Shove your vuvuzelas up your arse

They should allow them for South Africa games only. Flares are banned at the world cup and they're prominent in many countries, you can't have a beer in the ground yet can in many countries, you can't smoke in grounds at the world cup so it stands to reason you can ban those stupid horns.

Let South Africa host the tournament in their own style and culture.

[Royalee]

The things are made out of plastic and have nothing to do with historical South African culture. Given how pathetic the infrastructure is out there it's a disgrace they got the tournament in the first place. I'm sick of this political correctness gone mad.

Horns aren't a fire & safety hazard. Horns can't give you cancer through secondary smoking. Horns can't lead to people losing control of themselves and running amok. Ban horns and you have to ban all musical instruments.

Otherwise an excellent and extremely well thought out argument.

They can make you go deaf, they can be used as weapons, they affect the quality of football as per Patrice Evra's comments here:

There's three reasons to ban them right there.

imagine the fuss in the daily mail if a bunch of morons allegedly supporting england set up a tuneless rendition of the "great escape"and banged on and on with respite for an interminable time.

As can drums and trumpets. Loud music can damage your hearing, or someone standing next to you shouting really loudly the entire time.

[Royalee]

Do players, supporters and broadcasters complain about drums and trumpets? Are vuvuzelas actually played in a tune?

Hopefully an England fan will do the right thing and lob one onto the pitch so that they're banned.

You really are tedious.

Why don't you go back to the big brother thread and post that you are not watching it... again.

Or you you can post on the England thread about how much you hate England fans...again.

[LoyalRoyalFan]

Ban Them.

[Millsy]

I hate those things with a passion.

Every match sounds absolutely awful.

No passion, no chanting, just a constant drone of the b****y things.

[frimmers3]

or you can just continue to assume like many another knee jerk twerp on this portal. i have not posted on the "hate england thread". i am not alone in not watching big brother. perhaps i am not a sheep like you. but feel free to believe what you want,fact or fancy. your right in a democracy.

[papereyes]

Not being able to hear the commentary comes as blessed relief for anyone watching ITV

[sam1]

They're on sale in Sainsbury! oxf*rd annoying, sounds like an amplified swarm of mosquitos.

[Stranded]

Already pretty much blocked the sound out...

[ankeny]

Really don't see the problem. Adds to the atmosphere.

Rubbish,people singing and chanting for their team is an atmosphere,these oxf*rd things are ruining every game .People blowing them should be kicked in the nuts,that will stop them

[buzzby]

They could be getting banned, I really hope so.

'ppreciated, but at a competition where they're stuggling to fill grounds with any fans, let alone partisan ones, it fills the silent void. There would be just as many complaints if there wasn't any noise in the background, I should imagine.

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

You know some busy bastard in a English clubs marketing depatment is watching the World Cup thinking how great this all is.

Be shocked if we don't see these creeping into English football...
