Carl Spackler Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 It's only a matter of time before a Vuvuzela player is admitted to Jo'Burg General A&E with one of these things having been force-ably and involuntarily introduced to their ringpiece if you ask me. Apart from the fact that they probably made a pretty good cosh was there any other reason the old football rattles were banned from grounds here?

colinmaroon 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. I'm sorry, but could you say that again!!!

Boof Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 As for singing and chanting - that's never really been a WC thing...has it? The vuvuzela? Doesn't bother me. It does bring to mind, however, that fantastic thread (which I think turned out to be a wind-up) about the formation of the massed Gorgie kazoo band. I still think that should go ahead.

robbodog Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Absolutely loving the Vuvuzela.

neilnunb Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I would rather hear singing/chanting during the games than these awful instruments. The South koreans fans are usually pretty vocal with the drummers.....you couldn't hear a thing from them yesterday. Will we hear the German fans tonight, who again are usually pretty vocal. I doubt it. Or Holland tomorrow? It is taking away from the real atmosphere these games should be generating.

By all means, let them be played when South Africa are playing but the rest of the time....feck off! Got to agree. As a blind person who can't get anything out the TV because all the commentators talk about everything in the world except what's going on on the pitch, I spend 99% of my time taking in radio commentaries. This world cup is totally ruined for me so far as you just can't hear any crowd reaction, even when a goal is scored, these damn horns get louder and that's it.... so frustrating, completely spoils it for me. Understand the culture arguments, but na, it's eliminated the chants, the unique songs, there's just no audible atmosphere. If all you folks had to listen to games in your car on the radio, I bet you'd switch it off and watch the highlights later. Even the radio commentators are shouting at the top of their voices, it's crap.b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
