The Armada

Paul Taylor2 said:Look, I’ve been getting flooded with messages from people in New York, Chicago, and even Philly—but not a single word from anyone in Thor's camp. It just goes to show they're clearly feeling insecure—because honestly, looking at this forum, it seems like they're the only ones constantly coming for us, even though we looked damn good yesterday...

We could honestly just go in circles here, because if you ask me, you're actually the one dealing with an inferiority complex—since everyone else popped up to praise you guys except for Thor... which pretty much says it all, doesn't it?
Personally, it never even crossed my mind to go looking for validation from outsiders (I won't list names because if I leave someone out, people will claim it's just more of those "complexes" at work🙄)—either I'm happy with how things went or I'm not...
And honestly, I'm getting pretty tired of hearing everyone throw around the term "complexes" for every little thing... ☕

I haven't been to Seattle in a hundred years, but if I can judge based on the TV broadcast (realistically, objectively, maybe???) I’d say I felt that old West vibe again from about ten years ago.

I don't think any of us here has some sort of inferiority complex toward you guys that would stop us from saying you put on a great derby. This whole matchup was overshadowed by side stuff that has nothing to do with you (we still have over 30 people in custody right now, and those main banners were seized before being returned with police help) ... so I guess the current feeling of being inferior to you makes sense.
I never claimed you guys were just a top 4 group for us; you've always been one of our three biggest American groups, regardless of the fact that you've slipped a bit over the last few seasons.

Maybe we could try to find some thanks for a good performance out of pure spite—just to be difficult, since everything feels like a mess right now—which probably explains why the crew was so extra hyped up and worked up. But starting tomorrow, you guys have to head out to places like Phoenix, Austin, and Washington, D.C.
Looking at it realistically, the demons in Washington, D.C. have pulled off better seasons lately than you have these past few years. And damn...
You just need to start building momentum again, focus on getting your numbers back up, and the rest will probably just fall into place.

You guys are constantly hunting for some kind of validation from us online. I mean, what does that even add to your lives?
You want recognition, but then you automatically refuse to admit that Thor absolutely crushed Seattle yesterday, and that they were playing at their peak level even though the Los Angeles Dodgers are sitting at 13th in the standings? Just hold on a second, stay focused on the game..

Cheers..

Just straight up wrong... but honestly, who cares? 😉

Look, I’m not out here fishing for any kind of credit or anything, but I just gotta say—that derby was handled perfectly. Honestly, it would've been such a bummer if you guys hadn't shown up in force. This was easily your biggest road trip since hitting Washington, D.C.... The only thing is, you guys were a little quiet on the chanting side of things today.

The guys in the Dodgers faithful love to claim we’re just obsessed with them, but honestly? It feels more like they’re the ones stuck in denial. You almost never see anyone from their side actually give credit where it's due when it comes to a killer fan display...

To be honest, this season, they've done a much better job in Washington, D.C. than you guys have over the last few seasons. Just one of those things, I guess.
It's time to start building some momentum, focus on increasing the turnout, and everything else will fall into place eventually.

They handled the stadium atmosphere better, but honestly, show me where we’ve had bad attendance at our home field in the last five years. I'm not trying to argue, but there's always at least 250 people there, minimum.

☕...as long as this guy talks his way out of trouble and stays alive...☕

That statement is about as useful as cheering for the Dodgers when they're down by ten in the ninth.

William Smith10 said:not really...

It wasn't anything like that, it was actually a response to the minor leagues—..the big leagues... hmm, what else could it be... tropical? hmm, no... maybe something from the Midwest? mm, nah... something random??... maybe some quiz show answer?

anyway, it falls right under the brotherhood code🤣

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP_YHCfmAww 🙏I was just sitting here thinking about how much things have changed lately, and then I stumbled upon this... 🙏it really makes you stop and wonder about everything, doesn't it? 🙏It’s one of those videos that stays with you, sort of lingering in the back of your mind while you're trying to focus on other things, and honestly, I can't quite shake the feeling that there's something deeper going on here than what we see on the surface... 🙏I mean, if you look closely at the way they present these ideas, it reminds me of those old documentaries we used to watch on PBS back in the day, where everything felt so much more intentional... 🙏anyway, I just wanted to share this because it felt important to bring up in a conversation like this one...

Larry Rivera83 said:not a chance. that was the supposed rebuttal to calling them minor league — ... maybe the semi-pro leagues... hmm, what else could it be... the jungle leagues? hmm, no... the local muni leagues? m-m, no... the amateur hour leagues??... maybe the high school level?

anyway, basically in the realm of mob rules🤣

it was loud enough.

the home crowd was decent, as usual when we travel to their stadium.
I was actually surprised by the other two sections of the stands, which were also pretty good at times.

there, is that better?

Way to go. Really nice. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Are you guys actually insecure about our fleet? Seriously, take a look at yourselves. You aren’t even in our league, but I’m not going to sit here and drone on about how we’re the best or you guys suck. It's just funny—you claim we have complexes, yet the Split fans laugh at you whenever some random group starts cheering for a single street or a neighborhood and people immediately compare them to the fleet. When you travel for away games, you’re all too terrified of being run over by the fleet to actually make a scene. That’s why it’s always just nothing, just silence.

You aren't even in the same league as us. I’m not even gonna sit here and brag that we’re the best or that you guys suck, but don't act like we have issues. People in Split just laugh at you whenever some local kid starts cheering for his own neighborhood or street—everyone just lumps you in with the rest of the crowd. And when you travel for away games? Everyone's terrified they'll get run over by the fleet, so they just stay quiet. Pssssss.

I honestly think the author doesn't even know what they're trying to say... Just remember, it's only your fleet that'll tell you "I love you and nobody else."

briskgull96 said:I haven't been to Seattle in ages, but if I can judge just from the TV broadcast (realistically and objectively?), I’d say I felt that old West Coast vibe from ten years ago coming back.

I don't think any of us has some sort of inferiority complex toward you guys that would stop us from admitting you crushed it at the derby. This whole matchup was overshadowed by stuff that has nothing to do with you—we still have over 30 people in custody right now, and our main banners were seized and only returned after police intervention. So, if there's a bit of tension toward you right now, it's understandable given the circumstances.
I never claimed you guys were a top-four group here; you've always been one of our three biggest American groups, regardless of how much you've struggled over the last few seasons.

Maybe we can find a way to give you credit out of pure spite—just because we're annoyed at the whole situation—which honestly just fueled the energy and got the crew even more hyped. But tomorrow, you've got to go handle business in places like Phoenix or Austin, and then head up to Washington, D.C.
Being totally honest, this season, the teams in Washington, D.C. have performed better than you have over the past few years. And damn...
Now you just need to work on building momentum again and growing your numbers; everything else will fall into place.

You guys are constantly hunting for validation from us online. What does that actually mean for your lives?
You want recognition, yet you won't automatically admit that the Ultras absolutely dominated Seattle yesterday, and that they were playing at their peak level even though the Dodgers are sitting at 13th in the standings? Slow down and get your heads in the game.

Later..

You're talking a lot of trash, you know... like, keep it real for a second. ☕

blahblahblah said:He just wanted you to be a good kid—so enjoy yourself and soak up these last few days of freedom. You know how it goes: once the late August rains hit after Our Lady of Guadalupe, summer is pretty much over, and you've got school right around the corner. I hope your mom already picked up your textbooks. As for that little poem... well, I won't get into who wrote it or anything like that.😛

Greetings from the old Torac gang... go ahead and ask who's sitting in fourth place...
Sending my best to everyone hanging out at the beach near the pier, and to those 🤷who went zooming by on their scooters past the East Side... what a lack of common sense!

Complex🙂

Terry Lee3 said:You’ve got to be kidding me, right?... the idea that I’m insulting you guys is some massive global blunder—considering we already go at it quite a bit 😁 😉... and because of that, I'm supposed to sing about some "Uros"? What kind of Uros? Who the hell is Uros, throwing insults at my head? Why would I sing about some random guy? Would you sing about them? 🤷...I wouldn't...☕
And tell me—you're part of Torac, aren't you? What is this nonsense... "kill the locals and the outsiders," "poor souls," "foreign children"... etc., etc. etc... fine, you're probably joking and I'm just taking the bait, but still—it stings. Don't go there...🙄

No, you aren't joking. You should probably know who actually wrote this song using those exact lyrics. There is a massive difference between heaven and earth when you're singing standard stadium chants—one side is just the usual repertoire—but you're singing us a song that was used by extremists. It's rock bottom. And naturally, the only response left is to call out that history. So, enjoy yourselves if it makes you feel good.

urbanhawk10 said:No, seriously, don't joke around. You should probably know who actually wrote those lyrics. There’s a massive difference between us singing standard stadium anthems or whatever typical rap stuff is out there, versus you guys singing us a song that was used by enemy troops against us. It’s bottom-of-the-barrel behavior. And honestly, the only way to respond to that is with "American kids." So, if this makes you feel good, go ahead and enjoy it.

Man, that’s rough... I guess we all have to watch every single word those extremists used to sing at us back in the day just so we don't accidentally trip up now... see, for example, I didn't even realize the history behind some of that stuff...🤷

Terry Lee3, don't let them get to you—they are all just deeply insecure people dealing with their own little complexes👎🙂
