The England Band

[mattviatura]

Here we go (to use the appropriate vernacular) another international football tournament rolls in.

I understand football is not universally popular but some of us enjoy watching the odd game, and I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who'll be watching England's progress or lack thereof through the competition.

But why must I be subjected to that inane bunch of fking Yorkshire tts who insist on 'entertaining the crowd' by playing the motherfking theme from the Great bd Escape throughout every fking bd minute of every fking bd game.

Okay, it might have been amusing once, but get over it you s it was fkING ONCE. Not any fking more and before anyone suggests turning the ttting sound down I like the noise of the crowd.

IT IS NOT fkING FUNNY. You are the football fan equivalent of James fat Corden, you are as entertaining as catching one's cock in one's zip. And that is not very fking entertaining.

I hope you all get eaten by lions, or whatever big bd carnivores are native to South Africa.

8/10.

Good use of the word motherfking.

At least in this World Cup the sound of that annoying band will be drowned out by the droning sound of those Vuvuzelas, don't know whether that's a good thing or not!

It will do your head in if the locals get in to the games, what a racket. Nightmare trying to watch the warm up game the other day.

I find it particularly annoying when the classic celebration noise of a goal gets drowned out.

And just think, in that practice match there were about 9000 people watching, at the opening game today there will be 10x that, it'll be deafening! I'm all for the host nations putting their stamp on the tournament but those things are just irritating.

Thats part of having the World Cup in Africa. It gives us a flavour of what football is like in Africa. The Vuvuzelas are part of that (despite them being fking annoying at times )

Would you rather have it always played in England, with 'classic' stadiums, 'classic' goal celebrations and hell, 'classic' haircuts too?

No, but you know what I am getting at.

You lose the roar when the ball hits the back of the net. When whistles, horns, Vuvuzelas etc are blaring out, if you took your eyes off the match for a minute you would notice someone had scored by sound alone.

I sit on the Kop at Hillsborough and after 16 years of it, it is now just background noise that doesn't really register.
