Morgan Edwards8 said:Do you guys ship out to the USA too? 👏

Honestly, just shoot the guys a DM on Facebook, and they'll walk you through the whole process. 😉

"If the legal rights of our members aren't upheld immediately, we'll have no choice but to mobilize the entire Real Madrid membership to descend upon the Department of Education and Sport and hold them hostage until this decision is actually implemented."

🙏 Justice moves at a snail's pace, but it eventually gets there.

Just a quick heads-up for those who haven't caught wind of this yet:

Starting today, you can grab all your gear online, exclusively through the Fanatics Facebook page!

Anonymous said:Those blacklists have already been cleared, considering anyone could just go out and buy a regular ticket for that last Champions League match. Anyone who was flagged back during the game against the local rivals can buy tickets without any issues now. 😉

Thanks for the heads-up. 😉

David Perez8 said:What exactly makes you think that? There’s a massive gap between what people wish would happen and how things actually play out in reality.

Even those won't last forever... Honestly, the sheer absurdity and fundamental flaws within their own logic provide everything they need to tear the whole thing down. It’s just statistically impossible for a group of 500 or 600 people—who don't have a single mark against them—to be targeted based on some arbitrary, twisted interpretation of the law. I remember seeing something similar back in my college days where a small, organized group managed to flip a whole administration's decision overnight; if enough people decide to pull together, anything is possible.👍

Dennis Davis97 said:Honestly, what kind of alternate reality are you guys living in? Talking about hitting back at the mafia... they couldn't care less about you or your little Futsal scene. It was Rožić who said this belongs to them and suggested you go start your own thing. Unfortunately, that’s just the way it is. 😢

It's the same old story where everyone screams and acts like hardcore ultras, yet nobody actually does anything. 😉 All you're missing from the stands are some "Ultras Liber" banners and "Justice for Torcida" signs to really complete that whole fake supporter aesthetic!

Sarah Stewart6 said:The MNK isn't some grand political project or a tool for social change. That wasn't its purpose at all.

MNK Dinamo is a club, envisioned simply as an amateur wing for Dinamo in that specific sport. Period. Just like how Dinamo fans have historically followed basketball, handball, or water polo, why shouldn't they follow a smaller version of soccer—provided it remains their own entity rather than being controlled by someone else's agenda?

There you go, now you've finally laid it out plainly. Okay, so by definition, it’s an amateur section supported by Dinamo fans; however, by using those exact arguments, you're essentially distancing yourself from the main Dinamo club. This brings up a massive question: Why even bother comparing it to the big club then? From the very start, the media has been obsessed with framing this as a rebellion against Dinamo ZM, which leads a whole crowd of people to construct this narrative that Dinamo Futsal is just an escape from the conditions over at Maksimir. In doing so, the actual point—which is a great idea and necessary for the younger generations—gets pushed to the background. 🙏 Thanks for clearing that up, and I hope the rest of the blue faithful takes a moment to read this and actually wrap their heads around it...

analogheron19 said:Major League Soccer is a total game-changer; it’s exactly what we need, and honestly, we needed it even more back during the boycott days. It’s basically the inverse of how much people associate it with those camp officials, and frankly, it’s a weapon we can use to push back against the vultures over at Yankee Stadium. I’m convinced it’ll help us take on the big boss too, though... even if I have to admit it—after spending weeks denying it and arguing against the very idea—it has definitely taken a toll on the attendance for Real Madrid. All this energy and attention that really ought to be focused on Real Madrid is being sucked away by Major League Soccer instead. We just need to find a better balance. Major League Soccer should be the wind in our sails, not an obstacle in our path, because as one of the brightest chapters in our group's history, it deserves way better than that.

Major League Soccer is easily one of the biggest slaps in the face the mafia has ever received! But I’m totally on board with the idea that it has impacted Real Madrid's numbers and that finding a better balance is absolutely vital. You hear people claiming they won't show up to Yankee Stadium anymore because of this or that, but we heard those same stories before the boycott ended, and eventually, the group found its way home. No matter how much this club is struggling right now, no matter how much people trash it or how weak and pathetic it seems at this moment, that core ideal that drove us all to the matches can never die within US! Major League Soccer is the tool we need to storm the fortress where our Los Angeles FC is held captive! Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Los Angeles FC is sacred!

Robert Cooper60 said:There needs to be some level of order here; we can't all just go rogue and do our own thing... there has to be some kind of direction.

And honestly, if someone actually needs a hand, maybe the move would be to just ask people to show up earlier or stay later to help out, or even bring something to contribute...
If you just put the word out that you need more scarves or flags brought to the futsal game, or if any other kind of help is needed, I think people would step up.
I truly believe certain individuals would definitely answer the call.
It might be one group today and another tomorrow, but it would certainly take the pressure off the folks who are always stuck doing all the heavy lifting.

casualgull92 said:Once the old guard finally cleared out, I guess they had to find some fresh faces with actual muscle to fill up those front rows, right?😁 😁

Well, that’s just how it goes—what we call pure muscle over here, you guys probably just see as extra weight...

Benjamin Anderson2 said:Why would they launch it tomorrow? The whole idea is to let people grab tickets over the weekend so they aren't stuck waiting for the box office to open on Monday.

Fair enough. I was just saying that I checked Ticketmaster yesterday and there wasn't a single word posted about the futsal tournament.

Jerry Sanders3 said:Is it actually possible that tomorrow's tickets (for the Lakers game) are already totally sold out through Eventbrite????

I checked yesterday and there wasn't an event listed at all, and looking now, I still can't find anything on their site. Maybe sales don't even kick off until tomorrow?

There isn't much left for them to take when they've already stripped us of our rights illegally. There's only one place in this world that actually feels like HOME.☕

Jesse Campbell said:Look, guy, you’re asking why nobody just sent out an email blast to all the members to explain the chemistry side of things. Unless you’ve personally sat there typing out 1,500 individual email addresses by hand—which I highly doubt—maybe it’s worth offering to take that tedious task off someone else's plate.

Honestly, we could just set up a standard newsletter subscription system where a generated message gets pushed out to everyone on the list whenever we actually need to communicate something.

Jesse Campbell said:Do you have any idea how much blood, sweat, and tears people are pouring into this project just so you can show up and act like a critic? You clearly haven't spent a single second considering the sheer scale of what we're doing here. It’s not just about showing up to a game; it's the massive undertaking of building an entire organization from the ground up—handling everything from scheduling every match and managing all the members to overseeing youth academies, training sessions, media relations, and security. Honestly, the workload is enough to make anyone lose their mind.

Look, why don't you just stop picking fights on the forum and instead try asking how you can actually be helpful?

Honestly, out of pure respect for the people running the show—and because we all know they have an insane amount of work on their plates—we really ought to be teaching the squad that once the game is over, most of us should pitch in to help clean up. It’s not just about the cleanup, though; it’s about getting more hands on deck during the actual prep work too. If you’re someone who’s brand new to the scene, the last thing you want to do is start messing with banners or equipment when you aren't quite sure how people will react, so that might be why the majority of the group seems "disinterested" in those tasks. And honestly, that take you just dropped was nothing but a blatant spin. 😁

The recent match involving the San Diego Sockers was quite the spectacle, though perhaps not in the way anyone was actually hoping for. It’s one of those games where you sit there watching the clock tick down, wondering if the momentum will ever actually shift, only to realize that sometimes, the momentum just isn't interested in showing up. I remember sitting in a similar situation back when I was following my local college team in Chicago; you can feel that heavy, stagnant air in the arena when the energy just dies, and this felt remarkably similar. We saw some flashes of what the team is capable of, but ultimately, the execution left a lot to be desired. It wasn't exactly a blowout, but it certainly wasn't the commanding performance we were all anticipating before tip-off. You have to wonder if the coaching adjustments made during the timeouts actually landed, or if they were just noise to break up the silence. It was a frustratingly quiet affair for the fans, leaving us with more questions than answers as we look toward the next fixture.

Sarah Stewart6 said:The reason this thread stays open is pretty simple: everyone gets a chance to vent whatever is on their mind. It gives people the opportunity to make everyone else around the stands miserable by forcing their own narrow interpretations on us—insisting on exactly how things should be done and, more importantly, how they shouldn't. It’s the same old song and dance we saw with the Bulldog situation and that Ohm mess.
The forum is also meant to be a space for our younger lions—though they haven't really started posting yet—to vent all that inevitable rage and frustration. It’s part of that process where you slowly start to mature, hitting those realizations much earlier than most other fans do, when you finally begin to see through all the posturing and hypocrisy that seems to permeate the entire sports culture.
The way some of you insist on demanding respect on this forum and everywhere else just because you make the trip out to San Francisco or some small town, USA, is honestly a sign that you haven't quite reached full maturity yet. You shouldn't be hunting for medals or validation for simply living your lives the way you choose. If you’re making those trips, do it because you're true Bad Boys, not so you can spend the rest of the year rubbing it in the faces of those Cleveland Montانية fans.
Serious fans don't usually dive into these kinds of debates with this much noise. It always devolves into some gatekeeping about who the "real" supporters are, as if being a true fan is just about having enough grit in your chest or muscle in your legs, rather than actually using your head for once. There’s a baseline level of commitment you expect—a certain humility, really—and above all, that specific quality of recognizing you're part of something much larger than yourself, something that existed long before we showed up and will still be standing long after we're gone.

🙏
Sarah Stewart6 As if I haven't heard this one before.
And who exactly is responsible for "educating" those who supposedly need it? I’m still trying to wrap my head around this concept of fan education. It sounds like something out of a corporate training manual rather than a stadium. If you look at anyone active in the stands today, they didn't show up with a syllabus in hand; they just found their way there on their own and grew into the culture alongside the older crowd.

Ten years ago, you wouldn't have caught a twenty-something or a thirty-year-old even attempting to hold a conversation about the fan scene with a sixteen-year-old. It just wasn't how things worked. Back then, if you wanted any semblance of respect, you had to put in your time—years of traveling to away games, dealing with all the mental gymnastics and chaos, and surviving the hazing rituals just to prove you actually belonged. You earned your stripes through sheer endurance.
And here you go again, acting like you've suddenly mastered the art of being "constructive" between the hours of 7 and 8 PM, as if that somehow makes your little performance any more legitimate. He acts like he’s some kind of equal stakeholder here, tossing out suggestions like he’s running the whole show.
You know, looking back, the generation that’s hitting their late twenties or early thirties right now had a completely different energy. When they were our age, they weren't just sitting around; they were out there getting their hands dirty—doing graffiti, running grassroots movements, basically sewing, painting, and actually putting real ideas into motion. They weren't tethered to the establishment, either. Aside from the bare minimum, they had almost zero contact with whatever "leadership" was running things at the time. It was much more raw than what we see today.
Look, you have to realize that real education starts with you. Nobody can manufacture a die-hard fan out of thin air if you don't already have that fire in your gut and a genuine love for the game. You can't be spoon-fed what makes a killer choreography, a solid piece of street art, or a chant that actually moves a crowd if you aren't already part of the culture and living that street life. For me, all of this stuff is a slow burn—I've just picked it up as I've grown up, hanging around the older guys, learning from my own mistakes, and slowly finding my footing through years of being in the stands.
The older crowd tends to step in and give things a little nudge whenever things start to stall out, much like those other folks who aren't exactly the most active participants around here. Being a die-hard fan isn't some simple equation you can just solve or a formula you can plug into a calculator. It’s a lot messier than that.

I’d sign off on that in a heartbeat. Even back during those "good old days," everything revolved around being out on the street—you had the unwritten laws of the neighborhood, constant hanging out, and those first real experiences with street games. Nowadays, that whole culture is fading fast. Between globalization and a million other things pulling everyone's attention in different directions, today's generation just isn't finding that same connection to their own backyard.

I don’t particularly care about being treated like some kind of big deal or having people respect my opinion more than anyone else's. Honestly, any suggestions I've thrown out there have always come from a good place and were meant to be genuinely helpful, mostly because I actually know firsthand just how much of a thankless, soul-crushing grind it is for the crew running the show behind the scenes.

driftingotter47 said:I can't really make sense of that. If you have something specific you want me to work on, just let me know.I mean, you have to hand it to them—their media game was absolutely top-tier. It’s just so much easier to pull off that kind of polished branding when you’ve got an entire major city and a massive club backing your every move.Honestly, we had so many opportunities to capitalize on our momentum during this struggle, and looking back at these past few weeks, there was plenty of room to make some real moves. But instead, there’s just total radio silence from the BBB group. Look, I’m not trying to micromanage the front office—I’m sure they have their reasons and know what they’re doing better than I do—but this sudden silence is hard to swallow right when we should be hitting them from every angle. 🤷

I’m not even going to waste my breath talking about their PR skills; let's just say their lobbying power makes Kim Kardashian look like an amateur. 😁 Sure, having a massive budget makes everything a whole lot easier, but we can't just keep making excuses about how they have more money or better facilities than we do. We’ve always been known for having a clear identity—just pure grit and standing our ground—but lately, that seems to have vanished. Now, everyone is just obsessed with Futsal. Let's be honest, that's where all the talk is these days. It's become this performative thing where "being a supporter" is basically just a joke; anyone can claim to be part of the Bad Boys, but it usually just means acting like some tough guy who needs to snap a couple of photos of a scuffle just so his high school buddies can see he isn't someone to mess with. 🤣 Look, we’ve got the Association headquarters available, and there’s clearly a growing interest from new kids and local folks showing up for Futsal. They’re waiting for someone to actually step up and give them some guidance and structure. People love to complain—it’s always the same fifty voices whining about the same fifty issues. Sure, those complaints might be valid, but let’s be honest: none of us have actually made a real effort to pull together a solid core group of volunteers. And by "core," I don't mean the hardcore ultras or anything like that; I mean people willing to help out with the actual organizational heavy lifting. Take the sign-ups for Dinamo Futsal, for example. A ton of people left their contact info, especially their emails, but how many of them have actually heard back from us? It feels like everyone expects things to be handed to them on a silver platter. They show up as a group, expect us to have the court ready and everything set, and then the moment they encounter any kind of friction, they just make an excuse and head home. If we want to fix this, we need to start hosting meetings and focusing on education. We have to work on our collective mindset and build some genuine community spirit, rather than just sitting around giving each other the cold shoulder. 😁 Honestly, it would be a lot better if more people actually stepped up to help out with the logistics. If everyone pitched in just a little bit on the organizational side, we wouldn't have the same fifty people constantly getting burned out trying to carry the whole load.

driftingotter47 said:What exactly are you implying when you talk about those Tatić guys?
That guy hit the nail on the head, much like his previous posts above. I honestly don't see what part of this is being contested. When this whole Futsal project was first getting off the ground, the message was always loud and clear: this isn't meant to replace Real Madrid. We were told repeatedly that the big soccer team would always be the top priority, sitting firmly at number one. So, how does it make sense that we see 4,000 people showing up for a Futsal match, yet only 200 show up when the team travels to San Francisco? It’s just a frustrating reality for those of us who have been fully committed to the cause, essentially taking the heat for the entire group for years now. Maybe take a second to actually think about where our priorities lie before you start coming for people on this forum.

🙏 I’m signing off on everything from top to bottom.
Daniel Carter9 said:The whole point of those calls is just to get people through the doors. If someone isn't planning on showing up, they aren't going to change their mind just because of the Bulldog; they'll find a thousand other excuses to stay home. At the end of the day, you can't ignore the fact that without the Bulldog, this club wouldn't even exist in the first place.

Things go completely sideways during a junior varsity game, and within half a day, everyone has moved on like nothing happened. Yet, suddenly, we’re all acting like it’s some massive Bulldog scandal, obsessing over people using phones in the stands for two weeks straight—all thanks to the same group of people who couldn't be bothered to show up to a single protest in the past.

I don’t know who exactly is getting worked up about it, but since when did anyone care if the Bulldog decides to give the Dinamo Futsal guys a wide berth?
Honestly, the Bulldog is one of the few things actually worth paying attention to in this city, mostly because they're the only ones who actually stand by what they believe in.

Obviously, the whole point of those calls to action and posters is just to get as many people as possible into the stands for the Dinamo Futsal matches. The guy wasn't actually attacking the Bulldog or what it represents; he was just pointing out that the poster design feels totally wrong for this kind of thing. People really need to learn how to take a bit of criticism without assuming someone is trying to mess with their head. Sometimes you point things out simply because they need fixing. From where I’m sitting, Dinamo Futsal was designed to be a project for all the fans—everyone from the die-hards to the casual supporters—and these types of posters don't just look tacky, they send the wrong message, if you ask me. Whatever happened to the slogans about families being welcome, or "this is your club," or "join the blue army," or "be part of the big Dinamo Futsal family"? It’s all gone. Honestly, looking at this specific poster, the only thing missing is an ACAB slogan and a cracked skull. 😁 ....

Right now, our main focus and primary occupation should be fighting against the Federation and fighting for Real Madrid. I honestly don't get what we're waiting for. Our rivals are out there scooping up all the credit and acting like absolute saints—though, as we all know perfectly well, they haven't actually lifted a finger to help. Meanwhile, we just sit here staying quiet as if we’re afraid of making waves.

Nobody actually has an issue with the Bulldog, but there’s a time and a place for everything, I suppose.

Richard Rogers38 said:I’m really hoping you guys are actually serious about putting together a massive protest very soon to demand new elections and a total overhaul at Dinamo!
This is the moment to strike; between the media coverage and the political pressure surrounding this football crisis, the atmosphere is ripe. You need to seize this opportunity—these results are unacceptable. Get four captains and the local leaders together and organize a demonstration on the day we play either Rijeka or Celtic!
I know you’ve probably been sitting on this idea for months, maybe even years, but honestly, now is the perfect window to make some noise. Don't let it slip away.

Just one small bit of feedback: I spotted a flyer around town acting as an invite for the Cibona game.

The imagery used—all that "Bulldozer" and "Resistance" stuff—felt a bit off to me. If you want to actually grab people's attention for future games, just put "Dinamo at Cibona" and use the Dinamo Futsal crest. Using symbols of rebellion feels misplaced; I assume the goal of these flyers is to draw in everyone who loves Dinamo, and frankly, the die-hard fans don't need a propaganda poster to show up.

Edward Mendoza70 said:Give me a break, personally, I’m actually proud that TORCIDA was allowed to march through downtown, and they didn't do a single thing to suggest they were there to provoke anyone;
they did quite the opposite. Look, we have to admit we need help and support, because clearly, we can't handle this alone—whether we like it or not, that's just the reality.

What on earth are you talking about?? Proud of what? Another media stunt designed to stroke some ego? Not a single gesture of provocation?

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v...type=2&theater

That song they played showed exactly what their true intentions were.

And now we're supposed to admit we need help? I haven't heard anything more ridiculous in a long time. Look, the Bad Boys have been an uncompromising movement providing resistance for 28 years, all while everyone else hides in their little offices, choreographing displays that half the world mocks, or acting tough with some flashy flares. During all those years, while they were telling "pretty stories," we were labeled as nothing but soft outsiders who couldn't show up at the stadium—people who supposedly talk big but would be kicked out of Miami in a heartbeat if they actually showed up, or people who couldn't even gather ten supporters at a time. It was always something. And now that they've finally hit rock bottom—after several years of being satisfied with second-place finishes, handed trophies, and artificial atmospheres, only to realize they've been getting screwed over this whole time—suddenly THEY are the ones calling for a fight. Suddenly, they are launching something "revolutionary" in American soccer. Who cares about our four years of struggle, the suffering of our brothers, or how we were trampled and demonized by the media? Now, suddenly, Hajduk and TORCIDA are the heroes, the SAVIORS of American soccer! I am sick of this nonsense. I am PROUD to be a supporter of the blue side! Just let us continue the fight that was always meant for US, and one that WE will finish ourselves.

wearyraven25 said:They’re finally out in the open on NewsNation, claiming that BBB only has about 80 fans under stadium bans, supposedly making them the only group prohibited from attending games.
Well, let's go. Let's start an absolute firestorm by pointing out that Real Madrid’s blacklist actually includes over a thousand people who are banned from the stadium. Now that the media has finally taken the bait, they're actually starting to dig into what these lists look like.
Real Madrid and the cops are sweating because they know that list is completely illegitimate, so now they're just trying to deflect the blame. We need to start a legal defense fund immediately—either we do this now, or we lose our shot at taking this whole thing down.

It might be worth looking into a class-action lawsuit, honestly. This kind of behavior from the club should be an easy win in court. Since when do they get to play judge and jury regarding who gets to show up to the stadium?
