As far as I can make out,the only people complaining are the broadcasters like Sky Sports. I figure it's because they have an idea of what a football match should be like, and their viewers have an expectation of what a football match should be like, and they're worried their viewers will be turned off by being offered a football experience that is outside of their usual cultural sphere. Europeans expect singing and chanting; that's what happens at a football match if you're European. Personally I think the broadcasters are being a bit patronising by assuming that their viewers are so small-minded, that's what TV is all about these days - they would rather change the facts to fit the expected story than just report the facts - and sports reporting is no different.

You're biased, clearly.The only time I've heard those horns is when it was decided that it's fun to "rickroll" with them. If I had to tolerate that tuneless dirge for longer than 30 seconds I'd be irritated.

I'm sure unexpected vuvuzelas are both shocking and upsetting,but to go to a football match and complain about the noise is a bit much. They may be annoying when taken out of the context of a lively football match, but in their proper setting they are no worse than any other form of terrace vocalisation.

I disagree. It's a subjective matter but I'd argue that they're more annoying to those that dislike them than they are fun to those who like them.I'm bored of drrrrhorns now anyway. GOOD DEBATING A+++
