Rest in peace, blue brother...

My heart goes out to his family and loved ones...

Robert Adams6 said:you hit the nail on the head with that one sentence—though everything else is definitely up for debate.

If you really want to compare groups like the Bad Boys and the Delije, we should probably look at a few realities first.
The Dallas Cowboys have a massive following here in the States, while Red Star might have a huge base in their region too. It's a pretty slim gap if you look at it that way.🙂

.

The "slim gap" part is where you're tripping up a bit—it feels like you're just playing with numbers...
Red Star doesn't have 5 million fans, and I doubt the local powerhouse has only a million here in the US—at least not by my count!

And even if those numbers were right, what does it actually change?

Take Juventus, for example—they’re easily the most popular club in Italy. Did they have to shrink their damn stadium just to fit everyone in!? Not to mention that Juve is way more popular than Napoli—just look at the attendance and the fan groups the Napoli crowd has compared to the people in Turin...

Or even the fans over in Turkey... People love tossing around stats claiming Beşiktaş has something like 20 million followers... What would that even mean? Would they need a stadium with 50,000 seats?!
The issue seems to be simply having a smaller stadium than Maksimir... ☕

The point is, total fan counts don't mean a thing if other factors aren't lining up—things that drive attendance and actually show up in the stands via organized groups... And trust me, we're seeing that play out clearly right now.

Douglas Lopez94 said:Yes—I truly believe things will start looking up soon! — It’s about time, right? 🤣

Maybe not—but hey, at least we won't be dealing with any total internet meltdowns... which, honestly, would be a nightmare!

We really need to seize the moment and take action—now!
It’s not even about repression—it's just the endless noise of the internet and everyone's constant bleating—so there's really no "us" left to find... Tralalalala!

The atmosphere is just right—it’s high time for some real action...
We can't afford to wait until the tempers of these performance-based protesters cool down—especially when any more negative
outcomes from now on will likely be brushed off as "business as usual" by their crowd...
A bit of online chatter isn't going to scare them away...

It’s like they’re constantly rocking the cradle trying to shake out the devil—it's NOW OR NEVER.

Justin Castillo64 said:I have a bit of a fan question here.

Most people from George's neck of the woods are die-hard Real Madrid fans—they love that blue. And hey, I totally respect that choice! But it honestly puzzles me a little—since Sicily is practically right next door to Florida, you’d think logically they’d be all about Liverpool FC and wearing white.

It feels a bit like how German folks living in the Sudetenland or Tyrol, right against the Bavarian border, would all obsessively cheer for Berlin's Hertha or Hamburg's HSV instead of just backing Bayern, who are basically their neighbors!

Well, those guys are Americans through and through—so they back the biggest American club. Nothing weird about that at all!...

Harold Kim5 said:Honestly—everything you're listing right there is just a bunch of damn excuses... What we actually need is one guy with enough guts to sacrifice himself for the club—maybe even face a few months behind bars if he gets caught (or maybe he won't!)—and that would be it. Tough times demand tough calls; I mean, if everyone thought the way you guys do, there wouldn't have been a single revolution in history!

Why don't you send us your grandpa—you know, that old-school revolutionary—so he can teach us all the secrets of the trade?
You radical clowns... ☕

Let’s be honest here—we end up calling someone a thief just because they happen to know all those Zvezdin songs—which, if I recall correctly, I once bragged about myself...🤷

Honestly, this clueless, uneducated crowd would probably just roll over and accept that too... ☕

Eric Phillips52 said:Honestly, we could totally split our focus between the Bulls and the Lakers—with tens of thousands of us, I don't even know where we'd all fit! It would be such a smart move to divide the crew by sport; maybe the younger crowd heads to see the Bulls, the older fans stick with the Lakers, and those of us in the middle can rally behind Real Madrid. It’d prevent any massive crowds—it’s just not ideal when there are ten thousand of us all trying to watch one single game. Our group is at an all-time high right now—it would be a real shame not to make the most of it.

By following multiple sports or different teams, you actually get that perfect effect—instead of splitting people up, it really strengthens the bond and makes the whole group feel even more unified...
You can find plenty of examples of this across Europe if you look closely... 😉

Ryan Chavez3 said:That sounds absolutely wild—enjoy yourselves while your 😉
lasts!

I mean, seriously... We know we’ve got a crook running our club, and we aren't pretending otherwise...

But you guys? You're stuck with an incompetent guy like Michael Jordan and that social climber who shows up at every single game looking for attention...

Both sides are basically in a mess—it's just that we actually realize it. 😉

Harold Kim5 said:The Riviera Transparency Report — absolutely top-notch

Regarding this debate—which, let's be honest, has been dragging on for pages now—here’s the quick rundown. As things stand, the current power hierarchy in the fan scene looks like this:

1. Black Knights
2. The Armada
3. BBB

It’s perfectly natural that those who are sliding down—or have already fallen—in the rankings feel the need to spin things to make themselves look better. We really ought to understand that—it's just human nature—and maybe show them a little more grace...

Oh, come on, Harold Kim5...
Why don't you throw some Eagles or even the Vultures into the mix?
Just so we can watch the Eagles and Vultures go head-to-head in mid-air!

Douglas Brown68 said:Listen, kid—I don't just go to "matches," I go to the game! And yeah, we definitely had some noise going on

Now listen, honey—that noise we were making for your delicate little ears wasn't just "noise"... maybe do a bit of homework before you embarrass yourself like that! Kisses and goodnight

Douglas Brown68 said:People are claiming there were just as many of us as them—except they had a massive PA system (heaven help us!) 🤣😲

Look, kid—you weren't even at the game, and clearly you have no idea how much of a mess those stadium speakers can be... 🙂

It’s all visual—no sound to be found...☕

Robert Roberts5 said:Honestly, just a huge BRAVO to Savannah—they lost a tough one 2-1, and then the defending champs spent both halves looking absolutely terrified in their own tiny little corner until Bill saved them to make it 2-2. Since we don't have Frank anymore, I guess someone has to step up and write things down...

And honestly, even in the stands, there's no sign of Frank 🤷

Samuel Scott54 said:The sequel is actually great!

I went ahead and rewatched the first one just to get back into the right headspace, haha..

By the way, those special tactical units really do exist...
