How would you feel about people 'playing' vuvuzelas at SMS next year. They haven't been banned by most clubs yet, with BBC reporting that Dortmund are one of the few clubs in Europe to ban them. Do you think it would create more atmosphere or just be a pain in the arse?

 

Personally I'd say no, they get on my tits.

Stick them right up

ruins the atmosphere at games, world cup games used to show the individual countries level of support, this one every game is the same

They sound great, really add to the atmosphere, brilliant. Bring 'em on!!!!

 

Seriously? They ruin the atmosphere, sounds like there's a pair of flys stuck in the back of the tv. Very annoying sound, and just provides a constant drone to matches. I was hoping a World Cup in Africa would lead to carnival like atmosphere with great singing and people dancing in the stands. But these vuvuzelas have ruined the atmosphere at the matches.

 

And before anyone says, 'but its there culture', how long have these plastic trumpets really been around? It's much more the African culture to sing and dance.

Thanks to these bloody things I haven't heard any singing or chanting from any of the fans so far at this world cup. What's that all about?

 

I'm sure the players find them pretty annoying as well.

I think they will be banned, there will be a big explosion of violence because theres no way people will tolerate being sat near some **** blowing them for 2 hours straight, they are louder than a chainsaw.

 

Clubs have also got to cover themselves against being sued if someone suffers hearing loss.

 

It might be the 1st good thing H&S do if they are banned.

Might as well have an empty stadium as nobody will be able to tell the supporters apart. Just a monotonous drone. It could do away with home advantage if the supporters aren't heard.

I hope we follow the example of Borussia Dortmund and ban them from our ground.

 

Why should clubs with a small number of supporters be able to make up for their crap support with musical instruments like bells (2,731 on 26/9/2000), drums or "1000s of bees".

I would kill anyone using one of things within 10 yards of me in the Kingsland. Fine in any other stand as long as they're not constantly going. Actually, nah - stick 'em where the sun don't shine.

Watching the Mexico v France game, and at least you can hear the Mexican singing & doing the Olé chant above the sound of them. Can we get some Mexicans instead?

 

we have been deprived of the worlds football cultures coming together and witnessing the chanting/atmosphere for the sake of some (non) South African culture

Having to listen to some of the fans around me all bloody season long is bad enough :(

 

Actually, come to think of it, maybe the sound of those vuvuzelas will drown out the muppets around me... bring 'em on! ;)

I'm going to get one, let's turn SMS into a cauldron of noise. And I'll happily fill in anyone who tries stealing my vuvuzela.

How long before football sees a mass break-out of vuvuzela-induced violence in the stands? ;)

I'm in The Plume now blowing mine and giving people the 'you gotta problem with this?' look.

 

No-one's making eye contact.

What do the vuvuzelas sound like ? I cant hear them above the drone of all them bloody flies !!!!

 

 

 

( edit ...... wow, no swear filter on the new forum ??? )

Posted

Please god no!!!!!

 

The rattle was stupid enough, these fecking things are just plain bloody annoying.

 

If you want to hear that sort of noise all the time go and stick your head in a wasp nest.

That'd be an awful thing to say! ;)

 

I f*cking hate them, but I'm willing to bet big money that the 'pork, pork' brigade have already bought them.
