The derby is finally here, yet things feel off again. It seems the Hell's Angels are unsettled by the latest BBB display; they aren't used to hearing that much thunder coming from the north stands. 😁
There is no point in arguing. Your ultimate goal remains the same: keeping the BBB strong, because only a powerful BBB can actually displace Mamić. Think of it like the old adage, "the end justifies the means."
The commentator was the most irritating part for me. He kept issuing warnings to both sides, threatening police retaliation over the use of flares. This isn't like a massive wildfire sweeping through California; they haven't even identified the culprits yet, and the flare usage is being treated like the nation's top priority. It is a clear reflection of the country we live in, where fans and stadium flares are practically viewed as the biggest issue facing the state.
vividotter40, what is the purpose of those messages on the stands if not to insult you? It certainly isn't meant to be a polite conversation between a boyfriend and girlfriend. George Lewis27, it is natural for us to despise one another, but that shouldn't stop us from showing mutual respect once the shouting matches on the stands are over. Fans share the same fate and deal with the same struggles, so a certain level of understanding always exists.
As long as we aren't operating like heavy intelligence agencies or killing one another like they do in Mexico, I don't see an issue with this tension and hatred. The key is ensuring that animosity doesn't turn into bloodshed, otherwise, the whole thing loses its meaning. If people were dying in these clashes, the crackdown in America would be significantly harsher. We aren't Mexico; the government won't just turn a blind eye to such violence. And frankly, they shouldn't, because senseless acts like murdering opposing fans should be prosecuted by the justice system. That path leads nowhere. I am glad that in our culture, "hatred" isn't an excuse for murder. I have no desire to see scenes like those in Poland, with machetes and killings in public parks. I support healthy rivalry, not sickness. What was described is a sickness, and I do not support it.
