Will the horns ruin the World Cup?

What's the difference between Mick McCarthy and a vuvuzela? One has a monotonous single pitch drone, the other is a plastic horn.

it a very british attitude..we dont like it, so we want it banned, regardless of the fact that the south africans who are hosting it are happy with it and its widely used throughout the continent

it's still annoying. i bet more people are annoyed then the whole population of africa itself. my idea would be we send over some english lads at teach them a few songs and chants :)

i miss the sound of the crowd cheering :mad:
 
I'd like to know why England play The Great Escape tune when we're drawing or in the lead, it seems to jynx England.
 
can they not somehow move the mics in the ground away from the over excited south africans that are doing this? or is it literally that 99% of the ground have them?

its so annoying! if i wanted to listen to a bee hive id switch to the nature channel.
SA really arent doing themselves any favours by not banning them or at the very least limiting them.
 
For me its ruining it so much that I am picking and choosing games to watch, and turning the sound off because of that damn droning horrible sound. Theres no atmosphere at all :(

In all honesty , roll on Brazil cos I'm getting a bit sick of this one. ;)

They are a tad annoying but I seem to be able to tune out and just watch the sofar poor mostly football.
 
Here in Holland the broadcasters have turned down the stadium sound compared to the commentary as they got loads of complaints about the $%#$%$#%$# Vuvuzela's but it is still an annoying background noise that gets on my nerves :mad:
 
Well seeing as they probably won't be banned as they are such a big part of South African culture, I put forward that in the future if Australia win a world cup bid that they ban didgeridoos a year in advance, and so forth with every other country that has a national instrument of noise. :p

The fans have complained, there are thousands buying earplugs before entering the stadiums, the managers are complaining, the players are complaining, the tv broadcasters are complaining, the commentators are complaining, tv viewers are complaining. I guess money talks, we'll only see them banned if viewing figures drop and the advertisers give off that less people are watching.
 
Just heard on the telly that Sainsbury's are selling 10 vuvuzelas a second at the moment. Just when I thought next season couldn't get any worse for this Liverpool fan.

:(

Money does talk, Vuvuzelas are selling rapidly all over the World.

They're clearly popular.

If it was the reverse, and say they were unpopular and the majority were complaining then you might see them banned, but they majority are buying them.

How many people do you reckon are watching the World Cup around the world and you reckon the majority of them are buying vuvuzelas? People all went out and bought that stupid crazy frog ringtone, it's a fad mainly targeted at kids, doesn't mean it doesn't annoy the majority.
