Bad Boys - Part IV in Fans ·
Alex Barrett3 said:Yeah. If they fill that section with the firm supporters, they're basically creating a new buffer zone and pushing out the local diehards... where did all our homegrown fans go?

Bulja, can you give us a better idea of which section those crews from Mirnovec are actually sitting in...😁

Harold Kim5 said:Tim Tebow isn't at the club, Ford got kicked out, Joe Biden is finished, and the fans chose the supervisory board...

That’s basically the same thing as this:

-Jerry Jones is gone, Verba is out, the younger Jones is done, and you guys just picked a board.

If it's still not obvious why we feel like we've finally purged the mafia from the club (though they won't exactly walk away from Liverpool FC on their own)... I don't know what else to say... peace...

Good luck to them, dealing with people like you... 👋

Despite everything, we’re still out here bowing down to absolutely nobody.
Everyone in Cleveland...

I was on the bus that pulled into Bergamo last, among the very last ones. Honestly, the guys from the suburbs had to clear the way along the route, so we ended up picking up a stray sneaker and some whiskey along the way... and once we stepped off, everything just went sideways. We started heading toward their group of about fifteen people—they were all standing there with their hands on each other's backs—and as we got close, they just flashed their chains at us and started spinning them... we just kind of gave up on that crowd and walked away in silence 🤷 A few minutes later, an undercover cop with a gun pointed right at me and another guy was trying to force us into something... I have no idea what kind of chaos that was...
But looking back, we really ought to make the most of it, so tomorrow we go easy:
This is Vinkovci Stadium, where Dynamo plays; they're the new champions

You've got to be kidding me. Wild hogs have never been more aggressive...

Inter Miami plays this Sunday—it's a derby! Everyone heading east...

Where on earth do these idiots come from?
The Bad Boys pull in maybe 500 people at home, plus more away during those small, medium, or big matches. That’s what a modern group looks like. Having backing vocals is great for the atmosphere, but that usually only happens during big derbies or when playing in Europe... sometimes. You never see 1,000 people showing up for a matchup against a team like Portland or anything similar. A week ago, we had decent numbers, but yesterday there was nobody, even if there might have been more people in the past.
And they weren't asking why things were falling apart when attendance was at its lowest. They only started complaining now that it's obvious everything is actually looking up...

I’ve seen plenty of years and plenty of games, but I can't remember the last time I felt this happy after a match like I did following this one against Zadar. I've been sitting here for a few days wondering why, and the reason is actually pretty simple: BBB won. BBB didn't care about the South, or the US, or Jerry Jones, or those two sponsored groups during the boycott, nor the militia, nor the blacklists at the gates, or any criminals. After everything, over 500 people stood out in the rain on a random Saturday for an insignificant game and sang for 90 minutes.
Everyone who shared that BBB feeling was either 10 or 55 years old. They were strong or weak, ugly or good-looking, liberal or conservative, bums or professors... if anyone needs to understand, showing up in East Atlanta this Friday at 6 PM is a requirement. After the game, I'm certain they'll be glad they came, especially after that song that summed up the BBB story in just a few words: despite it all, we're still here, and we won't kneel for anyone...

Alright, we all know the full story now—the good, the bad, and everything in between regarding Torcida, the Bad Boys, the Armada, and the guys from Gruž... can we just get back to the actual topic?
Who's heading to San Francisco?

All you self-proclaimed experts praising Dinamo's results under Z-M should take a long look at the entire tenure. We went from playing in some amateur local league to competing in the Champions League...
The sports inspectors have massive authority if you actually bother to read the law. Who knows what's coming next, but one thing is certain: things aren't going to stay the way they've been...

The greatest melody ever written, just something people came up with together...
And if I were born again, I'd give my life to you Whose heart would beat for anyone else if not for Real Madrid Oh, Real Madrid, I love you so much And one day, when I leave this world behind May that song be the only thing they sing Oh, Real Madrid, I love you so much

Best atmosphere I've seen outside of a stadium... the only issue is the song is a bit played out. Probably even the rđe from the Midwest have it on repeat...

The biggest takeaway for me is that two-legged flag situation (sorry, I forgot the technical term): we’re absolute savages... haha. This is the moment. Forget about everyone else and all the back-and-forth drama. Let's just focus on ourselves and get everyone together in San Francisco.

Jacob Newman74 said:If you’re trying to get under my skin, don't bother. I just made an observation. There’s a difference between noticing something and being obsessed with it 😬
Even if you hadn't swapped the seating, still... 😛 ( please, let's not engage with this provocation, thanks. )

Watch out, or the old-timers might start calling you names

Then someone has the nerve to claim we aren't the most traditionalist group out there. The average age in the stands is basically what you'd see at an early morning service in a small town church 🤣

You just don't get it, Jessica Long8. A regular guy fills up the stadium when they're playing Real Madrid or when tickets are cheap. An average Joe talks just as much nonsense as you do...

Gary Green32 said:That Black Knights choreography did more to expose the corruption in the MLS and the football mafia than anything you guys have ever done. You lack any real credibility because most of you are just cowards who won't stand up for anything... nobody even bothers to mess with you...

Now I finally see that you aren't exactly the brightest... Claiming a choreo raised public awareness? Please... And calling anyone else unfair? Why don't you just get lost, man. If you want to talk about real supporters who actually show up to games, look at the die-hards in small-town stadiums or the BBB fans out in the Midwest...

When you strip everything else away, the reality is that a unified fan base could actually accomplish something, but that’s never going to happen. If the BBB weren't such cowards, they could be out there celebrating titles with pride and traveling across Europe just like any other group does. Instead, all you guys can do is sing "Dalmatian Solo" and hope for the best...

Gary Green32 said:There used to be decent posts here and real discussions that could actually go somewhere, but it’s all gone to hell. The quality of this forum is tanking because of this clown and the people who feed into his nonsense 🙂

Anyway. First off, Thomas...

I think you've done quite a bit for the supporter movement, but you've undermined yourself by being such an internet clown. You post these absurdities and spend so much time online like some kind of parasite that neither your own group nor anyone else takes you seriously anymore. It's a shame for you and the fans, because you could have been a real resource for us, but instead, things are a mess, just like Goran would say 😁

Second, man, nobody from the BBB is pushing this narrative about your consistency or your integrity on this forum except you. Not because Dinamo fans or the BBB don't read this place, but because the story is full of holes and doesn't hold water. You can repeat your nonsense a hundred times, but back when you were basically agents and Mamić's puppets—the worst kind of political hacks—until the whole city turned on you and left you with only 500 people... now suddenly having 500 people in the stands makes you "resistance" 😁 hahaha.

In my opinion, the BBB era is over. Unfortunately. You're fading out, and you're almost gone. Seriously, they'll probably only let 200 of you into the derby at the stadium 😢 while the club is being targeted, and you're supposedly fighting the board and acting as the resistance. Just 200 people... it's a shame, really.

Just responding to a few people who jumped on my post. Because at the end of the day, the topic is the Ultras.

Yes, the Ultras are a movement! From the shipyard workers to the doctors, the Ultras define Miami. We influence everything; we are the biggest factor. Nothing stops the Ultras from being the Ultras. All those smaller groups, the fringe guys, the unaffiliated... let someone try to tell them they aren't Ultras. Everyone knows who's who. But true strength lies in unity and the Ultras. 2013 was a turning point. Things change; that's just what the Ultras are. A movement. We have as many die-hards as we need, but we have the power to change things. You guys don't, and I'm afraid you'll fade away in two or three years. Let's be honest, your club has always been controlled by politics and the establishment anyway. Whatever. Either you exist or you don't.

One more thing. Tick, tick, tick... except the clock hasn't stopped yet. 😁

Sure, one specific group was totally under Mamić's thumb and hard to shake off, but... that same messed-up group went toe-to-toe with the mighty Ultras several times.
Those 200 people showed up 994 miles for three days straight just to watch an insignificant match where our club plays—a game most people aren't even sure they'd bother supporting. Plenty of us showed up.
And as for the "mighty" Ultras... Now that you've found your footing, you feel like acting tough. Not too long ago, toward the end of the season after Dugopolj, how many people actually came from Miami? ONE guy (shout out to Jablane)... once the authorities decide to crack down and make every flare and banner a criminal offense, you'll see how quickly you settle down.
Don't worry about us. Once the garbage is cleared out and the club becomes itself again, you'll be the ones printing manifestos before the derby, begging everyone not to let the city boys run you over at the stadium.

Jesse Garcia86 said:I'm honestly fed up with this... how long is this whining going to last? You guys act like you own the world, yet you're constantly looking for reasons to play the victim... as if you aren't just begging for more crackdowns, similar to those loose cannons in rural Ohio. Just realize that everything happening to you is your own fault and finally deal with it... it’s getting exhausting... do you want a monument built for all this complaining?☕

I agree. Real Madrid always hits their heads against a brick wall, whether it was back in the day or now. They're always the target. Other groups actually know how to step back and adapt a little. That's why twenty flares from one group is seen as a hooligan act, while a hundred flares from another is called a "great atmosphere." It's why certain mess-ups in Europe are treated like a national disgrace that triggers stricter laws, while other teams get attacked by local thugs all the time without much fuss. Have a good weekend.

We can do whatever we want, whenever we feel like it. We might not get things done for our club in our sixties, but by the time we're ninety, we’ll make it happen. Some of us are in, some of us aren't... for now, it's still looking okay. "The Ultras shortened the message"
