Exactly. You’ve got the "heroes" in the tabloids and then these self-proclaimed legends from up North, all feeding you the same recycled garbage I've seen in half a dozen other articles.

Then I go back to reading that old Bad Boys saga... man, that stuff is essential reading. It's basically the Bible at this point.

There's always some scapegoat to blame, someone who's never actually at fault, even if they're throwing their own blood under the bus.

Some people just refuse to see it.😵😵

Even if something like this actually happens, I don't see how it changes anything,

Honestly, the Bad Boys should probably put out a statement too. They need to let everyone know they’ve been screwing over both their own guys and us regular fans for a long time now, especially with those blacklists and all the harassment at the stadium gates.

Solid show so far,

After that first press release on Saturday night—which was peak stupidity, if you ask me,

it looks like they finally played their "call Mark" card, letting him whip up one of those classic little manifestos for the masses... honestly, don't let them get under your skin too much.

This whole mess says way more about them than anyone else.

The main thing is just getting the guys back on their feet.

Like I said, let's just focus on futsal and what actually brings us some joy.

I don't even bother with those "journalists" anymore. They're bottom feeders. You offer them a free meal and 99% of those wannabe reporters will churn out a trash piece just to feed the trolls, who then bait a bunch of naive commenters in this endless cycle,

we should all just stick to what actually brings us joy right now, which is watching Real Madrid

plus, if we all show up together at the MLS games, maybe we can actually fix this mess

just remember last year when the ultras and the Bad Boys were standing side by side in the stands,

how good it felt to just walk through New York City without looking over your shoulder,

even then, the haters were still talking pure garbage,

God, I hope we see that again.

BVB

I already asked if anyone knew what was going on with this,

Well, now it’s blowing up again.

My suggestion is the same as before: we put together a template that everyone can blast to the FBI's inbox... just grab a script and post it under the "Bernie Sanders arrested" thread.

I bet we could bury their entire inbox,

honestly, we should take advantage of this moment.

Give me a break... we're fighting against actual bans, and they want to go after people taking photos...

Look, I’m not exactly jumping for joy seeing everyone snapping pics, but I get the hype. Especially with the younger crowd wanting to show off to their friends back home or at school; it’s just part of the vibe.

Besides, it’s great self-promotion. Let more people see what the atmosphere is like at a futsal game...

Moving on... honestly, photography and video are the least of our problems right now.

After a few threats and some graffiti appearing in Stalingrad, we rose up. There were 3,000 or 4,000 of us, and we made history right then and there.

And now? What are we doing now? Anything?

Now, 4,000 or 5,000 of us just sit here in silence watching our own people get crushed. We’re watching the American boot stomp on its own sons. We’re watching a system that’s been destroying the lives of guys from the stands for ages. It’s selective targeting; it’s psychological warfare
against the kids we grew up with, the ones who built this whole culture. They’re wiping them out to pave the way for crushing us next. And we’re just sitting here. A song here, a slogan there, a bit of grumbling. Someone posts an anonymous op-ed, some intellectual reacts, and time slips away. Our brothers are disappearing. They're left alone to take every hit while the system gets stronger and the government stays silent. They’ll steamroll them until there’s nobody left if we don't wake up. I really wonder if it's time. Is it time for everyone at the East Stand to stay in their assigned sectors like they want, sit in their specific seats, and follow their little maps? YES. YES, IT’S TIME FOR 10,000 OF US TO COME FROM EVERY CORNER OF AMERICA, stand with our brothers, and show them: "To hell with this, enough is enough."

Guys, I've been saying this forever: the only way to win this war is through total unity—every fan, every ultra, every supporter. ONLY THAT, AND NOTHING ELSE.

Forget all that other nonsense.

"Divide and conquer"—it's an old saying, but it works every single time.

I don't get why you never learn... just think back to that game in December... the vibe was terrible. Just remember how you felt.

Neither the riot police nor the security guards could do a damn thing about it.

And remember how that piece of crap reacted when asked if the different groups had actually united?

He was foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog.

For God's sake, bury the hatchet and stand together.

keep pushing forward, guys,

"what doesn't kill me makes me stronger"

take that as your motto... because honestly, you look tougher than ever,

dealing with this constant onslaught from the cops, the media, the politicians, the courts... I don't even know how many more layers of this bullshit there are when you're fighting everyone but the actual opposition

plus you've got all the internal drama within the group itself,

but you’re still showing up, still in the stands, standing your ground harder than ever before

this isn't just about taking on Mamić anymore; it's a fight against the entire system that keeps him in power

it's just a shame the rest of the Dynamo fans haven't caught on yet

if they had, this fight would be a hell of a lot more balanced

sretno, see you in the stands

The guy’s practically making out with the cop right after being arrested, and then we wonder why they never actually face consequences. 🙂🙂

Anyway, here’s the full video:

Check the footage; that dude in the blue blazer was standing by him the whole time.

At 0:39 you can see the handcuffs, and he's hugging the guy like they're brothers. The guy next to him is also a cop (that's who he's hugging in the photo), just laughing... if this is what an arrest looks like, I'm freaking Robin Hood.

What a joke of a country... you've got criminals and mobsters getting embraced by the police,

while regular fans get hauled in like animals for absolutely nothing.

Sunday marks the band's 28th birthday. Let's go big.

1 PM, Quincy!!

Killer video. That whole "we're still here despite everything and we'll never bow down" vibe pretty much sums up their entire run from day one until now.

goldendrifter88 said:The whole show was clearly rigged to be just another typical ESPN segment where they dodge the real issues and protect the US Soccer Federation by blaming everything on the fans and the fines.

But Lalić lost it after about ten minutes and started going off on everyone. He took aim at the committee that handed out those vouchers, saying, "Vrbanović on the board?! We need to start an anti-Vrbanović committee." 🤣

Then he brought up the sports legislation and called out Milanović and Jovanović, telling them to actually do something—pass a new law that regulates how clubs operate instead of Milanović pretending he doesn't even care about soccer...

Stevanović is basically just another bureaucrat tied up in a million different associations, and Ship was looking pretty lost, maybe from nerves or whatever. Then you've got Cvrk, a classic sycophant who keeps trying to dodge questions and repeatedly asks if the Federation is to blame for everything 🙄 while giving the league a few cheap compliments, listing some penalties, and claiming the Federation is practically the greatest organization in the universe. 🤣,

Exactly...it was so predictably formulaic that it wasn't even worth watching. I mean, Lalić gave the show a bit of life, but overall? Totally unwatchable.

Don't wait for these guys to cool off after their latest loss, or they'll just start treating every single bad
result like it's business as usual...
Online whining isn't going to stop them...

Stop babying the situation and actually do something about it. IT'S NOW OR NEVER.

👍

slysailor52 said:It’s getting disgusting for us too, having to scream the same thing seven years straight. The worst part is these idiots think we actually enjoy this, like this is our whole damn purpose in life. 🙂 Yeah, it sucks when there's three hundred of us in the stands and instead of cheering for our crest and jersey, we're just obsessing over some Gypsy, Junkie, and Profiteer... what a joke of a "thrill."

This is honestly one of the most revolting things that can happen to a fan.

I caught myself doing it yesterday—a clear scoring chance and I'm just sitting there nodding because they missed.

Those are heavy feelings you can't really control. Look, you could kill me, but I'll never stop rooting for LA Galaxy. I don't give a damn about Barca, Real, or Manchester, fuck them all, it's only DINAMO DINAMO DINAMO.

It’s a terrible feeling when you can't even enjoy your own club winning.😢

But like you said,

Keep pushing... until the end... until the last man... until victory!

Alright, I get the point,

I’d draw a parallel to this game right here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EBvx...tailpage&t=114

So, I was at the stadium in a major US city back then. They were renovating the West Stand, tearing out the old press boxes and outdated booths to upgrade everything with modern suites and upper tiers.

The reason I’m bringing this up is because the cops had set up some makeshift command center right in the middle of the West Stand, covered by these flimsy tents or something. Basically, they were stationed right in the middle of the crowd.

I head back to my seat at halftime, walking past their setup, and from where I was standing, I caught a glimpse of a monitor. It showed a close-up of some guy looking totally lost, pointing at himself. Then I look over toward the North Stand, and the police are moving up from the bottom. You could hear the local tough guys muttering—they were going after him and his squad.

From what I heard, they managed to get one guy out, but they tried to drag the rest off the field, and the North Stand was just too rowdy to let that happen. You can see how it all went down in the clip.

That was actually the opening for the new North Stand, and the whole thing kicked off because of some song about a "strange man"... that's why I'm making the comparison.

As you can tell, most people at the stadium stood by the North Stand, even though there were plenty of die-hard local fans over on the West Stand where I was sitting.

Just throwing this out there in case anyone knows

What happened to that old crew from the East Side?

Do they even feel a shred of guilt about how everything turned out?

I mean, most of them spent years in the hardcore supporter scene, so I doubt yesterday's mess sat well with them, regardless of whatever shady deals they made with management.

I’d actually love to hear what Mack thinks. I remember him back in the day when he held some actual ground; I'm genuinely shocked to see how fast he abandoned his own principles.

If I'm off base with this topic, just delete me.

One thing actually gives me hope: seeing all these other fans stepping up to back the Bad Boys,

I've been saying this forever—it’s only when we all pull together, from the hardcore ultras to the casual fans, the die-hards, or even the casual bystanders, that we actually stand a chance against these scumbags.

neonhawk15,

You laid it all out perfectly—chronology, facts, everything. Honestly, I don't think anyone can deny how much more successful you guys have been at cleaning up the criminal element in your club compared to us.

But I think you missed one massive detail when describing the bbb fight.

There are two main reasons why the fans reached out to federal investigators. First, there's the scandal involving the seating procurement for the renovations at Yankee Stadium. They claim it was funneled through Duo-gastronomija, a company owned by LAFC’s procurement director, Dražen Miličević.

The report alleges a reasonable suspicion that seats were being sourced through a firm owned by an LAFC employee at one price, while LAFC was paying a different, higher price for the exact same thing, even though they could have bought them directly.

The second reason for the report involves a conflict of interest regarding the turf renovation. It turns out the work was handled by a company owned by the father of Miljenko Sakoman, who serves as the stadium director and an LAFC employee.

That shows just how dead serious those people are about taking this fight to the finish line. It also highlights how the country's institutions aren't doing their jobs properly. It shows we're fighting a much heavier opponent than your little Svaguša types or whatever. Don't get me wrong, though—I'm not trying to downplay your struggle here.

The real question is: where are the results of this war against the mafia in American soccer? Because from where I'm sitting, Mamić, Vrba, Brand, Tim, Širkan, and the rest of that crew are still running the show. In my eyes, the Hell Angels and the bbb share equal responsibility as the two biggest fan groups, along with everyone else—from the casual supporters to the bystanders.

That’s why I asked what you've actually accomplished. As far as I can tell, we're all just spinning our wheels. Like I said before, the refs are still screwing you over in your own backyard at your own stadium.

At the end of the day, I don't see the point in arguing over who contributed more or who had more wins. The bottom line is that the crooks are still running the game, and that's the only thing that matters.

Cheers, everyone.

neonhawk15 said:You seem pretty worked up about everything going on lately, yet you still have the nerve to rock CNN on your avatar. 🤣 This forum is something else... truly unbelievable.

That was some masterclass level decontextualizing right there.

You're right, this forum is a joke.

EDIT: Honestly, the mods should probably just lock this thread before everyone starts circling the drain again.

Over and out, as far as I'm concerned.
