Fed up with those bloody trumpets already!!!!

[clippedgull]

Should Bloom put in an order for 22,500 at Falmer for the 1st game?

Would drown out the moaners!

 

[Smithy24]

I didn't find them to annoying and didn't really notice them after a while.

 

[footychick]

They're quite mesmorising after a while

 

[Man of Harveys]

They're quite mesmorising after a while

I agree, I think they're OK, quite like them.

 

[Mackenzie]

Horrible racket, I REALLY hope we don't get them over here. They sound like hornets.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

I love em

 

[Publius Ovidius]

anyone think it will drown out the england fans?

 

[ewe2]

I love em

I hate them....

 

[Spider]

They're okay, I stop noticing after a while. It's pretty annoying when you're seeing highlights and short sections of matches when the noise kicks up though!

Also, let's be honest - the atmosphere at these matches seems a bit shit with everyone blowing horns instead of singing. Give me a crowd who can actually sing any day. The foreign fans who actually want to get behind their countries in the stadiums will find it pretty annoying.

Do you reckon they'll drown out the f***ing England band playing the Great Escape for the 367,397th time though?

 

[The Wizard]

anyone think it will drown out the england fans?

No.

 

[Phil B]

Its typical of all matches in africa.

Its like on big noisy dance party - game can be a 9-8 thriller or a 0-0 bore draw - party goes on regardless. :US:

 

[Easy 10]

Anyone notice the lovely 2-3 minutes SILENCE from them immediately after mexico equalised. Ahhhh.

FIFA have stated they will NOT ban the vuvuzelas from the tournament unless they are thrown on the pitch.
Barmy Army - you know what to do.

 

[El Presidente]

Nearly punched a gay in the head one day at a game as he kept blowing it right in my ear.

Are you sure this did not happen in Brighton?

 

[Bry Nylon]

I was driving at 3 o'clock, so I thought I'd listen to the game on the radio.

What a bloody racket. I couldn't figure out what was going on at all, so I gave up after 20 minutes and stuck a CD on instead. f***ing stupid horns.

Oh, for the sultry summer romanticism of Italia '90.

 

[Insider]

Reminds me of the Play Off Final in Cardiff...

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Are you sure this did not happen in Brighton?

No it's too cold at that time of the year for anything like that.

The shrinkage just doesn't allow for any lasting rigidity.

 

[El Presidente]

This would NEVER have happened if PW Botha was still in charge

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Takes something away from the atmosphere, I hope we can here the England Fans over those feckin things. Makes me think i have just come out of a loud gig or i have tinnitus

 

[Ecosse Exile]

Yeah good wasnt it?

And there you have the answer score loads of goals and shut them up

 

[KZNSeagull]

I wonder if you are getting the same sound feed that we are here, cos the Vuvu's definately did not shut up after Mexico scored. A few less being blown, but they were still going.

The annoying part is that you can hardly hear the crowd oohhing and aahhing and singing. Other than that I think they are fine.

Sorry Simster, but I think they will be a feature of every match.

The most annoying thing I thought was the anthems. Nkosi Sikelele, like most anthems, is awesome sung unaccompanied or with the music in the background and all we could hear was the bloody tannoy - could not hear the crowd at all. Shame.

Other than that, I think SA surprised a few people in the second half and a pretty successful start to the tournament all round. Hoorah!!
