Over the last few years, their supporter section organization has been top-tier—some of those displays were absolutely insane—BUT what does any of that actually matter when their best buddies are sitting right there in the front office, the police department, and the political circles? It’s a tough agency to deal with when certain individuals are just lining their pockets; honestly, you're asking for a beating if you even think about talking trash about Aleksandar Vučić. Not to mention how some members of the group end up working at political campaign booths for Vučić and attacking his opponents.😵 That’s exactly why I’d rather sign on for having the same attendance numbers we saw this weekend every single time, instead of lighting 300 flares, setting off fireworks, and having a packed North Stand with all these new cool songs, if it all means doing things in such a paid-off, sleazy way. The Bad Boys could have easily chosen that path too—they could have had the local mayors and the big-shot politicians on their side and operated as a European powerhouse where kids from all over the world would be obsessing over our displays on "Ultras Tifo" and other sites. Instead, they chose a different thesis—a more principled path—and while it might be harder now, it's going to show as a much smarter move in the long run compared to taking the other route.
Mark Edwards4 said:A few times, the center group started up while those of us a bit further back were still waiting to catch the melody—just really poor communication there. Last year during the big derby, the leaders worked together way better, though even this year wasn't bad overall, aside from those hiccups. It’s a shame we didn't get any new songs.
Look, I was right there in the middle, so my take is based on the crowd immediately surrounding me. I can't speak for how things looked from the sidelines, but honestly, there were several moments where you could hear this weird two-part harmony happening—mostly because people just aren't following the drums and are singing "from memory." For instance, when we do that "I love Dynamo (clap) I love Dynamo (clap)... I love them so much" bit, instead of everyone hitting their hands in sync with the drum beat, one section hits a second too early or a second too late... they're just not listening. It sounds ridiculous—you shouldn't have two different rhythms clashing on such a slow song. Plus, people try to rush through the lyrics like they're just trying to get the song over with. Personally, I think "Viju se na zastave" sounded the best, simply because you can't rush it, and it ends up sounding much more powerful that way. All in all, it was a good vibe, but there's definitely room to grow—and I truly believe the group is talented enough to make it sound even tighter next time.👍
Yesterday wasn't exactly a disaster, though—let’s be real—it could have been way better. There were huge chunks of the crowd just mumbling to themselves instead of actually getting loud. The captains were giving it everything they had to get people moving, but there were those stretches where even they just couldn't find the spark to pick up the pace. We had a few euphoric moments where it felt like we were absolutely tearing it up, but honestly, it’s hard to tell when you're right in the middle of it. If Cleveland manages to pull off the championship and—by some miracle—the Head falls off by the end of this, I think next season could be massive in terms of numbers... and just our overall vibe. I'm feeling a weird sense of optimism today, for some reason.😁
Ps. Dimne, no matter how much they try to play the sympathy card, it’s still top tier as hell in my book!
You've got the patriots on one side and a solid chunk of Americans on the other—and honestly, the right-wing crowd basically has a vendetta against the local fan groups. It's because those fans go after the "patriots"—you know, the likes of Mommy, Kovaca, Sukera, the Republican Party, and KGK, and all that. Then you have the liberals, who can't stand the fan groups either, mostly because they see them as being way too radical and right-wing.😁
It really makes you wonder which is worse—the government itself, or the people actually living under it?🤔
Tomorrow's derby. Everyone head to the North Stand!☕
It wasn't bad—honestly, given the timing and how things played out, we probably could have squeezed more out of it—but hey, it is what it is.🕺 The new track sounds solid to me, though I think it’ll take a little while for the whole crew to really wrap their heads around it and get into the groove.👍
Defending the city from the Ultras and the KKK?? Well, you did a pretty damn fine job holding them off yourself🙏 Maybe next time you should just let someone else handle the whole "defending the city" thing, huh?☕
Man, I’m seriously bummed I had to miss the game because of work—spent the whole week, Monday through Friday, grinding away at job hunting 😁. Honestly, missing those early matches is starting to get under my skin... I mean, can we not schedule these things for 5:00 PM or later? It’s tough. Still, seeing that scoreline against this opponent was great, and honestly, my optimism about how we're doing in the group is just climbing higher and higher 👍. I really think our best days in the group stage are right ahead of us, and if things keep going this way, the club is looking bright too 🙂
Solid numbers and some fun times in Indianapolis🙂 The group is finally gaining some serious momentum—we’re actually growing in size here. After years of just feeling pretty pessimistic about everything, I can feel that optimism starting to creep back in. Honestly, I’m starting to believe this is just the beginning of a massive comeback for the BBB on the national stage.🍿
I was on the other side this time around—not that the atmosphere wasn't decent—but I have to say, it feels like half the crowd only shows up when things are already going our way. I’m not expecting everyone to be screaming at the top of their lungs for the full 90 minutes, obviously, but seeing that energy dip on the north stand just felt a little off to me. Anyway, back in Miami.🎉
We’re finally getting those new spaces set up over in Pittsburgh soon! Honestly—it’s such a solid move, opening up these club locations in different cities... it’s bound to be huge for the group's future.👍
Man, what a total disaster, man.😁 Even divine intervention couldn't save this one.🕺 With his mental state being such a wreck right now—honestly, it’s a mess—there's just no way he pulls this off.🙄
Can I just pick up a ticket once I get to Miami, or am I stuck buying it ahead of time in Chicago? I haven't been out for a visit since 2009—long time ago, really—so I’m totally out of the loop on whether they've changed the rules regarding ticket sales lately.🙄
I've been thinking about this for a while now—just sitting here, nursing a coffee, letting the ideas drift—and honestly, I think we're looking at this all wrong. It’s one of those things where you think you see the obvious path, but then you realize there's a whole other layer underneath it all. It’s like when you’re watching a game and everyone’s screaming about one play, but the real shift happened ten minutes earlier during a simple substitution. You know what I mean? Anyway, my take is pretty straightforward, even if I tend to wander off on tangents sometimes. We need to stop overcomplicating the basics and just focus on the core intent. It’s simpler than people make it out to be, really. Just a thought. kaže: The first half was honestly solid—really loud, too—and since you were practically right under the rafters, I bet it felt even more intense than it sounded. The second half dipped a little bit, if I’m being honest, though there were definitely some standout moments in there that made up for it. The Megaphone was acting a bit weak, though—I couldn't catch everything myself, but all things considered, it was a good show.
Honestly, the energy around the edges and up at the top was always going to be a bit thin—I wasn't exactly shocked by that—but man, even for me, it felt a little quieter than I had hoped. That’s really why I always try to snag a spot closer to the heart of the crowd. It's just a much better experience when you aren't constantly hearing your own voice shouting over everyone else—it's way more immersive that way.😁 The energy from the crowd today wasn't half bad—honestly, it was pretty decent—but let’s be real, we can do better. Actually, we *have* to do better. Especially when it comes to supporting the BBB.👍 All things considered, we really ought to be feeling pretty good about how things are shaking out... I can't actually watch video links directly—my eyes aren't quite that high-tech yet—but if you could give me the gist of what’s happening in the clip, I’d be more than happy to dive into it with you. Just lay out the main points or tell me what caught your eye, and we can get a conversation going. Lakers-Celtics, 2007. Celebrating 21 years of the Chicago Blackhawks fans. If you take a look at this footage, it’s pretty clear that those numbers weren't actually that much higher back then than what we're seeing today—even though there's always that certain crowd that seems to live for conflict, acting like things are somehow better just because the BBB got absolutely crushed.🙄 There’s definitely a future for the BBB—honestly, we just need a little more positivity around here. Once everything finally settles back into place regarding how the club is run, things are going to be more than alright... we'll be doing better than ever. It’s been proven more than a few times—whether you're looking at the numbers in indoor soccer or that one intense derby where everyone just lost their cool and started playing with pure emotion instead of any actual logic.
The turnout today was actually pretty solid—honestly, I don't think we've seen numbers this high against teams like San Francisco or Indianapolis even before the boycott started—and look, it has to get much better than this! We had a massive crowd of kids, mostly around that 13 to 17 age range, which isn't a bad sign for the future of the group, but man, it’s kind of a bummer seeing so few of the older guys showing up at the games. As for the atmosphere, aside from a few hype moments, it was pretty mid—actually, probably even below average for the Bad Boys! Most of the people around me were barely making any noise; some were basically silent for most of the match, and those were the kids, who you'd usually expect to be the loudest ones there... It’s honestly kind of ridiculous that I, as one of the "older" fans, am the one screaming my head off trying to rally a bunch of 17 and 18-year-olds, but hey, it is what it is.🕺 The Leader was pretty hard to hear, too. I was right in the middle, though near the rafters, but I can't tell if it was just an issue with the Megaphone or something else going on. Other than halftime and after the goal, I didn't really hear the chants, although 👍I'll give credit where it's due regarding the attendance, even if most of them were just casual fans. I couldn't make it to tomorrow's march because of work, so I have no idea how that ended up looking. There’s definitely room for improvement here, but there's hope for the future, especially once we get Real Madrid back in the mix.🙂
Solid performance out there in Indianapolis. Now, heading into the matchup against Seattle, we’re gonna need to step it up even more—no backing down now!🙂
Gary Green32 said:you can really hear how loud we were up in the North stands in this video😉
I was right in the middle of the North section—where the chanting never stops—so honestly, I barely heard a thing unless there was a break between our songs😉 Thinking back to one of those big rivalry games before the boycott years—back when the lower North stands were absolutely packed—I have to say, the atmosphere now actually felt even better than back then. Mind you, I was hanging out more toward the east side at the time, and I remember almost nobody around me was making any noise except for a few scattered moments. But this past Sunday? I practically "had" to cheer along because, man, the sheer volume from the majority was just constant thunder🙂 That’s the kind of raw energy I’ve been missing all these years... I actually got goosebumps the second that first song kicked in🕺
