Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

Mamić is well on his way to completely dismantling our entire supporter culture. People keep saying, "Well, he's who he is, he represents us, he's one of our own," but honestly? We’re pathetic. We have zero numbers, zero presence, and barely any incidents left to speak of—we've just vanished. Meanwhile, the police act like they own the streets and do whatever they please. That's the reality we're living in. I catch myself wishing we were more like Greece, with the raw energy and the street protests, or Germany, where you can count on at least 5,000 people showing up for every away game, or plenty of other places I won't bother listing. But we aren't those kinds of people. We’re stuck here, and let's be real: we share a lot of the blame for how things turned out, though that’s a whole different conversation. How is that not obvious to you? It’s tragic. It is truly pathetic that this one man manages to pull the strings in every single sector of society—from the government and the opposition to the judges and the cops. Trying to compare this mess—the endless lists, the verbal harassment, the way the police swarm people like they're picking up matches, or the chaos during international matches—to anything else is a joke. Even the national team is already ruined, yet people still don't get it. If we want to actually do something besides singing songs about whoever we think screwed over the federation or some random group of outsiders, then we have to hit them where it actually hurts: their wallets. It’s Scotland vs. the US! This might be the last train leaving the station before it's too late.
