if you think plastic trumpets supply atmosphere i worry for your intelligence.

atmosphere is the flow of fans noise in harmony with the game - a duet of sorts.

these plastic trumpets just make the same noise for a goal kick as they do for an amazing goal. its stupid.

to the "they are ok" gang:

what does this add to atmosphere? especially when the atmosphere created is the same no matter what in the game is happening. it is killing the game, and making for an awful spectacle.


how is it tradition to buy plastic? how does it support a team when both sets of players know no difference - just noise.


its gotta go.

but i see UK supermarkets are selling thousands to the sheep that will follow just about anything.

The ancestor of the vuvuzela is said to be the kudu horn - ixilongo in isiXhosa, mhalamhala in Tshivenda - blown to summon African villagers to meetings. The trumpet became so popular at football matches in the late 1990s that a company, Masincedane Sport, was formed in 2001 to mass-produce it.

So how many Kuda horns do you think it would have taken to meet the demand for this world cup if they had to use the traditional materials, Other things are now made out of plastic instead of the original materials used so does that mean they are no longer traditional because of this?

we get it! you hate them! now shut the f*** up!

your constant droning on is ruining nsc.

The proliferation of threads is very annoying...

Can't everyone just accept that they are marmite. No amount of arguing/name calling is going to convince me that Vuvezelas are the route of all soccer evil or that they should be banned.

More likely they are too used to sitting in silence at Withdean and have forgotten what its like to watch a game with noise and an atmosphere.

i dont think thats anything to do with it, they are being universally dismissed. they add zero atmosphere as there are a continuous tone for 90 minutes. Goal? vvvvvvvvvvvvv. dodgy tackle? vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv. team needs a lift? vvvvvvvvvvvvvv. the main solution is to mute the TV, but that doesnt really work either if not watching 100% (ie at home busying around).

like them or not, its obvious they have been the main talking point so far, so have detracted from the football.

What the f*** has it got to do with you? Are you the thought police or something? It is a real problem with the retards who blow them spoiling the rest of the worlds enjoyment of the World Cup.

And i suppose these used to make different noises depending on whether it was a goal kick or goal

We do accept this.

The difference is very few people like the damned things, but they're being forced on everyone.

I think the real problem is the sheer amount of threads about how annoying they are... I, for one, don't mind that you hate them. I like them, but we're all different.

I just wonder whether is is time for the threads to be merged.

With regards to the vuvezelas being the main talking point, I think that is more a sign of bad football rather than anything else.

Well the moaners on here have to have something to complain about :jester:


I think the mods should merge all these threads and make it a sticky as its getting ridiculous that there seems to be two or three new threads every day about them being annoying

Damn beaten to it

I assume you hate cheering and chants then?:angry:

Not at all, it was merely a statement followed by a question.

I love chants and cheering, everyone (except that Catt fella) does. I don't think they'll catch on in the UK at all, which is why I am happy to embrace them for the summer as a part of my world cup experience.
