What do you mean by that Gregor?
Why should they be banned? "Oh they irritate me..." What about the drums or those instruments of trumpeting-ilk used at England games? Because tbh they irritate me.
They shouldn't be banned imo, I think they're great and really add to the atmosphere (H)
It's an integral part of the South African footballing culture, and hence the WC is held in South Africa it should be respected.

Noise makers are extremely lame. Only fair weather fans/bandwagon fans use instruments or tools to make noise in order to intimidate opponents.
Real supporters scream until they can't talk and clap until their hands are sore. I've been to some USA NCAA football games (some of the most rabid supporters in the world IMO) and I've literally lost the ability to hear at times it was so loud
