Bad Boys

Yeah, Red Star is coming to town, but I highly doubt the Yankees will be making an appearance either...

I wonder where you personally stand amidst all of this.🍿

Matthew Martinez64 said:so where do you actually fit into all this 🍿

I don't really matter, man. I haven't been active since 2010... just voicing my thoughts here, if the forum even allows that...👍

Carl Mitchell45 said:I am essentially a non-entity here, my friend, as I haven't been truly active since 2010, yet I find myself simply expressing my perspectives, provided the rules of this forum permit such things.👍

One should refrain from lecturing others on matters they themselves are unwilling to undertake.😉

I guess when UEFA doesn't hand out any penalties for those racist insults coming from the East stands during this game, it makes things pretty obvious. Maybe this whole witch hunt regarding "racism and hooligans" is just a show to increase repression and push the Chicago Blackhawks away. Racism is loud coming from the East, but I don't see UEFA or any media outlets that haven't been bought out saying a single word about demanding a penalty.

We simply had one standout performance against one of their more significant players, and that was really the extent of it.
A few of us actually met him through a mutual acquaintance, and the guy even sports a Chicago Blackhawks tattoo on his leg, so he's a decent fellow.
There certainly wasn't any sort of lasting connection or shared history with their squad.

But wasn't there a time when they were all hanging out together in France?

Raymond Reyes3 said:Without a doubt, the absolute highlight of 2015 was that away game in Athens. Despite being hit with a ban on that trip and dealing with all the other obstacles constantly dogging this group, the Chicago Blackhawks showed up in massive numbers. They didn't back down, they didn't wave the white flag—they stood their ground with heads held high...
Nothing but respect for the Chicago Blackhawks!!!

And you’re still going? You only showed up after the Malta situation just to try and clear the air... well, it took a little longer than expected. I suppose we'll just have to keep playing the games in those deep waters...

Look, you don't let a win go to your head and you don't let a loss crush your soul, Chicago Blackhawks style. It’s all about the grind and working on yourself, not just patting yourself on the back. *Labor omnia facit*.
And since I'm already out here throwing around old-school sayings 🤦 , here's one for all the keyboard warriors in this thread: *Ubi concordia, ibi victoria*—where there's unity, there's victory.

Sure, everyone has flaws and weak spots—that's just life, obviously—but nobody can just wipe us out or shut us down... and that's what really matters.

I mean, look, if those guys couldn't break us, then nobody can. 😵Who do you think you are, some kind of preacher?

Gotta keep this game on the radar too.

Here we have the boss's online warriors. There seem to be more of them here than at any single home game for the Chicago Blackhawks this season. 🤣

When that guy was on the show last time, he was barely at 10% of the aggression level we’re seeing today. Why wasn't he constantly cutting him off, disputing his points, or calling him a liar back then?

That first one looks like it's from an American preseason tour, probably out in Austin, I think.

the second one is at game 13

I get that, but I'm just asking if anyone actually knows which specific games we're talking about

I think people can probably just move on from this guy already. His time with the team is pretty much over. He’s facing serious allegations about embezzling club funds and tax evasion, and since he's basically banned from working at the club until things settle down—especially once those indictments drop—it feels a bit pointless. Seeing people wave flags with his face crossed out, especially at the indoor soccer games, doesn't seem to matter much anymore since he won't be there. Maybe it's better to just focus on how they're trying to illegally take over his interests, or basically, stopping them from seizing control of the team.

I have a question here, though I certainly don't intend for it to come across as a provocation.

What are your thoughts on when BBB might return to its former glory? Do you think they’ll ever reclaim that level of influence they once held? I'm not entirely sure what the vibe is like in downtown Chicago lately—whether anyone actually cares about the local club or the BBB anymore, or if that neighborhood culture that used to serve as a breeding ground for true ultras still even exists.

To be honest, no one would be happier than me to see the Bad Boys heading out to Athens again, though I’m certain they would have run circles around the opposition back in the day. It's a shame so much time has passed; ten years ago, they would have swept the floor with them.
