It feels like after any big game, the scapegoats just start popping up everywhere, almost like mushrooms after a heavy rain.

The flares were pretty weak too..
Probably one of the worse derbies we've had..
See you guys on April 5th, fellas 😍

I guess after seeing your incredible displays, it’s hard for anyone else to even come close to doing something decent. 😉
As long as the local supporters stay like this, I suppose we'll never be the top group on the West Coast. 😢

Can someone please explain why we're giving this guy so much credit?

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but there's no question he's an agent. So, I guess I just don't get why we're acting like his message deserves this kind of attention.

Sam Sullivan58 said:You can't really compare those games to a real rivalry derby, and I think you know that yourself... not every match carries the same weight, so it doesn't make sense to apply the same logic to everything. For instance, during a big derby, when the crowd starts chanting against the local rivals from the city or the coast, the whole stadium rises up because you're rooting for the Los Angeles Dodgers while simultaneously trying to get under the opponent's skin. But when we play Inter? You're strictly rooting for the Dodgers. It seems like people just get their emotions a bit tangled—one minute they're backing the team, the next they're just focused on hating the opposition, and honestly, there aren't really any songs that capture that specific vibe. 😁I'm mostly joking, but that's probably the gist of it. Anyway, take care.

Well, if the same philosophy doesn't apply to every single game, then the issue clearly isn't the melody.
I guess the real problem is just that people find it easier to hate than to actually love something. 🙄

Sam Sullivan58 said:I feel like people are losing interest in cheering because our local scene just doesn't have any decent terrace anthems anymore. It’s all just shouting chants... I honestly think we should look at how they do things elsewhere; they seem to have picked up all the best melodies and actually sing them in the stands, through thick and thin. This really applies to the Ultras too, because if I'm being honest, our songs have always been pretty weak, mostly just consisting of yelling. It makes sense that people would get tired of it.

🙂
But then again, how were people supposed to cheer during those old rivalries against teams like Inter or Skonta?
I guess there would have been different songs back then.

Melissa Hernandez97 said:Today was an absolute rock bottom. It’s pathetic that we have an 80-year-old man having to step up just to save our reputation. I'm tired of the endless messages and the fans constantly shouting that we need to do something. Some total scum is literally mocking us right in our own stadium, then some little punk starts provoking us after a goal, and all we do is sing if they don't back off. Instead of storming the pitch, charging into the locker rooms, and making sure they're terrified to ever show their faces here again, we're sitting here mourning a championship that we probably won't even win while Mamićev is around. NOBODY fears us anymore, and honestly, I think that's the saddest thing about this generation of Ultras.

"we need to do something"

So why didn't you run out onto the field then?

It's not the nineties anymore where things get handled that way. I guess we have to be a lot smarter than that.

John Richardson5 said:Just leave the guy alone. Everything that needed to be said has already been said. I don't see any point in lecturing him, especially here on this forum. Let's just close this chapter once and for all. For me personally, it ended right after that game against San Francisco and... well, you know.

Is he actually doing anything wrong right now, or is he actively bothering you or the group? Plus, this whole thing has been chewed over five hundred times by now. If someone has an issue with him, they should probably just settle it privately, face-to-face.

Don't get me wrong, I just think we look pretty ridiculous and petty if we keep this up.

So, making a living based on what you used to do as part of the Ultras isn't a bad thing?
🙄

Thomas Castillo11 said:That’s a fair take, if that’s how you see it.

But my view is that if they really want to blacklist you, they don't even need to worry about whether you bought a ticket or not. They can make things difficult much sooner and much more easily than that.
I mean, look—how is it possible that the 12th Man already has a blacklist when nobody in history has ever actually used an ID to buy a ticket? Well, obviously except for those three girls and one guy from the South, but what happens down there anyway?
Excuse me?
Well, people were detained for right-wing stuff and extremist slogans, so they're probably on the blacklist. And they didn't use their IDs to buy tickets either.
What I'm trying to say is that you can't really stop them from putting someone on a list just by refusing to buy a ticket under your own name.
Fighting against blacklists is definitely important.

You're just going in circles. Honestly, everyone is just looking out for themselves here. It's just "me first" and whatever.

Back in a small town in Ohio, they were checking IDs at the entrance and everyone just handed them over without any trouble.🙄

wearyraven25 said:You're comparing apples to oranges here.
Are we talking about how buying vouchers or tickets just guarantees a spot on a blacklist?

Because I’m talking about actually fighting against that blacklist.
To me, it means refusing to hand over any data to anyone as long as these blacklists exist—as long as they haven't been dismantled and as long as fans who aren't even banned are still being blocked from getting into the stadium.

If we're being consistent about this, then we shouldn't be giving out any info at all, even if Liverpool FC were playing in the Champions League final and needed to scrape a win at the Rose Bowl in the final round to clinch the title.

I'm glad someone finally put this into words; I agree with everything said here, from start to finish.

Dennis Davis97 said:Honestly, we might as well just stick to singing old folk songs.🤷

But seriously, what else can you do? It feels like every single thing that happens just ends up working in their favor. 🤷

Jeffrey Ruiz3 said:Just a bunch of losers standing shoulder to shoulder, insulting everyone for the full 90 minutes. What a hell of a game.

🙏

I was thinking that at the next game, we should really start singing songs that take aim at the system. Maybe even chant something like "the mafia makes the laws," because those shouldn't just be our chants—they should represent the entire fan base. We need everyone to roar for the Los Angeles Dodgers and our patron saint, maybe two or three times, and that would do the trick. After that, everything else should just stay focused on standing against the establishment.

analogheron19 said:Who has ever actually benefited from smoke bombs?
What on earth are they even doing at the stadium?

From what I can gather by watching how fans behave, smoke bombs are mostly used to pump up the crowd. When one goes off, it feels like everyone's adrenaline spikes; the chanting gets louder, and the energy just shifts—kind of like when flares go off, except you don't see it coming until suddenly everything feels more intense.
I suppose that while they can be great for the atmosphere, they can also cause twice as much trouble. So, I think whoever is throwing them really needs to have their head on straight. For instance, instead of tossing them onto the track, they could just throw them into a drain so nobody gets hurt.

A huge shoutout to this press release
🙏

Joseph Torres18 said:Is anyone planning on heading out to El Paso tomorrow? I think there might still be some space available if you want to go. 🙂

I mean, sure, but that might just be because of your signature. Nothing. 🤣

I was wondering if there's any update on the Mario case? Specifically regarding the officer, Zvonimir Mitrović—has he been questioned yet? I'm curious if he'll actually face any charges or consequences for what happened.

gentlenomad50 said:Shout out to all the real Real Madrid fans—honestly, screw those jerks,

I’m actually a Juventus fan, but that doesn't really matter. I just wanted to say (even if this sounds kind of weird and stupid) thanks to all the Boys who are standing up against that arrogant prick. I just want to say: don't back down, no matter how hard it gets. He’s turned everyone against you—the police, the UEFA types, those idiots from the West!!! He’s just waiting for you to make even the slightest mistake so he can call some famous press conference and talk nonsense about everything under the sun. I have so much willpower and desire to be there in the stands with you and support you as much as humanly possible... Real Madrid has lost its soul, unfortunately...

The only way out of this so-called totalitarianism run by that guy is to absolutely ignore him, his press conferences, and even the club itself. Sadly, that seems impossible... Let the slogan "Mamić is a crook" just keep going... If I could, I'd spray it on every single wall in front of his house in Chicago; I’d personally pay for every can of spray paint used. Maybe try organizing some sort of protest with the Torcida Armada and the others... Something needs to happen so the media attention stays on you instead of him. Maybe that’s how you can change the minds of the other fans he basically bought off with cheap perks...

Man, this is terrible. I'm so worked up, I probably shouldn't have even posted this...

GUYS, I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO GET WHAT YOU WANT. IF YOU HAVE TO DRINK A BOTTLE OF BOZA TO DO IT, I'M READY FOR THAT TOO...

YOUR MOTTO: UNTIL THE VERY LAST MAN!!!

🤷
You're about 4 or 5 years late.

Jose Lopez13 said:Has this group really sunk this low? People are getting all worked up over some Al Pacino piece while completely ignoring what that jerk actually wrote regarding El Paso, Brussels, and Prague...

I guess it isn't about who actually wrote the piece, but rather the content itself. If some random guy had written it, I think you'd be just as fired up about it.🙄

Robert Adams6 said:😬

They'll get 1,700 tickets at just $1.50 each 🤣
while the Bad Boys over in Vienna get 500 tickets for $25 apiece 🤣

For some groups, fan life is all about paper confetti and easy displays,
but for us, it’s a fight until the very last man stands!
🙂

🤷
I really don't want to restart the debate about how much nonsense is floating around in this "your" slogan, so please, let's not go there.
Out of a hundred well-intentioned reasons, just don't.
And if there's one sad but true reason, it's that you can't function without us. (It's the same way we wouldn't be able to manage without you if we were in your shoes—and honestly, we probably would have been, 100%, if our club actually had people like that. But I guess we just wiped those types out from the root, whereas for you, they've finally reached their peak. Still, I hope that old Gundulić's saying comes true: "who could be worse than the ones who are here now?")
In Miami, you have 95% support, even if it's hidden, so there's no point in complaining. We also want to see the North Stand full of your colors again!
Just stay brave. Like you guys always say, To the last man!

stormygardener15 said:I get where you're coming from. After twenty years of darkness at the club, you basically get used to just constantly fighting. We went through the exact same thing here before the Code was established. It wasn't until we finally chose people who actually knew how to lead the club that we saw any light at the end of the tunnel.

And it’s not about throwing flares, causing anarchy, or acting out anymore. Now, the club belongs to us—even if it isn't official yet—so we carry the responsibility. The days of handouts and Republican Party politics and all that nonsense are over.

Once you start thinking and acting with that sense of responsibility, everything changes. I guess it’s kind of like when you’re a kid and then you have a child of your own. You don't act out the way you used to, and maybe even occasionally you find yourself telling that kid how they should behave.

I really hope you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel soon too, so that the Dinamo fans can eventually manage or oversee their own club. Maybe then you'll truly understand what that level of responsibility feels like.

.

I agree with you on one point, but I have to disagree on another. Why? Well, if we are truly responsible now, and if this is indeed our club like you say, then why are we just bowing down to UEFA and doing exactly what they dictate? Is it for the good of the club? Fine. I can understand following orders while we're dealing with this financial "crisis," but if this keeps up, it doesn't make sense to me. Because that submission is exactly what they want from us. In the past, even if we were sitting fifth in the standings and missing out on European competition, we would have stood our ground and protected our pride. ☕
