Those horns!!!

[Cocko]

I am hoping that they dont give those bloody horns out to all the supporters in South Africa last night was annoying and stuffed up the game

[Bomber]

Nothing more annoying than "musical instruments" at a game, particulalrly when no-one has music skills (take note drummer at Hindmarsh)

Get used to it, they will be at every game.

Just got an iphone app with these.

I feel for the RBE fans this weekend

[Lumper]

Almost contemplated turning the sound off during last nights match.

Apparently FIFA overturned a ban on musical instruments at this World Cup because they said the horns were part of the South African culture?! What a load of bollocks. 90 mins of that crap will put off many neutral observers that football is trying to win over.

When you think of musical instruments at football matches you think of those steel drums etc the South Americans play.

Six one one and half a dozen of the other. If you ban one you have to ban them all (including Manolo's drum).

[Chade]

C'mon, it "adds atmosphere".

Hey, that drummer at Hindmarsh is responsible for about half the noise - we need him (besides he's not that bad)

IMO, the drums sound nicer than and have a better contribution to the atmosphere than the bloody cacophany of those frigging horns just blaring constantly for 90 mins.

[The Chosŏn One]

I'm not arguing which sounds better because neither annoy me as much as david basheer's commentary. If Fifa bans one they'll have to be consistent and ban them all, whcih I wouldn't have a problem with.

[Major Tom]

Don't think it will be quite so noticeable in the bigger stadia.

[Wraith]

Let's hope not

[Red-4-Life]

so damn annoying!
better not be a common theme all world cup i tell ya.

Mute and captions will follow otherwise

[KEANO16]

I reckon they had those horns at the Confederations Cup so they'll be there again, so annoying

[The Chosŏn One]

I reckon they had those horns at the Confederations Cup

Yes they did.

[Bresciano]

Annoyed the crap out of us. Can't relax with that BS going on.

I was thinking of muting the sound also last night. The drummer at hindmarsh is totally different in that there is only one of him and he cant play constsantly for 90 mins at the same level. But 5000 of those F. U. C. K.I. N. G horns was bloody awful!!!

[cunto]

I actually thought it was swarms of south african flies hanging around the kids

i actually lol'd at that!!

But on topic yes horns fkn annoying!! Still pondering what my tactics might be if they have em during tournament! will be watching most games at pub so hopefully sound of pokes and me constantly ordering scotch and drys will overpower the sound from tv!

[ManCityMan]

we need more of the full brass band that was playing when AUFC played the Vietnamese team in the jungle grass...

That was quality..

Whoa whoa whoa...hey, hey now...don't say that heaven forbid it would actually ever come true. Manolo el del bombo is here to stay

[coachingsoccer]

Read somewhere these horns are capable of making a noise of almost 130 db. That's more then bloody chainsaw working at full power. Geez.

[Crocodiles]

david basheer commentary annoys me more than those horns.

[Jock]

Its one of those strange South African things that they think is great. Its only going to get worse. Lets hope they get knocked out early so they don't have anything to blow about.

[Hawkesy]

all musical instruments at football should be banned, they create false atmospheres.

South Africa's first goal at this world cup, the celebration will be a tribute to them.
The whole team will run to the corner flag and pretend to play them.

[Jock]

I've always dispised the noise made by South American football fans. The South Africans are even worse. These countries need to look at English football for atmosphere.
