All the food supplies from the Red Cross have been wiped out, and a huge chunk of the community is struggling just to put bread on the table. In a few days, the BBB fan club is heading out there to deliver humanitarian aid directly to the site. We’re calling on anyone who can afford to help to drop off some supplies at Zvonimir. We need flour, oil, pasta, rice, canned goods... basically anything you can spare. The club will be working tonight starting at 8:00 PM, and tomorrow we'll be there from 3:00 PM through the rest of the afternoon. Get in touch with the crew, spread the word to your friends—doesn't matter if they're fans or not—and post this on Facebook. Let's try to make these tough times a little easier for them.
Starting today through Friday, we’re continuing to collect donations at Zvonimir every single day from 2:00 PM onwards.
Hey everyone, I’m sure you all caught the news last night. Things in Gunner are looking pretty grim right now. All the food supplies from the Red Cross have been completely wiped out, and a huge chunk of the community doesn't even have enough to grab a slice of bread. In a few days, the BBB fan club is heading straight into the heart of it to deliver humanitarian aid, and we’re calling on anyone who can afford to help out. If you can spare anything, please drop off some food—flour, oil, pasta, rice, canned goods... whatever you can manage. The club will be working tonight starting at 8:00 PM, and then again tomorrow from 3:00 PM through the rest of the afternoon. Get in touch with the crew, spread the word to your friends whether they're fans or not, and get this on Facebook. Let's try to make things a little easier for people during these rough times.
Hell of a debate, hats off to everyone. Look, folks, seriously—stop obsessing over what everyone else is doing and acting like you know what's best for them. Live your life as a fan however you want, and let other people do the exact same thing. This group isn't going to fall apart just because we hit a rough patch with the Dynamo game, and it sure as hell isn't going to die out after the last heated match. If someone wants to go support Dynamo, they should go. If they want to catch a futsal game, fine by me. No one has the right to lecture anyone else about where they choose to spend their time or who they cheer for.
casualwolf48 said:I haven't posted here in a while, though I read everything regularly. But now I’ve decided to write something, less because of the text quoted above and more because of how people are reacting to it. Look, this guy is seriously overstating things. He acts like he won't let his kids hang out in the hardcore supporter section because he and his crew think it's somehow "better" for them. It’s like he thinks he’s dealing with some street gang, like the Mara Salvatrucha or something. As if those kids spending a little time with the group is going to cause permanent damage to their mental development and inevitably lead them straight into a life of crime. And all because someone didn't say "good morning" at the team store. Like he and the kids were being offered a VIP welcome in yellow and white colors or something. If that even happened, it’s a one-time thing. I don't know when—maybe the guys at the top of the group or the staff in the shop were rude to someone who was just asking a simple question. This guy is writing from the perspective of a 40-year-old, so he probably remembers how things were back in the 80s. Back then, whether you were in the stands or outside the stadium, there was slapping, scarf stealing, mugging, and all sorts of stuff. Despite the myth about having "tough stares," this crew doesn't actually do any of that. But hey, despite all that, the guy who wrote this is entitled to his opinion. He goes to the futsal games and pays his way like everyone else, helping fill the arena and create a better atmosphere. So, it’s stupid to call him names or anything like that. You need to give him an actual, reasoned response to prove him wrong. It’s dumb to get worked up immediately and start throwing insults. Futsal is a project that has grown beyond its own expectations, which has even surprised the original organizers. Hats off to everyone involved in making it happen, but you can't expect everyone who shows up to be part of the inner circle. It’s no surprise that it's almost %people who aren't even remotely involved. But it's still stupid to lecture them or try to explain priorities by constantly preaching about the greatness of the Dodgers' futsal team. It is what it is. Personally, I love going to the futsal matches, but nothing can ever replace the roar of the crowd in the main stands. Even though I'm well into my middle years now.
Everyone has the right to share their view, and besides, the post wasn't deleted. But experience, backed up by plenty of similar cases, tells me that after a few more posts, his "opinion" will turn into him acting like a know-it-all. I hope I'm wrong, but time will tell. We'll see.
Jonathan Bishop37 said:Look, sorry, I was working until 8 PM yesterday. I live out in Queens, and the arena is just too far for me, so I didn't make it to the game. Honestly, I hate it when people start labeling everyone. I’ve been at almost every single futsal match. Usually, I head to the games with my crew and my two boys—one's 14, the other's 16. For us, futsal is just a social thing where we grab a beer, watch some soccer, and hang out. We always sit in the stands opposite the Bad Boys. My sons have mentioned wanting to join the supporter section, but my friends and I aren't having it. It’s not because we think your group is bad; it’s because my boys and I actually walked into your fan shop once. Don't take this personally, but the vibe in there was about as welcoming as Arlington National Cemetery. Not a "good morning," nothing. Just two kids in there—kids who could easily be my own sons—so how am I supposed to get any real info from them? Before you start lecturing regular people who spend their hard-earned money and time supporting this project, maybe clean up your own backyard first before handing out lessons to everyone else.
🙏 Respect, man. Nothing is more annoying than people signing up just to act like they know everything. I predict you'll be hanging around here for a while, probably hitting a total of 3 or 4 posts depending on how often I can actually get on this site.🙂
Gary Evans90 said:When you run out of actual points to make, you just start deleting posts. Real classy move! 🙏
Looking back at some of your old posts, I honestly regret not hitting the delete button on most of them myself. Introduce yourself properly—you can even do it via DM—and if I decide you actually have something worthwhile to contribute, then maybe you'll get more leeway. But right now? You're just another anonymous user with 25 posts, acting exactly like the rest of them, so expect to be watched closely.☕
Listen up, people. It’s time to actually do something. If you’re tired of sitting around and want to help push for changes to the sports fan law, hit me up in my DMs. Let's get moving. To kick things off, I need anyone who isn't totally checked out and actually has some free time to start digging into how they handle this stuff in places like Germany, England, or Scandinavia. Enough with the lethargy and the laziness. We need to stop talking and start building a case.
David Perez8 said:The barricades, the riot squads, the harassment—it’s all on the leadership. It’s purely about their approach. Look, if you aren't actually capable of running the show, then at least have the decency to use your brain and tactically manage the situation. You need to plan things out so people aren't getting caught up in nonsense and losing ground over nothing. If you can't ensure that what’s planned actually gets executed, you shouldn't be in charge.
I’m going to say this again because someone clearly needs to hear it: you have to use your head instead of just reacting blindly. I get it, in the heat of the moment, playing defense might feel like the right call, but it's shortsighted. If you actually stop to think for two seconds, you'll realize that playing the long game yields much more concrete, predictable results. Stop acting on pure impulse.
Look, man, with a post count like yours, you really ought to start watching your mouth and picking your words a little more carefully.
Futsal is a damn powerhouse. It’s exactly what we need, and honestly, we needed even more of it back when everyone was boycotting. Futsal is basically the inverse of how much people screw things up at the camp; it’s our secret weapon when we're going toe-to-toe with those bastards over at Yankee Stadium. I'm convinced Futsal will help us take down the big boss, too. But... look, as much as they don't want to admit it—and as much as I spent the last few weeks arguing against the very idea—it has definitely eaten into the numbers for the Los Angeles Dodgers. All this hype and constant action that should be focused squarely on the club is being diverted toward Futsal instead. We just have to find a better balance. Futsal needs to be the wind in our sails, not a stumbling block. As one of the brightest chapters in our group's history, it deserves way better than this.
Zachary Sullivan2 said:I’m just here to watch. I only care about debating things happening over in Eastern Europe.😁
Are you seriously trying to tell me that? I don't even know where to start with this one. It’s just one thing after another lately. You look at how things are running, how decisions are being made, and it’s like nobody is actually paying attention to the big picture. It’s all smoke and mirrors. It reminds me of that time I was stuck in traffic on the I-95 during rush hour—just total chaos, everyone moving in different directions, zero coordination, and absolutely no sense of purpose. That’s exactly what we’re seeing here. We’re spinning our wheels while the people in charge act like everything is perfectly fine. It’s frustrating, honestly. You expect a certain level of competence, a baseline of logic, but instead, you get this constant stream of nonsense. It’s not even about one specific mistake anymore; it’s the pattern. It’s the way the whole system seems designed to fail or, at the very least, to make sure the average person stays confused. If you aren't careful, you'll wake up one day and realize the entire foundation is built on sand. We need more than just empty promises or quick fixes. We need actual substance. But I guess that’s asking too much these days, isn't it? What about the US?🤔
You’re talking nonsense about "cards." I tried it three different times and failed every single time. That’s exactly why I’m deleting this and moving on, so just give it a rest.
Listen up, I’m not letting anyone talk trash about anyone else in their very first post. Not about any individual, not about this club, not about the local high school, or even the university. Everyone is allowed to have a different opinion—even the harsh ones—provided I actually know who we're talking about and they've actually earned some respect through their work in the stands. Even the professor gets more leeway than your average guy hanging out on this forum
Edward Mendoza70 said:Look, honestly, who cares? The bottom line is simple: the North should have been fully charged yesterday, and everyone should be making noise against that Clown. But no, people will always find a hundred excuses for everything, just like they do in real life.
I guess Daniel Carter9 and I are both just going through a midlife crisis. Nothing to worry about, really.☕
Daniel Carter9 said:Sure thing. I got the message too. As far as being bitter goes, I’m just asking about what’s written right here on the forum. Everyone’s allowed to have an opinion here, right?
Of course. Even me. As long as you aren't straight-up insulting someone, you're fine. And yeah, let's be real—some people, especially when you know who's actually behind the screen, get way more leeway than the newbies who just show up to talk trash. You get more breathing room than most, too.
Daniel Carter9 said:Look, those are things you handle with the group leaders. I have no idea why your idea didn't catch on, and frankly, I don't care. Regardless, the group has its leadership, and there was zero official word about heading to the game—at least, I didn't get any. You didn't tell me either. Since we found out the roster was non-existent just, say, four hours before kickoff, what exactly were we supposed to do? How many people could you realistically round up on such short notice?
Your whole pitch was basically "hey, everyone should try buying tickets and film it," which is exactly what happened. If someone decided to use that info to actually show up at the stadium, that's on them. There wasn't an official call to action. Not from the group, and certainly not from you.
So, I'm still struggling to figure out who exactly you think you're mad at here.?
Like I already told you, everyone I'm actually pissed at got my messages last night. As for anyone else, they can take my bitterness and shove it; I’ll vent my frustrations however I damn well please. Besides, isn't it funny how you love to lecture people on these same forums all the time too?
Daniel Carter9 said:Back in '05, you had a vision, you pushed it through, people walked away, and there’s video proof. Even the blacklists were scrapped for anyone without a ZON violation, whether that was the reason or not.
So why all this bitterness now?
You really should have seen those kids. They did everything in their power just to claim their spot in the stands, to prove this section belongs to them and they aren't ever handing it over to anyone else. They’ve been watched, they’ve been threatened, they’ve been in actual danger... and then they look up and ask, "Wait, wasn't the holy mission just announced? Reclaiming the stands, getting inside at any cost, fighting until the last man standing?"... And as for the bitterness? It isn't aimed at the people who think I'm calling them out or who feel insulted by how I reacted. The specific people I was talking about received my message last night, and they know damn well why they got it.
Regarding heading out to the game, nobody actually planned this, but thank God an opportunity popped up, and I honestly think we should’ve taken it. It’s not like I’m some massive egoist who just dreamt this up for myself; it’s because just a few weeks ago, there was a manifesto released calling for all the Chelsea Blue Boys to return to the North—our home turf—and to never let it be occupied again. To quote:Tomorrow, the Chelsea Blue Boys fan group returns to the North, our true home, and to the stands where we will never again allow cowards who have our brothers' blood on their hands to occupy our space...
Is everyone's memory really that short? Or is it just that anyone can do anything, anyone can contribute in any way, and everyone is suddenly "right" when they start or suggest something good... EXCEPT if Tom has been the one behind it. Then, suddenly, it’s sectarianism. Then, it’s egoism. Then, it’s "outdated romanticism." Then, apparently, it’s NOT allowed to be supported.
