African culture my arse, they are only recent things.

You can blow your horns or whatever else you want at home, don't ruin it for everyone else.

Well you gotta admit those horns are a pain in the arse when you hear them at EVERY fuckin' game...
But I take it it's part of South Africa's culture, it's their world cup... Let's be tolerant: Vuvuzelas aloowed from June 11th until July 11th... But should they make their way into English football then there would be murders!!!

I'm not usually a violent man (
) but if some cunt (or cuntess) starts parping on one of those beside me in the Conglomerates next season I'm just gonna punch him/her in the fucking throat. Right in the fucking throat.

Amazingly, one of the lads in work spotted a junkie with one yesterday in Abbey Street in Dublin! How the fuck do junkies get this shit??!!

The popular use of these things only goes back to the 90's I think, so not that much of a tradition in south african football.
I agree with sammy in that they remind me of exotic football experience from another country, but on the other hand they drown natural crowd reaction to the ebb and flow of the game. So, I think less of them would be good.

radford likes them.
would we like the south africans to come to england and tell us how we should act whilst we are watching a game.
did anyone tell the argentinians to stop throwing ticker tape in 1978? as it made made a mess of the pitch.
radford thinks the arrogance of the west/europeans beggars belief

to blame the standard of matches of said items is clutching at straws if you ask radford.
