The Sound Of Plastic Trumpets!!!! (vuvuzelas)

[ramjamclub]

I watched the first game with South Africa and had to turn the sound down.
Army of wasps
Second game, I found that I got used to the sound
going to watch England tomorrow on large screen in Amsterdam so will have to put up with it.
on the other hand I might buy one and join in

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Ah, stop complaining!

I'm used to it already. It's not like we've never heard this before. You'd have to be deaf to have never heard these horns in european games or international games before. It's only because the media have made a story about it.

Anyway, when England play we'll be singing, not blowing those stupid horns - we don't need them.

Most of the games will be half empty.

In fact most games will be not watched at all. Some will be so boring that ern wont even bother posting on threads about the world cup

 

[strung out]

i don't mind them. adds to the character.

Seriously?? You don't think anyone would have noticed if it weren't for the media (other than through the medium of sound being broadcast).

 

[albionism]

I hadn't noticed the media talk about them when i started the thread. I was watching the match
and getting annoyed....But then, i have always hated those bloody things.

Oh do fuck off - I have never seen an opening WC game of football where the host nation scored a cracker of a goal 1st, and you couldn't even hear the crowd go nuts - just a slight increase in the volume of that fucking drone.
I love the sound of the crowd - these trumpets can fuck the fuck off, although I fear they're here to stay.

 

[Pingu]

fuck me they are annoying. its like having a soundtrack of white noise going on in the background.

 

[ernestolynch]

The organisers give them out as they want to mask the fact the stadiums are half empty, and of those that are in the crowd, most are bemused locals given free tickets.

Are you in South
africa?

 

[tommers]

I like em.

I think that will be the acid test. Though not many, I suspect there will be still some people on tonight's game with the damn devices. If, as I fear, they are still able to drown out the noise from the crowd, we're in for a truly shit WC.

shut up moaning cunts

shut up moaning cunts

^^Tis
I can't believe some people are saying they couldn't hear the crowd after SA scored. Unbe-fucking-lievable

 

[boing!]

Its an odd sound. It gives the whole game some strange sense of underlying tension, like the suspense music in a horror film. I won't pretend it isn't really fucking annoying though.

[CyberRose]

I seriously wish they'd fuck right off. There's just no atmosphere at these matches and hopefully the locals will have cashed in their tickets for the England matches so we don't get any stupid trumpet noises at out matches

 

[5t3IIa]

I'm waiting to get used to them

 

[marty21]

they aren't bothering me at all

 

[the button]

It's just the roar at Millwall but with plastic trumpets instead of racists.

 

[hektik]

the constant droning on and on in the background is really spoiling this world cup already: when is adrian chiles getting the chop?

 

[Pie 1]

BBC have turned the crowd down on the Argie/Nigeria game, have't they?

 

[baffled]

Said the same to my missus, certainly didn't seem as loud.

Of all the countries out there USA and England have supposedly brought the most support so we may get a break tonight though as I'll be in a pub I doubt I'll hear the commentators let alone the Vuvuzelas.

 

[Silva]

Kind of reminds me of 80's european competition highlights. Only with plastic trumpets instead of air horns.

I don't mind it in broadcasts (beats listening to the TV commentators), only when there's a single person, possibly unable to blow a straw, making a sound pretty similar to a loud fart.

 

[krtek a houby]

Doesn't bother me in the slightest; it adds to the atmosphere, I reckons.

[MrSki]

Please please please ban them.

Surely the peeps there want to twat the bloke sqwarking in his ear.

Bring back rattles that what I say

 

[kittyP]

Oh my god it's SOOO annoying!!!'

 

[krtek a houby]

It's not really, you know.

 

[xes]

it's much better to have loads of noise, constantly, than to have periods of silence. Factamundo.
