I'll ignore the troll's hook blaming the whole continent, but really, think about it ... this is the World Cup, not the World Cup according to how Europeans think it should be, but the first on the continent of Africa.
The vuvuzelas are part and parcel of football (and music) in South Africa. Would you ban scarves at Leeds games because the draught they cause when waved above the head might give you a chill? http://www.southafrica.info/2010/vuvuzela.htm Personally I think it is bloody great (even if I have gone deaf Andy C ;-) ) -----Original Message----- From: Richard Walker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 13 June 2010 15:41 To: [email protected] Cc: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] A few England thoughts Because it's fucking annoying . All the things you mention below Brian didn't fundamentally change the atmosphere at games I.e the crowd were still able to show their support and appreciation of their team. This is a blanket din that just monopolises the atmosphere , leading to no sense of whose fans are actually there - no brazilian drums , no weird chanting, no rule Brittania no nothing just a load of bees buzzing. Let's face facts this is the idea of someone who doesn't understand football supporters. I wouldn't have expected anything else from the Africans .

The ticker tape in Argentina, the Mexican wave, the trains on time in Germany ;-) ... so why should the vuvuzela be banned?

At last some common sense.
