Guest Bilo Posted 11 July 2010 Posted 11 July 2010 Undoubtedly the most annoying thing I've ever heard since a retarded midget from Leeds came into my place of work and had a pop, but it's funny as shit.
Guest Bilo Posted 11 July 2010 Posted 11 July 2010 When I got in last night I'd had an utterly cack day, and my definition of what's funny does become quite broad I have to admit.
Alexikokopops Posted 12 July 2010 Posted 12 July 2010 What's this I spy about 12 seconds in...? Top ten goals from the 2002 World Cup
Guest ttfn Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 As I've said before, there's more than something a little bit dodgy about the authenticity of the vuvuzela as part of South African football culture
fatmando Posted 13 July 2010 Posted 13 July 2010 Couple of nob jockys had these at my local game tonight - non-league Kings Lynn Town vs a Norwich City XI. Quite funny when they put the keeper off taking a goal kick however.
ScouseFox Posted 20 July 2010 Posted 20 July 2010 Banned. Ipswich, Cardiff, Leicester and Southampton have also outlawed the controversial horns.
Narborough_fox Posted 20 July 2010 Posted 20 July 2010 West Ham, Arsenal, Tottenham and another PL team has banned them. Blackpool have ENCOURAGED the Vuvuzelas.
Wymsey Posted 20 July 2010 Posted 20 July 2010 Well i feel i am the only person for vuvu's at the Walker's as that drummer is crap with his object and the atmosphere is as quiet as my local library.
ousefox Posted 20 July 2010 Posted 20 July 2010 Well i feel i am the only person for vuvu's at the Walker's as that drummer is crap with his object and the atmosphere is as quiet as my local library. Sou you would rather have your ears harmed and be annoyed to death all match? If 100 or more poeple were allowed in the Walkers with vuvuzelas i don't think i'd go to many games at all.
Narborough_fox Posted 20 July 2010 Posted 20 July 2010 Well i feel i am the only person for vuvu's at the Walker's as that drummer is crap with his object and the atmosphere is as quiet as my local library. That's what Fosse Boys is about.
Fosse Boy Posted 20 July 2010 Posted 20 July 2010 West Ham, Arsenal, Tottenham and another PL team has banned them. Blackpool have ENCOURAGED the Vuvuzelas. No alarms and no surprises there. Actually I'd probably prefer the sound of an alarm for 90 minutes. Well i feel i am the only person for vuvu's at the Walker's as that drummer is crap with his object and the atmosphere is as quiet as my local library. So raise your voice and do summat about it. Allowing idiots to disabled their way through a game with a crap plastic horn isn't going to make things any better.
Narborough_fox Posted 20 July 2010 Posted 20 July 2010 No alarms and no surprises there. Actually I'd probably prefer the sound of an alarm for 90 minutes. I've had one going off for 25 minutes now, it's starting to pee me off. I'd hate that more that a Vuvuzela.
Finnegan Posted 24 July 2010 Posted 24 July 2010 Vuvuzelas are infinitely more fun in a Hong Kong bar blowing it while the locals struggle to get anything more than the occasional fart sound out of it.
AyewJoking Posted 24 July 2010 Posted 24 July 2010 It wont catch on in English football. Maybe for one or two games at the clubs that will allow it. It will all blow over.
MC Prussian Posted 3 September 2010 Posted 3 September 2010 Rejoice and applaud the Football League for once! Premier League and Football League clubs ban vuvuzelas A growing number of Premier League clubs are following Tottenham's lead and banning vuvuzelas from their grounds on match days this season. Arsenal, Birmingham, Everton, Fulham and West Ham are the latest teams to have stated the plastic horns will not be allowed inside stadia. Some Football League clubs have also banned the horns, which were popular at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Spurs made their decision after talks with police and local authorities. The Londoners reacted upon suggestions the noise could pose risks to public safety, while Arsenal stated they wanted to "ensure the enjoyment and safety" of fans. A Spurs statement on the club's official website. read: "We are concerned that the presence of the instruments within the stadium pose unnecessary risks and could impact on the ability of all supporters to hear any emergency safety announcements. The Premier League has refused to implement a widespread ban, stating that "such matters are dealt with at club level". Birmingham City said they took into account the views of fans and their safety advisory committee. "An overwhelming majority of Blues supporters said they didn't want vuvuzelas to be allowed at St Andrews," said the club on theirofficial website. A West Ham club statement said: "Under the current health and safety regulations at the stadium, which already disallows musical bands, we would not allow them (vuvuzelas) into the stadium as they could be considered a weapon and could also be considered to be an annoyance to others. "The health and safety regulation that all of this comes under is already in place. "The club wish at all times to ensure that all supporters are allowed to enjoy the game they are watching and prides itself on the passionate, loud and robust support from our fans at all matches at Upton Park." An Everton statement read: "It isn't a case of us being killjoys it is simply a measure which is designed to safeguard our reputation with the game's governing bodies. We have, in the past, had problems with people throwing objects onto the pitch and the Football Association has made it perfectly clear that we do face the possibility of sanctions should there be any repeat offence. "In the wake of the World Cup in South Africa we have received many emails from our supporters asking that we ban vuvuzelas on the grounds that they are simply irritating - but none urging us to permit their use at first-team fixtures. " Top-flight newcomers Blackpool, meanwhile, have yet to make a decision on whether vuvuzelas would be welcomed at their Bloomfield Road ground. "We are keen to ensure the atmosphere created by our fans is better than ever before, but this does not necessarily mean vuvuzelas will be permitted," said a club spokesman. "We haven't really given any full consideration to vuvuzelas at the moment - we've had plenty of other things occupying the mind, with a debut season in the Premier League to prepare for. "Any decision will be taken in due course and in consultation with relevant supporter groups." Following their widespread use during the World Cup in South Africa, retailers across Britain have being selling vuvuzelas in anticipation of their popularity. However, the horns have been heavily criticised by players and fans alike with many suggesting they are tuneless and block out singing and chanting. The All England Club banned the instrument from this summer's Wimbledon, amidst fears that they could spoil the event. Similarly, a spokesman for Henley Royal Regatta stated that vuvuzelas were on a list of items which would not be allowed within the enclosures or the boat tent area. The England and Wales Cricket Board has said that each Test venue would be able to decide its policy on which items could be admitted. http://news.bbc.co.u...rem/8836166.stm
