samjohnson Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 Just wondering where you stand on the vuvuzela... For those of you who havent got a clue, click here
Ozwin Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 Most annoying thing ever. I just hope the England fans drown them out when we play.
Narborough_fox Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 Love them, the really annoying one is the baby one.
Tilley Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 So pointless and annoying, like a fucking swarm of wasps or something. They get to me alot more than they should.
Unabomber Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 So pointless and annoying, like a fucking swarm of wasps or something. They get to me alot more than they should. Yeah this. They are going to drown out all of the other fans songs etc. I think they are going to be seriously grating throughout the tournament.
Bugg Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 I Didn't mind them at first. But now, they piss me off so much. A fooking glorified cardboard tube that sounds like a dying elephant sounds shit. Fans singing sounds much better than the vuvuzela.
davieG Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 They're great as a replacement for booing because they sound like your and the name sounds like a medical complaint.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 Just wondering where you stand on the vuvuzela... As far away as possible - but you'd still hear it then The worrying thing is I can see one or two making their way over to this fair isle and invading our matches. No thankyou.
Edmund Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 Personally I find them annoying but wouldn't be as stupid to say that they should be banned. It's part of the South African football culture. It's the whole reason why we have WORLD cups in different countries, so we can embrace the culture. Platini/Blatter got it spot on for once. What do you want next pukka pies sold at half time instead of billtong? Having said that, at the confederations they were so annoying to the extent I had to mute my tv during most of the games, but I doubt it'll be as bad in the world cup, as the fans who attended the confederations games were predominately locals.
Ozwin Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 I remember going to an U21 game at the Walkers and about 5 people had air horn things, it drove me ****ing mental. I don't know how I'd cope at a WC game.
Tommeh Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 If these things are part of the African culture then embrace it, it's what the World Cup is for. Although saying this I havn't watched a match with them dominating yet so may change my mind. Idiots with airhorn's down Leicester now they should be banned and blowers shot, especially away.
Floating Fox Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 Tom, you will change your mind. I mean true, you cant't really ban them, as it's culture. Or something. But anyway, the completly ruin the football game!
Fox You Forest Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 I can't stand them, annoying as fook. I reckon the more matches you watch the less you'll notice them.
MC Prussian Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 How can that crap generate atmosphere? You want to watch a football match on telly and all you hear is bloody noise. Bad, real bad. I hope they all get confiscated for being laboured by child slaves in Ethiopia.
dandannieldanok Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 Annoying but banning them would be far too draconian.
Wycombe Fox Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 I can't stand the noise of them. I watched the live stream of England's friendly this afternoon and even with a crowd of only about 12000 it's LOUD! Not everybody was blowing vuvuzelas but the sound was still very annoying. There's no HT break either. There must be a way of lessening the sound of them by adjusting the frequency bands on the TV (if it's got a graphic equaliser or something) I don't want to mute the TV but I've got a feeling I might have to.
Edmund Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 It wont be that bad once the wc kicks off bar the South Africa games. The stadiums will have more of the nations fans inside than locals.
The Doctor Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 who cares? Stick your tv on mute since ITV commentary is rubbish and the beeb aren't that much better. You want commentary/puditry then put on talksport or a similar radio station.

You want commentary/puditry then put on talksport or a similar radio station. Talksport is the ITV of the radiowaves, commercial crap plagued by idiots. And anyway, if you want something during the match then listening to the radio isn't going to help, I presume talksport and 5live are going to be actually present at the games too (not actually got a clue though).

Guest Bilo Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 They sound utterly vile but they're part of the culture for some reason. Hopefully the singers will drown them out.
purpleronnie Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 Cant wait for god save the queen to be sang over and over and over. Or USA, USA, USA. Think I prefer the Vuvuzela's
lildave3 Posted 7 June 2010 Posted 7 June 2010 Cant wait for god save the queen to be sang over and over and over. Or USA, USA, USA. Think I prefer the Vuvuzela's I quite liked the USA fans when I watched their friendly with Turkey.
