Chris Baker said:The media only sides with the fans because they have an agenda. For example, outlets like CNN are only against Madoff because the Democratic Party is against him. If the Democrats weren't against him, those outlets wouldn't be either. It’s all just politics, and politics is a dirty business.
That slap at the futsal game was a mistake, sure. But it’s interesting how the people who aren't political pawns—the fans, in this case—are always the ones forced to apologize. Meanwhile, others get away with almost anything without fearing any repercussions... There’s always a double standard. Unfortunately, when it comes to the fans, I don't think they'll ever be treated equally under the law or by the public. That's just the reality we have to live with...
So, is Otter claiming the Democratic Party is against Madoff? Get real, kid...
Tickets were handed out at the local pub, just a few small groups... so after being away for quite a while, we headed to the game. Honestly, it felt like a match without any actual football—it’s just how Dineme is, especially since Hajduk is looking absolutely terrible lately... As for the fans, only Torcida showed up in decent numbers, maybe around 1,600 on the south side, with just three banners (Torcida Zg, T-1950, and a memorial photo). People were scattered across the rest of the stands, while the north side was just pathetic... both to look at and to listen to... there wasn't even a real attempt at cheering. At most, you wouldn't have seen more than 5,000 people in the whole stadium with those free tickets, but I'm curious to see how the media handles it tomorrow when they try to "spin the numbers." I guarantee they'll claim there were over 10,000...
It’s been a long road, honestly, and we kept it straight without any nonsense... but at the end of the day, who's really looking out for us? Just our own people, I suppose... 🤦
The title pretty much says it all, and I’m curious about a few things... I’ve heard rumors that old cell phones might contain a tiny bit of gold or other precious metals, maybe even worth something... does anyone know if that's true, or who actually buys them and what the going rate is? Thanks...
Alright, let me jump in here too. Honestly, I was pretty blown away by the turnout in Cleveland... after such a long time, seeing a solid crowd gather despite the rain really set a high bar. It made the energy feel much more intense and spontaneous. Huge props to the guys who made that happen. (Man, if we could pull together a core group of at least 200 people every single game... imagine where we'd be by now...) 👍 BRAVO.
Even this counts as progress for us... if you look at it from a certain angle. It reminds me of that old saying by Mao Zedong: "Even a kick in the rear is a step forward." As long as those brothers stay tucked away in their "hotel," and if things stay that way for the long haul... then everything else on the group is secondary. I am just genuinely baffled by the sheer volume of public outcry—the way the common people seem to be screaming for them, despite how many uninformed supporters there are out there... it's truly hard to believe...
I agree that fear is a real thing, which makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint... I don't want to steer the conversation too far in that direction, but I do believe that true Catholics feel much less burdened by it. For those who truly live out their faith, death isn't an end, but rather a beginning... I’ve had many opportunities to witness people's reactions right before they pass, seeing life fade away firsthand. To me, it all seems perfectly natural. From the moment we are born, we are moving closer to that moment every single day. How someone chooses to face it really comes down to their own convictions, or perhaps even their conscience... Thank God.
Hey everyone. Since I’ve dealt with some health issues lately, I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and haven't been able to train, so my muscle mass has basically turned to fat. In short... if anyone knows how or where to get some Galenika Testosterone Depo 250 mg, please shoot me a private message. I'd really appreciate it. They are pretty affordable in South Carolina (around $3.25 per unit), but if anyone has a reliable connection, let me know so we can coordinate. Basically, I'm just looking to speed up the long process of rebuilding my physique... I'm ready to get back to it. All the best to you all.

Auxere—it was a tough one (I mean, that second game... I still vividly remember how Jelena totally dismantled us)
It’s honestly unbelievable how many times I’ve tried to write a more detailed post only for it to get flagged... does this happen to any of you?🤦 In short—as long as Turudić holds any kind of position of power, I fear the Makroglavi will always walk away with a clear conscience regarding these matters. It's fascinating, really, how easily that guy manages to align himself with his own interests; it seems to be his entire modus operandi, wasting his whole life on it. I'll stop there, I'm not even sure if this will go through... Greetings everyone, hope you're all doing well!
Laura Rodriguez76 said:Regardless of all the complaining, we should go light some candles for the veteran who passed away at yesterday's protest. We ought to coordinate a visit to show our support. I don't see why the group hasn't spoken up about this yet, especially since it happened right here in our city. It’s about symbolism... they are our people.
It isn't just about the symbolism, either. There are veterans among the Bad Boys too...
electricridge7-@ I hate to have to correct you, but you clearly messed up—maybe even on purpose—regarding the numbers for the NFL Ultras and The Boys. Take Mobile, for example. I visit there at least once a year, so don't try telling me The Boys don't run the place; their graffiti and local branch are everywhere. The Torcida only has one spot, while The Boys have about four pieces of graffiti right there... You also got it wrong regarding Phoenix, and since I'm a California son-in-law, I know how it is... I'm not sure which other cities you botched, but Memphis belongs to The Boys too. Out in those California villages, it often happens that half the hills belong to one group, and the other half to the others... As for St. Louis, I agree with you...
And guys, sorry for asking, but why is half the crowd wearing black t-shirts instead of white like they used to? It looks like they're heading out to pull an armed robbery on a geriatric ward in a nursing home... Best,
Does anyone know when the trip to the USA is scheduled, specifically for the Red Bull Leipzig game? Also, is the package price listed at $50 actually accurate? Best,
We really need to stay sharp to prevent any kind of chaos or total breakdown during this kickoff phase. If someone needs a heads-up, give it to them, or just grab some of the older guys to step in and talk sense to a "brave soul" who insists on doing his own thing while he's under the influence... We can't have the whole group losing its organizational edge, and honestly, everyone needs to know and respect who is actually leading the chants, for crying out loud.
(It reminds me of back in the day at the old stadium in Chicago; if the guys in the middle section weren't cheering, you’d warn them first, and if they didn't listen, things could get physical. I mean, what kind of coward sits right in the heart of the North Stand if you don't want to join in? Just sitting there with your hands folded, staring intensely at the pitch and critiquing the game...)
What’s the deal with all those flag symbols and patterns anyway...? I mean, are we really going to end up being labeled as some kind of extremists? It's funny how you can tell who actually knows their history just by listening to them. Back in the mid-80s, everyone was obsessed with the English style of football hooliganism. Like Stancer said, there was always at least one British flag flying at those matches because of the sheer chaos and grit of the game back then... which is probably where that old chant about Chelsea comes from.
Regarding that second photo from Stancer—was that from that first match against Auxer when we lost? If I recall, that was the night the North Stand set a record for staying on their feet the whole time. (I know we grabbed the win away, but they absolutely crushed us at home...) Cheers...

That’s actually the United States flag. It dates back to the mid-80s—back when they were known more for their rowdy fans than anything else. At those games, you’d hear the same songs about Chelsea over and over again (Let's go, Chelsea, Chelsea is the best...). They were playing in their third division back then, if I recall correctly...🥳
Seriously, what kind of nonsense is this regarding Salzburg? Look, if you aren't traveling with an organized tour, fine, but the idea that they’ll identify me as an American just because of a tattoo 🤣... I mean, what, are they going to run blood tests at the entrance?... Are some specialized technicians going to analyze my DNA just to figure out my country of origin? 🤣 If they actually ask why I'm visiting, should I just tell them I'm here for a mixed bag of cocaine? The people there are quite polite and well-educated—everyone seems to have at least finished middle school—but don't go lying to them. Honestly, I think it's best to just be upfront and mention we aren't locals, just passing through on a road trip. 🤷 As for the Boston Celtics away game, I honestly didn't catch much (maybe my browser isn't loading the page correctly), so if some kind soul could explain it simply to a guy who's a bit out of the loop (I've always had a bit of a falling out with English)... Thanks, good people. Best regards.
Then they should probably wait for the big derby against the Los Angeles Dodgers. If they’re actually going to protest, they can show up right under their windows and let them feel the ground shake from some heavy thunder...
