I watched that clip, and honestly, I’m not sure what to make of it. It feels like one of those things where you have to decide if you're looking at genuine talent or just a lot of hype being manufactured by the media. Maybe I'm being too cynical, but it seems like there's a massive gap between how this is being presented and the actual reality on the field. The way they're framing the players makes it seem like everything is destined to be perfect, but sports rarely work that way. I guess you could argue that the momentum is there, but I find myself questioning if this level of intensity can actually be sustained over a full season. It’s easy to look good in a highlight reel, but when you're facing a defense like the Raiders, things tend to get a lot more complicated. It's a bit much, if you ask me. I mean, don't get me wrong, the skill is clearly visible, but the narrative surrounding it feels a little forced. I'll probably change my mind if they actually deliver during the playoffs, but for now, I’m staying skeptical. It's just one of those things where I think we should wait for the real results before we start celebrating.

Just memorize it. 😉☕

Jose Kern11 said:I honestly have no clue why you're getting so worked up. I can barely keep track of who's who anymore—whether it's the Chicago Bulls, Real Madrid, or some random local team. You tell me, how am I supposed to stay on top of all this? 🤷
Personally, I think using a Venmo account is the way to go; it's just easier for everyone. I’d probably send money more often if I could, but I really don't feel like driving to a Chase branch and waiting in line, or I'll just end up forgetting. Plus, having Venmo right there on my phone makes it easy to chip in immediately if I win something.

Jose Kern11 said:I mean, which club would actually turn down a shady agent working for someone like a crooked owner? It's just how things work sometimes. Honestly, the easiest move is probably just putting some money on your DraftKings account.

Brandon Wilson14 said:I know about 99% of this forum is going to lose their minds right now, but I honestly think it would be smarter for the club's own good to consider turning off the lights during European matches until our finances are actually stable. We need to stop making excuses and ensure we’re pulling in more from ticket sales than what we end up paying to Platimija. Right now, we can't afford even the smallest unnecessary expense, regardless of that whole "NFL Ultras" mentality. ☕
Go ahead, tear me apart...😁

Jesse Campbell said:Man, just pack it in already, you guys are getting exhausting. 🙄 You don't even know how to throw a decent punch. Nobody’s actually threatening anyone, for God's sake—everyone's playing it safe and keeping things civil...

Honestly, I'd rather deal with fifth graders fighting in the playground. At least once in a while, someone could just drop a blunt "screw this!" and call it a day. 🙂 😁

And I guess you still haven't realized that by acting like this, you're just proving what a bunch of softies you really are. 😍

Just tear down that damn William Shakespeare guy and put up a monument to John Smith instead, since he keeps trying to sketch out ideas for you but just can't quite pull it off... 🙂

feralwolf16 said:That message might actually make sense if it wasn't being pushed by those same people who have been coasting on the NFL Ultras' reputation for years. It’s clearly just a massive marketing ploy to sway more Hajduk fans over to their side since business is booming right now. They lean on that tired old narrative about how everyone—the hooligans, the idiots, the casuals—hates them, and how they're going to rise above it all by turning "200 true believers" into something bigger... People like that have been stifling any real progress within the group for ages. A tiny little faction tried to push back against them once, but I guess they just ended up imploding because they spent all their energy fighting windmills instead of the actual problem...

Carol Taylor20 said:He didn't just grab a megaphone; the whole day was his moment. A few people were leading the cheers, and when he showed up, they basically handed him the reins. I don't think we need to be calling people out or dragging names through the mud—not everyone is some big-time media personality.

Jerry Gray5 said:Amen!!!
I mean, seriously, how am I supposed to have any desire to even talk with people who genuinely believe that the Raiders are Doris Dragovic? It’s not because I—or anyone else—am brainwashed or because some forced opinion was shoved down our throats. No, it's just common sense!
And for everyone out there thinking everything happening is just some manufactured drama, you really need to learn how to distinguish between your own interests and the greater good. Honestly, the absolute baseline for any constructive conversation is actually using your own brain and doing some actual thinking. So, please, don't let other people put words in your mouth. Just be the author of your own thoughts, even if you end up being 200% wrong about it.

steeltrucker said:Can I ask a question? Why is it that when the lead organizer doesn't show up at the stands, or if he’s running late or whatever, people just don't know how to cheer? They just stare at one another like half-witted idiots, seemingly unable to find a common language, or needing a compass just to figure out where they are or where the exits are located? Take that Lokomotiva Hajduk game last season...

Charles Ruiz6 said:Why shouldn't I be allowed to speak my mind? I’m not part of the inner circle or even the "active" core. But this is a group I love, a group I’ve paid dues to for years, and I genuinely care about it being the best it can be. I’m someone who knows every single message posted over the last decade, every choreo, which games had the most energy and which had less, and where we showed up in force for away matches versus where we didn't. This is a group I’ve stood with in the stands, both at home and on the road. I’ve walked through countless home games, almost every MLS stadium, and even several European trips. It's a group I feel a real sense of solidarity with—even if I wasn't in Zilin, I was still there $33 when we were raising money for legal aid. It's a group whose songs I know by heart and find myself humming subconsciously every single day.
And honestly, I feel like a part of this group. Regardless of what the "real" members think about that. If I didn't feel that connection, believe me, I wouldn't bother writing anything; I wouldn't give a damn. I’m writing because I care, not because I have too much free time and want to come here to troll the forum.

But fine, I don't need validation to call myself an NFL Ultra. I don't care about that. However, if fans like me aren't considered part of Torcida Split, then please, I beg you, when you see all those videos, photos, and reports saying things like "Torcida cheered fantastically" or "Torcida Split wins the final battle," just leave out the word "Torcida." Because it's hard to believe that only 200 people could create that kind of hellish atmosphere alone.

You can see how the "true" fans look at the rest of us. Like we're a necessary evil. If they didn't need us to pull off the choreos or boost the noise, they’d have kicked us out of the North Stand ages ago. Instead, they let us stay, even if we're a nuisance.

Just don't come crying later when the rival gangs outshout us in Miami, wondering how to motivate these "half-fans" to cheer when you're busy belittling them right now.

Mark Carter10 said:Who are "YOU," and who are "THEY"?

That guy who isn't here right now—he’s a true fan. And no, I didn't just jump to that conclusion (or maybe that's just my take), but I've always seen what he actually does, whereas most of you have just given me plenty of talk and left it at that. 😍

Once "You and THEY" (as you like to call yourselves) realize that the NFL Ultras isn't some marketing firm where everything revolves around money—which seems to be everyone's main concern lately 🙄—and understand that the club isn't just a membership database but a place to hang out and build community, then maybe we can actually start talking about what a supporter movement really is!

Casual fans have never been the issue. Thank God we have them, and I hope they stay, but the real problem lies within us. We don't have a cohesive group; instead, we just have a massive collection of individuals, which is exactly what you guys have been listing over the last ten pages.

That's it for me. I'm staying out of any more supporter threads! 😉

p.s. Honestly, if you're being real, it's kind of sad to see so many of us (of us) cluttering up this forum instead of being on the road heading toward a major game. 🙂
