Mockery? A club falling apart? Our issues with the local butchers and bakers? This is what fighting for our club actually looks like, whereas your pathetic whining about American soccer is honestly the most miserable thing I have ever had the misfortune of reading on this entire forum. 🤮.

No, look—our struggle against George Steinbrenner is about saving our club, while your meltdown is just about watching your own organization collapse. Our fight against the cops is about the very survival of our supporter movement. It should be the same for you guys, too, but I’ll stop there before I open a whole Pandora's box of issues.
And anyone suggesting that the crackdown from the big city authorities will spill over into everywhere else is being an absolute moron who clearly doesn't understand how things work.
This is my final post on this topic. I don't have anything better to do than sit here and type out the reality of the situation while everyone else runs around aimlessly.
My advice to our people is the same: stop engaging in these debates with them and start focusing on our own business.

Who on earth would ever actually support a bunch of losers like you?
The absolute peak of your "rebellion" against the USSF was when 450 of you showed up just to protest the match against Mexico. That’s more than all the other supporter groups combined—literally double. You don't hate the federation; you just hate the national team.
We weren't the ones out there posting banners about the power of organized ultras or preaching about unity to tear everything down.

Honestly, calling this a collapse is just a pathetic joke at the expense of your crumbling club. Why on earth should we give a single damn about your internal drama involving the local butchers and bakers? That’s entirely your own mess to clean up with your organization, but you're all too blinded by your own bitter resentment to see the distinction between fighting for your team and fighting for the very survival of your fan base. You didn't understand the difference then, and clearly, you still don't understand it now.

What are you even talking about when you bring up the nineties? These days, they’re singing praises to the local mayor at every other match. Even over at the minor clubs, you've got these city thugs shouting themselves hoarse, only to turn around later and write posts claiming they're all just big fans of Mamić. It’s pathetic how we expect any sense of solidarity from people who act like nothing more than a bunch of sycophants.

R. I. P. 😢

Neither did Balaban or the Canadian kid, if we're being totally honest here...

And let’s be real, Čale definitely shouldn't have been getting call-ups either—man, they should have just traded him while they had the chance.

I think someone already brought up Drpić earlier, too.

There are plenty more names I could throw at you, but it's a bit late for me to start digging through the archives now.

But look, the issue isn't just about who gets called up and who doesn't...

It actually hurts to even think about it. The problems we're facing go way deeper than just selection issues.

Between players like Vejic, Luka Vucko, Jurica Buljat, and the rest of them... honestly, you can find enough incompetence in this group to fill an entire stadium.

You’re talking absolute nonsense, just like 90% of these self-proclaimed football "experts." Seriously, why? Just tell me—did he even answer a single question you actually asked him?

You all spend so much time talking trash about the MLS and making up these ridiculous scenarios, swallowing every bit of garbage these idiots serve you on a silver platter, and then you act shocked when nobody shows up to the stadium. So what if the quality of play is subpar? Where else in the world am I supposed to find better soccer in a country of our size and economic standing? In Canada? Norway? Sweden? Slovakia or the Czech Republic? Give me a break.

Edward Hernandez332 said:There aren't any real stakes left because the league was basically decided before the season even kicked off. That '99 season was the last time anyone actually believed Cleveland could make a dent in things. Besides, most people from Cleveland grew sick of American soccer ages ago because of all the corruption and fixing surrounding it.

Can someone from the hardcore supporter groups explain this whole "stolen title" nonsense from '99? I mean, where is the logic in rigging a championship by essentially nullifying a last-minute goal—especially when it wasn't until very recently that we could use 3D technology to prove the goal was 100% legitimate? We are talking about centimeters here; did it honestly never cross anyone's mind that it was just a human error rather than a conspiracy? Do you really think FT wanted to snatch the title early by doing it at Wrigley Field against Indianapolis, a team that had absolutely nothing left to play for back then?

People obsess way too much over these fixing allegations, and frankly, that's why fans stay away, not because the fixing is actually happening. Just look at Italy—which was arguably the strongest league in the world not that long ago—where you’d see 1.25 odds on Reggina playing away at Milan or a 1.30 for a draw. It’s ridiculous. A massive amount of people are out here casting doubt on the 4-3 match in Columbus this season, but what kind of idiot would try to rig a game in that specific manner??
I'm not saying there isn't some shady business going on, but people are totally overreacting and taking it way too far.
Sorry for the tangent.

I’m hearing rumors about some kind of drills happening out near the Catskills with our local boys ☕
