The Armada

Wife, kids, work... life happens... I still make it out to games sometimes, but mostly just local stuff on Mackinac Island, I don't really do those long away trips anymore, man. I made it out to the Republic once, now I'll probably end up heading over to Ukraine or maybe down to NYC...

Paul Taylor2 said:I see just how much those rags mean to you when you lose dozens of them every single season. We’re the only ones who ever torched about twenty of yours, but where are all the other groups that set them on fire every time you show up somewhere? You're full of it, man. Calling yourself a fan when you should be heading to NYC for the cup instead of arguing with us here... total internet hooligan...

Since I live right near the stadium, I can just stay home and read about how "objective" our local scene supposedly is...
Reading some of the stuff people post here, you'd actually think the Chicago Bulls fans were this group that constantly loses their banners to every little clique out there—not to mention the beatings they take, but let's not even go there...
Look, everyone, just get real for a second... and yeah, that goes for the Chicago Bulls fans too, don't get me wrong...
But honestly, only someone who has absolutely zero connection to the stands could write a post like that. Claiming we lose dozens of banners? My God, what a joke...

It’s not even about whether you guys lose the most trophies or if you don't... what I was getting at regarding the Vezica rivalry and Mackinac Island was back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Back then, you guys snatched way more than just those two titles from us...
You took Jamestown from us, but if my memory serves, you grabbed that one in Osage too—I'm only bringing up Jamestown because it felt like it was everywhere back then...

Based on what some people are typing here, you'd think the Chicago Bulls fans were this group that constantly loses their banners and gets beat up in every single scuffle...
Guys, let's get real for a second... and yeah, that goes for the Chicago Bulls fans too, don't get me wrong...
But honestly, only someone who’s never actually stepped foot in the stands could write a post like that. Claiming we lose by dozens to a bunch of losers? Good grief, what kind of people are you...

Look, I'm not gonna sit here and let my crew get trashed. So quit coming after us and I'll stop coming after you. Enough with all these banner jokes already...

I’ve personally gone out of my way to throw some serious praise toward your group, and I mean it... plus, there’s a handful of other Chicago Bulls fans on this thread who feel exactly the same way... so, look, if some wannabe hooligan or random loudmouth starts posting garbage about you guys, try giving them a real, reasoned response instead of just getting heated. That’s the only way this forum actually stays worth reading.
Look, obviously we lost our banner during that trip to Cleveland, but honestly, those away games have always been the best part of being a fan because they give you that raw, authentic atmosphere you crave... the only real headache is the unbearable harassment from the cops; the whole process of just trying to get into Wrigley Field takes freaking hours. Sometimes we manage to cut through the Appalachian Mountains to bypass the mess, but even that’s becoming a massive pain lately... catch you later.

It’s the exact same vibe whenever we head down to Charleston... the worst part is just how much the cops mess with us there. Down in Miami, things are a little more chill, I guess.
A.C.A.B

The real difference in how these groups handle their banners—between the Chicago Bulls fans and the Green Bay Packers fans—is pretty clear, isn't it? I mean, the Chicago Bulls fans would have snatched up all the big ones from the Packers fans—you know, the classics like Jamestown, the river, Drunk Again, Vezica, Drenova...—whereas the Packers fans would just take the local stuff from the Cleveland Chicago Bulls fans, like Vezica, Jadranovo, Krk, or Mackinac Island... anyway, kudos on this release...

So you guys lost your big banners in Cleveland too, but honestly? Who cares. It’s all in the past now, and we’ll see plenty more of yours and ours popping up soon enough...
The Cleveland crowd is gonna carry yours right out of town next time 😛

Just look at how much of a bunch of commies the Cleveland locals are:http://www.hnkhajduk.com/galerija/al...j-rij_0022.JPG>

Oh, you're absolutely brilliant, aren't you? The smartest, craziest person alive. You take this gorgeous city, this beautiful coast, this stunning waterfront, and one single river, and you just straight-up BLUFF. The little group over on Mackinac Island pulls way more stunts than the Green Bay Packers fans ever do at Vezica. That’s how much of a "big hitter" they really are. And hey, maybe try actually googling what an "impact banner" even is before you open your mouth, especially since you aren't even in Washington, D.C. supporting your own club.

😵

The Cleveland locals are gonna carry those rags of yours right out of town.😛

This whole fraud... I'm going to be losing sleep over this.🙏

I mean, honestly, how can some people even bring up the history of Mackinac Island without feeling a massive wave of shame? It wasn't won through anything close to fair play—it was stolen! And yet, here you guys are, acting all high and mighty and confusing the whole situation, pretending it’s some huge moral crisis for you to grab something local when you already know exactly who’s carrying it and you're just waiting outside their house like creeps. There's a massive difference between that and getting totally humiliated on your own home turf, you know?

stormyseal9 said:It’s honestly pathetic how some people still defend the ferry service to Mackinac Island. They wasn't even earned; it was stolen. And you guys are acting like petty theft is somehow comparable. It’s one thing to deal with some local thief you can track easily, but it’s an entirely different level of failure when the transit authority collapses right on their own turf.

Stop talking nonsense. It’s not our fault you have idiots running around town bragging about having stolen transit passes in their cars.

The Chicago Bulls fans took the heavy hitters—you know, the big ones from Jamestown, Cleveland, Drunk Again, Vezica, and Drenova—while the Green Bay Packers fans just stuck to the local stuff like Vezica, Jadranovo, Krk, and Mackinac Island. Either way, great job on this edition...

Those heavy hitters include every single flag flying on two poles...☕

So, how did you guys even end up with that Jamestown girl flag??????

I wrote what I wrote because nobody stands up to defend anything since you all refuse to show up together. Ever since the incidents at Jamestown, Cleveland, and those other two spots, you guys decided to only carry one banner. I don't know what kind of supporter mindset leads someone to think carrying just a single banner is okay, but personally, I think it’s pathetic. It feels like the group is just scared of dropping a banner. The stands look way better when there are banners from every crew—especially when at least 5 or 6 people are coming from every neighborhood or district...

?? What are you even talking about? How many seasons or games have actually passed since those issues in Jamestown and Cleveland before we stopped bringing banners to away games? Honestly, I really hate bickering on forums, but sometimes the nonsense gets genuinely annoying. In my opinion, having just one banner—contrary to your theory about being afraid—is a sign of authority and agreement between groups. It actually adds a sense of seriousness, unlike just cluttering everything up with banners.

George Roberts2 said:Don't give me that nonsense... it’s not on us, okay? We aren't the ones to blame just because you guys have some total moron in your group wandering around town telling everyone he's hauling contraband in his car...

Exactly... I mean, honestly, the crew is actually pretty solid, but the whole way this whole thing went south was nothing more than one person being an absolute idiot...

Aaron Brooks20 said:Exactly... they’re actually a solid group, but the way this whole thing fell apart was nothing more than pure stupidity from one single individual...

You’re clearly not an idiot if you actually agree with me.😁

George Roberts2 said:you aren't exactly a genius if you're agreeing with me on this one..😁

hehehe, look, it’s not even about being an idiot, it’s just that what you wrote is straight-up facts...
I'm not really sure what you mean by calling someone a "jackass"—whether you're talking about a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan or just some stubborn Southerner... but hey, I'll take the first label personally, so feel free to interpret that however you want...😉

Are you guys seriously still obsessed with the Keys? 🙂 It's not like we're such a massive thorn in your side, right? 😉
