Huge flags, smoke machines, flares, really solid messaging... It was top tier. ☕

Regarding the way they just hauled off random people into custody because some brainless kids in uniforms had a total meltdown in the Midwest... I honestly don't even have the words. It’s a police state, plain and simple. And the mainstream media? They were all too eager to push the narrative about clashes between fan groups and tear gas, or whatever else they felt like calling it. It’s a complete circus.

🙂 😵 🤦

Is this really that clown running for Mayor? I guess this might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. He’s actually calling on both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party to protest against the NFL Ultras. Maybe he thinks he's funny. 😂😂

little Aca was baptized right here with us!

Honestly, nobody on this entire forum has actually answered my question. I want to know how much a soda costs when it's billed to some big-shot Rangers fans VIP at the cafe located inside the team's own facilities. 🙂

There should be an assembly meeting coming up soon, I suppose....

You know what you need to do... 🙂

Dennis Reed71 said:Given how many of us showed up, we really should have been making more noise...

Considering our numbers, you guys did alright.
It’s been a long road, but I think this derby had the highest police presence I’ve ever seen. Maybe they were just extra nervous about us.

For us, quantity over quality has basically been the standard during derbies since back in 2006 or 2007. But whatever. For me, the main thing this time was just showing a united front—making it clear that we won't stand for trash soccer. Hopefully, that energy sticks from here on out.

P.S. It’s funny how much the EPIC media outlets love to kiss ass... Not a single sentence mentions us standing together or our messages, but they’ll jump on articles like this immediately:

Steven Kelly35 said:Great songs. Everyone should sing them together. Honestly, the best premiere would be this Saturday, maybe with some slight lyric tweaks—I think it makes more sense that way.
I kept the non-bolded part this way just to avoid any regional mockery if we ever end up singing this at a joint protest.

THEY don't WANT our voices to be heard
and with these new laws they HIT us,
but we’re telling them: every hit only makes us stronger.
We’ll fight until the very end,
Against the anti-laws, against the bans,
TO YOU out of pure spite, let a flare burn bright
because it represents our burning desire, that’s what we’re saying,
we’ll fight until the very end!

It would be nice. I guess we don't all have much time left.

He once told me about the kind of calls he gets and how much his phone rings. Personally, I’d rather be working in a nickel mine in Siberia than doing his job. Seriously. 🙏🙏🙏

I’ve personally watched him want to smash his phone against a wall at least 50 times over these last 6 years because of calls about tickets, banners, organizing travel, bus/flight logistics, and all that nonsense. It’s never actually happened, though. People would call him with the absolute worst bullshit while he was just trying to grab coffee, prep choreography, or hang out at the Club or home. So, yeah, maybe think twice about why that guy ended up in the secretary role.

rustyangler122 said:...If a guy just doesn't want to come back, what then? I guess there isn't much to be done. Maybe you just have to accept it.🤷
Look, if you set aside all the gripes, the guy does an incredible job on the sidelines. Honestly, he’s a personal friend of mine, so I know exactly how his head works. Just leave him alone already, for crying out loud.

Leave the man alone. He’s got a long term ahead of him in a role that’s honestly more grueling than any cushy cabinet position or high-level corporate directorship in DC. He’s handled things honorably so far, though he’s definitely burned some nerves in the process. It hasn't helped that he rarely had anyone actually stepping up to back him when things got heavy, which I guess gives his track record a bit more weight. He’s just realized it’s time for a shift in direction. If he walks away now, he can just head down to the local gym, grab a barbell, and leave all this noise behind.

Look, you have to understand one thing—the NFL Ultras aren't just some single individual. You can have one guy, maybe with a few versatile allies, running a small crew where the same thirty people show up to every away game, and their biggest headache is organizing an occasional halftime choreo. We’ve said it a hundred times: that kind of scale is both a massive strength and a total curse. You end up with this core group of people who have been around for years. They’re the ones with enough grit to take on a thankless job like this—a job where you're constantly fighting against the local Miami mentality, internal flaws within the group, and endless administrative bullshit. You don't even expect any credit when things actually go right, because at the end of the day, you're doing it out of love for the Club and the guys. But if you screw up? Well, then the firing starts. You get hit from three sides: first, by anyone who disagrees with you using lines like, "Man, I knew this would happen once X and Y took charge"; second, by the media; and third, in most cases, by the cops. There’s a difference between being skeptical and being actively obstructive. Everyone has a right to be wary of change, sure, but life moves on. You don't have the right to sabotage someone else's efforts unless you were actually planning on stepping up and taking the heat yourself.

The fan culture needs to stay messy for as long as it takes until everyone finally stands up, because forcing things just doesn't work. At the end of the day, being a leader within the supporters isn't like those old roles where you just picked between the guy who could outdrink anyone or the egoist who wanted to climb the stadium rafters. These days, it’s more like being a conductor, except when the conductor leaves, there isn't exactly a set score to follow. It makes things harder, I guess. If you have complaints, fine—bring them all, along with actual arguments on how to change things, to the General Assembly. Until then—or after that, if you choose to stay silent—just let people do the work. Let them handle the paperwork, sew the flags, or coordinate the buses for away games. Not to mention all the other essential stuff any organized group has to deal with. 😁

Let's keep this rolling...

The North Stand $167, huh? Well, if you're from the Srinjin area or somewhere nearby, finding our "honest" gentleman is easy enough—just a few clicks on a white pages directory. He’s smart enough to list his full address and cell number. 😁

This one is slightly more "decent," asking $100 for a North Stand ticket, sold in a pack of 500. It's a mixed bag; the guy claims he's just your neighbor. Give 'im a ring. 😉

And then there's the third candidate, the biggest saint of them all, asking "only" $83 per seat for the North Stand. What a generous gesture.

Let's put an end to these scammers and highway robbers once and for all. 🙂

I went to watch the Super Bowl, as usual, and watching the coverage on Bleacher Report, I just couldn't shake the frustration over how two idiots acting in tandem with local authorities are basically bullying our small town. That older jerk spent the entire game being a complete disgrace, playing dirty and showing zero respect—not that he even knows—for the club legends who gave everything for this city and this team, more than he ever will. He’s still acting like he can talk down to everyone and act like we all owe him something.
As an active fan, it honestly breaks my heart that people like him get to roam our streets and then show up at our big tournament—territory they never belonged to in the first place—just to spit in our faces. You don't see that kind of behavior anywhere else, not even in NYC! I wish someone would step up (and I feel bad saying it since I haven't myself) and give him a piece of their mind if he keeps pushing his luck.
I wonder what’s next. Is he going to start sitting in the stands trying to police the crowd too?
I saw some of our own locals siding with them, and frankly, they seem worse than the outsiders. It scares me that things might go south there too, much like what happened with the club...

Ultimately, I feel ashamed, both for myself and for my city.

Come on, stop talking nonsense. What territory are you even talking about? If it bothered you that he was acting out, maybe it's because you weren't involved. And that whole thing about "locals" siding with them is just pure delusion. ☕

Brady started with the nonsense—it’s always about the men first, I guess. "He’ll pay the NFL Ultras at the end of the season to stop throwing flares on the field, all just as a way to cut down on fine costs." I honestly don't know if that's good for 🙄, 😂, 🙂, or 🙂

Raymond King47 said:Well, if you can't sense what’s lingering in the air right now, then I guess there isn't much point in me explaining it. It seems pretty obvious to me, and honestly, I don't really feel like typing out a whole manifesto just to deal with ten idiots arguing over nonsense. Besides, it looks like Zillow will have plenty of work to do handling all that chaos... and as for anyone being blocked from entering? No one would ever agree on that. It's not like Trump's decisions are something you can go begging the police to fix for us... though, even if things went that way, there’s always a workaround, similar to how things went during the first breach. Either way, it would make for some interesting drama, I suppose.

Then maybe don't write anything at all. I think you're well aware enough to realize that the governments of two different states would probably just strike a deal to keep visiting fans from crossing the border, just like they've done plenty of times before. As for your issues with those Trump's style decisions—look, that doesn't even matter for this specific discussion. ☕

Raymond King47 said:I'm just hoping you guys actually want this... most of what happened during that last Chicago game is still hanging in the air for you all...

What’s left hanging in the air? Just the fact that the game didn't even happen because the cops wouldn't let half of the "South Side" crew into the city. And this time, they aren't letting anyone through if it turns out Chicago pulls it off again. 🤷

Ahahaha, I guess they forgot to mention that a few armored assault vehicles were also ordered through black market channels, just in case the cocktails don't cut it. 🤣🤣 If only the Hajduk Youth Academy 😂

Couldn't really find a spot that fit this perfectly, so I'm just tossing it into various.

So, quick question—is it actually possible for someone receiving a letter to just... send it right back to the sender's account?

ruggedowl71 said:The Bad Boys took over the Hill. It was pure energy during those Kansas City Chiefs games. This guy, whoever he is, probably thought he was doing something for the national team.

Some random guy stripped that makeshift Castleton flag off the fence—literally 😁—with plenty of help from the police. I guess the person who actually put a marker-drawn flag on that fence in the first place was pretty clueless, but hey, at least nothing serious happened then. I suppose you could say the same about the Barbarians 🙂

That flag ended up being seized at the Madison police station, if my memory serves me right... ☕

I guess I should probably get moving. Maybe I'll catch some sleep if I try. Good night. Asks:
I guess I’m leaning toward heading out to the north end or wherever the edge of the stadium is just to show up and cheer. It isn't about some self-righteous crusade or following rigid ultra protocols. It’s just about backing the players and the front office. Honestly, this current management actually stands by us. Previous administrations used to spend all their time trashing the NFL Ultras whenever things got tough.

I’m about ready to lose my mind here. I might just shoot myself, or maybe toss myself off a lighthouse over Catalina’s nonsense. Seriously. Is my support for the Kansas City Chiefs management supposed to mean I have to sit here and swallow this garbage? They’re making a mess out of things that should be common sense to everyone. Do you people actually read what you post before hitting send? I doubt it. 🙂🙂🙂

wearyorca75 said:You’re talking nonsense. None of us actually know exactly what went down, but the guy lost an eye, and honestly, arguing over whether he deserved it feels pretty stupid right now. I guess I just believe that we don't actually care about anyone getting hurt like that—regardless of whatever heated things people might have said or done in the moment.

Look, honey—give me a break. Nobody actually knows what went down there, not even the cops or the courts. But here’s the reality: the guy is still sitting in jail. There isn't even any evidence to show he actually did anything. 🙄 Screw The New York Times and the Associated Press.

The answer is pretty straightforward—you just have to look at things for what they actually are.

Back in '71, the state had every right to break away from the Union whenever it felt like it.

The mindset of the federal leadership back then was crystal clear. Between the push to carve out autonomous regions within Canada and those massive rallies in places like Mexico, they made it obvious why they were so desperate to hold the federation together at any cost.

It’s no secret to any American—or even anyone following the history there—that leaders like Maddox wanted to unite all their people under one socialist banner, which basically meant trying to seize control of all of Canada and those outlying territories.

And honestly, wasn't that the exact same playbook used by figures like Draza Mihailovic back in '41? History tends to repeat itself, I guess.
----

So, Harmon exercised the rights that the state held and moved to separate from the Union. But the opposition—the federalists—refused to recognize that right, keeping troops stationed on domestic soil just to protect the integrity of the old system.

That’s essentially how the whole mess spiraled into conflict across the Midwest, the coast, and everywhere else in between.
