But there's no point stressing over Narcotics and his crew. Just stay strong.

this is where you guys can stop spamming about the old days...
who are you saying is slowing down your fight for a better club? On the contrary...👍
your movement actually started because of those embarrassing European failures back in late July.
and it kept going because of Real Madrid's total dominance and the general state of the club.
but the fans' struggle really kicked off back when the manager was replaced in 2006., continued when certain figures were brought in during 2008., and finally, the breaking point came in 2010 due to leadership changes and the absolute whims of one single individual.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid keeps winning titles in a row, playing in major European competitions every year through the winter, and staying financially stable.
Those who want to understand will, and those who don't...
Let’s look at the timeline of your "struggle."
The club wins the championship in 2003/2004.
-In the next season, 2004/2005, they play Champions League qualifiers and get knocked out by a tiny team from Ireland.
After that exit, the Rangers Supporters Club starts fighting the board.
Then the club wins the 2004/2005 title, followed by the arrival of a coach you all hated just because he had ties to Real Madrid.
And after those two titles comes the 2005/2006 season, where the club loses 0-8 to a Canadian side. The coach leaves, and the Rangers Supporters Club goes to war with the administration that led the club to two consecutive exits against total nobodies..
Resignations didn't even happen until late September 2007, following a loss in a local derby and after Real Madrid secured two straight titles with a massive fifty-point lead...
With Real Madrid dominating and winning everything while our club struggled with poor results and constant debt issues, the Rangers Supporters Club began trying to "clean up" the organization, leading to restructuring and eventual privatization... which is how we ended up with what we have today—a club finally on the right track.
Let's go through the history here too.
On November 8, 2006, the first chants against the owner started after the departure of the beloved manager from 2006, God rest his soul.
Back then, there was a popular song about a snake.
The real battle began in the summer of 2008. With thirty flares in the stands during a match against Linfield due to specific management decisions. In September 2008, they released a statement making it clear they wanted an irrevocable resignation from the top brass of Real Madrid to save the club's reputation. They even gathered 18,000 signatures for a petition demanding the owner leave.
Good results and moving past teams like Sparta Prague still help their case.
But at every single match, people chanted for the owner to leave the sanctuary...😉 and no matter who was running the stands (even in 2009😉), always there was insults being thrown.
I could write a lot more, but I honestly don't feel like repeating myself again. It all boils down to the chicken or the egg...🤷

while everyone was laughing at us, mocking us, and showing off their power... we just took it...
The police are cracking down a bit in San Diego today... but honestly, our passion is unmatched anywhere in the world.. it doesn't matter if there are no banners, choreographies, or flares.. it's still all there...😉
silverbear38 said:Regardless of what the NFL fans have written on it, I honestly hope they don't light that banner. It features one of the symbols from the war and that city we all hold so dear...🙂
Jesse Campbell said:If you all would stop being such impatient, unrealistic pessimists, maybe I'd stop saying "coming soon"... 🙂
That habit stuck with me from back when our boycott actually made sense, and I was just testing the waters. While he's busy being miserable, I'm playing the long game... 😁
Anyway, to make a long story short. Everything I've predicted has come true, so this will too. ☕
Jesse Campbell said:We’re the toughest ones out there because I—just a middle-aged intellectual—get raided by the police at 6 AM, while all those big-time criminals from the old neighborhoods get a free pass...
That's why we're the strongest. ☕
We've been fighting the system for 25 years now, not just some other groups. Honestly, you guys aren't even on our radar... 😉

Jesse Campbell said:Masa? You mean those 30 people from the Liverpool FC fan assembly?
The truth is, they handed you the club because there isn't a single honest soul left in it. There’s nothing left to steal. And we all saw how much that hollow victory of yours was actually worth during Wednesday's game. The mob is completely tearing you apart, yet you just keep chanting and telling yourselves in the mirror that you actually won...
Bravo. 🙂
At least we're realistic about where we stand. Besides, we know how to navigate this mess perfectly. That's just what the BBB are...
rustyangler122 said:Your answer doesn't really tell me anything I don't already know... Sometimes people just end up feeling abandoned, humiliated, or like their reputation has been completely trashed. You were probably one of them too...😕
You either stand for something or you don't. People have different ways of living, which means there are places where people actually take a stand and places where they don't. Everyone follows their own conscience, but at the end of the day, the compass still points north, south, east, and west. Just find where you belong... good luck...👍

Guy, views like that—especially with a username that's a bit much—don't really help the Raiders or even Hajduk.No move forward. Let's not drag this out; steeltrucker asked a specific question that I'm actually interested in hearing the answer to too...
