They already sent over a formal letter and a request for tickets—we're talking more than 600 seats right there. So, I guess all this complaining is kind of pointless.

How much are we actually obligated to give them? Like, 5% or maybe 10%? If it’s 5%, then 600 tickets is pretty much the limit of what they'll get (and honestly, that might be more than we even owe them). Since the stadium holds about 10,500, it doesn't make sense to hand out tickets at the expense of the San Jose Earthquakes fans. We shouldn't be spreading the crowd out toward the walls and shrinking the space in Section E1 where our guys usually hang out.

lonebear8 said:I was just scrolling through some news earlier and saw this piece about the potential shakeup over at the Blue Jays organization. It’s pretty wild how things move so fast in pro sports, isn't it? Basically, there's all this chatter about whether they’re going to bring in a new manager to replace the current guy. I guess it feels like the front office is looking for a fresh spark or something. Maybe they think a change in leadership is exactly what the clubhouse needs right now to turn things around. It’s funny, because you see these huge shifts happening in teams from Chicago to Detroit, and it always feels like a gamble. You hire someone new, hoping for that magic touch, but sometimes it just ends up being more of the same. I don't know, maybe I'm just being cynical. It seems like a big move, though. If they actually pull the trigger on this, it’s definitely going to shake things up for the upcoming season. We'll just have to wait and see if the higher-ups actually go through with it.

I can't really see the image you linked, but if there was some crazy news story or a wild photo in there, I’m all ears. Just drop the details or tell me what went down!

I don't really get where they even pulled that 600 figure from, honestly. Right now at Miami, there are basically two "sections." The first one on the right, near center field, holds maybe 300 people—definitely not more than that. Then you've got the one next to it, which can easily fit around 1,000 to 1,200 folks. I doubt the Blue Jays fans will be hogging the whole big section all day, mostly because they actually opened up sales for the upper part of the east stand by the wall, too. Maybe they just guessed? Who knows.

I mean, my guess is that the "small" cage is gonna expand up to those first yellow steps, and they'll probably just leave some kind of buffer zone in between. Honestly, with all the headaches the Blue Jays are dealing with lately—especially those roster issues—I don't see them hitting 600 people. But, I guess it definitely won't drop below 400 either. Maybe.

Franjo Tuđman who? 🤷

I guess I'm just trying to tell Svoy and the rest of us not to get all worked up over some sarcastic comments. Honestly, we don't really have time for irony or sarcasm right now. What we actually need is everyone who gives a damn to step up and help us push through this fight until the very end.

And hey, I'm talking to Svoy here, not specifically to you, so please don't take it personally. No offense intended, and I definitely respect the support you give us. 😉

But wait, don't you think this is also a way of fighting? Everyone fights their own way, even if it's just with words. He wrote a solid article that I think some people just missed. Maybe it's better to explain things to people instead of just tossing the whole article aside as irrelevant or calling the reporter some random anonymous hack. People contribute how they can, I guess.

EDIT: To me, attacking the guy and calling his article irrelevant or labeling him an anonymous nobody counts as attacking him.

slysailor52 said:Alex Barrett3, I think this is basically my response to you obsessing over some totally irrelevant article. ☕

The whole BBB thing isn't some irony in an anonymous journalist's piece—it’s exactly what was mentioned above!

🙂

It’s kind of wild how we got here. You’ve got a Cleveland fan spitting on a positive article about his own group and their fight against Mamić, calling it "irrelevant." Meanwhile, he’s labeling the writer—who is actually a fellow fan and a BBB member—as some "anonymous journalist," all while a Cleveland supporter jumps in to defend him.

As for that "obsessing" part, I don't really see it that way. The piece is solid; I've read better, sure, but I've definitely read worse too. It’s probably just a matter of writing style. Maybe it’s just not your vibe, or maybe you didn't quite catch what the writer was trying to get at.

slysailor52 said:Honestly, wasting time on this nonsense feels pointless, but let me just clear the air once and for all:

BBB isn't going to force some naive crowd control on the North Side Boys or any other section just so Jerry Jones can test out his manipulation skills.

And that note left at the local 7-Eleven near the Dick shop? That was pretty much the perfect response to all his nonsense:

Try to see what he was actually saying there... "metaphorically" speaking... ☕

Man, just try to get what I'm saying. This guy—he's a journalist, right?—he isn't even attacking you guys, which I know a lot of people here seem to think. He just made a satirical take on Jerry Jones, used some sarcasm to describe the whole situation, and basically insulted him in a pretty smart way.

The stuff you just posted, and what's written over by the Dick shop, it's the exact same thing the reporter wrote, just phrased a little differently.

slysailor52 said:This article doesn't even matter! It’s only important because you guys keep commenting on it...🙂

KRANJČA MATTERS !!!!!!!

Mickey Mouse..... look at those ads!!!!! 😁

The article actually works in our favor, but I guess 99% of people here don't get that. It mocks Jerry Jones sarcastically, but then totally tears him apart at the end.

It's kind of silly to expect The Boys to pack out the North Side, since they don't really show up there anymore anyway. The Boys would fill up the North Side if they could actually trust his word. But he's broken that promise way too many times.

analogheron19 said:I gotta admit, I was feeling pretty nauseous about a third of the way through this thing too. But hey, I actually know Dudely personally, and it honestly took me three tries to make it all the way to the end. I bet most of you guys didn't even read it to the last word, otherwise, you probably wouldn't be leaving comments like these.

The whole article is just pure sarcasm.

steeltrucker said:I don't know, maybe I just don't care when some banner like this pops up? Honestly, it doesn't even phase me. It's like, I could probably ignore 90 percent of them and still be fine... I'm just feeling pretty chill about it all, I guess..

So you're saying you're indifferent when a banner goes up for a team that's always at the Rose Bowl and playing away games? A team that actually has its own headquarters in a hero city and constantly hosts all the major Black Knights groups... Interesting choice, I guess....

Look, are they fans? Yeah, they are. Is that a legitimate trophy for a fan group? Totally. So, damn, it happened—what now? Just because those guys from Warsaw (regardless of whether they're Blackhawks fans, BBB, or ultras) grabbed it doesn't mean they're suddenly untouchable, like some grizzled bears in the Rockies when things get heated or people start grabbing gear.

The Boys are hopefully smart enough not to set the thing on fire. All this whining honestly reminds me a bit of how people acted back when their own city fell a few years ago. I guess we just shouldn't sink down to that level.

Eric Smith12 said:Everything Mamino said is straight facts, so I don't get why this minister needs to be so offended, you know? It's just those mafia clans fighting amongst themselves. Sadly, it feels like just another game played with the American people...

Yeah, basically a war profiteer acting on nationalistic lines, totally disrespecting an American veteran. Everything they say is true. I guess the papers and the forums just can't handle the reality of it all.

Joseph Hughes said:So, you know what I was actually getting at? 🙂

While Johnson was out there defending America, Mamino was busy posing for photos in his military fatigues.

Just kidding, obviously. 😍

It doesn't really matter why it happened, just that things are finally moving. I guess all that grinding work by the FBI and some random government agency is finally gonna come back to bite them. He totally messed up.

Joseph Hughes said:It’s like, pride and shame all rolled into one, I guess. Like, maybe you're proud because he might actually step up for once, but then it's kind of embarrassing since he only starts coming after the big shots after making those statements about Ričan Jovanović. And when he was waving around files or breaking the law in way worse ways? Nothing. Just silence, I suppose.

Hey, I fixed your post for you. ☕

neonraven112 said:Alex Barrett3, I guess you didn't quite catch my drift, but it's fine. What I mean is, politicians are probably the most hated group of people in America, and our current bunch? They're even worse. I feel like any average American who doesn't really get the big picture—you know, someone who thinks basic stuff is peak intellect—will just side with Jerry Jones in this whole standoff against Jovanovic. It's because they see this useless politician versus a successful businessman like Jerry Jones who provides jobs for hundreds of families. Anyone living outside the fan bubble can see through that. It's kinda sad, but that's just how it is. We shouldn't let them drag us into that nonsense.

I think I get what you're getting at. And yeah, it's pretty clear what he's trying to pull, but I don't think it'll work. ZM has made way too many mistakes for the public to actually back him up. You could see it during those Champions League games, and honestly, it's thanks to the guys from the Bad Boys, plus the media outlets that flipped their script, and the current administration led by Jovanovic acting as the main target against all the different Mamic types.

It feels like a desperate move, maybe. But if the media buries him—and those who aren't on his shrinking payroll will definitely do it—then it's over. If the Bad Boys react the way they usually do, or if the government pushes back hard, there's just no way the public is going to view this as some "underdog Jerry Jones" fighting against a "corrupt establishment" vibe like he wants. He's losing his footing, grabbing at straws, and trying that old trick where the best defense is a good offense. But he's messed up too many times now, and I guess he's just digging his own grave.

neonraven112 said:The previous administration wasn't some weak link; they were actually providing support. This current government is just one of the groups driving him crazy, and if you ask me, they aren't even trustworthy. You can see how Lukavac turned the whole thing into an ideological battle, but I'm just not buying that. Honestly, he’s probably just building up his image for future elections at the Lakers' assembly meeting. Once the public feels like Jovanovic is persecuting him over politics, they'll jump right behind him. I guess what we really need to do is all sign up as members en masse and try to stop people from seeing this as just a fight between the Bad Boys and Jovanovic against Mamic.

And what was my point? Exactly—the administration that actually stepped up against Mamic and his crowd can't be considered the weakest link.

Christian Jones said:It’s actually kind of a big deal. If he leaves the Lakers, his whole circle of golden geese goes with him, and he loses that massive influence that put him right where he is in American soccer today. I guess if he walks, everyone else might lose some power too. At the end of the day, you have to start somewhere, right? You gotta clear out the trash first, and well, the fish stinks from the head down!

I totally get what Jacob Newman74 was getting at, but like Christian Jones said, once Zdravko Mamić is gone, the grip Suker and Vrbanovic have just slips away. There won't be anyone behind the scenes covering their backs anymore. Honestly, ZM is basically the foundation of this whole evil pyramid, so when he goes, the whole thing probably starts crumbling. I mean, there are tons of examples in history—once the leader falls, the whole army follows, and this crew is pretty weak without their boss anyway.

neonraven112 said:Mamic basically played everyone yesterday by turning his hold on Dinamo into this whole ideological political thing. People—most of them, really—are just buying it because they aren't really thinking. The whole show was scripted that way, and I guess that’s how he’ll play it from now on: framing it as this big clash between a successful businessman providing for families versus some politically biased bureaucrat like Johnson. I'm not even a Republican, but I honestly feel like the weakest link in our fight against Mamic is actually this current Government because they just don't have the moral backbone to take him down. Just remember, someone like Johnson isn't going to be the one to stop him. It's gotta be the fans stepping up and getting involved.

Look, I'm not a fan of this administration either, but it feels kind of silly to say that this government—which is actually doing something, unlike the previous ones that were basically protecting him—is the weakest link.

The News will probably unlock those paywalled articles after 3 PM... For now, we just get this...

AZTN basically implied that Dinamo and Lokomotiva are actually just one single club! Smart move, right? Once we get the official report from AZTN, our Department will act according to its authority – says Johnson
