    To be honest, because it was a pants match I watched the 2nd half with the picture off too :D
    :rotfl:
    That was the right thing to do! I even went and did a bit of workit was that bad.

    My brother was upstairs watching it loudly when I went to my Mum's earlier. I thought he'd been attacked by a swarm of bees.
    Squirrel!

    Those bleedin things are doing my nut in ; currently watching the Uruguay v. France game with the volume off.

    Likewise - I hope they get some new microphones for the commentators which shield out that awful background noise !!!!

    I agree, they are putting so many people off. I won't stop watching but it won't be as enjoyable because i'll have to have the sound down.

    My mum loves football but she's totally blind so listens to it on the radio and she had to keep turning it off because it was giving her a headache :o

    Similar sorts of horns have been blown by cricket supporters on the subcontinent for a good couple of decades, and have appeared now in this country. Whilst it may create an atmosphere inside the ground, it simply comes over as irritating on the TV.

    Hopefully someone will chuck one on the pitch soon - if that happens FIFA say they will ban the lot of them from the stadia.

    At least these horns will drown out that stupid band that follow Eng-er-land around that play that tune from the Great Escape over and over again.

    At least you're only hearing them on ITV. I've not got the TV or radio on and I can still flipping hear them because everyone in Manchester seems to have got one from somewhere! Argh! :(

    I was thinking the same thing :(
