Honestly, I think just lifting the sanctions on Putin would be enough of a concession. All we really need to do is get the military out of Ukraine—and yeah, that includes Crimea. Anything beyond that is just playing nice with a bully. We basically let him slide when it came to Abkhazia, Ossetia, and Crimea, and look what happened—he's already moved on to invading Ukraine. Let's just hand him eastern Ukraine now so he feels all warm and fuzzy? Then, in maybe five or ten years, we’ll all be sitting around wondering why his appetite grew again and why he's suddenly eyeing the rest of Ukraine, the Baltic states, and Moldova while threatening us with nuclear war... I really hope the West realizes that this needs to end right now by liberating all of Ukraine and actually seizing the chance to reunify Georgia and Moldova...
A bunch of Azov fighters from Mariupol have been freed. I mean, this is going to be such a massive morale boost for the guys holding the line at the front.
What’s the deal with that Wagner Group crowd—you know, Putin’s little kitchen staff? It hasn't been officially confirmed if he's actually dead, but man, nobody is even mentioning him anymore. I guess I’m just completely out of the loop here...
God, Google. Back in the 89/90 season, during the 30th round, that New York City FC match got shut down because the ref actually got hit in the head with a rock. That was right after May 13th—some crazy derby against the Red Sox.
The top one is from the Cup finals in Miami—it says 4:1, I think, maybe back in '93, The bottom one is from Boston, and it actually says "interrupted" on the back. Maybe it'll help the older folks remember...
Ran into two more of them—just snapped these quick shots on my phone. I’m gonna be out of commission for a few days, but once I’m back, I can try to scan them properly to get some better quality.
Alright, here... there isn't much to see, and honestly, scanning stuff always kills the quality a bit. I couldn't be bothered to crop every single one individually, so I just threw them all together in this collage format instead.

Look, man, 😉I'll tell ya Back then, I was just some hyper kid—seriously—collecting every little thing related to fans and the stands. Since we didn't have the internet or that sweet, sweet anonymity people have now, I used to dig through everything just to find something useful. Eventually, those guys started bringing stuff to me themselves, probably because they figured if they ever ran into me, I'd be the first one they'd want to settle things with. I actually have some old VHS tapes, but since they're all unlabeled and I couldn't be bothered to hook up the video player to watch them, I ended up just tossing them in the trash.
By the way, that banner isn't BBB, it's Dinamo Kutin, and you can see those Zg hooligans there too... I'll post it here this afternoon once I finish digging through my scanner.
Took advantage of this nice weather to get some early spring cleaning done—finally! I stumbled upon some old photos from that Hajduk Split cup final back in the early nineties. They were taken by the police, so they feel more like "documentary" shots rather than typical fan photos. You can see some Transparent signs and stuff from BBB Kutin... there are even a few guys in uniform in the shots. If anyone was actually at that game and wants a memory of it, let me know and I might post one here.

We’ve got plenty of those types around here... just local losers acting like they own the neighborhood. Back in the 90s, they used to pull me over just to shake me down for cash—total thugs—and now? Now they’re stopping me just to preach about Jesus. Honestly, some of you guys are a lost cause.
This year was actually pretty massive when it comes to how much financial aid we threw at the club while they were struggling. And don't even get me started on those people over at LAFC who send us their payment slips whenever someone's in a pinch—not to mention the absolute mess they made organizing The Subway Series.

But seriously, how are those of us living nowhere near the top tier supposed to get ready? What if some guy from Chicago walks up to me offering a beer, and I just instinctively deck him because I haven't heard a thing about any truce? I mean, I don't think I could live with that kind of shame.🤷
hahaha what an absolute moron. And then—get this—he actually replies to that comment from Dragutin Heigl saying: "I disagree!" Like, seriously? What a complete idiot.
Paul, thanks for everything you did for the Kansas City Chiefs! Rest in peace! I remember when, after those few idiotic columns by Senjanović in the Democratic Party, Sičan went over to see Baća during working hours—just to try and explain the direction our NFL Ultras are headed in... and the guy, of course, didn't give a damn about understanding him. He wasn't even trying to get it; he was just waiting for his chance to trash him in the next column. I guess Nadan hopes you guys aren't in the same place, but if you are, please—give him hell... though I know that probably wasn't your style.
