On a more serious note,
what happened with the Spaniards? Weren't they supposed to have that blue away kit with the red, yellow, and red Adidas stripes on the sleeves? 🤷
I always thought that one looked great. 😢

Exactly. Take a closer look. This photo just looks a bit "perfected," but you can see it's got the same collar, the same stripes—everything's identical.

these pics look like you're hacking the site🤣

If the white is too much, just dial back the brightness on your monitor. Problem solved ☕

Roza’ll probably take third. Doesn't really fit with the first or second.

total joke ☕

So, these are the jerseys http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/web/engli...a/galeria.html

The home kit actually looks decent, the away one? Not so much. 🙂

PS. Feeling a little bad for Valdez 🤣

this Nike guy is out of control. he’s already wrecked Inter, Manchester United, Juventus, and now he's coming for Barca next.

😕
They promised the home kit would have a collar, but nope. And they said the away kit was supposed to be solid light blue.
Hard to believe this is actually what we're getting 😁🤣

Still holding out hope for something more like http://www.pes-patch.com/2010/05/bar...y-agonnks.html (some guy made this based on what they originally described)

Barca is dropping the new kit on June 5th. Hopefully it doesn't suck. 😁

Nah, Barcin will probably end up looking more like Athletic

steeleagle70 said:You've got two whole pages of "Clinton's" stuff on Offside. Seems like plenty to me, even though I mentioned earlier that like 90% of the action was happening over at the tavern.

And come on, you know as well as I do that you don't protest red cards or bans inside the specific thread—you take it to the main board. And let's be real, don't go expecting any "legal defense" to work here.

But hey, when it's time to pull out the receipts

We gotta stick together on this one. All of us.

I mean, they basically nuked half the PDF. Plus, there were at least that many fans involved.

Why didn't you quote the emojis too? Is that because it would ruin your little fantasy that this post is actually serious?

steeleagle70 said:Look, I’m not talking about the Clintons. I even gave you an example where they aren't involved in the game. The Clinton crowd swarmed in last night. Also, I wasn't really bringing up a specific timeline for when things were planned—that's not my business—but I am providing proof that most of these people didn't just wander into this thread by accident and get banned out of ignorance... most knew exactly where they were going and why. They knew the politics mods wouldn't let the topic head in that direction.

And obviously, it’s not like everyone from the soccer community came here to be troublemakers. It’s the ones being banned who are causing the mess, plus there are plenty of unbanned fans still posting in that thread today.

The saddest part is that you guys completely lost all credibility with this move. Up until now, some people actually believed that there was a widespread crackdown against the fans happening everywhere. But now? You're just telling the same old story. We don't even need to read the news to see it; we saw the pattern ourselves during the "protest" and how the moderators handled the discipline.

Nobody wandered in. But nobody showed up intending to cause chaos like you're making it out to be (except for those Clinton types already mentioned). The people who showed up were there to discuss the actual subject laid out in the OPENING POST. They stayed on topic.

The thread opened at 1:54 PM. Ryan Vaughn7’s warning (which was also his first) telling everyone not to draw parallels to fans—even though the whole reason the thread exists is because you guys keep ignoring that—didn't come until 5:21 PM. Nothing happened before then; the conversation had already moved in its direction. For three hours, people were posting stuff that was perfectly on topic, and then they got banned. Brilliant work by the mods.

Credibility? We never had any credibility with people like you to begin with. And it wasn't our fault.

steeleagle70 said:You don't need to explain anything to me, man. I was online the whole time watching you guys coordinate and clone accounts, so don't even try to lie. We can start naming names if we want—people who are banned now after shouting stuff like "I've got 80 points, time to earn a ban!" or "Hey gang, let's raid there!" or "I'm jumping into 22"... and wouldn't you know it, everyone got banned right after their "visit."

Do you realize those Clinton types were just trolling, opened up by guys who had already been banned? Basically, that "agreement" happened after a bunch of undeserved bans were already handed out.

But this generalization is what kills me. Like, everyone moving from the soccer forum over to politics is just here to cause trouble? 🤣 Get real. The only ones actually trying to stir the pot (🤣) and doing it just to mess around are the ones who were already unfairly banned. And you're sitting here telling me we've been plotting some conspiracy for two weeks and prepping for a showdown 🙄

steeleagle70 said:It would all be fine if two different chats on the soccer forum hadn't been spamming everyone since noon to jump over to a specific thread, causing total chaos. Then, it basically turned into a coordinated raid by clones.

I mean, it’s honestly hilarious that you’re even talking, especially when all those posts from banned users—the ones literally announcing they were coming over to mess with the thread—are still sitting right there.

Look, I can pull up about twenty of those posts from banned accounts right now if you want.

There's no way most of them didn't know what was happening or which thread to hit. They weren't "innocent" bystanders getting banned because they were confused.

They knew exactly what they were doing. If you don't believe me, just go scroll through the fans' chats and the soccer forum.

Just check the chats. You really think I'm coming at this from Dik's side? Everything's laid out clearly just two posts below yours:

'Get real and compare the timing of that "agreement" in the tavern to those pointless bans....
The "agreement," as you call it, happened in a public thread—anyone could've seen it. So what's the big deal? A couple of guys grabbed a bunch of Clinton clones and had some fun?..A conspiracy?..Where?
How many of us actually showed up using our own handles? Maybe a few more than just those two or three....'

Robert Torres said:This is just straight-up garbage. A total disaster. When I first saw it, I actually thought it was some kind of joke 🤷

🤣🤦

man 🤣

Nice way to ask people not to draw parallels on a thread that was literally created for that exact purpose. What, you want a trophy and a certificate now?

yeah, a heads-up about staying on topic

Picture this: someone rolls in, totally clueless about how things work here, reads the opening post, replies to it, and immediately gets banned. Just because they responded to the intro. Kind of a weird paradox, honestly.

shadowpilot8 said:Wait, why can't you fans just accept that neither the politics moderators nor the admins wanted or allowed the thread to go where the author intended? It is their prerogative, and you should have accepted it.

If that were true, they should've just locked the thread or edited the OP, right? Instead, they just banned people for staying on topic when the mods clearly didn't like the direction.

Adam Collins4 said:Look, if you want to excuse it, maybe, but two or three people kept aggressively trying to pivot everything toward fan behavior and those events from May 1st, 2010—doing it so effectively that most of the regulars on the politics board just started dodging the thread altogether...

And the best part? Over on the soccer forum, in the thread about fans, there’s clearly a little group of users coordinating to derail the whole discussion about Warsaw...

One guy even actually said—and I quote—“Whatever, the thread's ruined, I'm going to bed"...

So much for wanting an actual debate or contributing something meaningful... you guys went out of your way to plant landmines, and then you're surprised when they go off...

Now you're all crying about it...

It wasn't about debating the fans; it was about drawing a line between two different events. Some of you aren't getting it, but the whole point of this thread was to compare them. Instead, certain people twisted it into some nonsense about urban planning or whatever...

PS. That Clinton stuff was just a joke; no need to repeat it sixteen times. There are a few people—actually, most of them—who got banned even though they had nothing to do with it.

hollowtrucker77 said:Keeping the conversation on track is what moderators are actually paid for, I guess.

Sure, that's fine. But you can't tell me a mod has the right to pull a total 180 on a thread, making the original post completely irrelevant to the actual discussion (which is exactly what happened here)

Manchester-related desperation, just like this retro kit or whatever that Inter Milan-related home kit is.
