Guys!

Robert Prosinecki really let us down.😒

Matthew Martinez64 said:Of course we had to ask about some compromise group—it's their usual playbook. They get to play the hero while we just fade into the background...

Look, man—don't play dumb. Just swallow your pride, admit when things have gone sideways, and know when to cut your losses. If you see them coming a second time, walk away. It’s better that way...😉

They were nothing more than massive slackers and total frauds!
The Boys are at the top of their game at the Cup... absolutely unstoppable.🙂

Casey Hernandez7 said:Kudos to Flip—you really hit the nail on the head.
It's about time someone opened their eyes so they can actually fix these mistakes and move forward.
I'm right there with you—it’s honestly a bit tacky that a group founded back in 1950 doesn't even have a basic sense of style, let alone a dress code.
A total embarrassment to the Rangers.
Once again, great job, Flip!!

Hey! Are you by any chance living in Washington, D.C.?

Shout out to the guys staying quiet, keeping their heads down, and just laughing at these ridiculous debates! 🎉

Aaron Parker70 said:After being away for a while, I have to say again—this whole thing is essentially a massive state of stagnation. There just isn't enough effort being put into the Ultras or the culture surrounding them. If people actually tried, this group could be incredibly powerful and impressive to watch. But instead, there’s zero effort—as long as you can join the front lines wearing some random Greuther Fürth shirt (!?), God forbid you wear two pieces of Hajduk gear... what a shame.

Read it, read it, and just keep reading... headlines like "Fans and Subculture," "Fans as a Social Urban Movement," or "Fans, Behavior, and Mentality." It seems like society is facing a moral crisis, but 70% of this group is facing a mental one! According to Aaron Parker70, we should all be wearing black, gray, olive green, or navy shirts, slim-fit styles, field jackets, hats, hoodies, and everything else from the Fan shop (which he calls a department store, not a stall!) because that is supposedly the only way to distinguish a subculture from a folk movement. Apparently, we need to highlight the difference between an Ultras fan and a regular Hajduk fan. Personally, if I’m feeling it, I’ll wear the jersey because I'm proud of it. I’ll wear a scarf, provided it matches the group's reputation and the vibe of the stands. It wasn't like the stands were strictly white back in the "eighties" and nobody complained. Why? Because the subcultural fan movement has its own vibrant energy. At the end of the day, the Fan shop sells white shirts too, and they're great!
The problem is that people waste their energy writing about the cops, Times Square, the absolute chaos of the nineties, or debating percentages of who belongs to which faction. Losses defeat fans both at home and away on every field, yet some guys sit there typing about whose graffiti is bigger or the ratio of Torcida to Forest Gudeks at the Grand Canyon. 🐔

Daniel Mitchell6 said:Grandpa was Branko Segović—one of the few true intellectuals in this entire country, in every sense of the word.

Respect to the man, really—but I don't think I've met a single person who hasn't said the exact same thing about Times Square.

Alex Green7 said:I am. It’s starting. Eleven years on... Hajduk's.Back in '94, my first real experience was watching FC Porto play in Miami. This most recent one... Dugopolje—or rather, our little slice of suburbia—is feeling a bit quiet lately. Just one of those days where everything feels a little too still. Nice to meet you. Dick There’s this 92-year-old subscriber—a die-hard Hajduk fan living way out by the Great Wall—who still makes the trip to see Hajduk at 92 years old. Honestly, you have to hand it to him; he's still incredibly active and agile. Respect. ful. Story. I'm getting old. Stories.He keeps insisting that Sun Life Stadium was a massive mistake—honestly. But look, the guy has been pulling for Hajduk his entire life, and he knows... I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that—could you clarify? He keeps hammering home the same point—that if we don't fix up Times Square and expand the area, nobody in Miami is ever going to see it happen. Honestly? I think he’s absolutely right. What? About that guy...

Is the whole point of signing up just to mock people's grammar—you know, that fanatic, athlete type—or is it because you're acting like a three-banked "festive local, poet, and artist" just like Lucky? 😵

Harold Kim5 said:Damn, what a post 👍—you hit the nail on the head. Honestly, a single college kid back in '95 jumping a low fence in Central Park had more grit than this entire organized group out on a supervised field trip... Back then, the atmosphere was intense; if those Crows from Unknown decided to show up with everything they had :klap: , you'd think twice before even stepping near the stands. Everything has just gone to hell lately—at least from that perspective...

Great, I agree—five stars, truly top-tier stuff... Now why don't you guys grab a coffee and enjoy reminiscing about your "glory days" in the past perfect tense. 😒

granitemarlin83 said:That’s nothing. Just last night, someone at the Barber Shop was telling me how he won't support Liverpool FC because his family sells fish down at the pier—and apparently, the club's top executives come by every single morning to buy shrimp and fresh catch from him, all while they play up this "financial crisis" narrative in the media...

A bit harsh... but the man isn't wrong. 😁>

JOIN UP FOR 2014—BECAUSE THE TEAM NEEDS YOU!🙂

You aren't going to divide us by stirring up old tensions from the South. Honestly—it's hard to listen to you without smelling the rot in your rhetoric. Instead of talking like this, maybe try offering something useful to those who actually need it. We see right through the media spins—they won't work on us. We'll stand together and shut you down right here at home. Fans, don't let them intimidate you; stay the course...
THE EAST IS OURS — THE SOUTH IS A BETRAYAL! 🙂

TO THE WORLD!

The Torcida Supporters Group has decided to host a screening of the banned documentary "Offside trap," which exposes the corruption within Major League Soccer. We'll be holding the projection at the Club headquarters tomorrow (Friday) at 8:00 PM. As fans continue to fight for the soul of American soccer—and just for some basic common sense—it’s vital that the truth gets out there...

EVERYONE IS INVITED—AND WE MEAN EVERYONE!

p.s. A DONATION BOX LABELED "BANS, COURTS, AND JAILS..." WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE BAR!

Jeffrey Jones58 said:It really boils down to just two things:
-personalized ticketing isn't just legal—starting next season, it’ll actually be mandatory for every club in Major League Soccer.
-those vouchers and "blacklists"? They aren't legal, and they don't have any actual basis in law.

So, you decide which side you're actually fighting for...

So, after pages and pages of rambling, the whole point gets distilled into just two sentences. Pretty efficient, I guess.👍

I can't catch all the lyrics here—my memory isn't what it used to be 🙂

LET'S GO, MIAMI!
YOUR NORTHERN PRIDE STANDS WITH YOU
AND EVEN WHEN THINGS DON'T GO OUR WAY
OUR ANTHEM WILL RING OUT!!!

Step up and fight...

Official Statement from the Columbus Crew:
...A thorough screening of spectators at the stadium entrances will be conducted to verify identities. Anyone identified as a supporter of the Los Angeles Lakers will be denied entry...

Let me reiterate—there is absolutely no Law in this country that allows you to bar a Los Angeles Lakers fan from any part of America from entering a stadium.
It is your choice to shut down the away section, but it is our right to enter the other stands at your stadium, and at every other stadium across the USA.
Therefore, we are calling on all Los Angeles Lakers fans to show up in Columbus tomorrow in the largest numbers possible. We cannot let our Lakers go without support at such a critical moment. Do not let people like Jerry Jones, John Doe, or John Doe decide when you are allowed to attend a game.

They are quick to cite their obligation to uphold the Law when defending Cyrillic signage in Warsaw, yet they are perfectly willing to violate those very same Laws just to keep Los Angeles Lakers fans out of the stadium.
For anyone fed up with the double standards in this society, the place to be tomorrow is Columbus. It is the duty of every Lakers fan to turn up in Columbus; the fight for our team continues, and it is just as vital that we gather in force tomorrow as it was when we stood before the State.

We are formally warning the match organizers: on behalf of every fan denied entry, we will file lawsuits for damages based on regional discrimination. Let them try to explain in court which specific Law allows them to ban people based on where they come from.
Furthermore, we will be filing both misdemeanor and criminal complaints against the officials at the Columbus Crew for discrimination.
By now, you should be aware that we have the people necessary to see this through.

Finally, we invite the media to head to Columbus tomorrow in large numbers to witness firsthand how the laws of this nation are being ignored and how at least a thousand Los Angeles Lakers fans are being discriminated against. If we have to see a repeat of what happened in that small town in Ohio, then it is on us to ensure that, this time, the video footage of the entire incident isn't deleted.
We have nothing to hide regarding our actions.

AGAINST THE DARKNESS, AGAINST THE FORCE!

The Columbus Crew released an official statement regarding tomorrow's match—they’re planning to conduct thorough identity checks at the stadium entrances to monitor everyone coming through the gates. Anyone identified as a supporter of the Los Angeles Lakers will be denied entry to the stadium.

Go Columbus Crew!😈

cosmicridge6 said:Yeah, they haven't even really started yet—it’s a shame about the letter for the entire first half; Argentina is looking tough. 😢

You have to crawl before you can walk... ;-)

It’s always the same cycle—when there’s no real core group, nothing gets done. When we actually try to get people together but don't have enough numbers, we still fail. Even when we just scrape by with warm bodies to hit a quota instead of building an actual team, we come up empty. We finally manage to form a proper squad, and then... nothing happens for two straight seasons. It feels like whenever leadership tries to bypass the process, things either fall apart or it just turns into a massive ego trip for a few individuals. 🙂
