The Armada

darkjackal6 said:you've gotta be kidding me... 🤣🤣 🤣are the Demons really the third biggest fan group in the country?? hahaha .. are you thinking of those Demons who got wrecked in the last blowout?? seriously? any group that loses a blowout like that basically ceases to exist.. besides that, which team do the Demons even cheer for? I can never tell, they seem to switch up every other week..
man, today's issue was a great read, I'll give you that, but you guys still have a long way to go before you can claim to be the sixth most prominent group in the nation.. take care.. haha

Did the Demons run you guys out again?😁😍

There he goes. You aren't even part of the top three in Rijeka anymore. What's the plan now? Did those Demons finally catch up to you during the final round photo finish just to snatch the bronze medal?😂

Jose Vaughn3 said:So, there you have it—you aren't the top three in America anymore. What's the plan now? Those demons caught up to you in the final stretch of the season and snatched that bronze medal right out from under you.😂

Listen and watch. If you get along fine with the New Yorkers, and they get along fine with the folks from Chicago, that doesn't mean you have to be buddies with them too. I mean, honestly, being an open suck-up just isn't right.😁

Let’s not get into the business of public bootlicking 👍

Nobody ever warned me that the Demon 3 Group was operating right here in America.... what went down today was absolutely brutal.... the photos are gonna speak for themselves...

Honestly, nobody needs to be bringing up rankings or talking about who came in first, second, or third. That’s just nonsense... and for the guys from Demon 3 Group posting here, it would be great if you could just chill out on that stuff. There aren't any hierarchies or "ranks" here. It's obvious to all of us that we all need to focus on making the whole scene stronger. Every single group should start by working on themselves first—that's where the real results will show up—but we don't need these kinds of comments. Man, the Armada from Demon has already taken a few major hits lately, and those are the people who need to be worrying about that. As for us? We just need to figure out how to be way better than we already are. There's always room to grow.

Heh...
Room for improvement..
Next time we’re dropping five grand on this...

Anyway, I'll be posting photos later today or tomorrow, so the crew can judge our look for themselves.
That’ll officially wrap up our season.
We’re going at it again next season, and let the haters keep barking—we aren't stopping!

I wish there was actually someone around to deal with, but since there isn't a single soul left from the old crowd in Rijeka, we're just stuck here bickering among ourselves like civilized people.

The Armada in Rijeka—Mali and Kirci were snatched when someone broke into the room and robbed them ten years ago. A BREAK-IN and a THEFT!! In my opinion, the police should have been called immediately to prosecute them. This isn't about being a fan; it’s straight-up criminal activity. A lot was taken back then, and while most of it was returned after a phone call, clearly not everything was. Pićan is just some small town in the countryside. That crew isn't anything special, so that whole transaction doesn't mean much to me, but a stolen item is a stolen item, and it was taken in a way that wasn't exactly "legit." Brajda, huh? Hm?!?!?

So, what, you think we’re going to sue you over some labor dispute? Is that really how this works?

darkjackal6 said:You have to be kidding me... 🤣 🤣 🤣Are the Demons actually the third largest supporters group in the country?? Hahaha... Are you talking about those Demons who lost their banner during the charge?? If they are, then they're a group that basically ceases to exist the moment they lose a banner. Besides, which club do the Demons even support? I can never tell, they seem to change every single time.
Man, today was a great edition, I'll give you that, but you guys still have a long way to go before you can claim to be convincingly the sixth biggest group in the nation. Have a nice day.. haha

GET BENT!
The fact is, you're just jealous. It’s foolish to try and rank specific groups in any kind of order, but what you just said is complete nonsense.
What written rule states that a group should disband just because they lose a banner? Those are nothing but lies spread by losers similar to yourself. Since you're supposedly so powerful and organized, why bother showing up at all? You got shut down this time, didn't you?
Hide your faces, because we dominated you both at home and on the road.

To my neighbors in Istanbul, I send my regards, though as
a young crowd that once thought they could actually take down the Armada,
your performance yesterday was nothing short of amateurish—mostly due to your blatant failure to respect the opposition.
It isn’t that you aren't capable
or inferior to any other group; rather, you've demonstrated just how warped
your understanding of fan culture truly is.
For those waiting for the details, since everyone is so eager, in the 60th minute, you
hoisted four flags, only one of which featured "Pićan"—a banner that was confiscated
by security, though its actual significance is hardly worth mentioning.
I find it curious that you kept them tucked away in the "bunker" for so long.
And if the score ended up 4:0, so be it.

Besides, there was really no need for us to wait for you, nor for us to encounter you again...

I almost find myself agreeing with you...

The truth is, you’re just jealous as hell. It's stupid to try and rank different groups like that, but what you said is just pure nonsense.
What kind of rulebook says a group has to fold just because a banner falls? That's just some fairy tale cooked up by losers who think just like you. If you guys are supposedly so powerful, why bother organizing an arrival at all? Looks like you lost your nerve this time, didn't you?
Go hide your faces in shame, because we crushed you both at home and on the road.

I don't know who actually showed up organized, us or you... you guys rolled into Rijeka on three buses without a single private vehicle in sight, while we pulled up in one half-full bus along with two vans and about twenty cars. I don't get why you people care so much about this forum garbage... go ahead and be ashamed, honestly, if you're going to lie like that. You can keep your "victories" for the message boards.

A significant amount was taken back then, and while most of it was returned after a single phone call, clearly not everything was. Pićan is just some tiny village in Istria. The group isn't anything special, so that banner doesn't hold much weight for me, but a banner is a banner, and it was taken through "legitimate" means. Brajda, huh? Give me a break.

Welcome to the club of the "lost"!!
Please, do enlighten those who haven't experienced the sensation of losing a small percussion banner!!
Are you planning to shut the group down entirely? Or will you continue to carry nothing but the large percussion banner?

A little something for today's modern fans.

How can you even talk about an unorganized arrival? We could walk right into town without any real trouble because the cops didn't even start shutting down the entrances until around 1 PM! Yeah, we rolled into Rijeka in four buses—I don't have anything left to prove to you people. You want to know what a disorganized arrival actually looks like? It’s when 30 Demons from the Demon 3 Group march all the way from downtown to Crimea WITHOUT police escort, and the riot squad only catches up to us right in front of the stadium. And where was the Great Armada? Maybe they were too busy splashing around in the ocean to actually defend the city! For those who weren't there, this was just a friendly match between ORIJEN and Istria B!
Regarding the banners, everyone knows the little Armada guys and the flag went down, but that’s talking about the old generation.
The Pićan action 31 miles from Pula, and as for that fourth banner, only the ones who dropped it actually know...
Don't you worry, there are plenty more where those came from...
You guys need to realize that the relationship between the Demons and the Armada isn't what it used to be; a lot of things have changed, and I think that's obvious to everyone.
Go ahead, call us now and ask us to bring the banners back, 😍

Seriously, please explain to those who don't know what it feels like to lose a minor strike trans effect!!
Are you guys planning to shut down the group? Or will you just keep wearing the big strike insignia exclusively?

If they were going to shut it down themselves... honestly, I can't believe you'd have the nerve to take bread right out of the fans' mouths. That's their business. Right now, they're too busy debating whether to dissolve the functionaries before moving on to everyone else, including the Armada.

For those who weren't even there, this was just a friendly match between Orlando City and the LA Galaxy.
When it comes to those banners, both the little Armada guys and the flag holders completely blew it, and everyone knows it. It’s an embarrassment. But honestly, that was on the previous generation, and personally, I don't see any value in those banners anymore.
The Pićan operation. 31 miles From Pula to the rest of the country, only the people who actually lost their shirts know anything about that fourth transparent.
Don't worry, there are plenty more where those came from...
You have to realize that the relationship between the Demon and the Armada isn't what it used to be. Things have changed significantly, and I think that much is obvious to everyone.
Give us the call now so we can bring the banners back. 😍

Congrats on yesterday's showing; you guys killed it. The choreography felt a bit like that time we faced off against the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, but overall, it was good. That spontaneous energy during the last 20 minutes was beautiful—no forcing required. We had one bus and about 150 cars and vans rolling in, and the chanting was solid. Kudos to you guys on the banners, too (though I’m not going to get into how they went up; I have no interest in bickering on a forum). As for your arrival in town, what exactly were you expecting? It’s not like the Lakers announced you were coming, and you can't just organize a massive takeover in ten minutes. Boldano—stop talking nonsense.😉

I honestly think we need to talk more about how much people rely on scripted perfection these days. It’s everywhere. You see it in movies, you see it in corporate presentations, even in how people talk at dinner parties. Everyone is just following a mental teleprompter, trying so hard not to trip over their own words. It feels heavy, you know? Like everyone is carrying this invisible script around, terrified of a little spontaneity. I remember this one time I was at a small coffee shop in Seattle—just a tiny place, nothing fancy—and there was this local jazz trio playing. They weren't even looking at sheet music. One guy just started hitting these weird, beautiful chords, and instead of panicking because it wasn't "planned," the drummer just leaned into it. He followed the vibe. That’s what's missing from most modern life. We’ve become so afraid of the messiness of a real moment that we’ve traded soul for structure. I really believe there's more truth in the mistakes than in the rehearsed lines. kaže:
Congrats on how yesterday turned out! You guys killed it. To be honest, the choreography felt a little bit like that time you went up against the Lakers at Crypto.com Arena, but it was fine. That spontaneous energy during the last 20 minutes? So beautiful. It didn't feel forced at all. We had one bus and about 150 cars and vans rolling in, and the chanting was pretty solid too. Also, props to you guys for the banners. I’m not going to get into the whole "how they were hung" debate—I really don't have the energy to argue about it on a forum. As for you heading into the city... I don't know what you're expecting. It's not like the local team gave us a heads-up that you were coming, and you can't exactly organize a massive takeover in ten minutes. Zachary Morris9, stop talking nonsense.😉

Kudos to Improvisator for being the only one here actually keeping it real. Zachary9, you mentioned the choreography might have looked like yours, but honestly? I haven't given a single thought to your routine, and nobody else did while we were putting ours together either. Look, flags are just flags. There’s nothing to "copy" there. If we’re being honest, a million different groups have pulled that exact same move long before both our teams even showed up. And those scraps of fabric? That’s a win for us, period. It’s not a negative. If pieces of your gear ended up in our hands, that’s on you guys. You should be more worried about how your stuff keeps drifting over to our side!
