Who didn’t see this one coming?

Vuvuzelas have been shown a red card by European football’s ruling body amid fears they could damage the game’s “magic”.

Uefa says the plastic trumpets drown out supporters and detract from the emotion of the sport.

The noisy horns became a hallmark of the World Cup in South Africa, producing a monotonous backdrop during every match.

But they will not be allowed in stadiums during Champions League, Europa League and Euro 2012 qualifying matches.

Uefa says it has taken the decision to “protect the culture and tradition of football in Europe”.
