I'd love to shove their bloody trombones where the sun don't shine. Much prefer the sound of the vuvuzelas than those annoying *****.

My son said "Daddy, what is that buzzing noise? It sounds like bees are watching the football."

At least the other intruments have a different note and can make a tune instead of this crap.

These things are driving me mad :mad2: STFU.

Didn't FIFA say that they would be banned if one was chucked onto the piitch.

Let's hope someone does pretty soon.
 

Vuvuzelas

Someone needs to track down Danny Jordaan's email address and let him know bluntly that the vuvezelas are completely destroying the game.
 

Vuvuzelas

Miss the atmosphere of singing etc. A Brazil game won't seem like normal.

Interestingly, on the Africa Service of the BBC World Service radio this morning they had a black South African football historian who said the following:

- it's a myth that the vuvuzela is part of South African football culture. They only appeared there 10 years ago and this can be proved if anybody watches any old footage of SA football league games.

- the vuvuzela has destroyed South African football culture which used to be all about massed singing (like everywhere else in the world, except Fulham of course).

- the vuvuzela is ruining this World Cup 'cos there is no atmosphere - just a bloody racket for 90 mins.

- vuvuzela's are banned from SA rugby and cricket venues. He said the same should be done for football.

Danny Jordaan was also on the programme. He said that they would ban the vuvuzela if the demand was there.

.............good stuff..................a ban is on the way then................

Anyone remember the South Koreans mass singing in 2002 ? They were awesome!

Suprisingly I was less annoyed by the Vuvuzelas than I expected to be. Having said that I hope they ban them.

I recently met a Tuareg camel herder in southern Niger who was outraged at Fulham's lack of support. He reckoned if the Tuaregs were playing Spurs away they'd take more than Fulham did, even though it would involve a trans-Saharan trek plus illegal entry into the UK in the back of a Hungarian lorry.

One of the guests at Wombles BBQ, filled one of these horn things up with lager and downed the lot in secondslol

Yeh, Sepp Blatter said they are ok as they represent the South african sound. What the F..k does he know? I have always hated that scumbag anyway. They have only been in SA footie grounds for 9 or 10 years and have destroyed all the singing. Plus of course they are banned in SA Cricket and Rugby grounds for obvious reasons. The other dickhead you can email is Peter Scrivener of BBC sport who "is all for them". Tossers the pair of them. I've really had enough of the droning now, it's a complete nightmare every game.
 

Vuvuzelas

The England band was sanctioned by the FA to lead the singing in an effort to get away from racist and abusive chanting at matches.
The vuvuzela is doing a similar job in SA.

I agree. Each match appears merged into one with no national expression of support for individual countries.
I just find it boring.
I could understand it if only used at SA matches.
At least they stop for the anthems.

no singing at all last night at the italy match. no italy end either it appeared! hope the Vuuvuvs get banned or this world cup will be remembered as the world cup with the silly buzzing noise. saffas should be banned from matches. i ain't giving money to comic releif again if they spend it all on plastic trumpets!! they do shut up for the anthems to be fair but still ridiclous. glad u saw bees flag last night. miss you. beer and smoking allowed in the grounds. :3rdworldisthefuture: x

You've been lucky, so far the games bar West Germany vs Australia, and for a short period Argies vs Nigeria have been truly awful. The vuvuzelas cannot be blamed for negative tactics and poor passing and shooting!
 

Vuvuzelas

I was going to start a new thread entitled, "is this the worst world cup ever"?
But i decided as my reputation for being a miserable victor meldrew is growing by the hour i would just say it here.

The vu vu things are so frickin annoying, no singing, no crowd reaction, no communication between players, it is just down right tedious.

For the first time in my life I have not watched every single game in a world cup, I have missed at least 3.

The ball is atrocious. Not one free kick on target yet, every shot from the edge of the area does not come down and just keeps rising. Barely one decent cross or corner in the tournament so far.

I am not sure we have gone back to the negative ways of avoiding defeat but we are 40% down on goals from 4 years ago. I honestly think players are scared of giving the ball away if they pass it more than 10 yards so they just wind up going nowhere.

What a total cock up.

Apparantly the germans have been using the new ball in the bundisliga for several months so no wonder they are are the only team to look any good, we didnt use it because there were commercial agreements in place ... ker ching $$$$$$$. Not even in the warm up games.

i agree! does that make me Meldrew jr?
 

Vuvuzelas

I agree too. It doesn't help that the first game of the day starts at 4:00 am here on the West Coast (so I always miss it) and I have to get up at 6:30 to watch the second. My eyes are practically glued shut from tiredness the whole time. FIFA and Blatter - both the absolute worst when it comes to selling out to corporate money and constantly screwing around with the rules just for the sake of it - have a lot to answer for. FIFA out!! :mad1:

Those vuvuzelas are even worse than those wretched noise-makers used by Angels fans during the baseball world series.

Vuvuzelas at Brentford

.. or however you spell it.

Let's get these things banned from GP. It's bad enough on TV, but I'm sure there will be enough idiots or away fans (to name but one category;)) who will think it's a good idea to bring them in at the start of next season to give us all a headache.

Opinions?

its like f**king torture, you can't even hear cheering when a goal goes in let alone singing during the matches. i can't remember what a normal match sounds like. really awful.

i hear french tv have some technology to get rid of them and keep other crowd noises. has this happened at home?

Seems to me that most people there aren't even watching the game.

that is true of the south africans mate. they think a a good atmosphere is acting like ten year olds (blowing horns, mexican waves etc), & loads of tickets went to the locals.

algeria were setting off fireworks in the ground last night. great stuff. animals!! was that on tele?

Vuvuzelas
