Hopefully Im worrying over nothing but I hope our games and across the country next season arent going to be overrun by the sound of the incessant deafening tone of a bloody swarm of bees.
I dont mind the novelty of a couple of them that find their way back from South Africa at maybe the first game or two, but thats it.
If we find them being sold outside the ground, I suggest we tell the vendors in no uncertain terms what we think.
If, heaven forbid, the club shop sells them then we will have to tell The General in no uncertain terms what we think.
You want noise at a game other than shouting or singing ? Then I say BRING BACK THE RATTLE !
-
I agree.
The vuvuzelas are getting on my nerves. Listening to that 20-25 games a season is a guarantee of tinnitus.
-
The atmosphere at the WC has been shite. Have barely heard any singing.
-
If anyone in row 25 upper holte has one of those I will personally insert it into an orifice the opposite end of their body to their mouth!
-
I wouldn't have thought we'd have to worry about it as much as fans of Wigan, Bolton and Blackburn do.
I have no basis for this theory, just a hunch that if any clubs were going to go vuvu crazy next season, it would be them.
-
What about the Zulus, are they allowed in?
-
It will be the same Mickey Mouse clubs that need a drum / band to try to generate an atmosphere in half-full stadia. Don't let them in Villa Park, in the home or away sections.
-
It's a fad, pay it no mind.

There's a sily old bint who sits behind me with her family. She brings one of those old fashioned rattles. Thing is after about 20 minutes or so each game I'm ready to shove that fucking rattle up her fanny, bitch. She's the sort that would bring a bloody Vuvuzela. Not looking foward to the first couple of games.

No, it's cultural. And traditional. And to state otherwise makes you a hideous xenophobic, racist, apartheid-loving, get-back-in-your-box-black-man, politically incorrect, nasty piece of work who thinks the whole world revolves around you!
If one, JUST ONE, person of South African heritage is present at Villa Park, then there should be 40,000 vuvuzela's giving it the big one.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It wasn't stating your opinion about the vuvuzela which makes you a hideous xenophobic, racist, apartheid-loving, get-back-in-your-box-black-man, politically incorrect, nasty piece of work who thinks the whole world revolves around you, Troy. I imagine you've been like that for a long time.

If someone blows one of those fucking things near me, I hope they can get the tune from Buck Rogers out of it because they're going to wake up 500 years in the future.

I'm sure she can hardly wait.

I know you have rules, Dave, but I'm ok with this.
I dished it out....I can take it back. All good.

Answer here (http://www.heroesandvillains.info/discuss/viewtopic.php?t=38857)

Did you hear the first Vuvuzela linked injury had been someone rupturing their throat blowing one too hard (oo-er missus). This happened last week at a WC game. Are we supposed to believe this is the first injury? I can imagine a prior one could be linked back to the first appearance of the horn at a football game, involving said horn, horn owner, man in seat in front, man in seat in fronts fist and a surgeon.
-
I'd get RSI from all the vuvuzela's I'd be ramming up people's arses.

Not my idea of fun but if it helps get you through the day who are we to judge.
-
There'd be a lot of fans walking painfully out of Villa Park, farting in B Flat.

Fantastic. Given 'em a free vindaloo and what would you get? Lot's of fresh air and good music. Now THAT'S an intimidating atmosphere!

Apparently Villa are still to decide on a ban.
-
Didn't mind them during the World Cup but don't want them down the Villa. Hopefully we'll make the correct decision.
I can see the likes of Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan embracing the vuvuzela with open arms though.
-
Bolton have banned them along with Birmingham, West Ham, Fulham and Arsenal.

And Everton

I believe Southampton have also banned them.

You sound like Graham Poll, Dave
-
He was banned months ago.

Really? Who the hell is going ot come to hte defence of the poor, innocent, Iraqi militia now?
-
We'd only just declared an armistice too. After a fashion.

I was referring to Mr. Poll.

i can't see the reason behind the clamour to get behind the banning of the things. Now although they didn't bother me at all during the World Cup I wouldn't want to be deafened by them at games.
Which is kind of my point. Nor would anyone else. Amongst the sharp turning of heads towards the vuvuzela blower, the tuts, the onbious discord amongst fans, the person(s) with the trumpet would soon stop and forget about them.
but, they also will have a limited lifeshelf anyway. After World Cups something is also imported for a short while and then die a natural death. Singing 'Ole, ole, ole (or owaye as we did) lasted and was in vogue for a month or two and then disappeared. This is likely to have less of a life as our support goes to singing rather than the average fan bringing in plastic trumpets.
leave it alone and stop giving it as much oxygen as it has been and it will die its own death. As for banning it? No need.
On the other side, I'd rather have a chorus of these things than the bloody brass band that insist on drowning out every England game. That's where we should aim our ire. And as for Portsmouth...

Aha! I'll get back to my dyslexia then.
