Fair enough. 🙂

People will keep arguing about those banners forever until those four golden rules actually get passed.

"We jump in to back up a friend and things turn violent fast. The crew, led by those notorious Smith brothers, catches us off guard for a second, but they don't back down. Neither do we." 😲

you really sure about this? 🤷

🙂

The constant back-and-forth between the pro and anti-fan factions is getting a bit much, don't you think?😢

wearyraven25 said:The old strategy: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." 😉

I don't think wandering around with banners in small groups was ever the smart move, but looking back from where we stand now, there was at least a sense of adventure and romance to being an Ultras.
Now everything has swung to the other extreme, which might actually be worse for the fans than that 90s mentality.

🙄
It wasn't really about being smart or stupid; that was just how things were, and there wasn't much of a choice.
But I'll give you this: it was definitely romantic. 🙂

Honestly, if you compare the "weight" of the banners traveling around over the last decade to anything from back when people were touring for five or six years straight... 😉

The eras, the people, and the traditions are just incomparable. ☕

Everyone just fights with whatever tools they have at the time. 😁

🤷

It was just life. That’s how things actually went down back then. ☕

Jeremy Mitchell11 said:Maybe it’s just me. Everyone keeps saying it was easy to film the Chicago Blackhawks fans because they were walking around wide-eyed and clueless. You know the drill—some shady deal happening right at the border. I was there, just one single time, watching a banner pass right under their section. Some guys were even asking if anyone had any extra supplies. 🤣

😉

The guy running Real Madrid is looking at Article 13, Section 1 of the new Nonprofit Act that Congress hasn't even passed yet. It says this:

"An association's assembly consists of its members or representatives elected according to the Bylaws. If certain membership categories are defined by the Bylaws, they can specify that only specific categories make up the assembly or hold voting rights at meetings."

This could let Jerry Maguire strip certain groups within the club of their voting power through simple bylaw changes, essentially freezing the status quo.

Looks like the fix is already in. 😠

wiredfalcon2 said:What's the deal with that "go go Ustaše" nonsense?

🙄
trolling the public, the media, and the government 😁

Trolling is just posting provocative garbage to trigger a reaction. It’s all about derailing conversations or baiting people into mindless arguments just to make them look gullible, agitated, or pathetic. Trolling is toxic. Some people think it's funny, though.

Aaron Lee15 said:We need to stick together because these people have completely lost their minds. Reading this actually made my blood boil. Have they no shame?

You can only impress someone like you with stuff like this, since everyone knows exactly who they’re trying to frame.

ruggedowl13 said:How are those of us nowhere near the first team supposed to prepare? What if someone from San Francisco approaches me with a beer, and I instinctively deck them because I don't know anything about this truce? Who could actually live with that kind of shame? 🤷

🙂

Where are you even getting your info about this truce from? 🤷
Why would things be any different now? ☕

Another legend of the Ultras gone too soon in such a tragic way... just a kid from San Diego who lived for his team.

R. I. P. Petrinjac Petrinjac 😢

The funeral for Petrinjac is scheduled for Tuesday at 2:30 PM in Petrinja.

You aren't going to turn us into political pawns, and you won't use us to topple one administration or the next..
We’re here to tear down the corruption, the nepotism, and the mafia running US Soccer.. and we will succeed!!!!
And when we've had enough, once we've had our fill, we'll move together to shut down and destroy exactly what we're fighting against!! CLEAR ENOUGH?

😍 ☕

They want to silence our voices
and they try to crush us with new laws,
but every blow just makes us stronger—that's our message.
We'll keep fighting until the very end,
against their laws and their bans,
let them watch the sparks fly out of pure spite,
because those sparks are fueled by our resolve—that's what we tell them.
We'll fight until the end.

Aaron Bennett10 said:Fans usually have a tendency to live in a fantasy world. They think they’re crusaders for justice or warriors for their clubs, when their actual social impact is negligible. Most people just see them as nothing more than immature kids who’ve wasted their lives on delusions, if not worse. Maybe by fighting a system that actually oppresses people, they’d finally find some "meaning in life" and feel better about themselves.

I’m not trying to offend anyone, or anything like that.

🤣🤣🤣

all you need is cheap labor and seasoned brawlers who aren't intimidated by the cops☕

Not everyone gets a shot at pocketing a million 😢

electriccanyon15 said:This isn't the first time people have been drinking this stuff, and it won't be the last. The real issue? A bunch of naive idiots falling for the media hype that keeps dragging this out forever.

We’ve been drinking this on road trips for years. Back then, there were maybe 50 or 100 of us; now there are thousands, and suddenly everyone is acting shocked. Especially those "veterans" in their 30s and 40s who conveniently weren't around back then.
🥳🙈

Attention Torcida Supporters Club members and all Miami residents

We've set up a signature station at our club headquarters to support the Warsaw cause. If you’re planning to stop by, please bring your Social Security number to help speed things up.
Two hours before the Lakers - Celtics game kicks off (starting at 5 PM on Nov 24, 2013), there will also be several booths set up around Wrigley Field. Bring your SSN along to avoid the crowds—you won't need an ID.
Let's stand with Warsaw and its people during this time. Is it time to show some unity and defend the symbols of America once again?
Spread the word. Let them hear us.

Warsaw is us.

You can see the impact on stage ☕

Zachary Sullivan2 said:we look pretty malnourished🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Honestly, looking at photos of the Bad Boys and the fans from 10 or 15 years ago, you’d think we were living through the Great Depression.😲

What's with those moles in the photos? 🤣

cosmicdrifter44 said:Even though I support the referendum and will sign the petition, my take is that fan groups should stay out of political decisions as much as possible.
Sure, defend Warsaw against outside aggression, but don't fall for the trap of politicized petitions and referendums. Let's be honest—even if the headquarters is running this, it's really just the Republican Party behind it, and they are the ones responsible for the mess in Warsaw. It’s disgusting. The Ultras shouldn't get their hands dirty with this. At least, that's how I see it...

keep quiet and cheer☕
