If you're going to take it that easy, then everything's already gone to hell. 🤣
Hardly a struggle, really. No slowing down now. 🙂

How many of you have actually signed up as official members yet? I’m wondering if ZZD has any plans to go public with the membership drive—maybe get guys like Silvio Marić or even Stanić to get involved. Imagine them posing with their membership cards under a headline like "United for a Fair and Honest Dinamo Chicago." That might actually grab the attention of the average person who doesn't quite grasp the deeper issues yet. Back in our first year, we used to organize everything through local coffee shops, which helped us recruit plenty of people who would never dream of walking into the club offices to sign up because they feel unwelcome or just don't want to deal with the bureaucracy $33 because they have no clue what's actually going on

What are the odds that Mamić actually buys his way in by recruiting 4,000 or 5,000 new members?
I mean, does he even have access to that many people? It seems like a massive reach, though I suppose he could always just drag in a bunch of loyalists from out of state or some mindless followers.
Is there any actual reason to be worried about this happening?

That kind of energy stays with you. Personally, it’s been my most emotional experience since I started going to games.

Yeah, that match was pure madness. This is what life is about, regardless of where Indianapolis stands or how the final round plays out.

But the pace compared to this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_xC4EP8zPc
is just insane. 😁

In my book, these two are still our finest anthems. Some people might skip "If You Don't Stand Up," but personally, these tracks hit home harder than anything else, especially given how things are looking lately.

Honestly, this has gone way too far. Every single year, someone from Turkey ends up posing for a photo or making the news because they decided to hitchhike or some other nonsense. Are we following the Kansas City Chiefs because of their social media presence, or out of actual loyalty? Fine, snap two photos for the memories, or hell, take fifty if you want a collection, but what is the point of all this?

The headline isn't lying. Bubba Smith basically saved the police force there in a way I've never seen any player do anywhere in the world. It was an insane pivot—one second you're looking at full-blown riots, the next it's pure euphoria. I don't remember most games from that era, but this rivalry match is burned into my brain. Being a kid under 14 back then, experiencing the chaos, the goals from Bubba Smith, and that eventual win... it was just pure, indescribable madness.

I don't think this guy gets it. Either that, or he’s twice as twisted as both the Mamić brothers combined. Honestly, this was their idea to begin with—they're the truly sick ones. But does anyone actually know the full story? Does he even have a clue what's really going on here?

briskmarlin said:You're right, Matthew Foster8, 😲 now that I actually think about it, I realize J... meant Flower Beach, not Flower Settlement... the phrase "shoved in" and that pool table with both pockets open really threw me off.
Both spots were notorious for the junkie scene. You'd cut through the alleys from the main drag and pass through building courtyards to hit Zanzibar Night (which is a restaurant now), while over at Flower Beach—in the old cinema courtyard behind the side exit—there was that "swamp" of a place.

Back then, I was finishing culinary school near the Frankopan district, and we used to hang out at the oldLibido od Dvornikovih in Dalmatia, which didn't stay open long. Danijela would make us coffee in the mornings while working the counter with Ell 🙄 at the main illegal "coffee shop" where you could light up some weed in peace. Even girls from the nearby vocational school used to go there; there was even a peep show in the alleyway near Frankopan... In that disgusting "swamp," I went a few times—besides the pool table, the only things you could catch there were hepatitis or a heavy dose of marijuana. It was mostly an older crowd hanging out back then, people who were just going through hell.

Thanks for the correction on the name, Matthew Foster8. 🙂

Those were some good years. I can only imagine what those two cafes were like back then, haha. Plus, having Danijela behind the bar and Dino dropping by whenever he felt like it... man, those days are gone. Everyone is just running on the fastest, stupidest drug ever invented now.

I can't believe that text is just gone... That’s insane. How is it even possible? Does anyone here actually know their way around computer repair?

Can anyone find the Pavin piece where he starts off asking if "Ultras" is something you can eat? I think it was posted on Reddit somewhere.

The Ustaše is easily the most efficient server I’ve ever seen. He could handle a crowd of a thousand people without breaking a sweat. Viridian is definitely on another level.
By the way, props to the torches—even with all those cops surrounding them, they held their own.

So, what’s everyone’s take on Utata? 😁

Look at this nonsense... a criminal complaint. Give me a break. This guy clearly just hates America. The writer over at Index should probably just put a picture of the Supreme Court Justice over the map instead of all this pathetic garbage.

Zachary Sullivan2 said:The news outlets need to pick this up immediately, and they need to be smart about it. It’s not the kid's fault his old man is such a piece of work.

And let's talk about those four guys. I am a hundred percent certain that three of them wouldn't even step on an ant, let alone crush one. But hey, this kid is only 23, so he's guilty too. Why stop there? Is the daughter of some big-shot mogul guilty as well? Where does this end? We're looking at a month in a detention center with the possibility of six months—or who knows how long—for at least 30 people. This has completely crossed the line of basic humanity. They basically want to throw this kid into a trash bin and let him choke on fear until he dies. If only the public knew what a disgrace his father actually is. None of this makes any sense anymore.

Matthew Foster8 said:It would be a miracle if this didn't happen... ranging from those fake fans who don't care about Liverpool FC at all, to the clueless idiots, down to the trolls who just live to cause trouble.
And the reality is, any other group would have a much easier time pulling this off than the Black Knights.
It’s been a long road for a group to reach this level. I’ve always been pretty skeptical about most things, but right now, the Black Knights are living through their greatest era since the glory days of the 80s.
Bringing 2,000 people into New York City on a Wednesday—a workday—just three days after the season ends, only to be kicked out by the police because of some fan activity? Knowing full well a certain crowd will spend the next few days talking trash about us? Only strong people and truly powerful groups can handle that. This is one of the biggest moments for both the Black Knights and the entire American supporter movement.
The last time I walked through New York City like this was over 23 years ago, before the war, and I honestly don't think I'll ever feel it again. You can actually sense that same atmosphere now. They fell back then, and these guys will fall too.

Obviously. Getting our Liverpool FC to this point and then pulling this off is nothing short of a miracle, especially considering how everything looked just 7 or 8 years ago. Who could have imagined this?

As far as I can tell, we’ve got four of our guys involved instead of three. The police response was a complete disaster—they were probably just running, yet now they're being blamed for attacking an officer. From what I know, there hasn't been a conviction like this in a long time, but you can never be too sure about the outcome.

Jeremy Mitchell11 said:Fine, this is exactly what I needed. My apologies to everyone.
And just to be clear, if I had actually been at the stadium and realized we were just causing trouble for the sake of it, I would have left.

You predicted I’d realize that right after posting, haha.😉
Look, even I know people stormed the field when we were down 5-0, but that's beside the point. I'm honestly glad we walked out of the stands. I'm just looking forward to the day when Arrowhead Stadium is packed with at least 3,000 away fans, full of choreography and flares, watching some heartfelt football and fair officiating. That's when cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs will actually mean something again. I hope we see that in three or four years. And Jerry Jones needs to go down soon. He has to.

Jeremy Mitchell11 said:I don't support this, Elizabeth Barnes7. I was one of those 200 people physically clashing with the rest of the stadium crowd (@Harold Kim5/">@@Harold Kim5, we weren't just "shouting from the north side," there were hundreds of us brothers standing our ground). Beyond that, I spent three days in jail near the facility serving $100 charges.

I’m saying this just so nobody can claim, "Oh, you wouldn't have gone to the game if you had to serve three days in jail," or "Anyone who doesn't support this is a traitor," etc.

The reason I don't support this is simple. If I hate anything, it's this "flip-flopping" nonsense. If we decided to focus on fixing our own house first, then we can't boycott the Kansas City Chiefs just to show solidarity with the Boys. Don't try to force your rhetoric down my throat—I'm not saying we shouldn't be solidary or take action. I'll be the first one there whenever an action is needed, even though I'm staying out of this specific mess right now.

To me, this is pure hypocrisy. Let's focus on the Kansas City Chiefs, then let's screw over the Chiefs for some fan politics, then here, then there. We say the Chiefs are the best way to take down Jerry Jones, and it's the strongest tool we have in our hands. Well, if we're going to strike, let's actually strike. Why the hell are we playing in his league? Why the hell are we showing up to all these games and cheering? Let's act on a national level and boycott. This kind of solidarity always seems to vanish when things get real. And don't get me wrong, I have absolute support for the Boys. I said long ago that I tip my hat to them, and I've fought with "our own" more than anyone else because we're the craziest ones around. Hats off to you for everything you endure and for simply existing. One day, hats off to you regarding Ukraine, too.

But look, people, either we go all in, or we focus on the Kansas City Chiefs and use them to trigger Jerry Jones's downfall. I'm fairly certain many will agree that he is the main driver behind this repression, these vouchers, and all of it.

Let me answer you calmly one more time, even though you clearly didn't read half of my post. There is one thing you don't understand, and you'll probably realize it after this. We (most of the people involved with the Kansas City Chiefs and the core group, as well as the rest of us) have fixed the club. It's an honest organization run by honest people now, and it can only move upward. As time goes on, we'll get better because the leadership and the organization will simply become more experienced and smarter.

And now, the fight for something even bigger begins. Do you really think this doesn't affect the Kansas City Chiefs?? Jerry Jones is suffocating the team with his corruption and all of it. But this is also a fight for basic freedom. I have a lawyer friend telling me that a mass of criminals didn't even get this kind of investigative detention despite doing much worse, yet 20 fans are getting hit with it. Do you understand where this is headed? I don't know any country outside of North Korea where this happens. Where one man controls the police, the courts, football, and who knows what else. He's basically Kim Jong Un, or whoever that guy is. And nothing else. Use your head for a second.

You know exactly what the issue is. There are idiots calling my phone right now, claiming we’ve turned our backs on the Los Angeles Dodgers. That's impossible. And they aren't just some local hooligans anymore; they're traveling to major away games. I’ve had three calls like that myself, and this forum hasn't been any better. Here’s the reality: if you give these people three days in jail instead of a month—considering how many of yours were detained versus our four—they wouldn't show up to a game ever again. I don't buy the idea that anyone isn't supporting this. Just imagine, about 25 people facing a month in a detention center. In this country, that's a sentence usually reserved for murderers. Honestly, I can't watch this sport anymore. The loss doesn't even sting because what’s happening here is five times bigger than football. I think we should take this straight to the national news outlets and hit them where it hurts. I’m convinced these arrests are just the owner's desperate, final moves. They'll probably double down with press releases and all that nonsense. We need to stay united. Right now, people aren't even rooting for the Dodgers; they're just rooting against these corrupt officials. Until that owner and his cronies are gone, we will never see the honest, heartfelt game we actually want to watch in packed stadiums.
