You should probably get in touch with Vesna Teršelić. Word on the street is she carries some serious weight with Ivo Josipović, and since we’re heading straight into election season, she might just start pulling some strings against The Head

Haha. You’ve got to be kidding me.

I suppose you should have headed East instead. They would've let you through there. Apparently, they've got a new project starting up in the North, so it turns out you're just getting in their way.

Right now, we really need to show some solidarity with those who have been banned. It feels a bit hypocritical to just stroll into the stands when so many of our brothers from cities like St. Louis, who traveled here with the noble goal of putting an end to this administration’s tyranny and honoring the guys who took hits for the cause, are stuck outside or watching from their living rooms. I completely agree that we need to take this to the legal authorities, but since getting that kind of organizational momentum going takes actual time and effort, I think we should handle this match as a show of solidarity by gathering right outside the stadium with clear messages and a firm stance.

If the police can't manage to clear the area around the stadium so people can actually move... well, they'll figure it out eventually... or they won't. You decide.

It feels pretty hypocritical to just stroll into the stands when so many of our brothers from St. Louis—guys who came out here with nothing but good intentions to stand up against this administration's tyranny—are stuck at home or watching from their living rooms because of those kids who got shot. I’m all for taking this to the legal authorities, but since organizing a massive legal fight takes serious time and effort, we should handle this match by showing up outside the stadium. We need to make sure our message is loud, clear, and unmistakable.

And who else is there to save if the people who actually want to be in the stands stay home?
The whole point of these jerks is to push us out of the North Stand, and we need to shut them down.

I don't claim to be some genius, not after everything... our institutions are basically useless at this point. You've got guys running free who shouldn't be, Mamić walking around like he owns the place, and even though they finally grabbed Bandit, it feels way too little, too late..

Maybe we actually need to start pooling some cash and taking this mess to the international courts. This whole country is just a total disaster right now.

To begin with, let us all attempt to temper our passions somewhat. Real Madrid is not going to collapse, nor will the Bad Boys be disbanded. The issue here isn't merely Jerry Jones himself; rather, the true problem lies within the societal fabric and the general climate that breeds individuals of his particular temperament. It is much like weeds in a garden—if you do not pull them up early, they spread uncontrollably, making them nearly impossible to eradicate later on. Since the Sheriff maintains connections within every major structure in the USA, one feels quite powerless. Attempting to take action through the media or even the courts feels like a Sisyphus task. He watched everything unfold—the petition drives, the founding of Indoor Soccer, the protests out West—yet none of it seemed to touch him. However, the moment you announce an intention to broadcast this situation further afield, into Europe, well, that is precisely where his Achilles' heel lies. He immediately issued a ban preventing entry to the stadium. His justification was flimsy, though unfortunately, it proved sufficient for the current American landscape. Shouting things like "Mamić the Gypsy" achieves absolutely nothing; he simply pivots immediately to accusations of intolerance. Instead, one must strike at his vulnerabilities. Do you recall how he reacted when a reporter questioned the business dealings of his agency and his son? (The way he couldn't even face the music... a curse from Christmas 2010). When people showed up at his doorstep and subsequently labeled Real Madrid a criminal organization, he responded instantly. Now that you have declared you are coming to a European match, he has reacted once again. That is his weak point. And rest assured, ever since his "blood brother"
(read Buddy Cianci) has been under investigation for theft, he isn't feeling quite as secure as he once did. We need to target the outer circles, where his influence is thinner and where he lacks the support of his hired help. The chair he sits upon is wobbly—quite wobbly, actually—and it needs to be finished off with one decisive, intelligent maneuver. If people truly intended to help, they would assemble, fill the east, west, and north stands, and make it known to all of Europe what the reality is within Real Madrid. At this stage, one must be aggressive yet wise, knowing exactly where to aim. We must exert constant pressure on all fronts, especially external factors; organizing another protest, provided it is well-conceived, wouldn't be a bad move. I suspect Mukt has something in mind, given that they remarked on how desperately poor the reasoning behind the ban was. In any case, these moves by the old man are the desperate actions of a wounded beast that knows its end is near and seeks to deliver one last bite. Soon enough, we shall return to a healthy atmosphere within the club—local boys in the squad, a packed stadium, socializing, and cheering. Even if they were playing in the 4th tier of the MLS, we would still show up, provided we aren't playing alongside those whom Real Madrid merely uses as tools for theft.

Warm regards from the fans in the East 🙂

The whole point of those scumbags is to clear us out of the North Stand, and frankly, they need to be taken down a notch.

Look, I respect where you're coming from, I really do, but have you considered the fallout? These folks planning to storm the North Stand will likely end up on some permanent blacklist once the dust settles. It seems like the administration found a way to exert control because they’ve lost their grip and are basically on their deathbed, but it raises a question: should we, as the vocal opposition, just blindly swim into their net just for the sake of being stubborn or starting a fight? In my opinion, there are much more intelligent ways to show our defiance without walking straight into a trap...

Gotta wait and see what the big shots in leadership have to say, then act accordingly.

That's the only move left. I'll head down to the Ticketmaster outlet tomorrow to see if they actually tell me I'm banned. Regardless, everyone meets at Ružma on Thursday at 5:30, unless something else breaks.

These guys found a way to operate because they have no real power left and they're circling the drain, but the real question is whether we, as the vocal opposition, should basically be swimming straight into their nets just for the sake of being stubborn or rebellious. I think there are much smarter ways to show defiance than that...

I did. That’s exactly why I’m saying nobody has anything left to lose.
What are we supposed to save ourselves for? A game against the Celtics? Maybe an away trip to see the Heat?
If we have to drag in hundreds of new people for every single match, eventually that list hits thousands of names. And then, someone is finally going to ask what the hell is actually happening. How is it possible for thousands of citizens to be on some private blacklist? What kind of tragic, criminal situation exists where thousands of people are essentially being outlawed?
Out of those thousands, maybe one guy will actually have the balls to tear through every legal loophole to find grounds to sue these scumbags. Maybe one of them will decide he won't let himself get screwed over for no reason. Maybe one of those thousands is the son of some big-shot executive who will finally realize this isn't just about a few hundred Bad Boys thugs—it's about all of us if we don't shut this down now. Who knows? Maybe one of those thousands is the kid of some tough guy who isn't going to let some low-life bully mess with his family.
All those people who got banned for the game against the Houston Astros, plus everyone of us who's been blacklisted for a while—we've all been fighting for nothing if we just let this stupid decision sideline us...
Our sacrifice only matters if someone picks up the torch right where we're standing.
So much for solidarity. I've been dealing with this bullshit for three and a half years; I'm on the blacklists for the North Stand and everywhere else. Anyone who gives up the fight just to "stay safe" alongside me and the rest of us is a coward.
Now more than ever, we need to talk to everyone who knows you and tell them to get to the damn North Stand. Go to that damn North Stand and make some noise against these pieces of trash. Even if someone can't make it to the game themselves, they surely have a friend or two they can convince to spend two damn hours at the stadium, even if it's the first and last time they ever go!

Edward Mendoza70 said:If I’ve managed to wrap my head around this correctly, it looks like they’ve gone ahead and added that group of guys to the list based on what they're calling... well, you know. Collective responsibility is such an interesting concept when you really start digging into it. It’s one of those things that sounds simple on paper—everyone carries the weight together—but once you apply it to real life, things get messy fast. You see it everywhere, from how we handle corporate scandals to how entire cities react to local politics. There's this idea that if a group fails, everyone in that group should feel the sting, regardless of their individual role. It’s a heavy way to live, honestly. On one hand, it builds a sense of unity; it forces people to look out for one another because if one person slips up, the whole squad pays the price. But on the other hand, it can feel incredibly unfair to hold someone accountable for something they had zero control over. It’s like being blamed for a teammate's mistake just because you're wearing the same jersey. I've always felt that while collective accountability is great for building culture, true justice usually requires looking at the individuals involved. We can't just paint everyone with the same brush and call it even. It's a delicate balance between holding a community to a high standard and making sure the innocent don't get caught in the crossfire.Honestly, you just can't find that anywhere anymore.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. If you were trying to start a conversation or ask something specific, feel free to lay it out for me. I'm around. kaže:
The real question here is whether Real Madrid actually holds hard evidence against every single fan they’ve banned, or if these decisions are just being handed out based on nothing more than a hunch. Collective guilt is such a messy concept to wrap your head around. It’s one of those things that people love to throw around when they want to make a quick point, but once you actually sit down and pick it apart, it gets incredibly complicated. You see it all the time in sports or politics—where one person messes up, and suddenly everyone associated with them is being dragged through the mud. It feels inherently unfair, doesn't it? To be held responsible for something you didn't personally do, just because you happen to be standing in the same room or wearing the same jersey. I’ve always felt that judging an entire group based on the actions of a few is a slippery slope. It shuts down actual conversation and just turns everything into a shouting match. Instead of looking at what actually happened and who was truly at fault, people just go for the easiest target: the crowd. It’s lazy, honestly. If we want to get anywhere as a society, we have to move past that "guilt by association" mindset and start looking at individual accountability. That’s the only way things actually get fixed. When it comes to actually showing up at the stadium and being part of the crowd.

You can't really talk about collective "guilt" if there isn't any actual guilt to begin with. It just doesn't work that way.

This is a textbook case of verbal misconduct—the kind of stuff that really shouldn't be tolerated in any serious democracy.

I really want to believe this whole decision is unsustainable and that the whole thing collapses soon—maybe even before Thursday's game.

How much longer is this nightmare gonna drag on? Seriously, everything happening up there feels more like North Korea than the US—what’s the next move, opening up a prison camp or something?

That really made some noise... I actually just saw the segment on the local news during the evening broadcast.

Public debate shouldn't be silenced for any reason.

Hey everyone, quick question... what happened with Shagud? Has he completely stepped away from the supporter scene or what? thanks

Brilliant idea right there.
You're absolutely right.
The Earth is just a flat plate being carried by four elephants, all standing on the back of a giant turtle.

But seriously.
This was the only way for that nationalist hack to push the Bad Boys out of the North. If he deals with us up here, his whole shady little scheme with the traitors sinks straight to the bottom. Plus, he can't just copy-paste what he did out East because that would basically be an admission that he's pulling the strings for those gunmen.
That's why Real Madrid fans have to switch up the playbook.

I agree that hitting the ministry buildings and politicians' houses with protests is a solid move. Honestly, camping out in tents at those spots for a few nights wouldn't be a bad idea either. We need to apply pressure from every angle possible; you can't just show up with a "what's in it for us" attitude.
Every protest, every banner on an overpass, every message spray-painted on a wall, and every chant at the stadium is one small but vital step toward getting Real Madrid back.
We can't get tired, and we sure as hell can't start whining or sinking into apathy.

I honestly feel like it’s a civic duty for every single Real Madrid fan to make sure they end up on that blacklist... It would be a powerful way to show exactly how many of us there really are.

As for what's happening over at Ružma, I’ve got a strong hunch we’re going to see SWAT teams stationed at every single entrance leading up to the park, checking IDs and running everyone through.

Now, we just sit here and wait for the front office to make their move...
