Probably the best one is in that last link—check it out from 2:40.

This is just his latest win against the fan clubs, though I hope it’s not the last. He can peddle lies however he wants—every single word out of his mouth is a fabrication—but who's actually going to stop him?

The leaders of the supporter groups could issue statements or bang their heads against the wall all they want, but society is so messed up right now that whatever garbage this guy spits out is taken as gospel by most people. I don't know how we get out of this mess, and honestly, I'm not sure anyone does, but the first step has to be the two biggest supporter groups in America joining forces.

He has this way of twisting things to suit his narrative—honestly, almost every word out of his mouth feels like a fabrication, but at this point, who can even challenge him?

The thing is, we—the leaders of these organizations—could write all the press releases we want or try to argue our case until we're blue in the face, but the public climate is just so broken right now. To most people, whatever garbage this guy spits out is taken as absolute gospel. I'll be honest, I don't know how we find a way out of this mess, and I'm not sure if anyone actually does at this stage. But if there's one first step worth taking, it would be for the two largest supporter groups in America to finally unite.

What a "victory," God bless you...

I’ve been following this thread for a while now, so I decided to weigh in.

Looking at this from the perspective of a Real Madrid supporter on the East stand, the situation is pretty clear. There have been highs and lows for Real Madrid, and it's the same for the Bad Boys. This fight has been going on since 2006. The whole city knows the story; years pass by, yet the Bad Boys and Mamic just keep doing their own thing. Ultimately, this entire mess boils down to one fact: there are no real fans left in the stadium. Casual fans come and go, but for a group like the Bad Boys to be absent? I can't wrap my head around it. I’ve witnessed the decline firsthand, but it only became obvious once you moved to the East stand. On the North stand, you still felt like you owned your backyard. Now, that same stand—where people used to chant for legends and show patriotism—sits empty, occupied by a few clowns who managed to drive you out of your own house. You started a futsal club as a substitute for Real Madrid at Yankee Stadium and kept traveling for games across America. Listen, as someone from Chicago and a local from a Suburban neighborhood, that fake glory in other sports means nothing. You need to 😉 fight for your home. Go back to where you belong, no matter how much it hurts, because that's just the reality of Real Madrid. The current state is pathetic, and even at my age, I’ll keep showing up to the East stand. It isn't about picking sides; they can never take my memories or my club away from me.

Looking at things from the perspective of a Real Madrid supporter sitting in the East stands, saying the situation is a mess isn't far from the truth. There have been happy times and miserable times with Real Madrid—and honestly, it's been the same story with the Bad Boys. This whole struggle has been dragging on since 2006; the entire city knows the history by now, yet years pass and both the Bad Boys and Mamić just keep doing things their own way. In the end, this whole chaotic mess basically boils down to the fact that there aren't really any fans left in the stadium. I mean, casual fans have always been hit or miss—some show up, some don't—but for a group like the Bad Boys to be absent? I guess I just can't wrap my head around it. I’ve seen some real misery firsthand, but only after moving over to the East side; back in the North stands, you guys still kind of felt like you owned your own backyard. Now, that same section where people used to chant about greatness and patriotism sits looking pretty empty, maybe with a few clowns left who actually managed to drive you out of your own home. You guys even started a futsal club as a sort of substitute for Real Madrid at Yankee Stadium and kept traveling to away games all over the US. Look, guys—as someone born and raised in Chicago and a true product of a Suburban neighborhood—that fake glory in other sports doesn't mean much if you don't 😉fight for your home. Just go back to where you belong; I know it hurts, but hey, that's just Real Madrid for you! The whole situation feels pretty pathetic and aimless, but even at my age, I’ll keep showing up to the East stands. It's not even about picking sides, really—it's just that they could never take my memories or my club away from me.

Looking at this from the viewpoint of someone who isn't part of the BBB, but still cares deeply about Real Madrid—it seems pretty obvious to me that what I've highlighted here doesn't quite hold up... just my two cents, anyway...

Man, I’d really love to hear some actual, concrete advice from an older, more seasoned fan—someone maybe fifty years deep into this—on how we can avoid mass arrests and getting hammered by the law. And I’m not talking about things people have already tried, either. I mean how do we dodge being hauled off just because you don't have a ticket in your pocket, or for shouting something out, wearing a certain shirt, holding a beer bottle while hanging out near Times Square, or even just giving an officer a weird look—or sometimes even if you didn't do anything at all, they'll just find something to pin on you. I'm talking about avoiding months of being held without any real charges, those blacklists posted at the ticket booths, seeing hundreds of cops in riot gear surrounding Yankee Stadium behind rows of steel barricades just for a few hundred fans, losing your job, getting kicked out of school, ruining your reputation, dealing with threats, intimidation, the general abuse of power by the state, and all that media spin... all while they simultaneously try to resuscitate dead or dying fans and DinamoFce supporters so they'll step up and sacrifice themselves a little instead of the kids—because why not, right?
And let's be real, I'm not talking about that brainwashing nonsense on the stands where everyone sits there with their heads bowed, "proudly and quietly remembering Real Madrid," just so some suit can count more than 364 paid attendees and claim that support for GNK is growing. And no, I'm not talking about the protests, the legal battles, or the media campaigns we've already thrown at the wall to see what sticks.
Who knows, maybe there’s some fresh idea out there waiting to be shared, so if anyone with more experience wants to chime in and give their two cents, go ahead. Everyone carries the weight of their own little corner of the universe, assuming they actually think it's worth much.

Who knows, maybe there's still a fresh idea out there to share, so let the more experienced folks weigh in. Everyone is responsible for their own little corner of the universe, if they think it's worth anything...

Don't blame me for poking around the admin profiles.

What’s been written here clearly shows people tried, but it didn't move the needle with the fans, the media, or the government. You can't really influence the legal side anyway because nothing works, but hey, at least you tried. As far as I know, there were two or three protests, and nothing happened. In fact, by protesting the way you did, you basically gave the reporters an excuse to mess with you. Coming down under the West Stand, where the elite used to gather—people who aren't even there for the club but just for the "small town" vibe with a few messages and a slightly aggressive approach—had zero effect; you saw that yourselves. I think for things like marches and protests to work, you need better relations between all citizens who support the club, like myself. You've tried everything, but from what I see, you never started with yourselves and your own community. I suspect the Bad Boys have always been a bit rebellious and misunderstood by others, which separated them from regular fans, but times have changed so much that the very existence of the supporter group and the club itself is at stake because the club has become alienated—not just from you, but from me and all of us. A couple of years ago, I talked to one of your members about moving over to the East to join those fans. His response was that the crackdown in the North was unbearable and they couldn't be rowdy because of the surveillance network. But look closer, guys. What has the East actually brought you? A bunch of cameras and a ton of police surrounding you; you were basically served on a silver platter. I mean, during the last game in the North against Indianapolis, there were more of you gathered than usual, and they didn't mess with you in the North nearly as much as they do in the East. The North is still a free stand, but since you guys stopped showing up, the few individuals left are tarnishing your group's reputation. How can they even use the name Bad Blue Boys? Don't you guys have a trademark or copyright to ensure only you can use it?

I honestly cannot wrap my head around what you are trying to achieve here. Are we really suggesting a trip back to Yankee Stadium, knowing full well that after a single match against Indianapolis, probably 80% of us won't even be able to get into the stands? Or perhaps you want us to deal with being harassed and detained in those dark tunnels where there aren't any witnesses to see it? What is the goal? What more can be done when we have already exhausted every other option? Should we just crawl back and become the model citizens—quietly sitting in our seats without a single protest or a flare in sight—just so we can at least be allowed to stand in the stadium?

Even if we wanted to show up, we can't even get into the stadium, so all that talk about "not coming back" just falls flat from the jump.
Then there’s the issue of why people are being driven away from the North Stand in the first place. Between the ugly stadium design, the total incompetence of the front office, the constant crackdowns, the heavy security presence, the zero-tolerance policies, and the influx of foreign players... I could go on forever.
For us, going to a game feels like a gamble where you might end up stuck in a holding cell just because of some mindless mistake, and honestly, very few people are willing to take that risk. If all that nonsense weren't happening, then the first point—the blacklists preventing us from entering—wouldn't even be an issue.

For us, going to a game is basically a risk of ending up in a holding cell because of some stupid mistake, and hardly anyone can afford to take that chance... If none of that were an issue, then my first point stands—the blacklists are what's really blocking us from getting in.

Alright, I think I finally see the full picture now. It sounds like you guys just don't want to deal with being harassed at the stadium. It’s honestly sad because the system is totally broken... I just hope we don't have to start a separate soccer club just to follow this futsal one.

Look, I’ve got 25 years of experience in the stands—I’ve got the career, the mortgage, three kids... and for you and everyone else who clearly doesn't quite grasp how things actually work, I’ve only got one thing to say: just show up to a Milwaukee Wave game and feel that energy you used to get at the old stadium. And yeah, bring your kids if you've got them. We're doing futsal right now, but hopefully, we'll be back in the north end of the stadium soon enough...

Walter Clark7 said:we need better vibes among all us fans who support Real Madrid like I do. You guys have tried everything, but from where I'm standing, you never even started with yourselves or the community around you

Look, man, I’m a fan who doesn't even consider myself part of the Bad Boys crowd, and honestly, I’m probably closer to your generation than most. Even years ago, I realized right here on this forum how much of a waste of time it is to just spend all day whining about vague conclusions whenever a thread catches my eye. I try to chip in my two cents whenever I can. It all comes at a cost, sure, but thank God there are plenty of Dynamo fans out there; it shouldn't be such a massive headache to swap out the exhausted, burnt-out ones for a fresh batch of eager supporters, right?
Despite all the issues, if anyone is going to suggest being proactive, I’d point it toward that "community" you mentioned—the fans and the "citizens" you're talking about, which, let's face it, most of us Dynamo fans fall into anyway. Instead of just sitting there passively waiting for some Bad Boys types to suck up to them, play nice, or send over some formal little petition with an explanation, why not actually do something?
Besides, they aren't exactly aggressive, and from what I've seen, it shouldn't be an issue—in fact, it might actually work—if they just listened to a specific, actionable idea from you. If you've got one, go ahead. You and your buddies could even try to pull it off yourselves, just so everything doesn't rely on certain people or those Bad Boys types you seem to think have a bad reputation.
Anything is better, and in any case, it's better than just typing away or stating the obvious on a forum, or the "silent majority with Real Madrid in their hearts" just fading away in the stands, or leaving the stadium entirely, which is already happening.

Honestly, I just hope we don't have to start a separate soccer club just because this futsal team can't get its act together.

The real issue, though—and this is what everyone's missing—is that the harassment has been spilling way outside the stadium walls for a long time now.

Man, I was actually looking for that "Real Madrid, we love you" melody... anyway, I just sent those three links to some guy who was asking for a better quality version of "Despite Everything."

Forget about the actual win—Management's reaction after Rijeka scored those two goals was honestly priceless! 😂

Just sit there and take it, you lot. Go ahead and comfort those mercenaries by sucking up to Management and Vrbannović—though I doubt you're even capable of that much.

They claim they want fans back in the stands, but honestly, who would ever return to watch this mafia-run league? Between the rigged games, the paid-off refs, and those pathetic excuses for supporters in the North End—who have spent so much time stuck in that local gutter that they're practically a public health hazard at this point.

Look, I don't have anything against people from that region, but I have to be geographically specific since we're dealing with two absolute lowlifes from that particular neck of the woods. 😁

P.S. Happy Easter to everyone—except, of course, the group mentioned above.

That’s exactly my point. Most people don't care about the actual truth, so they'll swallow his conspiracy theories instead because they aren't part of the die-hard fan culture.

Just endure it, you animals; go ahead and let those mercenaries comfort themselves by sucking up to Management and Vrbanc; you aren't even capable of anything else.

Do you honestly believe this carries any weight for him? Not while Koch and Klinsmann are busy embracing one another in the VIP lounge.
