England Band

[turienzo's lovechild]

the worst one is when they play the ACTUAL TUNE of "come on england, come on england, come on england"

sake, wish they would just f*** off......they seem to think that they're completely indispensable, whereas everyone else thinks they're completely dispensable

Does ANYONE like them?

Having been stuck in front of them at Hampden Park in 1999, all I can say they did for me was clear the wax from my ears.

However the atmosphere at the France game seemed shocking (from the TV), so maybe they are useful.

so maybe they are useful.

Typical response from the bobble hat brigade.

 

[Albumen]

They sound like a swarm of drunk bees being raped.

They will never stop, not all the time they are getting all expense paid trips to European/World cups. Just wish the FA would listen to the masses.

More to do with there being so few England and France fans in the ground, that the absence of 5 dullards with trumpets, I'd suggest.

 

[happypig]

twenty years and all they've got is five tunes, who do they think they are, Coldplay ?

 

[Marxo]

They have the same effect on me as a very annoying mosquito buzzing around my head stopping me from concentrating on the football.

 

[The Large One]

WE ARE THE SELF PRESEVATION SOCIETY

I can't WAIT till they do that one.

A pedant writes: The song is called GET A BLOOMIN' MOVE ON.

Which is equally as apt.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Oh the joy. It was nice and peaceful on Monday, without them. This season we're going have to put up with them as well, if they decide to make the Band play at Hillsbrough against us!

 

[Norman Potting]

They sound like a swarm of drunk bees being raped.

Excellent use of words there!

They sound like a swarm of drunk bees being raped.

You're probably confusing them with the vuvuzelas then.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Good chance for a pointless poll

There was a Telegraph online poll (other online polls are available) and the vote was approximately 80:20 in favour of keeping them banned.

Is it trending yet? I use Tweetcaster and I've not figured out how to get to "trending" yet.

 

[catfish]

I hate goal music as well but at least that only gets played in short bursts. That poxy effin' band go on all bloody game.

The only way to stop the din is for supporters in the ground to shut them up

 

[Munkfish]

We can only hope to hear the England fans out there signing, 'you can stick your f***ing trumpet up your arse'.
