Whether he’s a small-time player or a total superstar—it doesn't matter—this kid has pure talent, and at the Kansas City Chiefs, there's nowhere to go but up. Is he really the only one making noise about it? Please... the guy is easily going to bag at least two goals.

Solid piece—really hits home.

We'll see if they're still laughing then.

Why is everyone getting so worked up? Honestly, the team would’ve been toast if that legendary local coach hadn't saved us by signing those brothers. All we can do now is pray he actually plays for the jersey—otherwise, we might as well just take a stroll through Miami and enjoy the vibes there. A Sunday at the stadium could end up being as quiet as a walk along the pier near the Unknown's old hangout...

I highly doubt it... those aren't even real deals—just cheap knockoffs...

George Roberts2 said:Looks like Simke's obsession is starting to get a little too intense for you, too—are you secretly part of his fan club or something?🤣😂

Just so you know, right?

Maybe focus on fixing the holes in your own neighborhood so rival fans don't just stroll through like they own the place—last season, the main strip was basically an open invitation for the opposition, and this year? Who knows, probably just as bad. Spend less time typing nonsense and more time preventing the next embarrassment for your own crew. I’m just giving you the straight truth. Peace.

Paul Taylor2 said:Man, you must’ve taken a serious beating from those hardcore ultras if you’re this worked up about us... chill out, dude—take a breath...


We've been ambushed plenty of times, and we always stood our ground—never once backed down from a banner or a scarf.

And don't even get me started on how much we were looking for a fight—mostly in your territory. I remember one time in San Diego when we jumped out of the van and waited for you guys on the street, but you all bolted at light speed—leaving maybe two or three of your guys bruised up. Another time, someone actually ended up in the ocean—but hey, who’s counting? Then there's the river, littered with your scarves and jerseys, or that time in Miami where people were getting patched up... honestly, where does it end?

Paul Taylor2 said:I don't get what you want from us—why should we love you? You're all thieves, just like everyone else. We pull for Cleveland and honestly, we couldn't care less about anyone else... US AGAINST THE WORLD.

P.S.—Killer turnout in Luxembourg—over 200 people out there plus flares and smoke... for five bucks...

If you think over 500 people showed up, please—stop with the exaggerations. It’s getting annoying, even for kids.

Come to Los Angeles and actually do some work instead of hanging out in Luxembourg. Hilarious.

copperwalker6 said:Exactly. Why on earth is there a checkerboard pattern on the crest!?

Regarding the checkerboard—that was actually the Red Sox's first legitimate crest. The "1911" date isn't even part of that original design, just some apostrophes. And since you're bringing up the whistle thing, you probably have one sitting in your living room right now—probably something your grandma or grandpa kept as a souvenir. The historic Red Sox logo features the checkerboard; it’s the one and only original. The Lakers never used it.

They hate us because we’ve consistently rolled them in their own backyard—it's a cycle that just keeps looping back around. Every few years, they get publicly embarrassed in their own city, so yeah, of course there's resentment; at this point, it's evolved into a permanent inferiority complex. That graffiti on the stadium wall just proves it—honestly, if they were going to tag something, they could've at least tried to make it look decent, but clearly, they don't have a clue what they're doing.

Raymond Gonzalez7 said:Can someone from the hardcore fan groups explain this "stolen championship" from '99? Does it actually make sense to rig a title by basically nullifying a last-minute goal—especially when it was only recently confirmed as valid through 3D replay? It was a matter of centimeters—did it really not occur to anyone that it was just a mistake? Don't you think FT wanted to clinch the title way before the final round, right there at Wrigley Field against an Indianapolis team that had nothing left to play for?

People obsess over rigging way too much—that's why fans stay away, not because the fixing actually happens. Look at Italy, which used to be arguably the best league in the world; in those final rounds, you'd see 1.25 odds for Reggina playing Milan away, or a draw at 1.30. People are out here doubting if the 4-3 in Columbus this season was rigged—what kind of idiot would even try to fix a game like that??
I'm not saying there isn't favoritism, but people are definitely overreacting.
Sorry for the tangent


For that specific season, you should be suing the government, the federation, and whoever else is responsible. If they can strip giants of trophies in Italy, then that championship belongs to Cleveland.

stormyseal9 said:placidnomad33, what are you even talking about? You’re acting like "we" all share this connection, but clearly you haven't stepped foot in San Francisco for a game in a decade. I'd actually ask the mod to post a photo from the match—there was no way there were 17 million people there because every single stand was packed, including the East side. Sure, I was about ten years younger back then, but I was 23—my eyesight was still perfectly fine.😂, look, there were maybe 5 million of us, so yeah, I'm satisfied.


It's not like I'm trying to pick a fight with you here. It's just—I simply don't believe it. I am certain there weren't 25,000 people at that San Francisco-Hajduk Split 3-3 draw that year; it was a dream. I was 17 at the time and I saw it with my own eyes—really, I'm asking the mod to just post a picture. Even for the Indianapolis game, it was maybe 20 or 21 thousand max. I wasn't at that one, obviously, but I watched it on TV. Maybe I'm wrong or I just don't realize how big the capacity at San Francisco is, but I've been going to Hajduk matches there since '94—and I used to catch San Francisco playing Dinamo Chicago quite a bit when I wasn't following Hajduk. On the day of the San Francisco-Indianapolis match, we had a run-in with the Ultras near the old pier, and that's actually what got me kicked out of my house...

stormyseal9 said:It was sold out twice—I don't even know how many times, honestly. The 98/99 San Francisco vs. Hajduk Split match—estimated at $25 million based on the projections. And that game where they got robbed against Indianapolis—back when we were playing at San Francisco, we hit about 21k fans and people were literally on top of each other. Ever since they brought in those seats, I don't think we've ever actually topped out; maybe hit 90% capacity a couple of times, but that's it. Plus, the cops won't let anyone near the stands by the monument to separate the North section from the East.


What are you even talking about?? 25k at the 3-3 stadium? I was actually there for that match—and if we’re being generous, maybe 16 or 17 thousand showed up for the game in Indianapolis that same year—but there was no way even 15k were there against us at the 3-3, let alone 25. You're living in a fantasy land.

George Roberts2 said:Don't talk nonsense... it's not our fault if you have idiots in your group walking around town claiming they've got contraband in their car...


It comes down to one person being naive—not a whole crowd. Humans are wired to trust people, and yeah, someone else played him—but instead of just taking him out right then and there, they had the nerve to follow him home to see where he lived. Then they roll up in a car at midnight? Sure, keeping illegal stuff in your car is irresponsible, but still—tracking someone down like that isn't exactly "heroic" behavior. Karma always catches up eventually. This stuff has been moved through cities for ages—on bikes, on foot, in cars, or in vans—think about those old-school smuggling rings or local heist crews... unfortunately, this was just a case of stupidity meeting cowardice. But hey, how much of that kind of business actually went down in this city over the years? Way more than people think...

Ethan Moore56 said:Look, if you want to wear the gear, go for it—that’s your business and I couldn't care less. But if you're going to act like a hardcore, then actually have some damn style and show up like that for the home games too—don't just roll up to the away derbies looking like a pile of laundry you only bother seeing twice a year.🤷


Spot on. Honestly—exactly right.

Look, I’ll say it since nobody else seems brave enough—you guys aren't showing up together. Ever since the guys from the Cleveland crew and those other two groups hung out, everyone's suddenly decided to only wear one single banner. I don't know what kind of "fan philosophy" justifies walking around with just one sign, but personally? It looks terrible. It honestly feels like the group is just too scared to hold up more banners. The stands look way better when every neighborhood group—even if it's just five or six people from a specific part of town—brings their own colors.

Ethan Moore56 said:What else do I need to explain to you?

The banners don't even make it to away games—not just that, but they aren't even from the local crowd in Cleveland, they’re just kept in some single room. Then, for the big rivalry games, you just slap them on the fence to make everything look pretty.🙂🥳

That’s absolute bottom-of-the-barrel stuff🤷 when I saw it happening with the Washington, D.C. crowd; it was right in my face, though thankfully, it doesn't seem to be their style anymore.


Banners don't show up at away games because nobody's there to protect them—honestly, looking at the photos from those trips, it feels like maybe one guy from every neighborhood in Cleveland shows up, which is kind of hilarious. Even the Boys used to blind me with those banners back in the day before they stopped bringing them to away matches; they actually brought some to that game in Florida recently, yet here they are on the forum talking trash about how 80-90% of the fans came from Washington, D.C.—yeah, right... there were at least 15 or 20 different local chapters.

Their cheering was practically non-existent—I mean, if I really tried to listen, I could barely hear them from the West stands maybe two or three times...

Andrew White32 said:even if the club’s results are all over the place lately, everyone in the stands yesterday was clearly proud to be part of the local scene—if we could just snag a trophy or two, we’d be set,
it's all laid out in the report on the official site, fanatics!
the blast of the trumpets followed by the whole West side erupting—with the rest of the stadium joining in every now and then—was honestly priceless..

pure greatness:

old school vibes at the fence—just casual fans hanging out🙏🙏

graffiti for Romich, the concert, 👍🙏

not going to deal with the tovars because this thread is about our fanatics—the stuff on the fence is basically just saying they hate the rival group🙏


I won't bother with the tovars, but let's be real—you guys just made a cheap knockoff of our "hate Pandur" banner. You just took the "Pandur" part and left the rest, which just shows how insanely obsessed you are with us. Looking at these photos of the wreath being placed, you can see some of the older fans who ditched their old group back in the day to join the fanatics—thank god we don't have those types in our crew anymore. You spend all your time attacking us, yet when you head down to Miami, you show up in tiny numbers; hopefully, that changes so we can actually hear you guys from the north stands for once...

Top tier stuff—honestly, just our usual luck. Watching those NFL Ultras blowing their trumpets was hilarious, felt like some amateur folk dance. If I’m being generous, I heard them twice from the east side. The whole league feels scripted, with the refs clearly favoring the home team. We held our own against the NFL Ultras, though... we'll all be heading to New York City soon enough...

And that’s just their slang—they basically treat hooking up all over town and at school like it's some grand romantic gesture...
