stormybison9 said:We really need to get real here and just admit that the flares were being thrown whenever they felt like it—whether it was appropriate or not. I mean, look at Dinamo. They’re the most watched club in the league, playing in major European competitions every single year, and... I wonder which club actually pulls in the most cash these days. Whether we’re talking about the sponsors, the local government, player sales, or even UEFA—none of that works for us. It just doesn't fit. Because they really ought to pay those fines...
If they really wanted to scale that back or stop it from happening, they’d just go after the culture directly. They’ve spent years trying to demonize anything involving flares or the Bad Boys, basically painting us as villains. It feels like a calculated, systemic effort over time to push us into this corner we're currently stuck in. I guess that's just how they play the game.
I wonder about one thing. One day, when this whole struggle finally reaches its end, what happens then? Will we still be throwing flares onto the pitch—maybe as some sort of protest against UEFA and the way modern soccer is being ruined—or will we finally just stand on the ball and learn our lesson? I guess it’s hard to say. Maybe we'll never stop, or maybe we'll actually grow up. It’s a toss-up, really.
We probably don't stand a chance in a fight against UEFA. I mean, look at the math—we’re talking about hundreds, maybe even a few thousand people at most, while they represent millions of people and billions of dollars. Honestly, fighting them just feels like we're doing more damage to ourselves than to them.
There’s a massive difference between setting off flares on the pitch versus lighting them up in the stands. I guess it really comes down to how you look at it, but it's definitely not the same thing.Honestly, a lot of us were saying they should just stay in the stands and warning everyone about this, but what can you do? When you're dealing with millions of people and thousands of different groups, things just get out of hand.
So, first off, the bold move—it makes sense. They’re pulling in more revenue, so naturally, they should be paying higher wages. I mean, when you look at those numbers in dollars, it’s honestly peanuts compared to what some other teams are doing, including my own club. But still, it's a factor. I guess you have to wonder, though... wouldn't a guy like that cover 125 flares at every single game just to make sure nobody ever dares to touch him?🤷🙂It’s pretty obvious what that whole thing is actually running on.
Another case of cowardice, honestly. It’s just giving up on what we actually stand for. This whole argument is completely useless and serves no purpose other than to kill any sense of motivation. It feels like they're just taking the path of least resistance because it's easier, I guess. Whatever.
Thirdly, let’s talk about how much UEFA just doesn't care—they're basically repeat offenders at this point. To give you an idea of how ridiculous things get, I could probably send them messages that are completely inappropriate. Like, what if I just started throwing chairs around? It's the same kind of chaos you see when people start breaking stuff in the stands during a game.
If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't spend too much time overthinking which tactical approach to take. Honestly, staying static on the ball is probably the last thing you want to do right now—you need to be pressing. I’m not just saying that out of nowhere, either; just look at how that first match turned out. It seems like the only thing certain is that this isn't providing any extra cash flow for those shady characters looking to manipulate the game.
I guess we really need to talk about this whole situation involving the police being bought off. It’s honestly getting ridiculous at this point. I don't want to sound like I'm jumping to conclusions, but when you see how certain people seem to have an untouchable influence over law enforcement, it makes you wonder where the integrity actually went. Maybe I'm being too cynical, but it feels like there's a pattern here that we just can't ignore anymore. Everything seems to be up for sale if you have enough leverage, and it leaves you questioning the entire system. It's just... frustrating, I guess.I don't even want to get into how much this sucks. It’s just... honestly, I can't even put it into words.
Politician. Honestly, some people just lack any semblance of critical thinking. It’s exhausting. I’m just so sick of all the constant sycophancy, the Messi worship, the cheap one-trick pony tactics, and the endless stream of suck-ups.
Don't go thinking that famous attempt by the police to "wipe out" the Bad Boys was just some local issue involving the guys from Chicago. It wasn't. Their orders were coming from way beyond the city limits.
My head is spinning, just like you all seem to love highlighting.😁ABOUT THE LAST MAN STANDING😈
P.S. No offense intended, but...
