Barmy Army Trumpet Reinstated! What The... ?

[Dogwatcher]

honestly this guy should stick that trumpet where the sun dont shine........I know if i would have parted my hard earned dollars and have that t*sser sat near me blowing that bl***dy trumpet all day it would probably want it banned..........blokes like that might like to consider other people not everyone want to be subjected to the distraction of trumpet playing....

Seriously - are you going to a game of cricket or Lawn Bowls?? Cricket is about having a few drinks, watching the game and making noise to support your team... If you can't go there and listen to some bloke with a trumpet then you shouldn't be paying your money to go to the Cricket, go across the road to the tennis or rowing....

Would suggest also that you don't go to footy if noise is considered a "distraction"

Mate been to a thousand footy and cricket games noise never an issue.....my point is simple if someone persisted in blowing a f***king trumpet in my ear all day i like most people would probably get the tommy tits..................maybe you would like to sit next to this bloke????................hes nothing but a pain in the ar*e.......and dont give me this cr*p about isnt this what cricket about coz p*ssing people off isnt one of them..................all im saying show consideration for 90% of the crowd...

A bit precious Power01.

It makes me laugh when people complain about the possibility of this guy blowing a trumpet in their ear if they happen to sit next to him, as he'll be sitting in the middle of the Barmy Army when he toots his trumpet. He won't be sitting next to you me, or any Bronzed Bonzer Ocker Aussie - unless you're stupid enough to walk into the middle of the mosh of Poms.

And as the Barmy Army's only going to get bigger over the next three tests, due to the remainder of the package tours flying in, if he's in the middle of it all - he's going to be a long way from any Aussie.

Let the man play. It adds colour and vibrancy to the game.

interesting post coz he wasnt allowed to blow his trumpet in the ashes series in the uk last year....in front of thousands of poms so why should he be allowed here....................so maybe u should sit next to or near him and see how u feel after 5-6 hours of play................u might just be saying what I am SHUT UP!!!!

Interesting that he wasn't allowed to play in England.

But...as I said, here in Australia - he'd only be in amongst the Barmy Army, who apparently want him there, so it's their ear drums gettings bashed not the Aussies.

It'd be no worse than the piercing advertising CA are playing at all the grounds this year during breaks in play.

Looking at the bays and bays full of Poms at this test - do you reckon there are any Aussies whingeing about sitting too close to the Bugle Boy?
