Vuvuzelas love em or loathe em?

[slick]

Well I must admit after giving them the benefit of the doubt and willing to see how they faired, they are beginnig to do my bonce in.
I find eventually i can blank them out but no sooner do i do that a commentator will mention them and they start to drill into my brain again, Its like being stuck in a phonebox with a hive of wasps.

I'm sorry but they get the thumbs down from me.

[Gavster]

I love them. They define South Africa as the venue in the way that the samba bands define South America and the loud excitable gasps and clapping defines Asia.

They generate atmosphere, perhaps not in the same manner as the drummers at pompey or the cow bells at the skiing, but without them the show would be boring and lack authenticity.

The same attitude was and perhaps still is adopted at Lords and other cricket grounds stop the loutish barmy army.

To be honest, the vuvuzelas block out some of the controversial crowd chants. I'd have them on the premiership any day with more instruments too. A carnival atmosphere really picks up a team.

Most annoying thing I've heard in a long time and very, very, close to being unbearable. I think if there was someone playing a repetitive trumpet tune over and over on top of it all I'd probably lose control. It almost beggars belief that any human with functioning ears could tolerate this... incessant FUCKING DRONE!!!!!!!!! It never stops either. These cunts don't breathe. Hahaha. It never ends. Ever. Hahahaha. HAHAHA!!!!!

Just found these guys agreeing with me (this is from the Confederations Cup)

I love some of the comments on that last vid.

So far, I haven't seen/heard a single bit of African culture. I've only seen a bunch of fucking primitive morons blowing a plastic horn that was given to them by the West. And instead of using it to the extent every reasonable mind would use it, they decided to behave like three year old kids who are allowed to honk a car's horn for the first time in their life. What a bunch of morons South Africans are! That's all what they have showed us - and that's how they ruined it for everyone else.

id rather hear a fart than that horn

I was tweeting with Tim Lovejoy over this who is down there - he said it actually adds a hell of a lot to the stadium atmosphere wise which surprised him as ti gave him a headache on the tv.

My thoughts? I have forgotton what football matches sound like without them now

[keemanan]

You still tweeting with that cnut , can you tell him from me he's a cnut kiko?

They are annoying only because you cant hear any singing from the crowds , I dont mind it when it annoys Alan Green and co or when I have to turn off the appalling commentary from ITV but I do miss the crowd generated stuff

[ONEDUNME]

Does my fucking head in. I was just about to reply to a post (by Mickey I think) during the first game when the site crashed but now that you've reminded me Slick it gives me a chance to vent my spleen.

I FUCKING HATE IT. It's almost like a hypnotist has conditioned me with the urge to kill every time I hear them. As you say, you just manage to somehow block them out of your mind after 20 minutes and then some CUNT of a commentator or the bloke standing behind you in the pub will mention them and you have to start again.


African culture my fucking arse.

I love them. They define South Africa as the venue in the way that the samba bands define South America and the loud excitable gasps and clapping defines Asia.

I hate all of the above. I hate repetitive crowd chants that you usually get when the champions league is on when some foreign teams sing the same fucking tune for 90 minutes. I hate that song that moronic scousers stole from the Irish. I'd rather listen to "the referee's a wanker" for an hour and a half to be honest.

I don't need crown atmosphere. I've switched on to watch a fucking football match, not thousands of cretins singing. In fact, even when I go to matches, more often than not I stick earpieces in and listen to radio 5 or something. Mainly to drown out the sound of mindless morons shouting and making inane comments - which brings us back to Keem's point about ITV commentary.

God I miss Sky

High five, girlfriend!

Then Jamie "Im a Cockerney in an extremely tight suit that shows my nuts" Rednapp in the studio.... He just talks about Chelsea and his dad.

SKY =


And don't even get me started on Phil Thompson!

Like I said Gav, I switch on to watch football, not to stare at Jamie Rednapp's testicles. I prefer his missis to be honest.

I never, ever sit through the pre match, half time, or end of game summary as I can't afford to keep buying televisions every couple of weeks.

I leave the TV on and do something else but, even then, I'll hear the odd comment that makes me want to cry. These cunts get paid for stating the blindingly obvious and it's never worse than the world cup when they get cunts on who can't fucking even speak English (and I don't mean Alan Hansen). I genuinely have no idea what Desailly is fucking saying, they might as well let him speak in French.

I agree with Phil Thomson though. He has the analytical brain of a seven year old but he tries to put it across as though he'd just discovered gravity and the twat actually gets paid for it. It sums Liverpool football club up that they actually gave him a fucking job until they realised that he's a complete twat.

Thick scouse cunt.

LOL

True

[Gavster]

I wish Alan Green would make the switch to TV to be honest, he's truly amazing and brutally honest.

If you want a laugh though, listen to Robbie Savage on the 5live football express last night fielding calls from absolute morons!

[keemanan]

Fuk me Alan Green is THE BIGGEST CNUT in the fukin world!!!!!

He is without doubt the worst commentator there has or will ever be.
I detest only one person on this planet and it is he. Even Graham Taylor hates him and that cnut doesn;t hate anyone

[MickeyPaul]

Ian Crocker is the worst commentator ever.
