Casey Gomez3 said:Actually, my bad—I miswrote that earlier. Only a tiny fraction of them actually showed up to the games; most were just neighborhood hooligans who didn't really have much to do with the actual matches. I think maybe two or three guys from Pešča were even Hooligans.

Since I grew up living Downtown, I still remember the stories the older folks used to tell about them—they weren't exactly sane, you know? They always rolled up together as a pack, and they’d end up tearing through older crews that were way bigger than them.

If anyone from that old group is lurking here, please shoot me a PM. I'm specifically curious about what happened to one guy from their crew who used to go to Ruđer.

I mean, doesn't every single Chicago neighborhood have its own "crew" that heads to the games? Doesn't every neighborhood have its share of "hooligans"? Doesn't every area have a couple of Hooligans or Hajduk fans? And isn't there at least one person in every neighborhood who went to Ruđer? I guess I'm wondering why I'm even laying all this out for you. 🙂

Honestly, you're making this sound like you're just recounting some movie plot... 🤷

Henry Adams3 said:Yeah, pain medication. And he wasn't just popping those for fun. To me, this suggests the kid wasn't just beaten up—he was brutally, violently assaulted.

Man, seriously, everyone needs to wake up here. All the groups, all of us—we need to actually do something. It’s honestly sickening to watch what the guys in blue are being allowed to get away with.

Exactly...

The kid was taking PAIN medication. PAIN.

And I mean, goodness, you really don't even have to think too hard to connect the dots here...

Peter Barrett said:so you've got the Demons, the Boys, the Armada, and the Black Knights all hitting the streets on the exact same day in the exact same city 🤣

and by some weird coincidence, they all just happen to get along perfectly, right? 🤣

First off, I don't see how that’s even possible—those guys would work overtime to make sure nothing goes smoothly. And honestly, if there were an actual protest, I think we have to be realistic here... they'd probably end up taking each other out before anything else happens. 🙄

What's your deal?? 🙂

1. Bold—yeah, okay, and? It wouldn't be the first time.

2. —They don't even need to like each other.

3. — 🙂Do you actually realize what we're talking about here??

It feels just like back in the 90s during the Canjuga era... you could go pretty much anywhere except for Max. 🙂

That’s some seriously great Old School work right there...

Hey guys, quick question for you...

I just had this sudden memory of a little sticker my dad used to have on his old Chevy—he probably slapped it on back in '82 when the team won the championship...

It's clearly that old mascot from the team's glory days...

(I know a few years back there was a banner with that little guy up in the North Stand, and everyone was joking that it looked like Niko Kranjčar)

Anyway... does anyone happen to know who actually designed that mascot? Does anyone have any old photos of it? Like, does this little character even have a name?

Feel free to send me a PM if you know.

Thanks.

That’s actually just a photo from a paintball match...

🤣

p.s. maybe somewhere near that article, in those tiny little print fonts, it says "sponsored content" or something along those lines...

placidbadger58 said:I guess if you just bring up that whole situation with the Tulians, he’ll probably just leave you alone—it might actually be enough to get him off your back. ☕

I guess I'm just not quite following that joke—I don't think I really get what they're going for there. 😢

☕

Jesse Campbell said:Brooklyn, hang in there!

Man, I honestly don't get this whole joke about hanging in there. 🤷

🤣

neonraven112 said:Way to go!

Honestly, major respect there... 🙏

I can see where both sides are coming from, more or less...

Like someone else mentioned earlier—I mean, what kind of fan culture would it even be without those kinds of intense moments? I get the whole "die-hard" side of things...

But honestly, when you're talking about Warsaw and the people who live there, I think we all have a responsibility to be a bit more sensitive—to be more thoughtful and maybe think twice before jumping in...

The banner specifically names a city that stood its ground against an invasion of our own country, a place that paid one of the highest prices imaginable for the freedom we have today...

🤷

At the very least, if that really was the case, I hope it stays just that—nothing more than a pure, localized clash between rival fans...

Just my two cents...

A quick note from San Diego... 🙏

My bad if I already said this, but I honestly think the picture is pretty cool 😉

Go 🙏 ahead, guys... let's get after it.

Mark Carter10 said:I guess you could say we'll be throwing a massive celebration once we finally see the downfall of Jerry Jones—we’re talking full-on festivities, plenty of dessert, and maybe even some wilder entertainment to mark the occasion when that day finally comes.😁

Man, you really need to watch what you say—seriously. If things keep going this way, you might actually end up with the cops knocking on your door over this stuff. You don't want to end up like that kid who got caught up in that whole mess on Facebook...

😉

I really wish I could just laugh this off as some kind of joke—it would be so much better if what I wrote wasn't actually the truth...

Larry Campbell33 said:Honestly, I thought it was pretty decent yesterday,

there were moments where it felt almost euphoric—though, I guess, there were some parts that felt a bit off,

and of course, there was that massive amount of pyrotechnics lighting up the stands again.

Watching it on TV, it actually looked quite good to me... the chanting, the flares, the signs... everything seemed spot on.

David Young62 said:God, I saw this on Craigslist, some guy is trying to flip it... 🤣 🙏

Wait, wasn't that you?

haha, no way—it wasn't me, I'm more likely the one actually looking to buy it😉

Now this... this is what I call a jersey! 👍

All those pieces—the art that people actually put their heart, soul, time, and money into—just gone in five minutes under a few coats of paint... 👎

Man... 🙏

Brenda Cook2 said:Not enough... 😁 Here's one from my stash just for us 😉

That second-to-last Segesta jersey is a total disaster—honestly, the current Legein one isn't much better (the North Korea national team kit looks almost identical, minus the crest, obviously)

I think my favorite Segesta kit has to be that Umbro one from four years ago with the horizontal red stripes (kind of like the Boston Celtic style)

I think this new Umbro collection is actually pretty great.

The Collar 🙏
