There’s just nothing like that raw, heartfelt energy during the Night Spring games... especially when...Come on, New York City! Let’s get those hands up and start singing..." 😲 🙏
I’m seriously expecting even more this Monday—I'm talking a packed house and total collective madness...


LET’S GO EVERYONE, RIGHT NOW... Just throw your hands up in the air and start singing...
I’m never gonna stop cheering for Dinamo with everything I’ve got, man... through thick and thin, we ride with them forever...

LET'S GO, NEW YORK CITY! We’re the absolute best, seriously, nobody touches us...
Wherever Dinamo goes, we’re right there behind them, loyal to New York City through and through...

I honestly think this needs to be handled a bit more professionally... 🕺

Shall we discuss Pula, or is everything else suddenly more pressing? Let’s focus on how many beers and snacks you all plan to consume at the Milwaukee Wave game instead. We can talk about how we'll be a crowd of four thousand, yet somehow there will only be a hundred of us actually present in Pula. It doesn't seem to matter. Go ahead, you internet keyboard warriors, keep sleeping. 👍

I have already encountered individuals who would much rather take their days off to attend a Futsal match than travel to San Francisco. Honestly, things simply shouldn't be this way; it's fundamentally wrong. Real Madrid needs to take precedence over Futsal, because if we manage to attend even a single Futsal game instead of an away match, it would feel like a significant win for our collective morale.

What a free day for San Francisco. What are you two up to? Why are you acting so lost?

How does that even make sense? You skipped the game against Real Madrid because of Futsal, so what exactly are you trying to pull here? If you’re confused, you know where to reach out. Just more transparent attempts to mess with BBB online for the 3,866th time.

Why on earth isn't this thread locked? Are we running a daycare here?

The math isn't adding up. You didn't head over to Real Madrid for the Futsal match, yet here you are trying to pull something. If you're confused, you know where to find us. Just more transparent attempts by the Bad Boys to mess with BBB online for the 3,866th time.

Why the hell isn't this thread locked? Is it run by grandmas?

I've been watching these clone accounts and profiles with exactly two posts for nearly two weeks now. They are damn persistent.

Come on, everyone, put your hands up and sing, hahaha... man, just give up on the whole supporter thing...

Exactly. Everyone is obsessed with this damn Futsal. It's wonderful, truly. But our voice and our presence mean nothing if we aren't where the actual fight happens—right against the wall, facing those failed criminals and those pathetic losers from Real Madrid. We need hundreds of people there, not just sitting in some arena where we already dictate the rules anyway. All season long during away games, it's the same few faces. The ones who scream the loudest at the Futsal matches? You can't find them anywhere (and I don't mean the ones with the bans). Some people in their later years are only supporters on this specific fan forum or through an agency. Or on Facebook, where you see someone acting tough, knowing full well they aren't actually anywhere. They just insist on talking trash. You don't win battles from your couch, you little jerks. Let fifty kids carry the entire weight of this group until their backs break, while your biggest concern is whether or not there's beer available at the Futsal match. When all the wars are won—and they will be won, because we don't know any other way—you'll all be beating your chests proudly. But deep down, a part of you will always know you did nothing. If you honestly believe that posting garbage on Facebook and forums contributes to the group, then do us all a favor and just disappear, just like that green traitor Nijaz. Delete this, valismote; I know this clashes with your views, otherwise, this thread wouldn't even exist. 🙂

What the hell are you even talking about when you mention "silver-spoon kids"?
The guy wrote an absolutely spot-on post, just like the few posts above it. I honestly don't get what part of this isn't true. From the very second we started investing in this Futsal project, the message was loud and clear: this isn't a replacement for Real Madrid. We were told constantly that the big football club would always be the priority, always number one. So how in the world does it make sense that 4,000 people show up for a Futsal match, yet only 200 show up for a game in San Francisco?? It is freaking infuriating for those of us who are 100% "all in" and have been taking crap from everyone for years just to support the group. Maybe try using your heads regarding priorities before you come on here to trash the forum.

driftingotter47 said:What are you even talking about regarding those die-hard fans?
The guy wrote an excellent post, just like a few others above him. I don't see what isn't true here. When this Futsal project first started, it was constantly emphasized that it wouldn't replace Real Madrid, and that the big soccer team would always be the top priority. So how is it possible that 4,000 people show up for Futsal, yet only 200 go to San Francisco? It's honestly frustrating for those who are 100% "all in" and have been taking heat for the whole group for years. Maybe reconsider your priorities before criticizing everything on the forum.

That is exactly what I wrote a few weeks ago. We are a supporters' group that follows the Real Madrid soccer club. If Real Madrid were playing the Locomotives at the local stadium this Monday, maybe 300-400 people would show up. It really comes down to priorities, and it’s interesting that those same 300-400 people are the ones showing up for Futsal, Real Madrid, the Cup, friendlies, and so on...

driftingotter47 said:What exactly are you implying when you talk about those Tatić guys?
That guy hit the nail on the head, much like his previous posts above. I honestly don't see what part of this is being contested. When this whole Futsal project was first getting off the ground, the message was always loud and clear: this isn't meant to replace Real Madrid. We were told repeatedly that the big soccer team would always be the top priority, sitting firmly at number one. So, how does it make sense that we see 4,000 people showing up for a Futsal match, yet only 200 show up when the team travels to San Francisco? It’s just a frustrating reality for those of us who have been fully committed to the cause, essentially taking the heat for the entire group for years now. Maybe take a second to actually think about where our priorities lie before you start coming for people on this forum.

🙏 I’m signing off on everything from top to bottom.
Daniel Carter9 said:The whole point of those calls is just to get people through the doors. If someone isn't planning on showing up, they aren't going to change their mind just because of the Bulldog; they'll find a thousand other excuses to stay home. At the end of the day, you can't ignore the fact that without the Bulldog, this club wouldn't even exist in the first place.

Things go completely sideways during a junior varsity game, and within half a day, everyone has moved on like nothing happened. Yet, suddenly, we’re all acting like it’s some massive Bulldog scandal, obsessing over people using phones in the stands for two weeks straight—all thanks to the same group of people who couldn't be bothered to show up to a single protest in the past.

I don’t know who exactly is getting worked up about it, but since when did anyone care if the Bulldog decides to give the Dinamo Futsal guys a wide berth?
Honestly, the Bulldog is one of the few things actually worth paying attention to in this city, mostly because they're the only ones who actually stand by what they believe in.

Obviously, the whole point of those calls to action and posters is just to get as many people as possible into the stands for the Dinamo Futsal matches. The guy wasn't actually attacking the Bulldog or what it represents; he was just pointing out that the poster design feels totally wrong for this kind of thing. People really need to learn how to take a bit of criticism without assuming someone is trying to mess with their head. Sometimes you point things out simply because they need fixing. From where I’m sitting, Dinamo Futsal was designed to be a project for all the fans—everyone from the die-hards to the casual supporters—and these types of posters don't just look tacky, they send the wrong message, if you ask me. Whatever happened to the slogans about families being welcome, or "this is your club," or "join the blue army," or "be part of the big Dinamo Futsal family"? It’s all gone. Honestly, looking at this specific poster, the only thing missing is an ACAB slogan and a cracked skull. 😁 ....

Right now, our main focus and primary occupation should be fighting against the Federation and fighting for Real Madrid. I honestly don't get what we're waiting for. Our rivals are out there scooping up all the credit and acting like absolute saints—though, as we all know perfectly well, they haven't actually lifted a finger to help. Meanwhile, we just sit here staying quiet as if we’re afraid of making waves.

Nobody actually has an issue with the Bulldog, but there’s a time and a place for everything, I suppose.

Our rivals are out there grabbing all the headlines and acting like they're some kind of moral saints (and we all know damn well they haven't done a single thing), while we just sit here in silence like we're afraid to rock the boat...

But look, they’ve played the media game perfectly. Seriously, when you have a major city and a massive club backing you up, everything is easier, but we really blew it by not leveraging our strengths during this whole struggle. Even over the last few weeks, we could have made a huge impact, yet there isn't a peep from the BBB group. Now, I’m not going to second-guess the management because they clearly know what they're doing, but I honestly don't understand this silence right now when we should be making noise from every single angle.🤷

driftingotter47 said:I can't really make sense of that. If you have something specific you want me to work on, just let me know.I mean, you have to hand it to them—their media game was absolutely top-tier. It’s just so much easier to pull off that kind of polished branding when you’ve got an entire major city and a massive club backing your every move.Honestly, we had so many opportunities to capitalize on our momentum during this struggle, and looking back at these past few weeks, there was plenty of room to make some real moves. But instead, there’s just total radio silence from the BBB group. Look, I’m not trying to micromanage the front office—I’m sure they have their reasons and know what they’re doing better than I do—but this sudden silence is hard to swallow right when we should be hitting them from every angle. 🤷

I’m not even going to waste my breath talking about their PR skills; let's just say their lobbying power makes Kim Kardashian look like an amateur. 😁 Sure, having a massive budget makes everything a whole lot easier, but we can't just keep making excuses about how they have more money or better facilities than we do. We’ve always been known for having a clear identity—just pure grit and standing our ground—but lately, that seems to have vanished. Now, everyone is just obsessed with Futsal. Let's be honest, that's where all the talk is these days. It's become this performative thing where "being a supporter" is basically just a joke; anyone can claim to be part of the Bad Boys, but it usually just means acting like some tough guy who needs to snap a couple of photos of a scuffle just so his high school buddies can see he isn't someone to mess with. 🤣 Look, we’ve got the Association headquarters available, and there’s clearly a growing interest from new kids and local folks showing up for Futsal. They’re waiting for someone to actually step up and give them some guidance and structure. People love to complain—it’s always the same fifty voices whining about the same fifty issues. Sure, those complaints might be valid, but let’s be honest: none of us have actually made a real effort to pull together a solid core group of volunteers. And by "core," I don't mean the hardcore ultras or anything like that; I mean people willing to help out with the actual organizational heavy lifting. Take the sign-ups for Dinamo Futsal, for example. A ton of people left their contact info, especially their emails, but how many of them have actually heard back from us? It feels like everyone expects things to be handed to them on a silver platter. They show up as a group, expect us to have the court ready and everything set, and then the moment they encounter any kind of friction, they just make an excuse and head home. If we want to fix this, we need to start hosting meetings and focusing on education. We have to work on our collective mindset and build some genuine community spirit, rather than just sitting around giving each other the cold shoulder. 😁 Honestly, it would be a lot better if more people actually stepped up to help out with the logistics. If everyone pitched in just a little bit on the organizational side, we wouldn't have the same fifty people constantly getting burned out trying to carry the whole load.

I find myself quite perplexed as to why everyone here is preoccupied with such intense grievances. Surely you are aware of the appropriate channels through which one should address these matters, and this forum certainly isn't one of them...

Tomorrow we’ve got Pula, then on Wednesday it’s KC Drazen Petrovic, and Friday we're hitting Sutinska Vrela. That’s the whole story... anything else is just people talking just to hear themselves speak.

briskpanther said:Alright, let’s all just put our hands up and sing along, hahaha... man, just give up on the whole fan thing already...

Exactly. Everyone loves to talk trash about indoor soccer, it's just great, isn't it? But at the end of the day, our voice and our numbers actually matter where the fight happens—standing against the wall, facing those pathetic criminals and those losers who call themselves fans from Real Madrid. That’s where you need three hundred people, not in a basketball arena like the Boston Celtics where we basically run the show anyway. When we travel all season, it’s the same handful of faces every single time. The guys who scream the loudest at the indoor soccer games? You never see them anywhere else (and I'm not talking about the ones with the bans). Some people in their prime years are "fans" only on this online forum or on Facebook, where you can see what they look like and know for a fact they won't show up anywhere. They just keep talking shit. You don't win battles—let alone wars—from your couch, you little jokers. Let fifty kids carry the entire load on their backs until their spines snap, while your biggest concern is whether there's enough beer at the indoor soccer match. Once the wars are won—and they will be, because we don't know any other way—you'll all be puffing your chests out proudly. But deep down, everyone will know you did absolutely nothing. If you think posting crap on Facebook and forums contributes to the group, then do us all a favor and go jump off a bridge, just like that green extremist Nijaz. Delete this, analogheron19. I know this clashes with how you think, otherwise, this thread wouldn't even exist in the first place. 🙂

Look, as someone who is an actual supporter and part of this community, I just got back from a trip last night, and I don't think a single one of my traveling companions—or rather, my fellow sufferers—would agree with you. Or am I wrong?🤔

The forum stays open because everyone needs a place to vent, even if they just want to make life miserable for everyone else by insisting their way is the only way. Just like the drama surrounding the Bad Boys or Ohm...
It’s also a space for our younger guys—the lions who haven't stepped up yet—to blow off steam and deal with the frustration of growing up. They're starting to realize sooner than most fans how much fake acting and hypocrisy there actually is in this whole supporter scene.
All this constant nagging on forums and social media, demanding respect just because you travel to San Francisco or some Small town, USA, just proves you aren't fully grown yet. Stop looking for a medal for living your life the way you choose. You go to San Francisco and those small towns because you're Bad Boys, not so you can rub it in the faces of those "indoor soccer fans" later.
Serious supporters don't debate things like that. It always comes down to "what the real ones do." To be "real," you need more than just guts and physical toughness; you need a brain. You need that bare minimum of devotion, a bit of humility, and above all, the character to submit to something greater than ourselves—something that was here before us and will be here long after we're gone.

Gary Evans90 said:We’re talking about interest from new kids and people coming to the indoor soccer games, right? People are waiting for them to be taught how things work. There's always this constant complaining about it being the same 50 people over and over—and yeah, that’s true—but it’s also true that none of us have actually made an effort to pull together a solid core of volunteers to help run the show (and I mean organizers, not just the hardcore fan group). Look at the membership for Cleveland Montانية; plenty of people left their contact info, especially emails. How many of those people actually got a follow-up? People expect everything handed to them on a silver platter. They show up as a group, we prep the field, they make a few excuses, and then everyone goes home. You fix stuff like this through meetings and actual education. We need to improve our collective mindset and work on unity, not just so people stop glaring at each other 😁 but so everyone can actually step up and help out, so it isn't always the same 50 people doing all the heavy lifting...


And who exactly is supposed to "educate" the people who are meant to be doing the educating? What does "fan education" even mean? Every active young person out there today basically showed up on their own and grew up alongside some slightly older heads.

Ten years ago, you wouldn't dream of a 25 or 30-year-old even talking shop with a 16-year-old. And fifteen or more years back? Forget it. Back then, you had to put in years of traveling to away games and dealing with the bullshit, the brainwashing, and the hazing just to earn a shred of respect over time.
Now? Suddenly, you're 19 or 20 and you get to be "constructive," acting like an equal and tossing out suggestions like you own the place.
Take the generation that's 28 to 30 now. When they were your age, they were out there doing graffiti, organizing actions, tagging, painting... they had ideas. And they barely had any contact with the "leadership" back then beyond the basics.
Realize that education starts with you. Nobody can turn you into a fan if you don't have it in you and don't love it. No one can teach you what makes a good choreo, a great piece of street art, or a solid chant if you aren't a real fan and haven't lived on the streets. You learn all that shit as you grow up, hanging with the older crowd, through experience, and just maturing within the scene.
The older guys are just there to give a nudge when things stall, same as anyone else who isn't super active. Being a fan isn't some math equation or a set formula...

Honestly, I’m just here to cheer the guys on and try to boost morale. You kids gotta realize—some of us older guys can't physically swing every single away game and every little thing you do. I'm 42 years old—I actually risked my job, my livelihood, and my family's stability just to keep things moving. I've got nothing but respect for the younger crowd, but get this: just because we crushed it at our indoor soccer game and can't make it out to San Francisco doesn't mean we're abandoning the group. Seriously. In my crew, there's only two of us left showing up regularly, even though we used to be a pack of 20. And now suddenly we're the bad guys because we're hooked on indoor soccer and can barely wait for Monday to roll around? I don't think that's fair at all.
