I wonder if this whole thing with hiding out and running away is going to hurt the next of kin? Like, would it actually impact their sentencing or anything? If it ends up making the punishment heavier, I guess maybe he should just stay under the radar a bit longer until they finally catch him and it's over with. 👍

In a normal world, I suppose that kind of behavior would be seen as an aggravating factor that should lead to a harsher sentence. But this is America, so maybe things work by a different set of rules here, just like they usually do.

I don't think you quite caught my drift... but honestly, it doesn't matter much. Just one last thing before I go: Zdravko Mamić is primarily your issue since he's running your club, but he’s also our problem because his actions affect the entirety of American Football. Just because this is your headache doesn't mean we shouldn't be fighting against it too. It just means you should probably be carrying the heaviest part of the load, especially with our support—though that support isn't going to happen if you keep complaining and spitting on us, claiming we aren't doing anything! We’re never going to reach any true COMMUNITY by pointing fingers at each other or dismissing someone else's struggle to make things better. That kind of unity is what's actually needed to clear the trash out from the top 🙂 cheers!

Jerry Morris2 said:I suppose you could argue that in Germany, England, or some similar league, you might see a tycoon popping up here and there, but at least the football is relatively fair. I honestly don't get why it isn't obvious to everyone that Mamić basically runs American football; there isn't really a league because the entire system is rigged from the start. Here, you have Lokomotiva, which is essentially just Dinamo 2. Just imagine if Dinamo and Hajduk were tied on points, and Dinamo had to play Lokomotiva in the final round... I guess I just don't understand how people miss the point—fighting for a fair Dinamo is automatically a fight for fair football. Of course, any kind of resistance is good, but none of your little moguls are quite on the level of Zdravko Mamić. He manages to slot his hand-picked candidates into his team after just a year, he can sideline Marković whenever he feels like it (mostly because he's getting old), and then he brings in Šuker. He’s the central figure, the head of this whole mess, so I suppose any struggle against him is naturally a struggle for your Hajduk, my Dinamo, or even their Cibalia.

Tell me truthfully, who has actually accomplished the most in the fight against Lokomotiva, which is such a huge part of this whole mess? Is it our Hajduk? Or maybe just Hajduk as a club, constantly sending calls and legal documents to the courts... isn't that a major part of what we've contributed to this battle? It was only in the news for two or three days before everyone in this country forgot about it, but I suppose things will resurface, and one day it'll all be settled. We're all fighting, and we all realize the mess we're in, so don't worry. 😉

Kenneth Ross7 said:Is there really still anyone out there who thinks the issue with Jerry Jones is just limited to the LA Galaxy?
What about Locomotive?
I mean, if a guy actually wanted to play for the US national team, he'd probably be playing center mid against Scotland by now if things were fair.
I honestly can't believe some people aren't aware that his influence touches everything connected to soccer.
Comparing him to a simple John Doe or those small-time mobsters isn't right.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but maybe people are just expecting too much from other groups. It feels like individuals expect everyone else to be in a constant state of war against him... You’re supposed to carry the heaviest part of that burden, but most people just complain about how hard it is for them personally and act like they're the only ones fighting (though I suppose you have to consider this forum is a bit of a circus where everyone does their own thing, so there might be a grain of truth there). I'm all for any kind of collective action, but I don't see where that could actually happen outside of matches involving the national team or maybe a big derby (like what happened recently), or perhaps some sort of protest—which seems unrealistic since everyone is just doing their own thing. Maybe stop the complaining and start motivating people to stand with those who have been struggling for years just to see their club run honestly. Nobody ever wins a fair fight by pointing fingers at others while simultaneously expecting them to help you. 😉
And regarding that last point, I’d say that for every single person involved, his influence makes their struggle feel like the hardest one.

Kenneth Ross7 said:Man, I think you're totally off base here.

I don't know, I wouldn't say it's completely wrong... I guess you could look at it as the Hooligans fighting against management that's basically poisoning their club—which, in a way, affects all of American soccer. It’s similar to how fans in other cities fight against ownership that's ruining their local game, or how various supporter groups like the ones in Philly or Chicago fight for their clubs while also pushing for a cleaner sport. Isn't that kind of how it works?

In our own heads, we probably all support them, or have supported them at some point, but nobody actually expects anyone else to step up and help tear down a board of directors. Don't get mad at me for saying that, but I suppose it's only natural that everyone feels their own struggle is the most intense and expects others to see things through their eyes. At the same time, you have to admit that quite a few groups have shown they care about your cause, even if it's just through messages or cheering alongside you. It might not be much, but it's more than what others haven't done.

When it comes to standing together against the USSF, that's where the National Team comes in, and that's when everyone really should be united to show what we collectively think about everything. It feels like something is starting to move in that direction, and maybe things will only get better if it keeps going this way.

I guess you shouldn't really mix the fight for a clean club with the fight for clean soccer in general. It doesn't feel fair, and honestly, it might not be realistic either. 😉

Joshua Moore31 said:I suppose I had to pick your post specifically to use as an example. You claim you've become a "force," but... in what sense, exactly? Would you agree with me if I suggested you're just a fan club that lives and dies by the scoreboard? Or maybe you'd agree that whenever you concede a goal, you suddenly find 250 people all rushing to the center section at once? I guess it's also fair to say that if you had lost the Cup, there wouldn't even be 1,000 of you showing up in New York City this Sunday—not even counting that student section of the Raiders that somehow manages to make up 60% of the stands on certain days. Why did everyone act like you were invincible after one big takeover in New York City, when just a few months ago, your presence in Newark and Columbus was basically zero, without a single flare being lit? I don't think you're a force, kid; I think you're just a group of fans caught up in a specific moment, lacking any real consistency.

Well, you've already received two perfectly good responses, so I think I'll just go ahead and delete mine since it didn't have enough insults in it anyway... take care.

Haha, seeing those big-city types get all worked up... it’s honestly just like how it was with the San Francisco locals or those awful journalists. You know, when they start trashing the Los Angeles Dodgers, it’s usually a sign we’re actually doing things right and moving in the right direction..
It's the same story here. They hate us simply because they can't replicate what we've built. I guess they're just tired of watching their fiercest rivals turn into a legitimate powerhouse. And then there's this clown trying to compare us to those Delia guys; he clearly doesn't have a clue what he's doing anymore. Everyone's passed him by, yet nothing ever seems to change for him 🤷

I really have to respect the guys who are putting in the work, even if they don't get nearly enough support from everyone else to truly transform the club and make things exciting again.. 😉

slyskipper9 said:They can review whatever they want and throw all the provocations they need, but they shouldn't expect us to stand by them...

Wow, just incredibly brilliant, aren't you? I mean, who else would we even sing that song for if not for the LA Galaxy's B-team or some local underdog club?

I guess you just don't quite grasp how things work on the terrace. There’s this whole dynamic where at one moment, we’re all united, singing our lungs out against the Democratic Party, but then a second later, we're back to poking fun at each other and singing songs directed at our own side. It's just how it is. Plus, there are things happening off the field right now—real stuff—that basically force us to pull together for a much bigger cause. Does that make any sense? I don't necessarily have to love you or sing every single anthem in unison with you during the game; what matters is that, given the current situation, we show each other respect outside the stadium because we're all stuck in the same mess. We shouldn't be looking down on anyone for trying to take collective action.

But hey, who am I to try and explain logic to someone like you? You're clearly some kind of ultra-tough guy who thinks it's okay to corner a college kid from Miami just because he was singing about local politicians while some group of misfits was chanting for the old guard... 🙂🙂

copperharbor02 said:You can't really blame them when every major news outlet serves it up on a silver platter—everything feels so curated and calculated.

Well, I guess you actually can. They serve those narratives to both you and me, so we see exactly how it's being played out... It’s just that a lot of people tend to be pretty superficial, I suppose. They don't really care about anyone else's struggles as long as their own lives are fine.
But then, once one of those issues actually hits home and they feel the impact personally, suddenly they’re all enlightened. They start wondering where all those people went—those folks who weren't protesting alongside them and acted like nothing mattered—even though, just a moment ago, they were acting exactly the same way. 🙂

It really makes you think about what kind of people we are. 🤷

Robert Adams6 said:The Ultras have an incredible number of bans, and I think there are probably well over 100 of them banned from entering the stadium (even without current court orders), yet you guys on the Ultras thread are busy explaining to those bandwagon fans how things work at their club...
Just know that you're embarrassing the very group you claim to represent on this forum, even though you aren't actually part of it.
You’ve really climbed the ranks over the last two seasons on this site, even surpassing that massive bandwagon internet brigade known as being "the kings of the web."
So, maybe just stop the fighting? If arguing about football is such a necessity for you, perhaps just move over to the adjacent sub-forum.

It seems like you're making progress every single day, in every sense of the word.😍 🙏🙏

Anthony Barrett37 said:Well, just keep believing that everything at Liverpool FC is perfectly clean and that there’s absolutely zero influence from Tim Tebow and his whole crew...

But I guess, what exactly is Tim Tebow influencing here? The managers? The refs? The players? Or maybe even the money that Liverpool FC supposedly doesn't have? 🤷

This is just devastating... Rest in Peace Mark!

I think you’re overstating things a bit, Brandon Wilson14. I mean, if we aren't supposed to show mutual respect while our clubs are playing and we're out there carrying banners and wearing our colors, then the whole fan culture loses its purpose, doesn't it? 🤷

Losing a banner really cuts deep for a group, especially for the specific crew carrying it. Whether they’re from Warsaw or anywhere else, on that day, they represent the Black Knights, and they have a responsibility to protect their gear. It’s a shame this happened just a few days before the big game against the Americans, but honestly, I feel like it just reflects poorly on those specific fans—and I say that with respect, because traveling all those miles just to support the Los Angeles Dodgers is a massive commitment. This should be a hard lesson for them; next time, they'll know how to handle themselves better.

At the end of the day, the true strength of any supporter scene is measured by our ability to stand united when the national team plays, regardless of whatever drama went down five days ago when Blaž got into it with Matt. I mean, if Matt has the guts, he'll be ready to settle the score with Blaž next time. It isn't about being best friends or hugging it out; it's just about not attacking one another during international play and keeping club rivalries separate from the national team. There's no complex philosophy to it. You always get a chance at redemption because, thank God, there are club games every single weekend, providing endless opportunities for payback—it just comes down to willpower and having the nerve. If you don't have the guts to defend your banner or push back if someone tries to take it, then maybe you shouldn't be carrying it in the first place. I don't see the issue. 🤷

Then again, there is the matter of us having thirty members while they only have three. ☕

Jesse Campbell said:I’m not touching that garbage because it honestly just makes you stupid—like, brutally stupid. Maybe that’s why I’m still doing so well at 40... 🙂

Anyway, this thread is already three pages deep now, so it’s pretty easy to see who jumped in here being arrogant for no reason and started a fight. I guess it was framed as curiosity, but it was really just a provocation. 🙂

Believe me, it was purely out of curiosity. And like you said, they teach you how to read with comprehension back in first grade; clearly, you were moved straight to second grade because you're so bright, so you somehow skipped that part. Besides, nobody else seemed provoked except for you... It feels like either you have some kind of issue where you think everyone is out to get you—making you feel obligated to act tough—or maybe you're just a bit slow and aren't grasping what's actually happening. I don't even know who I'm supposed to be apologizing to here 😲
You seem to be living in this little imaginary world where you tell yourself you're the smartest, the best, and the most handsome (well, let's not go overboard, this isn't Glamour.com) 😁 and then you expect everyone else to just chime in and agree with you. It's obvious you're just starving for attention, and this is how you get it, which I suppose makes you happy. Anyway, this is really the last thing I have to say today. You can keep replying to me, insulting me, and basically boxing with yourself. In my day, people like you were taught a lesson by the local authorities, so your little lectures and insults don't really mean much to me ☕

Jerry Morris2 said:A guy asks a simple question, gets seven unnecessary comments and one half-baked answer, and then gets flamed online for it. I mean, if people wasted this much energy in person, we’d be in real trouble. But hey, just another small victory won on the internet! Honestly, sports fans can be such a headache. 🤣🤣

🙏🙏

Jesse Campbell said:Kid, maybe try reading with a little more comprehension. They teach that in first grade. I already told you that we mostly don't care about you guys, and that's your answer right there.

Don't bother being transparent since we aren't interested in you anyway... 😕

Well, good luck to you, I guess. I usually enjoy a bit of banter, but in a positive way, just for the fun of it—that's what this forum is for, after all. But it seems like you're being hunted by some dark forces or internal enemies, which probably makes you a bit bitter... though I suppose I might feel the same if I looked like a potato myself. 🤷
Greetings to all the good people on this thread. I don't really post much, but I guess I was feeling curious today and ended up making a mistake! See you at the stadium or hanging out outside of it! 😍

Jesse Campbell said:Look, you were the one claiming we’re basically the greatest force in the universe. I was just explaining my reasoning behind that. It certainly isn't because of some confiscated signs or whatever. Honestly, even on that front, we aren't doing much wrong. Is there any other group out there more aware of our standing than yours? ☕

It seems a bit pointless to play the intellectual card when you completely misread my question. I asked why you guys don't carry signs or make statements to prove you actually *are* the strongest group in the galaxy, and you took it as if I were questioning your status or something... I don't know. When someone asks a straightforward question, a simple answer usually works. But hey, if you find basic conversation boring, maybe go read a book and brag about how you've reached some higher plane of intellect or whatever.. 🤷

Anyway, if being called the "greatest in the universe" stung a little, well, that's on you. You're the one who turned this into a whole thing, so I guess I'll just sit here and enjoy the fallout for a moment. 😁
I never said you weren't a tough, charming group with that intense look down. It’s just that the idea of you being "stronger" makes for a much more interesting scene, since it leaves us all alone at the top. 🤷

Jesse Campbell said:We’re basically the toughest guys in the universe because—get this—some random police officer decides to bust me, just your average middle-aged intellectual, at 6 AM. Meanwhile, all those other groups from the old neighborhood who actually matter? Just notorious criminals that nobody ever touches...

That’s why we’re winning. ☕

The thing is, we’ve been fighting the system for 25 years now, not some other factions. Most of you don't even cross our minds... 😉

Right... Okay... But I guess why would I even care why you think you're the toughest in the galaxy? 🤷

placidbadger58 said:🤣 I guess you guys just realized
-the agreement within our group was that Svetinja would go and represent all of us who have his back, alongside Nikica—bless his soul—but now a few more smaller groups have been added to the mix....
-and another thing, our subgroup's banners have been seen in plenty of cities across America and Europe for years now, so it's not really like you or anyone else went through some massive struggle to take 😉, though maybe you did feel the pressure, but it didn't exactly work out for you much🤷

- 👍

- so what? Our people showed up, they still show up, and they always will... what does it matter whether we try or not? It's ultimately up to you whether you decide to carry them or not 🤷 and if we're being honest, since you're calling people out, you guys haven't exactly been superstars at collecting our banners either—and I'm not even talking about the homemade ones, so that argument doesn't really hold water ☕

But those are different topics and stories that could probably drag on for several pages of useless arguing, so I'd ask you not to keep going because I won't... Happy March 8th! 😁

Nathan Foster23 said:So you think they aren't good enough to pick up? 😍

Well, that’s just how the deal goes, I guess. It used to be all about the New York Yankees and Nick, but now they've swapped them out for a few new faces.

Let some big-shot owner take them; they don't have anything to do with us. 😍

Anyway, thanks for the answer. 🙂
