I'm shocked that the English haven't responded with a chant of "you can shove your fcuking vuvuzelas up your a*se (sideways)"

Quoted from GrimRob
Totally agree, football IN SOME PARTS OF THE WORLD is about chanting and that gives so much to the game. I always know in TV games which end "belongs" to which team and in this tournament I haven't a clue. They hardly show any crowd shots on TV either. The crowd might as well not be there. Contrast it with the games at Wembley where they constantly show people in the crowd reacting to incidents in the game.  As a supporter you identify with the people in the crowd.

Football is not just about 22 players and a ball.


In my opinion Japan/Korea 2002 was where the atmosphere was, by comparison to South Africa, garbage. There was no music, no chanting, just a sort of excitable shriek whenever someone scored, like 50,000 schoolgirls seeing Zac Efron for the first time.

You're right, football is not just about 22 players and a ball. It's about celebrating the differences in the many cultures that support the game.

Why the fuss about them? It's part and parcel of an African World Cup, in the same way that ironic chants and banter between fans is a key element of the British football crowd.


How can you say that when this is the first ever African World Cup? If this is the norm I don't expect Fifa to be heading back there any time soon.

Perhaps England fans could start a new fad in the hope that it might catch on.  Would the South Africans be able to do the Hughesy and blow a vuvuzela at the same time, do you think?


I doubt it very much.  Drink driving and killing someone, then trying to run away whilst blowing a ferking great horn might just draw attention. therefore not giving you the chance to hide away until the alcohol level has gone down and your top lawyer has briefed you on what to say.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

What I want to know is,  how do they manage to blow the bloody things all the time,

Do they not need to come up for breath now and then ?

Well I'm voting with my remote and cutting down on the amount I'm watching. The TV coverage has been poor and those wretched instruments totally spoil the handful of games that have been half interesting.

Roll on proper football

Signed the petition.

I've decided the only way forward is a total boycott of the WC on TV.
