casualwolf48 said:I’m tired of this whole thing regarding Štimac. Comparing him to Mamić is just ridiculous. But the most important part of your response is that you either don't realize, or you refuse to admit, that this isn't just about how Mamić operates against us. We are the primary targets, that's true, but Mamić does the exact same things to you too.
He rigs matches, hand-picks referees, gifts trophies like he's doing right now, chooses the national team coach, the federation president, and so on. Basically, nothing happens in American soccer without his knowledge, and even worse, without his blessing.
He treats your club like some tiny, insignificant provincial outfit. And then you claim that because he's in San Francisco, we could just deal with him one way or another. It doesn't matter where he lives, what he drives, or when he pulls the strings that affect your club, all of us, and American soccer in general.
Then he shows up at the stadium and acts like he owns the place. That's the icing on the cake. And you talk about how it's "just how things are here," implying we should just deal with it. What would you even do?
All of this affects you too. It’s happening to you as well. The repression just isn't as blatant toward you—not today. But we'll see about tomorrow.

You claim to have been at the stadium for 30 years, yet you haven't exactly kept pace with everything that has unfolded over the last decade.🤷

How are we supposed to take down Mamić and the Federation while guys like Mrki, Livaja, and Svaguša were running the show at the club? Even now, our Kansas City Chiefs isn't a normal club due to the remnants of the old guard. It’s only become an honest organization, free of the cronies, after 20 years, and maybe only now can we actually start addressing the real issues. Getting rid of Štimac and the emergence of our current leadership are two incredible feats in this country. I met a decent guy in town recently—someone who's traveled to away games quite a bit over the last 7 or 8 years—and he told me, "You know who's the only one who can stand up to Mamić?" I asked him who, and he said Štimac. 😁 I don't think I need to explain why getting rid of Štimac matters any further.

Mamić and the Federation could be removed in one fell swoop. You're either afraid or you're just being foolish. I don't see any third option. It would be much easier to get rid of Mamić 200 times over than it would be to bring our current leadership back into the club. I wrote here at least three years ago, if not more, that you would have to ban the opposition from Europe, and only then would you have a normal club in four years. But three years later, you're still falling in line because you can't even stop a single match in European competition. Mamić and his circle—including people like Bandić and the rest—live off player transfers. There's no money left in the club; they recently took out a $50 million loan. This means they've likely pocketed around $70 million through shady dealings. It’s no wonder Turudić protects him when he’s handed $50,000 just to grab a coffee. Someone once wrote that Americans are a pathetic bunch who will sell themselves for anything. But it doesn't even require massive sums; some people sell themselves for $1000 a month. After everything I've witnessed in the last 6 or 7 years while trying to live and work normally, if I told someone in Sweden about it, they'd probably go into shock.
Murić left because of Mamić, and he was easily the strongest player of his generation. He sold Halilović for what amounted to a pittance. As far as I'm concerned, he's done, and I still find it hard to believe you haven't been banned for three or four years. In ten minutes, the whole house of cards would collapse. Everyone would start pointing fingers, and half of them would end up in prison. And please, don't bring up Malmo or flares again; that's the stupidest argument ever. You could have shut them down in a thousand other ways.
Or, the most likely scenario: there would be unprecedented repression, and the public would turn against you. Right now, it's just madness.😂 (this guy doesn't know whether to laugh or cry)
If Glover were to buy the Kansas City Chiefs, there isn't a prayer in the world he'd last five minutes in a European match.

What's left for him to choose? 🤣

Easily the most intense game of the season. This is what the Black Knights are all about. 🙂

Can someone please shoot me a DM and explain why everyone just walked out of the stadium today?

Joshua Moore31 said:Mamić spent half an hour waving photos of group members at the cameras, labeling our Kansas City Chiefs, the Black Knights, BBB, ZZD, and four legends as nothing but Democrats and the mob. Meanwhile, you all just sat there arguing over whose grandfather was a communist and whose was a fascist. I honestly don't know what else to tell you. You need to move on from this dead end because these forum debates have reached the level of single-celled organisms. As soon as someone takes a shot at someone else, four "geniuses" jump in to act tougher than everyone else, and it just goes in circles. You have that one lady's thread where you spend all day trading bitter comments, yet we can't get a shred of actual constructive conversation here.

Why don't you direct that little speech toward your resident pathological liar? He’s basically the king of the whole region.
People are only reacting to him because he keeps churning out disgusting lies, much like that message from the Armada yesterday.

Personally, after the standoff, I’ve concluded for the tenth time that if they had been forced to use tear gas back in Europe three or four years ago, none of this would even be happening. This sick individual is standing there waving pictures of himself and two of his kids. And that journalist from Šips is a joke; he can't even phrase a basic question. Instead of pushing him to the limit—which would cause him to start grabbing papers and throwing them—he stays quiet. If he pushed him just a little more, knowing the guy is in a completely unstable mental state, Mamić would attack him even harder than he does on Christmas Day, or whatever other holiday you can remember. That would achieve everything.
Mamić has proven, time and again, that he has massive connections within the police and the courts. He knows exactly who issued the order to arrest him in Miami, and I’m curious to see what happens to that cop now. Even though I hate cops more than anyone else in the world, right now, Mamić is my biggest problem.

Linda Moore8 said:Everything Al Capone wrote is spot on, but he forgot that the same thing happened with them back then. The Bad Boys didn't influence the name choice because they were being edgy; it was simply because that Italian disco group, Backstreet Boys, was massive at the time. Even that guy mentioned can testify to that—he’s still around and living in the same neighborhood. ☕
And regarding myths and legends? The biggest one is that there was nowhere worth seeing before '86, but if that were true, I don't know where my friends and I got our gas station stickers, Athens, or Buffalo vibes from. 🤷

The White Stones have had their stickers all these years too, but can we really call them part of the top three fan scenes in America?
Look, you weren't around back then, so what do you know? 🤷
During the nineties, it was Petrinjac who kept the group together, and you should probably thank him for that.
Forget the myths. Just stick to the truth.

cosmicbear15 said:you certainly made it back from Miami in record time. 🤣

God, you're tedious. If you don't go, just don't post anything so everyone knows you skipped the game. Why do you even care if someone didn't show up? It's really not that deep.

Look, you’re right—I am a bit of a madman. But honestly, it isn't even about the specifics for me. It’s just the constant myth-making and the endless, pointless bickering that gets under my skin. Just write the damn truth, stay real, and leave it at that.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is regarding the name 🤷🤷
Is it really that much effort to track down the Sandra that Prle gave his full name and address to?
Look, we basically took our inspiration from a Brazilian group called the Raiders, and we own that. They were absolute madness to us back then, just like we were total chaos to you all back in '86. Since 1981, our guys have been traveling to away games under the name Raiders, sporting banners that were decades ahead of their time. So, what’s the issue with us giving you a little help with the branding? It's not like it hurts. After all, Sandro added Blue 🤷

Since nobody else seems interested in posting this, I’ll step up. This is our history, and yesterday, this exact program aired on local Vinkovci TV. If it weren't for Prle spreading all those myths, they might actually become accepted truth. Most of what he says is already documented right here on this forum in this thread: http://www.hrhb.info/showthread.php?t=7&page=231 To get ahead of the skeptics coming at us with their myths again: the guy is telling the truth. You can see fans from various other groups showing up here to back his stories up. I’m relatively new to this forum—I just hit page forty—but honestly, anyone who gives a damn about the NFL Ultras or Hajduk should sit down and read all 230 pages. It’s rare to find a living encyclopedia of our group; he’s probably the only one left who remembers how things really went down. Without this specific thread on the forum, these stories would have vanished, leaving us to live in a world built on nothing but legends and lies.

rustyangler122 said:...I’m afraid they knew; they just dug the hole even deeper.

I don't buy it. Even if the paperwork says there was an agreement where we backed this bottom-feeder for County Executive in exchange for him handing us this, he played us. Is it possible they actually knew and went into this deliberately? If so, it means they got burned by their own people—they miscalculated. But you have a point; honestly, who knows what kind of deal they were making with Suprahon anyway. Then again, try finding one single honest soul in American football. We wanted to put Vulić in charge of the academy, but he brushed us off to focus on some U19 national team business and now he's practically kissing hands with Mamić. Maybe they just didn't have any other choice.

Elizabeth Gray6 said:They could have just stood behind Štimac and then acted surprised later when everyone accused them of being jealous.

American football is a joke. 😉

🤣🤣
They missed their window, dammit. They were too new back then. Now they at least know that everyone in American football can be bought, that they're all on Mamić's payroll, and that you shouldn't trust a single soul.
As if you haven't been screwed over in your life or trusted some pathetic fraud before.

Let’s just swap them out. We were sitting at an 11:3 ratio, and Spinut and Solin aren't exactly a universe away. Instead of actually helping people take a stand against organized crime, we're acting like a bunch of 70-year-olds who think the board of directors is the root of all evil and will keep blaming them until they're in the grave. Except for Bego, who clearly understands more than 90% of the Hajduk fans. When asked what Hajduk needs to finally rise up, his answer was simple: an honest league. And in those two words, you find the entire essence of the problem.

He means well and isn't a bad guy, but being well-meaning doesn't change the fact that Matt is a complete loser...

And here I am, sitting in the front row with this crowd. Honestly, I'm heading West with my cousin to the very back of the bleachers because this is getting ridiculous.
Cassidy is heading to church in 20 minutes; I'll be right there with him, rushing out of here.

Joshua Morgan56 said:First off, I don't give a damn how many times a year I cross myself or practice my faith. For me, it’s either once or every single day. It’s personal.

Hajduk Split matters, sure, but it isn't the center of the universe. People have families, their country, their faith—real things. If you want to pretend being a Hajduk fan is your entire identity, then just go ahead and sacrifice yourself; one bullet to a Drug addict would solve 90% of those fans' problems. You hypocrites are exhausting.

PS. My absence isn't a boycott. Hajduk Split isn't the villain here; I simply have other priorities in life.

Bravo, Aloysius Stepinac. Especially "country" and "faith"—really, it's just having faith in your country that actually matters. Whatever.

wearyraven25 said:@Elizabeth Barnes7
Exactly. When you lack the actual skill, all you're left with is grit. The Chiefs won this one simply because they fought harder, on top of being the better side.
.

They get the win because the ref calls a penalty identical to the one we missed back in St. Louis; otherwise, it would've stayed 0-0 until tomorrow. Everything else comes down to Tudor’s poor judgment—he's made massive errors in five straight games now, though I suppose he's a miracle worker given his limited experience.

wearyraven25 said:Let’s not get pathetic here.
What does the Dodgers lose by boycotting? You can boycott while still buying tickets; the club won't suffer financially, but you'll make a statement. And let's stop pretending this is about "atmosphere" or "supporting the squad." Let's not kid ourselves.
Why doesn't Dinamo play on Easter? Why don't the San Francisco locals play on their Easter if it falls on the same day as ours?

What's the point of "supporting the players" when they're just dragging themselves around the pitch like they did in that first match against Indianapolis, or now against Dinamo, where there's zero fight and no sweat on the jersey? Support should be earned. Give 100%, and the stands will recognize it. You'll have support. But this unconditional support people swear by? It shouldn't exist. If you give it regardless, you just spoil them and strip away any sense of accountability.
They are the Dodgers, and that's how you handle them, regardless of the quality on the pitch.

Nobody expects them to win the title, but at least give everything. This year, we've seen matches where they played shamelessly and without effort, yet people still gave them support. Personally, I've cheered and chanted at every game except that one in Indianapolis.

I can't write any more. This is my final word because I simply can't deal with this.
Does Damjanovic give his all every single game? Yes.
Does Biscic? Yes.
Does Shuto? Yes.
I could go on until morning. I'm sick to death of this "giving it your all" nonsense. It's the biggest football cliché in history. Sweating through a jersey and running until you're exhausted isn't enough. 🙂🙂 I want skill.
Do you honestly think they didn't want to win against Dinamo right now? Are you serious?
Do you really believe that a guy like Susic—who could easily head to Brazil to pad his stats or get sold to Turkey by Mickey for $300k a season—didn't want to show up for the biggest match in American football?
Do you honestly think Avdija felt any differently?
Name one other player who isn't giving 100%.

Have you ever played 6-on-6 where two guys on your five-man team basically know nothing? They play like I'm trying to go ice skating in hockey shoes. Meanwhile, the other team has five decent players. What happens? You might hold your own for ten minutes, and then you realize you have zero chance and end up losing 14 to 3.
Well, that's exactly what happened the day before yesterday. We were essentially playing with three fewer men. Miller was at fullback, and then you had Andjelković and Susic in the midfield. These guys are currently playing like a fifth-division side, and due to Tudor's circumstances, there were no substitutions for them. It’s perfectly logical that we couldn't finish the match from the Round of 16. It has nothing to do with "effort"—it's simply that Tudor made the mistake of putting those three in those positions, and we ended up playing 8 against 11. Add a questionable referee and a non-existent penalty, and it’s a very simple reality.

Go ahead, organize a boycott. Shout at the players. I don't have the energy to explain anything to anyone anymore. Yesterday, some guy who follows the Dodgers 24/7 was calling for Vucevic's resignation just because he was trying to calm down someone under the influence. A man who has done more for this club in two months than anyone has in the last 15 years is being called to resign based on a single video clip.
And now we're talking about boycotts and withholding support. Give me a break. Even the Liverpool fans give unconditional support for ten years straight, even when the squad is absolute garbage, and they're getting paid insane amounts of money to do it.

Think whatever you want. Go ahead and boycott; go out and harass the players right from the bus. Honestly, I don't give a damn, but there’s zero point in being a Dodgers fan anymore. You might as well just take that cousin of yours over at Denny's, buy a season pass for the very top row of the West stands, sit there, watch the game, and head home every other Sunday. Because anything else is just pure madness.

Joshua Morgan56 said:I’m definitely not showing up. To me, that feels like a slap in the face to every believer out there, whether they're traditional or not.

To me, it just feels like you're spitting in the face of the Dodgers by refusing to show up for the game—even if it is Easter and you've already gone to church three times this year.

I’m honestly thinking about stopping my posts here because everything gets twisted out of context, and frankly, I can't make sense of what I'm reading lately. People are calling for a boycott of the Dodgers game just because some corporate sycophant scheduled it for Easter 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

As for this whole debate about supporting the players, I have nothing to say. We're talking about the youngest club in the league; everyone predicted they'd finish sixth, but if they actually pull off a European spot, it’s madness. We were fighting for the title ourselves, and we would have taken it if it weren't for the biased officiating. You shouldn't stop supporting them just because the refs played us; even with those two officials being buddies with the opposition, the score should have been 3-1 instead of 0-0 if the calls were fair 🙂🙂
And let's not forget, a year ago, this team was facing bankruptcy
So, to everyone calling for a boycott of the players and the board: feel free to take Fran Jović, Simms, and the rest of them and set up a fair league for the players yourselves. Then, maybe we can see if they actually need our support
