to an extent though. Some of the games have been dire at times.

First games are generally a bit cagey, so no surprises really. I think the games will open up during the second round games when teams know they have to get a result.

Yep, those teams that lost the first game will have to play for the win or they're out so should see some nice, open games.  Hopefully.

The stage is set for Rory Fallon and New Zealand to ignite the whole tournament tomorrow!

... Imagine that!

Overhead kick from a corner anyone?

they'll be lucky to get a corner,let alone score from one

To be honest, I'd say today is likely to be their only hope of getting any points at this world cup. On the other hand, Slovakia really do need to win this one so it will be tough.

Got my vuvuzela ready for next season. I've even painted STFC 4EVA down the side.

I think that should be "vulvuzela"

Thinking ahead to next season at the County Ground, we really need to nip this one in the bud.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jun/14/bbc-vuvuzela-free-world-cup

At the same time, fans in Britain have been snapping up the horns at the rate of one every two seconds and suppliers claimed the UK had been gripped by "vuvuzela fever".

"Vuvuzelas are here to stay and will never be banned," said Rich Mkhondo, a spokesman for the local World Cup organising committee. "People love the vuvuzelas around the world. Only a minority are against vuvuzelas."

The Premier League and the Football League said there was nothing in their rules to stop supporters bringing them to English grounds but the decision would rest with individual clubs.

"There is a good chance they will end up in our grounds because people will bring them back from the World Cup," said a Football League spokesman. "It is a matter for individual clubs, as is the case with drums and other musical instruments."

These could spread around English grounds like Japanese Knotweed.

I wouldn't worry too much. We've had those stupid horns for years and you barely ever get anybody taking one, except to play-off games and the like. I don't see vuvuzelas lasting long in England, if they appear at all.

I seen something about them in the England too , i hope not even in the play-offs

Prepare for Vuvuzela insertion then

I'll enjoy that more than you think.

The Vuvuzela Song - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sr3v0#p008cn4t

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Brilliant.

I think that you should fuck off.

I would like to apologise to redbullzeye. Was not in the best of moods last night. Stupid idiots voting wrong in the WCS didn't help.

Ha ha no offence taken Ben, I didn't read it until this morning and anyway it's not like I'm the sort of person to take petty retribution by deliberately voting against your teams in the Stunners World cup or anything.....

Wide end first?

Heard this on the wireless the other day.  It's terrific.  He's done another one previously called the World Cup song, I'm sure someone can find it on youtube.

Well the BBC have reacted by dubbing their own crowd effects over the Spain/Switzerland game this afternoon. I was suspicious for a bit but it became blatantly obvious when the Swiss scored, & after that I could just tell how unnatural it all was, ie no change of sound whatsoever when Alonso crashed his shot against the bar, & the same for other near misses.

For me this now means that what we are getting feels removed from what is happening - we are no longer getting the TRUE experience. There are options on the red button which I'll look at from now on. I appreciate that a lot of people would rather anything than the vuvuzelas, but all I want to come across to me is what is actually happening in the stadium - and that means sight AND sound.

The same appears to be happening during the South Africa match. You can hear the vuvuzelas but nowhere near the level heard previously, especially as it's SA playing.

They'll have just lowered the sound of the effects mikes wouldn;t they?

That's what i wondered, because i noticed this match is more easy to watch. Fuck the sound being authentic, vuvuzelas are hateful.

No bollocks to any of the fake shit. Give us what's actually happening or don't bother. If people are easily irritated then that's their fucking problem.

Its not fucking fake noise. Conspiracy theorists trying to be believed again.

No way the sound has been dubbed for this game. Mic levels have been adjusted as STFC dave said.

If you don't like what the tv channels are doing, go over there and see what's "actually happening"

5 Live Commentary has them muted. Can't hear them at all.

3-0 that should shut the fuckers up.

We can see you sneaking out !

eh?

The 5 live commentary has the background noise turned down during games. Couldn't hear the Vuvuzelas.

hahahaha, that's brilliant. So every thought/opinion = a conspiracy theory?? hahahahahaha


Cheeky little twat! I've been to quite a few tournaments over the last 20 years, so I've already had the pleasure thanks. How about I tell you what to do instead - if you don't like what the horns sound like turn your fucking volume down. Right, that's as far as I'm getting involved with this subject on here.

Would love to but I cant hear the commentary then you thick twat

There is now a vuvuzela app for the Iphone, if you cant beat em, become an annoying cunt yourself.

I'm with One F on this. People just like a good moan. If someone was banging a drum for 90 mins constantly people would moan at that. Silencing the 'atmosphere' doesn't feel like it's actually happening.

 :soapy tit wank:

Fitton wants em on the Stratton Bank.

Of course people would moan about a drum, because it's such a fucking annoying constant noise.

I do however think that due to drums being so common that I find them easier to tune out of. In fact I'm noticing the same with the trumpets.

Saying that: drums; horns; vuvuzelas. Any of these in the county ground week in week out would drive me insane.

hey guys,

check http://www.longestvuvuzela.com to see how well your nerves can stand the Vuvuzela. I lasted for 1 minute.

2m 15s, purely because it was a little respite from listening to the baby crying all the time

I got the iphone app to annoy everyone with.

Brrrrrrrrr

And a wise decision too.

As Barry said...

Again, I think you've missed the point TT. You're confusing the World Cup with England (much like the national press). I usually enjoy the World Cup despite England, not because of them

Fair enough Paul. But just like being disinterested because I have no connection to a team in the premiership, I don't watch it.

nice to hear a bit of singing in todays game.

I heard the vuvuzelas at one point during the game and it reminded me of "Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll". For that reason, I hate them.

Before you blow your vuvuzela ...

 ...perhaps you should check ...

... where they come from!

This made I laugh, initially 15 seconds in and then nearer the end

There's even a bastard vuvuzela button on youtube now.
