P-Dizzle Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The world cup is about culture as much as it's about football. You can't confine the tournament to a handful of countries because it suits you. The Vuvuzela is part of their footballing culture. If you silence that, it defeats the purpose of holding the tournament in a country with different customs to your own. What message does that send out, when our commentators, reporters and viewers go on about it constantly. Because I'm finding all this bellyaching more annoying than a cheap horn being blown by a fan at the ground. It's not going to be banned, so stop ******* complaining about it in every thread. It's not a brillant observation you've made, I don't care what you think it sounds like and how that might be shite. Shut up, and talk about the football.

Del1812 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Well said that man. I'm already used to it and to continue to moan about it, after hearing it for over 200 minutes so far, you've got to be just a moaning, greeting faced, barsteward. Anyway, I've found the vuvuzela's silver lining.

We would be supporting a local business by buying tonnes of these from the cafe and it would make Tynecastle the most unique atmosphere in Britain for our opening game of the season. Who's with us??

Patrick Bateman Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Exactly, who wants to hear a crowd sing or cheer? Much better to have a drone for 90 minutes which changes in volume depending on where the ball is. Fantastic stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 When the Vuvuzela is all the media have to go on then the world cup in Africa is off to a good start . Many folk in the media were predicting a disaster with it going to Africa as it would suit the media agenda and to be honest many of our own prejudices . It may yet be but so far they are doing well . Of course these events mask the political problems in the African nations of poverty ,corruption ,Human rights etc but World cups the Olympics are not there to solve such things .
