... they'll lay down flowers..... I remember their banner.. but I had no idea things were being swapped out at the eleventh hour. Regardless, it was a decent away trip, felt more like a little excursion.. 🍿

been there, done that...

The five of us were grinding our way out of a small town in the Midwest on a 5:00 AM train... we ended up hopping off at almost every third stop, from the Great Chapel to Small town, USA, then through more small towns, all the way to Long Village. Once we finally made it to NYC, the real Wild West show started in the rural outskirts; just endless roadside diners, horse farms, local delicacies, and old-school vibes everywhere you looked...
As for how we actually managed to get back home to SB, I can't even recall... it was a beautiful trip, if I remember correctly, the entire stadium was cheering for our choreography dedicated to Warsaw 👏

Jesse Campbell said:Look, I am not the ultimate decision-maker in this group. My input is simply a forum post from an older member who has observed things from the sidelines. That doesn't mean I'm out of the loop or disconnected from what is actually happening. You correctly pointed out that my opinion remains unchanged regardless of what someone else writes. It is clear you are a sharp individual.

In any case, I believe the more pressing issue right now isn't whether leadership is supposedly ignoring certain people; it is the fact that far too few people are actually contributing to the workload. Before anyone starts complaining about being heard, they should first ask themselves how they can step up and help.

Let’s look at the indoor soccer project, which has been unanimously hailed as perhaps one of the greatest initiatives in the history of BBB. Do you honestly think all of this just happens by magic? People are working themselves to the bone to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Right now, we are the most watched club in the city, yet we have zero employees. GNK Dinamo has 220, New York Cosmos has 45, and Cleveland Montانية has zero.

That is why the first thing you all need to do is ask how I can personally help make this operation even better and lighten the load for those who are currently breaking their backs to keep us afloat. Do you follow me?

I hear you... But you also have to understand that many of the younger members are intimidated by the way some of the older crowd carries themselves (it gets pretty intense, sometimes involving verbal lashings or even physical confrontations if someone speaks up at the wrong moment—especially when voicing an opinion that isn't popular). But hey, who am I to speak for them? No one stood up for me back when I was sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen... Everything else you said stands, and I accept it as it is. I have stayed as active as possible, though coincidentally, I’ve been living in a different city for the last eleven months, so I haven't been in the thick of it. Regardless, I am going to try to push myself toward a more active role once I am back...

Peace and quiet, everyone; nobody is to blame here, everything is fine, no harm done 👏
So, Mickey? 🙂

Jesse Campbell said:As far as that "Should Be" crowd goes—the ones who aren't just Mamić's little instigators—they’re either a bunch of lazy slackers doing absolutely nothing all day, or they're just some unrefined kids who need to grow up and eat a few more meals before they should even be allowed to have an opinion...

I am absolutely certain that anyone who has backstabbed this group over the last few years will either be held accountable or face a full interrogation by the guys running things today...

Look, the point isn't just to throw out random suggestions for the sake of hearing ourselves talk. We don't have enough people on this committee to be playing around and catering to anyone's pipe dreams. This group isn't some social circle of fair-weather friends here to nod along. If you're going to bring an idea to the table, you better have a practical solution ready to go alongside it...

For instance, I find myself in agreement with the sentiment expressed here that the group’s media presence is incredibly lackluster, which is a massive oversight. However, my approach wouldn't be to point fingers at specific leadership members or suggest they handle it themselves; instead, I’d simply get together with my own guys and find someone capable to step up as our spokesperson...

It really boils down to this: problem leads to solution. Your ideas don't mean a damn thing if you aren't actually prepared to step up and execute them...

Of course you have to present an idea alongside its actual solution; I mean, what other way is there to do it? You can't just throw out a concept and then, when someone asks for your take on it, dodge the question by saying, "Don't ask me, I'm just making suggestions..." 🙄 I probably went about this all the wrong way yesterday, and maybe I chose the wrong place to air my grievances, but I refuse to accept the logic being thrown around here. I am tired of the narrative that if I’m not some paid provocateur working for Mamić, then I must be some useless bystander or just some kid who’s never stepped up for the group—someone who supposedly doesn't even have a right to an opinion...
It’s funny—everything else you wrote, I actually agree with, more than I probably should... even if we don't always see eye to eye on everything else... 🙂

Zgmarac said:I’m not suggesting you're some corporate shill—I couldn't possibly know that. It just seems suspicious seeing all these new accounts popping up where the very first post is nothing but criticism, and they all seem to share the exact same tone... Look, I agree that certain things could have been handled differently, but there is absolutely no way I’m going to sit here and talk trash or offer "suggestions" from the comfort of my couch if it isn't done with respect for the people out there actually dealing with all this nonsense...

The username is new because I deactivated my old account, but I’ve been on this forum for ages. My intention wasn't to provoke anyone or pull a prank, nor was it strictly meant to be a critique—if that were the case, I would have cited specific incidents, names, and facts. As for this idea that we all share an "identical tone," I can't say anything because I don't know who you're referring to. However, I do believe there is a massive influx of people arriving from all directions whose sole purpose is to stir the pot and spit venom. They come from everywhere: from paid mercenaries to those working for the local police, or even just random trolls who don't even know which side they're supposed to be on... That wasn't my intent. I simply wanted to state my perspective, and I believe I did so appropriately by not leaking sensitive information or naming individuals that affect everyone. Furthermore, I wasn't being insulting, cynical, or ironic in any way that would warrant someone hurling insults at me—which, apparently, is what some people felt the need to do a mere five or six seconds after my initial post..
I stand by my point: lately, whenever anyone expresses a view that deviates from the majority, they are met with far more toxicity than they deserve. There is a massive difference between attacking everything someone tries to build or dismissing constructive ideas out of pure ignorance, versus reacting to a completely harmless suggestion or a simple observation...
