The Armada

Andrew White32 said:The tone of the last few posts has been almost too cheerful—honestly, I’d much rather spend my morning catching up on this forum over a cup of coffee than actually picking up a newspaper. 🤣But if we're talking about the most impactful posts lately, South Kman's really stands out. After seeing that series of photos featuring the Navy before the Eastern standoff, he wrote—and it's the truth—that they actually made it all the way to our section... 😂What can I even say, other than thank God we aren't just a bunch of mindless pack animals? We keep moving forward, eyes on the prize:

I'll take anyone else over a mindless follower.🙏

Man, what do I know...🤷
They're all out there somewhere, acting like animals...☕

Terry Lee3 said:I suppose I couldn't say for sure...🤷
They're all out there somewhere—just a bunch of animals, really...☕

Well, fine then—you're one kind of animal, and we're another. Though, if we're being honest, those big-city types in New York are probably the most satisfied of the lot.😂

Zachary Anderson49 said:Look, we’re all just different kinds of animals in this life. But let's be real—it's always the big-city types in places like New York or Chicago who end up the most satisfied.😂

Who even are you people? Who are we, really? And especially you city types...🤣

Edward Hernandez332 said:A question for the armada (not a provocation): do you see what’s happening at the club? Do you notice who is running this organization and how they lead the team? Why is there zero will to take action against the people destroying us? Do you actually care, or are you only interested in game day topics?
Just asking for information. ☕

Who is to blame? Who is to blame? Only God knows—maybe me, maybe you, or maybe the front office...🙂🙂

🤣🤣😂😂 👍

Andrew White32 said:The last few posts have been a total joke—just endless optimism. Honestly, I’d much rather sit here with my coffee and read this forum than pick up a newspaper. 🤣But one of the most intense things I've read was South Kman's post. After seeing those photos of the armada heading east, he writes, "It's true, you've finally made it to our section..." 😂What can I even say? Thank God we aren't just some mindless crowd. We keep moving forward, eyes on the prize:

Reading through the last two pages is honestly hilarious. Try looking at what's happening right now instead of obsessing over things from 10 or 15 years ago. Since you brought up people storming the field, why didn't you mention the stroll down the boardwalk? You guys used to hold us back, and now you're just running away from everything. And there's something else I won't write out here, but I'll tell you privately, and you'll know exactly what I mean, PLAYSTATION.🙂🙂🙂🙂

Andrew White32 said:Who’s actually at fault here? Honestly—only God knows. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s you, or maybe it’s just the corporate board sitting in their high-rises...🙂 🙂

And frankly, I think I ask far too many questions myself...

Edward Hernandez332 said:I guess I ask too many questions myself, too...

I don't really get the point... things are looking more than fine, aside from that unlucky exit from the tournament (and we've got plenty of other cups to play in anyway)...☕
Like you said, we're heading to Columbus to claim our title...👍 😁 😉

Terry Lee3 said:I honestly don't see the point... things are looking more than fine—aside from that unfortunate exit from the tournament (not that we have enough of those anyway)...☕
Just like you said, we’re heading down to Chicago to claim our title...👍 😁 😉

We’d probably reach some pretty tragic conclusions if we actually set the sarcasm aside for once, wouldn't we?
The main thing is that you guys are the strongest army out there. 👍

Things have been being cooked up behind closed doors for a while now, and honestly, you're making me want to spill the beans, which might blow the whole thing. Just hold tight—you’ll get the word when the time is right. I mean, all hands on deck help, especially since our military presence is looking a little thin this year, but we'll get everything squared away soon enough... It's just San Francisco, it's just the armada...👍

William White8 said:It's hilarious reading these last two pages... try looking at the present instead of obsessing over what happened 10-15 years ago. Since you brought up pitch invasions, why didn't you mention the boardwalk incidents? You guys act tough and then run like rats. I won't list everything here, but you know exactly what I mean. Xbox.🙂🙂🙂🙂

You tell me to focus on the present, yet you missed the link to the recent game report from just a few days ago. You demand we look at the present while you constantly harp on the past—your whole group does this every other comment. Whether it's that old championship game back in the late 80s or those endless forum threads about fan groups from the 80s, everyone circles back to history. But when it comes to your own messy history, suddenly it’s an issue, isn't it? You're being hypocritical. And these aren't even events from 15 years ago; they are much more recent. Here is the timeline:

-Example 1.- the 97/98 season:

These game photos don't capture the whole scene. Usually, after the Navy storms the pitch, a goal happens and the East stands starts shouting provocations again. Nothing from the rival fans, though. After this match, the papers ran a photo of our guys with scarves over their faces, captioned "Masquerade." Some will remember who was behind it..😉👍

Example number three. Third season. Can't recall the exact year, but it falls between those first two examples, somewhere between '98 and '03.

That guy running on the right looks like one of the last two rival supporters on the field. He was detained shortly after that run, fortunately for him. Not exactly a friendly scene, seeing his buddy lying on the ground..😁

After the chaos on the pitch, crowds surged toward the fence separating the North and East stands. They were calling for the rivals to step up, since that's all they want—to fight and burn down half the city and the Navy. Most of the hundreds of people there didn't take the bait. Maybe there was a drug shortage in the stands that day, or maybe they just needed more encouragement, because the conflict stopped there. This was enough.

Are you satisfied or should I keep going? There was more, but as you said, we shouldn't dwell on the past too much. Cheers.👍😍

Come on, give us some more photos, but try not to just repost the same ones 🤣

I was just waiting to see what your first response would be. That’s it. You couldn't come up with anything else...👍

Look, Andrew White32, you’re claiming the Navy showed up in force while saying the rest of us only turned out in small numbers—and then you actually agree with him when he says your crowd made a fool of themselves outside the stadium. But then, right after that, you try to pivot by telling him we shouldn't dwell on the past. Honestly? I’d take our present over the past any day. Don't get me wrong, we have an incredible history, but life moves forward and we have to prove ourselves all over again, day in and day out. We need to reclaim that old glory. That’s exactly what you guys should be doing too, but if you’d just realize how much you obsess over the "good old days," you might actually see it. Hats off to the Navy, though. That's my two cents.

Andrew White32 said:You say we should focus on the present, but you seem to have missed the link to the recent game report from just a few days ago. It’s interesting how you call for us to look at the present while simultaneously dwelling on the past. Honestly, your entire group seems stuck in a loop; every other comment is a callback to history—whether it's that old cup final back in the day or those endless threads discussing supporter movements from the 80s. Every fan group eventually falls back into nostalgia during long discussions, but with your lot, it feels like even a minor mention of the past bothers you, doesn't it? I have to say, I find your stance pretty hypocritical and contradictory. You claim we are talking about things from ten or fifteen years ago, but that isn't the case here; we are talking about much more recent history. So, let's set the record straight. Here is the actual timeline of events:

Example number one: the 97/98 season.

There aren't many photos capturing the full scope of these games. Usually, after some fans storm the field, the Navy shows up, a goal is scored, and then there's that direct provocation aimed at the East stands with those advertisements. Still, we don't see much of the lead-up from the local supporters. In the papers following this match, there was a photo of a few of our guys wearing scarves over their mouths, captioned "Masquerade," with a headline suggesting it was all just a big act. Some people might remember exactly who they were talking about...😉👍

Example number three—honestly, I can't recall the exact year, but if it's the season between those first two examples, we're looking at somewhere between '98 and '03.

The guy sprinting in the photo on the right—I think he’s one of the last two supporters left from the group that stormed the pitch. He was detained shortly after that run, which was probably for the best. By the way, it doesn't look particularly friendly given his buddy is lying on the ground right there...😁

After the chaos on the field, a large crowd moved toward the fence separating the North and East stands. Once again, there was an attempt to goad the supporters into action, as if their only goal was to tear down half the city and clash with the Navy. However, the rest of the several hundred people there didn't take the bait. Maybe there was a lack of certain substances in the stands that day, or perhaps they just needed a little more encouragement, because the conflict didn't escalate further. But even this was more than enough...

Are you satisfied, or should I keep going? There was more, but as you said, let's not dwell too much on the past. Cheers and hugs.👍 😍

Look, kid, I don't know if you're being dense or if you just aren't grasping what's happening here... You keep repeating the same thing! Get serious for a second. Now that you've laid everything out, answer these two questions:
1. THE CORSO INCIDENT???
2. XBOX???

1. THE MAIN STREET INCIDENT???
2. XBOX???

With this post, Andrew White32 was basically saying that these situations have happened on both sides... once to me, once to you, etc., etc.☕

Andrew White32 said:Are you angry or something?😍
Like Terry Lee3 said, I don't see the issue. Nobody is trying to prove anything; everything is already known. It started with one photo, moved on to a few others, just enough to remind people of the old days—stuff they probably won't ever get the chance to see or be part of live again. 😁 No one was inviting you guys to come over and comment; there were just a couple of posts that got retracted, and that's that. I have to say, though, your arrogance and ego are actually even bigger than Madoff's😁 when it comes to various forums. After any mediocre performance by the Navy, people immediately start throwing around labels like "Navy fan disgrace" and then pivot to attacking Torcida and all that crap. In your own post, you mention examples like that, but tell me: can you name on one hand a single group of yours that showed up disorganized at the stadium? There was a scuffle involving our guys, where about 60-70 of yours were detained, and then nothing—just "okay, moving on." Honestly, it’s a good thing you mentioned the local chapters, because without them, Torcida wouldn't have half the reputation it has today. You guys might want to consider changing the name from Torcida - City to Torcida - Local Chapters, since those branches are the ones keeping you alive. And your boys? Over the last year or two, I don't know if it was something they were doing in Vegas or what, but they've shown some pretty questionable athletic abilities, if you're as informed as you claim to be. Regarding our supporter club and that whole mess with people being carried out on stretchers—man, you're dreaming if you think that's reality; you're way off. Though, regarding how one of your members had to eat through a straw for a while after those incidents outside the supporter club... well, hey, he's managed to fix his teeth after a few years, hasn't he?

By the way, during the last City game, about 30 poor souls from the Navy showed up at the stadium while the rest got stuck on the way. How's your local branch holding up? Has the shock worn off? Are the teeth still in place?

Torcida might not be the toughest group in America or even in Europe, but they definitely have something to be proud of and a name worth carrying forward.

Who exactly are you people arguing with?
With the Navy?
What a joke of a group.........
A total embarrassment.

1.THE BOARDWALK INCIDENT???
2.XBOX???

Man, I see what you're getting at, but this bolded part implies there are only two possibilities:

a)- You guys were supposed to play some Xbox on the boardwalk, but our guys didn't show up—or worse, they showed up without any consoles?👎
b)- What kind of game do you even need, or what the hell are you talking about?🤷

Alex Phillips74 said:Who are you guys even fighting with?
The Navy?
Just some random internet groups...
A total joke.

Hey, tough guy!! You’re gonna get banned pretty soon, then you can crawl back to your little hole in peace...👍
