Larry Rivera83 said:Man, damn it, I can't for the life of me remember—I know I heard one of their tracks about Campett about a year ago that was 🙏🙏🙏
Larry Rivera83 said:Man, you might actually know this... what's the name of those guys over at Campett? They've got this damn track 🙂

analogmaker14 said:I'm honestly stumped on where to ask this, so I'm throwing it out here since you guys usually respond the fastest. 🙂
Does anyone remember the name of that song? It’s got that vibe along the lines of "this is Cleveland, you'll trip up sooner or later." If someone has a link, please drop it.
Anonymous said:From what I saw on TV, the crowd noise was pretty pathetic—both sides were just lackluster.
Larry Rivera83 said:Honestly, today was a total blast from start to finish, but the absolute highlight was definitely: the Democratic Party being absolute jerks right at the start of the second half. 🙏

Steven Garcia3 said:I’m posting this because some guy on here got all sensitive after I mentioned that if I’m comparing our Boys to anyone in the US, it’s only Torac. Then he started hyping up Armada like his life depended on it—complaining about how hard it is to support Ciba, how the bans are killing us (which, by the way, we probably have fewer of than any other serious group), and all that nonsense... honestly, who cares? Just be real for once. If you want to claim you’re for us now compared to what you were a few years ago, fine. It’s like me saying we haven't even been from the North for two years. And then some teenager tries to correct my stadium attendance numbers. Man, I don't give a damn if I wrote 300, 400, or 500, does it actually matter?! The point is that there are hardly any people left, the fan scene is a wreck, Armada is tanking, we are tanking, one cohort is an embarrassment, and Torac is the only thing in the whole country moving forward. You can't run from the truth. We can insult each other, provoke one another, and get banned just to feel like big shots on the internet, but what the hell do we gain from that? I have my opinion, and frankly, when some kid tries to lecture me, it really rubs me the wrong way. I said what I said. I'm trying to look at our situation realistically, and it would be nice if others did the same.
Steven Garcia3 said:It's all fine when it's just kids writing stuff—wannabes who think they discovered the world because they found the internet. But when you have prominent figures from the American Forum—people like Spitke, who treats it like a joke but is basically the face of our section, or guys like Catholic, who first betrayed his own group, then his city, and is now betraying the entire American fan scene... well, kudos to them for their legacy, but... I won't finish that sentence. Everyone pretty much knew about UF, everyone knew about that guy who snuck a Mexican into the North, so what? Is that supposed to be "content" for the internet? Seriously, how can you expect anything from the younger generation when the legends are setting such a terrible example by behaving like total idiots?

Steven Garcia3 said:Look, I can see exactly how many people are in that photo and just what kind of crowd it is, and honestly, any sane person could see the same thing. Having 110 people show up for an Adriatic derby is pretty weak in my book—just like our 250 in Zapresic or 600 at the national stadium is weak. We have to be realistic here. And don't give me that crap; I posted that picture of 1,000 people going absolutely mental during one of the biggest European disasters in club history because I wasn't expecting that level of turnout or that level of insanity from you guys in Cleveland. Mainly because, no offense intended, I can't relate BBB to any other group in America except The 12th Man. But if someone who is ultimately an Armada fan is telling you that being in a half-dead state while trailing 2-0 by the 25th minute is below supporter standards, you have to admit it. Only an idiot would expect a London-level atmosphere from you, but you’ve gotta realize one thing: when you actually believe you can hold your own and then get hammered 4-0 by someone like Tottenham, believe me, you're in more trouble than when you spend ninety minutes driving down to the Stadium for a game you aren't even expecting to win. That’s exactly why I was looking for some chaos from you guys at the Stadium. Most of us here with even a little bit of away experience know how this works: if we don't turn the place into a madhouse, the vibe on the bus or train ride home after a loss is usually just dead silence. That’s what I expected from you, but like I said, the whole scene outside of The 12th Man is in decline—whether it's quality, like you guys, quantity, like us, or morale, like Kohorta.

The Boys headed out to that away game basically acting more like Armada members showing up for an Adriatic derby... the fact that they didn't show up there is just old news at this point.
Larry Rivera83 said:You want to know when the Armada was actually at its peak? It was back when all this petty bickering over who's a "real American" or a "true Clevelander" didn't mean a damn thing. Back when you'd hear some "Hey, you Cleveland communists..." and half the stadium would just erupt in cheers. Honestly, if I tried comparing today to how things were back in '96, it would look ridiculous if it wasn't so depressing. Look, mad respect to the guys who made the trip to Miami, but there were maybe ten of us... meanwhile, there were hundreds of us ready to go whenever half the city was rooting for Hajduk. Seriously, half the city. What's the excuse for this current generation? Repression? The standings? Shitty football? I don't buy it.

ruggedorca23 said:Wait, what’s so funny about that caterpillar thing???
I mean, I still remember that photo. It was basically "one of the leaders of the caterpillar army chugging a beer," and some guy is just tilting the glass back. Total core memory right there.
Plus that ridiculous slogan: "The Army—us against the world."

And there are plenty of them.
Jacob Newman74 said:Andrew White32... obviously it’s just like you said, people from Cleveland don't experience the war quite the same way as those who actually had missiles flying over their heads! ..that's exactly what I'm getting at, if you didn't catch my drift.. And because of that, they don't feel that same level of "dislike" for the folks on the other side of the Mississippi River, and they don't take stuff like "get out of Cleveland, get out of America" nearly as hard, while most people in the rest of the country don't even grasp the whole extremist movement at all..
And btw, you telling me that Clevelanders know about the war? Sure... that doesn't really address my point about how people in Cleveland aren't as intensely patriotic as "those who had projectiles flying overhead." Actually, thanks for backing up my argument.. we finally agree on something..
