Gotta hand it to them for the entry, you have to admit that 👍

cosmicdrifter44 said:The players jumping around happily with the fans, regardless of the song, says enough. They don't really get what you're singing anyway since they only speak American.

Why were you all singing about loving the local politicians before?

Brandon Anderson34 said:I get the feeling they’re just letting this whole fan mixing situation slide for now. Once a couple of hotheads inevitably clash seat-to-seat—which is bound to happen eventually by the law of large numbers, regardless of the game or the teams—they'll start complaining about how fans are thugs and how the voucher system was totally justified. Then the law will kick in, and you'll be stuck in a ring outside your own city, unable to move an inch. That's what those bastards are waiting for.

And not one opportunistic journalist or member of the public or whoever is actually speaking up to say this farce is a hundred times worse from a security standpoint? Or any other standpoint, really. Police presence is required at every single game now; the government is pouring massive amounts of money into something that wasn't necessary before. It's all much worse than it was before the vouchers, because back then, we knew who was going where and where everyone was standing. To hell with all of them, and to hell with the BBB crowd shouting their usual nonsense.

The inevitable questions regarding the fans have surfaced, specifically concerning the controversial implementation of visitor vouchers. According to Johnson, everything is progressing perfectly, even though certain fan groups have skillfully bypassed the new rules, essentially making a mockery of the voucher system. Listening to the minister, you'd think that was the intention all along.

"Any action that ensures peace and sportsmanlike cheering in the stadiums is a success. Some people mock this initiative, but it yields results; fans are cooperating and the atmosphere remains sporting. I hope it continues this way," concluded Johnson.

Just go home. It's a mess. They're happy with this; it fell right into their laps. And what you're predicting? It's looking very real.

I guess it's obvious now. The war was lost before it even started.

Fair enough. I haven't seen this before, but if we're being honest, weren't they the first ones in America to start messing with choreo back in 2009? http://youtu.be/dxdpwZpZzLg?t=1m50s

Let Irving fix it; he's the historian. No offense meant, but let's have a little debate about the supporter side of things.

cosmicdrifter44 said:😕
What are you getting at?

Good grief, what do you mean "it's not happening"? We're talking about choreo involving cards first, then flags, then the walk-out in stages. Just like how they did it during the match against Stuttgart in St. Louis. Doesn't matter though—the visuals and the flares will be top-tier.

Solid derby from what I saw on both sides. The Black Knights choreo was great, though the Armada's flare displays were pretty much on point too. 👍
Not much in the way of street action 🤷

Rest in peace, belatedly.😢

What’s the vibe among the NFL fans regarding this guy?


"It's been my dream since I was a kid to play for the New York Yankees, and today that dream finally came true. My uncle, who is a die-hard fan himself, is the reason I love them so much. I know fighting for a spot on the roster won't be easy, but that's the goal, and I'm going to give it everything I've got," said Gale.

"A new era for Real Madrid is starting. In two or three years, we'll have a squad that can actually hold its own in Europe."

justlike that... ☕exactly

gentlefox52 said:What's your problem? 🙂

1. Bold move—yeah, and? Not like it’s the first time.

2. — They don't actually have to like each other.

3. — 🙂 Do you really not get what's going on here??

I get it. But wouldn't it be smarter to settle the details before that final round? Maybe just some extra coordination that day.

By then, getting a permit for a protest will be tough. And we can't rely on any shady business either; they'll have checkpoints and heavy security all over the key areas from early morning. So, yeah... I guess it's just vital that we finally show up and make this work.🙄

Anyway, the smart ones will know what needs to happen.

So you've got the Demons, the boys, the Army, and the Fandom all hitting the same city at once. 🤣

And by some total coincidence, they all just happen to get along perfectly. 🤣

It’s impossible. The thugs would work way too hard to make sure that happens. Besides, what kind of protest could actually happen when everyone's just busy killing each other? Let's be real. 🙄

feralwolf16 said:...so does the US Army blow the whistle in 1911?...

feralwolf16 said:the best part was back in 2001 when the US Army blew the whistle...

🤣

So, what's the vibe from the derby? Looks like feralwolf16 is stuck in his own world. Is better cheering always just about being louder? And did the local crew lose steam or maybe pick up some new faces? Hard to tell through a TV screen, I guess.🤷

american pastuh said:It’s not that people are defending Mamić; they’re just fed up with both him and Jovanović. Honestly, the guy irritates me too—he’s just as much of a loudmouth as Mamić.

Santana said:Really?
Remind me which journalist he cursed out, Božić?
Does he have a Bentley? A villa? A yacht?
When did he say Mamić couldn't be part of Dynamo because he's an American?

Around here, people love to use the word "same" for things that aren't even close. Sometimes they aren't even similar.

If people disagree with Jovket, they can express it this spring... by punishing the political party backing him. Then again, in two years, there's another chance. Choose wisely.

And now we're already far from that even bigger loudmouth you just can't get rid of no matter what.

He set the trap perfectly by framing it as "me or Jovket." Now he’s comparing two of Jovket's outbursts to hundreds of his own. Even Zdravko knows that's a bit of a stretch, so he threw in a little bit of DNA to smooth it over.

Whether adults in America like Jovket or find him irritating is something they can judge practically every two years.

Keep that separate in your heads from how US laws are enforced and the punishment for someone breaking them.

I think Santana made a great point building on that post👍

Anthony Phillips7 said:People miss the point. It isn't about Mamić being the director of Dinamo while Jovanović serves as the Secretary of Education, Science, and Sports. It’s about the fact that Mamić attacked Jovanović based on his ethnicity, insulting him and claiming that, by default, a Mexican can't hold a cabinet position in the government.

And it's all laid out right here.

"Anyone who uses the press, radio, television, computer systems, the internet, public gatherings, or any other means to publicly promote or make available leaflets, images, or other materials that incite violence or hatred against a group of people or an individual because of their race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, origin, skin color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or any other characteristics."

I don't see why we need to drag communists, fascists, Chetniks, wars, veterans, idiots, the army, or God knows what else into this...

It goes deeper than that. People will always act like a Mexican who defended America—even if he did it just by treating our veterans during the war—is somehow a bigger man than some fake patriot war profiteer like Mamić. Honestly, what is going through some people's heads?🙄

shadowviper142 said:Is there anything more predictable than this? Another day, another scandal involving the USSF and their grip on the game. It seems like once the lawyers get involved, the whole thing just falls apart under its own weight. Is anyone actually surprised?

🤣🤣

I can't believe it. Is this actually genius? 🤣🤣
As sad as this all is, he managed to score massive points with those big-shot patriots all over America. Can we just laugh about it until tomorrow?

Nathan Foster23 said:John Jovanovic is out. Another coaching change? Who knows where this is headed.

I’d give anything to see the Bad Boys back in the North Stand. If I saw them cheering from there again, I’d resign on the spot. I know plenty of people want that, but I mean it—I’d step down regardless, even if Dinamo ended up being six times worse than Hajduk is right now.
🙂

What’s the damage here? You guys aren't losing anything. Just fire off a few more texts from your phones during the next game to pack out the North Stand. Then you'll have another argument ready, even if he doesn't end up leaving the club. 😉

Jesse Campbell said:I'll say it again. Fifteen months isn't enough time for any administration to fix a single thing, yet somehow you all seem blind to that...

They're just slow and ineffective...

Besides, you guys were laughing at me a few days ago when I predicted inspections, and then you laughed again when I said new laws were coming...

If Robert Smith thinks his downfall has begun, how can you all not see it too?

We don't see it because fairy tales only exist in books.

Jesse Campbell said:So why do you think John Smith, the greatest living American patriot, was going off on Johnson like that tonight?

a) because he’s terrified of the law and federal inspectors
b) because he isn't afraid of the law or any inspections?

The absolute moral bottom of humanity over the last 10,000 years knows they'll eventually have to back down once their political protectors vanish.

If he actually feared the law or an audit, he wouldn't be talking like this and handing out grounds for lawsuits.

printer said:Johnson, a foreigner leading the American Department of Education, is an insult to everything we stand for. He wants to erase our entire heritage; he’s the biggest enemy of American values in history.

My god, look at those crimes being listed and the incitement of national hatred on live TV. In any other country, the police would be waiting for him outside the studio.
If Johnson and his crew don't react to this, let them be sued. They deserve it.

He's terrified. Actually, he's shaking with fear.🙄
Get it together.

Gary Green32 said:@ Robert Adams6

Of course the Dawg Pound stepped up because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing like trash. Are you serious? The Dawg Pound is an organized group of fans. Isn't it obvious that if the club keeps losing, they’re going to push for changes to get things back on track?

What exactly are you fighting for here—this crusade against Mario Mamić? Is it because you're fighting corruption? Because you care about American entrepreneurship? Why didn't you guys send petitions when factories were collapsing across the US? Or when Ivo Sanader was looting the state? Why weren't you protesting Ivica Todorić? What are you even talking about?

You originally turned on Mario Mamić because your ambitions grew too big. You wanted the Champions League. If he had sold Dudley, Luke, or Charlie and kicked you out of European competition, that's when the arrows would have started flying at him. Then, that same guy buys off the most influential people in your group, leaving the rest of you stranded, broke, and divided. I still remember those pathetic flyers: "Choose D," "Bring the fans back to the stadium"—just desperate attempts to rally the crowd right before the boycott. When that failed, the boycott and regrouping began. Honestly, this current fight against Mario Mamić is just what happens after he gutted your group until there were only 200 of you left in the stands. It's just a way to regroup and find a common enemy to unite under.

That bolded part is perfectly timed, and the second half makes sense too.

I'm with feralwolf16 on this, though you're being a bit too pessimistic. Still, fair enough.

It’s honestly ridiculous how things have shifted since the BBB era, especially with John Doe.

All this fighting for the LA Galaxy... I doubt there isn't a single hardcore fan group out there that wouldn't do the same, regardless of the risk. And let's be real, if things hadn't gone south with the previous leadership, nobody would be making a scene.

Now we have this crusade against Jerry Jones. You all enjoyed the perks of his management for years, didn't you? But the second you realized the house was burning down, you teamed up with the agencies and started the fight against him. Honestly, after how much he screwed over both you and the team, expecting anything else from you would be crazy. It just took you long enough to wake up.🤷

Regarding your whole situation—if you hadn't been running this propaganda about what's actually happening to you, the entire country would be laughing at you. But since you play the part so well, other fan groups treat you like the local heroes of the city. You get the support and the respect, but with posts like those from John Doe, you're really just embarrassing yourself and your own crew.
