Bad Boys

Noah Jones92 said:Look, they've successfully kept the Bad Boys away from the home stadium—mission accomplished. Mamić is so terrified of the Bad Boys that he’s basically making sure we can't even step foot in a different state, let alone our own backyard. And most of us just settle for tossing a few flares in some tiny parking lot where the cops disperse us in seconds. Thinking you're actually screwing with Mamić by playing futsal instead of being at the main stadium... man, that's just delusional. Honestly, both the cops and Mamić would probably pay to have the futsal matches held as far away from the big stadium as possible. And expecting Mamić to take a hit just because they lose to Arsenal? Please. It's pathetic.

Respect, man... if you think this is how it all works, you clearly haven't been hanging out at the headquarters or in the supporter clubs. Hey, Matthew Martinez64—who even are you? You seem to have an opinion on everything. Go ahead then, tell me exactly what this guy got wrong. Give me a name and a face. It's funny how people who can barely afford their own groceries want to dictate what everyone else should say or think. Everyone seems fine with us sticking to futsal while we're nowhere to be seen at the main stadium—even though half the guys acting tough at these small games haven't shown up to a real match in years. Seriously, you guys have nothing to do with the big club except maybe once a year during a European away game. For me, there's only one real leader because he's actually present at the stadium; the rest of you should just stick to futsal since you're doing so well there. The actual group is practically extinct at this point. Does the Bad Boys even have a clubhouse in the city anymore? What are we even talking about... certain groups can throw a hundred flares at a minor team's game, but at the futsal matches? God forbid, we might actually make some noise.

The cops only care how much weight you carry on the futsal court—they don't give a damn about anything else. You can set off a flare just a few blocks away from downtown Chicago and they’ll pave over you with asphalt instantly... and for what? A hundred people hanging out? It's like you guys are living in some parallel universe where you don't realize our group of BBB is basically circling the drain... meanwhile, this other group also calling themselves BBB is absolutely surging. But man, come on with the instigating—Noah Jones92, seriously? We’re talking about dying for our futsal roots, the same ones our grandfathers and fathers lived by. "Rent-a-ultras"... I honestly can't stand most ultras, except for those guys back in hometown territory, so my bad to the rest of you.

Matthew Martinez64 said:even more intense 🙏 🤣 🤣

I’d much rather stand with a hundred honest souls than a thousand spineless cowards.😉 I honestly wonder if anyone who doesn't side with us is just a total sellout or maybe just someone getting paid under the table? Just so you know, those paid shills probably managed to flip at least another hundred people over to their side yesterday. But hey, my friend, you can keep playing the part of Al Capone and mocking everyone if you really want to. I suppose we'll just have to see how things play out when reality finally hits you right in the face.

Look, it’s time for a change of pace. I’ve stood by you guys this whole time, but this whole situation with futsal? It’s becoming pure torture. Watching the game last night, I just felt this massive wave of regret that I wasn't up in the stands with my old crew, cheering my heart out for Real Madrid. But let’s be real—futsal isn't Real Madrid. Don't get me wrong, I don't support that shady owner or the suits running the show, but I refuse to let my grudge against the front office overshadow my love for the club.
Do whatever you want, but honestly, I might just go follow Olympiakos or Bayern Munich instead. I'm just done with all this constant drama...

LISTEN TO US, YOU VIP BOX SUFFERS, NOBODY CAN TAKE REAL MADRID AWAY FROM US!

steelseal10 said:It is far better to stand with one hundred honest individuals than to align oneself with a thousand opportunists.😉 Is anyone who disagrees with us simply motivated by greed or perhaps even being on someone else's payroll? I should mention that those paid actors managed to sway at least another hundred people to their side just yesterday. Yet, my friend, you continue to play the part of Al Capone by mocking those who hold our convictions. You will eventually face the consequences of such arrogance.

Please, do not try to amuse me. It is quite obvious that major decisions are not going to be decided on an internet forum.🤦

Scott Sanchez71 said:It is high time that certain things undergo a fundamental change. While I have offered my unwavering support until now, the current state of indoor soccer has become nothing short of an agonizing ordeal. Watching the match last night, I felt a profound sense of regret that I was not there in the stands with my old group of friends, cheering them on with everything I had. Real Madrid is my team.Futsal simply isn't on the same level as Real Madrid. To be clear, I have absolutely no intention of supporting that organization or the people running it. Al Capone. I cannot and will not allow my resentment toward the club's management to ever supersede my devotion to Real Madrid.
You may choose whatever path you see fit, but I intend to support both Olympiakos and Bayern Munich regardless. I have reached my limit with this exhausting state of affairs.

🤣 🤣 🤣

Nobody’s untouchable, including today’s starting lineup and the group leadership. But let’s be real—remember how they caved under pressure to end the boycott? Pretty soon, it was just them left holding the bag again.

Then there’s the whole blacklist issue. I ended up on one even though I didn't do a damn thing wrong. Sure, we should’ve kept showing up to local games after the FC Barcelona and Folo Esch matches, but make no mistake: by now, we’d have 300 to 500 people blacklisted.

Thirdly, and this is huge, is the constant negativity and defeatism. That's actually a much bigger headache than Mamić.

Fourth and biggest of all? The Boss killed Real Madrid. None of us are cheering for them with everything we've got anymore, and honestly, some of us are rooting against them. No amount of going to games is going to fix that. Before you know it, the crowd is just gonna dwindle down to a tiny handful of people.

Looks like they clearly cut everyone's pay today...🎉

along with their bonuses 🤣 🤣

Matthew Martinez64 said:Don't make me laugh, because I highly doubt major decisions are actually being made on some random internet forum. 🤦

Honestly, guys, I couldn't care less where the decisions are being made. It seems like they never bother asking the people who actually matter anyway, so why start now? I guess it’s just sad because we’ve lost so many talented local kids over the last few years—kids from the neighborhood who really should be playing, but they stay away because they're terrified of being treated like nothing more than cheap labor. 😉 This whole thing isn't even about this forum, BUT since you feel the need to nitpick everything, I suppose I'll match your energy and reply just so we aren't still arguing a year from now. Enjoy the sunshine.

Jesse Campbell said:I suppose nobody is truly untouchable here, including the current leadership and the core group. But if we look back at how much pressure they faced to end the boycott, it seems like everything just fell right back onto their shoulders quite quickly.

Then there's the issue of those blacklists. Personally, I ended up on one without having done anything wrong at all. I mean, I agree that we should have kept attending local games after the matches against FC Barcelona and Folo Esch, but I honestly think we’d probably have hundreds more people stuck on those lists by now.

The third—and arguably second biggest—issue is all this negativity and defeatism. In my opinion, that might actually be a much heavier burden than anything involving Mamić.

And finally, the biggest hurdle of them all is that the management essentially killed the spirit of Real Madrid, so none of us really cheer for them with our whole hearts anymore. Even if people cheer against them, it doesn't change the fact that attendance eventually dwindles down to just a small handful of people.

I think you know deep down that everyone is just grateful for that FC Barcelona game. 😉

We have lost so many talented local kids over the last few years because they are terrified of being treated like charity cases if they show up to games. 😉 This isn't even really a topic meant for this forum, but since you feel the need to be condescending to everyone, I felt compelled to respond so we aren't still dealing with this a year from now. Enjoy the sunshine.

Are you actually trying to be difficult right now?
Is this really where you think this should be settled? You clearly know exactly who you should be talking to instead of venting here; nobody is going to physically stop you from taking this elsewhere.

The third issue—and arguably the second biggest—is the negativity and defeatism. That’s a way bigger problem than Mamić.

Fourth, and most importantly, is that the President basically killed Real Madrid. None of us are pulling for them with our whole hearts anymore, and even if we cheer against them, it doesn't change the turnout at the games. Before long, the crowd just shrinks down to a tiny group.

I respect you, T., but I can't agree with that last part... yeah, the President killed the club, sure, but we did plenty of the damage ourselves. We're the ones to blame here. And look at the hypocrisy—the President is in charge, the stadium is packed, and everyone's losing their minds when we score against FC Barcelona? Since when did those guys stop bothering us? I've asked this a million times: if the President goes, then what? Are you planning to kick out everyone who showed up while he was in office? Is that even realistic? If not, then why hate the team now, only to love them again once he's gone? Our loyalty seems pretty shaky if that's the case. It’s not just him; we’re the ones who messed up. You see people celebrating goals in the stands, and half of them are actually scared to celebrate. Look, I’m a big guy—120 kilos—so I don't feel like I need to justify myself to anyone. Let's be clear: those who act make mistakes, and those who do nothing can't even mess up. But moving at this pace and rushing toward nothing is just madness—pure insanity. It feels like we’ve already signed our own death warrant and now we're just looking for a spectacular way to go down. I'm not having it. I refuse to accept that Real Madrid belongs to Mamić while the futsal team is ours. Respect to the futsal squad, but personally, it doesn't mean 0.1% of what the main team means to me, and most people feel the same. People come for the group, for the lifestyle, not to live and breathe futsal. We need a total turnaround because this is going nowhere—just look at the numbers. Every single sub-group has at least 50% fewer people than they had a year or two ago. Every single one. We don't even have an association headquarters in the city. I'm ready to put $3,000 into pushing this group forward, but what then? Who am I giving it to? For what? To pay fines? I'm not about to pay people's fines just because they were collected from us. We don't have a master plan; we're just pushing as far as we can. If anyone thinks I'm doing this for money, just hit my DMs.
