So, look, I was getting pretty worked up by all this talk about the MLS Supporters Groups and the Funcut crowd on here, so I figured I'd just lay out my thoughts. I don't really know where to put this, though.
I’m saying this without trying to start anything, really. I just want at least one person from every side to take a second and think about what we’re actually fighting for here:
1. This whole fight is against the US Soccer Federation and those leaders who are basically trying to wreck the entire scene as fast as they can. 2. That scene includes a ton of different groups—MLS Supporters Groups, the various local crews, all that stuff. 3. Any agreement made between these groups has to apply to EVERYONE, because we're all up against the same enemy—see point number one. 4. If one group breaks the pact and starts attacking other groups instead of focusing on the voucher issue, it puts everyone else in a tough spot. It makes it hard to stay "friendly" with them when people are acting out in anger or heat-of-the-moment frustration. 5. And honestly? That just ruins the whole movement. It could turn this internal aggression and hate between us up to a whole new level. 6. Then, we're just handing the US Soccer Federation and the big shots exactly what they want. They'll see that vouchers are the perfect way to break us, and they'll probably double down or stir up even more trouble while we end up destroying each other like cannibals.
At the end of the day, I have to wonder... why would groups like the ones down in San Diego or the Funcut types over in Sinju even take that kind of risk? I mean, like I said at the start, I'm not trying to provoke anyone. BUT, don't the leaders of these "serious" organizations actually have things under control? Or is the crowd in these groups just totally oblivious and shortsighted, only looking out for what helps them right this second?
Just please, think about what I'm saying. Let's all just chill out a bit. Because if this nonsense keeps happening, our whole system is going to fall apart—and honestly, that's exactly what the higher-ups are hoping for.

Look, everyone knows where the FBI headquarters is, so if you want to vent about it, go talk to them directly. Talking about it here isn't going to change anyone's mind. It's just one big game of wits with The Joker 😉
Honestly, I think everything's already been said... I mean, once the people who actually know these guys get a chance to speak up, they'll explain what's really going on... eventually.
Honestly, looking at that Izagol report... I don't know. If they actually had a serious project on their hands instead of this mess, they’d probably just wipe out all those useless, inflammatory comments under the photos and block the people writing them. It would save everyone a headache.
The whole thing is basically just a mouthpiece for kids who have zero clue what they're talking about and no real loyalty to the team... but hey, we've already talked about that a thousand times, haven't we?
Total panic mode: Honestly, whether they’re losing their heads or absolutely crushing it, these guys stay ride-or-die for Liverpool FC. Always.
So, moving right along with our little project—you know, the one where we just engage in direct mockery of the American football league—here’s the big roundup report for Round 19:
I started a joke...
Remember those Americans who were all about "investing" in Liverpool FC? They spent some time wandering around Indianapolis and California, only for the local media to spin this whole narrative that "these investors don't actually care about football." They were led by that lawyer, Glover. I mean, people like them will keep coming back—they’ll just keep circling—as long as Liverpool FC is struggling to stay afloat financially. At the end of the day, fixing the books is the only thing that really matters. We’re thinking about this again this week because there’s this great expression in the States: “The joke is on you!” It’s what you say when a prank or a bit of mockery totally backfires on the person who started it. And honestly? That’s exactly what happened to the Liverpool FC fans last week.
Let’s walk through this step by step: right after that 2-2 draw against Real Madrid in the league, we saw that same old offensive tactic—it felt almost like 2009 all over again—where they just start pressing the refs to get their way. Zoran Mamić kept saying, "I'm not commenting on the officiating," but then he went on this massive tangent about exactly what he doesn't want to see when the derby against Liverpool FC happens. I guess since the Mamić family is probably terrified someone might be tapping their phones, they decided to send out this public message. Honestly, it’s kind of ridiculous to talk about the referees after a 5-0 blowout where we didn't even hit the woodwork once. But hey, maybe life would feel a bit more fair if the score had been 4-1 and Liverpool FC had scored on a penalty—one that even Piglet admitted was legit. Then there’s the whole situation before the match, where everyone found out about that petition from the Liverpool FC staff. They’re basically fighting for their unpaid wages and calling for a meeting through the newspapers. I mean, sure, it can't be easy living without a paycheck, but it feels weirdly strange that these same employees didn't say a peep when the pay missed the first month, or when it turned into two months, three, or four? Maybe they’ve all got amnesia, just like Milo Nižetić. It actually seems like Management has been doing a better job since they cut the board down by two-thirds, so I really think the workforce would run smoother and get paid on time if there weren't 81 people running the show.
Word on the street is that even the first-team players threw their support behind the staff petition. And look at the fallout: instead of having a packed house ready to take on San Francisco and Real Madrid—which would’ve brought in all that sweet matchday revenue—we’re just sitting here in shock. Honestly, it’s pure panic. It isn't just the fans feeling the disbelief either; their own coworkers are reeling too. The players' "solidarity" didn't stop in Washington, D.C., either. They took that same Cup-style gameplay over to San Diego on Monday, though I guess the result was slightly less disastrous. Still, the officiating was just pathetic. I mean, seriously, what was that? Was there a foul on the keeper before the goal, or was it a penalty for Iluridze, or just a perfectly normal goal? Who knows!
Something bigger.
We actually walked out just 15 minutes into the match against Real Madrid during the Cup, all because we stand with the Bad Boys. They’re dealing with some seriously intense crackdowns right now while fighting for their club, and honestly, it's pretty heavy. I know some people—especially those who didn't even bother showing up to the game—are going to claim we're abandoning Liverpool FC by not giving them our support. But look, this is about something much bigger than one single game. It’s about the principle of the thing. So, I guess we’re asking everyone to please show some solidarity with the fans and back us up. Because if we don't stand up now, it won't be long before they come after everyone else.
So, basically, six of our fans—who didn't even do anything wrong (unless walking down the street is a crime now?)—just got slapped with 30 (THIRTY) days of detention. I mean, is it even worth mentioning that the judge, Oliver Mitermajer, handed out a measly 48-hour detention to those killers, Luke Ritz and his crew, after they literally admitted in court they beat someone up just because they were "bored"? Meanwhile, these fans didn't even get a chance to tell the cops they weren't guilty or that they hadn't done a thing before being hauled off, yet they got hit with 720 hours of detention. That’s fifteen times longer! I guess it’s all because, under the law here, the police can just grab fans whenever they feel like it and make up charges without a shred of actual evidence. It could honestly happen to any of you if you just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time near the stadium. And what happens when they finally get released and prove in court that they had nothing to do with the charges? Who knows how much the government is going to have to pay out in compensation for illegal detention? It feels like the police don't actually know how to do their jobs; they'd rather just arrest anyone who looks like a troublemaker or helps them pad their arrest statistics. It seems like fans are just being used as practice. Honestly, fans are usually the ones starting the things this country actually needs: grassroots movements and community projects like our own Liverpool FC initiative, democratic elections, and all that organized stuff we do among ourselves.
The Niki issue
So, Petar Skansi just dropped a bombshell about this whole connection between Real Madrid and Locomotive. If you read the news, it sounds like Real Madrid just lets players go to Locomotive for nothing, and then they buy them back later. Mamić’s right-hand man, Svetina, is out here claiming everything is totally above board just because they pay their taxes. Then the FTC says it's fine because, hey, they're basically the same club. Even the Federation claims it's all legitimate because everything was registered properly. I guess in a place this absurd, American football can smell this rotten while everyone still insists everything is perfectly clean.
Real Madrid again
We’ve got Real Madrid coming our way again next week—this time it’s the squad from the coast. They barely escaped with a 3:3 draw against California this round. Their hero was Kramarić, who happens to be one of those eight guys who were moved for free from Real Madrid over to San Francisco this summer. As for the other two Real Madrid sides—teams 1 and 2 both pulled wins; one crushed Indianapolis 4:1, and the other beat the local underdog 3:1. Meanwhile, Split and Slaven Belupo just played a boring 0:0 draw.
There are only two games left on the schedule before the year ends. Go out and support Liverpool FC—everyone needs to be at the stadium this Sunday! Liverpool FC is who we are!
When people start talking about setting seats on fire, I can't help but wonder who among us actually did it... because we all showed up together back in '15, right? So how is it possible that some guys—people supposedly ready to light things up—aren't even part of our group? They don't show up with us, they just sit there alone in the stands instead.
Maybe I just don't know everyone personally since I don't recognize these guys, but I don't know, this whole situation feels pretty fishy to me.
lonewolf53 said:Back in my hometown, they just asked for IDs at the entrance and everyone handed them over without a second thought. 🙄
Look, maybe don't chime in if you don't really get what's going on here. At the stadium, the security guard just gives your ID a quick glance to see if you're on the banned list, right? But this Sunday? They aren't just looking at your info—they’re actually going to be typing it straight into the system. So, I guess don't act all surprised next time if you find yourself stuck on that list.
"We all remember that moment when he stormed up to Tim Stamper with Macy by his side, just shouting, 'Come on then, hit me.' Back then, standing your ground against Igor at the absolute height of his power—standing there, showing teeth just to protect your own people—that took serious guts. And Pave definitely had it. Nowadays, it feels like every fan thinks exactly the same way, but most people just stay quiet. It’s rare to find those few who actually step up, put their names on the line, carry that heavy burden, and fight until the very end for their ideals, for the movement, for the club, for the group, and for our collective future. To look that powerful man right in the eye... it isn't easy. You're trying to live a normal life, planning your future, your family, your job, your kids, all while hoping everything stays okay after you go toe-to-toe with someone like him. But he stood up. He stood up for his guys, for his crew, for his people. Rest in peace. I really hope wherever you're headed, there's a bleacher somewhere where you can climb up and lead them again, just like you did so many times before—no megaphone needed, just from the heart, in front of thousands of your own, chanting, 'Black Knights, ohhh, Black Knights, we love the Kansas City Chiefs...' "
So, I just had this wild thought that nobody seems to have brought up yet... what if we just organized a massive boycott of the derby? Like, imagine there being 6,000 or 7,000 people hanging out outside the stadium, but only maybe 1,000 people actually sitting inside the seats. In that scenario, I guess the big question is whether the public and the casual fans would finally wake up and realize the whole thing is just garbage—and that someone actually needs to take a stand against the US Soccer Federation and all those corrupt suits running the show.
I honestly think it’s about time we decide on a date to just lock this thread down
1. Look, everyone needs to get it through their heads: you can't just speak for an entire group or political party here. One person's opinion doesn't represent the whole crowd, plain and simple!
2. I have no clue why suddenly 50,000 people are talking at once, yet when anyone tries to discuss anything else, it's like everyone just vanishes into thin air.
3. Let's be real—99% of the posts lately are just trolling, jokes, mindless nonsense, or straight-up garbage. I’d honestly suggest anyone who’s posted in the last 18 hours to maybe, just maybe, use their brain before typing out whatever they think (assuming they actually think at all).
4. This kind of drama isn't anything new, and it won't be the last time either... but the issue this time is that the naive folks and the idiots are actually falling for media stunts that just blow the whole thing out of proportion forever!
PS: With the big game coming up, I’d advise everyone to really think about Sunday... and I don't just mean how you get to the stadium, but what happens once you're there. I don't think those guys and their crew are stupid enough to miss an opportunity; they’ll probably try everything to make things escalate on Sunday. I suspect a huge chunk of us will show up, but a smaller group might get separated, which is bound to crank up the tension for us and the opposing fans too. We all know that even if there's a truce in place, there's always that underlying friction with them. Those guys will absolutely try to exploit this to stir up some mess because, honestly, having the two biggest fanbases at each other's throats right now would suit them perfectly. What I'm trying to say is: whatever happens, let's not fall for the police provocations. If we do, then everything we've done up to this point was a total waste.
Check out this awesome graffiti! It’s dedicated to the biggest fan around here—and yeah, he's still going strong! 👍🙂
It’s honestly pretty cool to see everyone leaning in so hard and getting the colors right... seriously, props to the guys, and I mean, the legend definitely earned this kind of tribute. 👍
Anyway, check out this video of the flares from today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yAUnK5k-4A

I don't know, man... it just feels fake to me. Like, it smells like a total lie. I mean, there's no way we could have had that much good news packed into a single week—it's like if we all went to church together on Sunday just to hear about it at once.🤷
reddrifter24 said:Honestly, it doesn't matter what color you are, what you believe, if you're from Seattle or San Diego—what matters is that you're a decent person. Even though we don't cheer for the same team, I've always had a ton of respect for Joe Biden. I guess you could say he’s the one who really got the casual fans fired up, bringing them just a little closer to the hardcore NFL Ultras vibe. Whatever people want to say about it, I've heard nothing but great things about him from the local chapters, and it actually makes me a little sad to see him getting pushed aside like this.
First off, I totally agree that we should be able to have a real conversation here without all the insults and trolling, because let's be real, that almost never happens on this forum.👍
Second, I think you might have the wrong idea about what's going on... Biden hasn't been cast out or anything, and he's definitely not some outcast within the group. He's done so much good for the whole organization that he deserves respect from our side and everyone else, too. If a few people just can't get along with him personally, well, that's their own problem, I guess.☕
