Because you know so much about African culture. They've been around since re-unification and come from tribal horns used to declare war and bring all the tribes around together.

South Africa has no football culture.

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!!!

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.

:wink:

I can't believe that we won't hear one bloody song sung by any of the fans this World Cup. I too am sick of them now.

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

nothing to do with the players being poor aks radford.

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