Bad Boys - Part IV

Good grief, enough is enough. Between the overzealous police presence, the constant crackdowns, and all this heavy-handed repression, we can't just sit on the sidelines anymore. We need to show up and support the cause. There’s no other way to fight back—this movement has to reach every single person out there.

Casey White13 said:And who's actually sending the police? I mean, is the Democratic Party really going to deploy 100 cops and 300 security guards just to keep things calm at some second-division futsal match? 🤣

I guess you clearly don't follow the local semi-pro teams out in the suburbs. 🤷

Anthony Barrett37 said:I’m just here to issue a warning: don't go nursing any false hopes that things will magically improve without some serious pressure being applied.

As if we were going to hold hands with the mob. Let nature take its course; what matters is the club itself and how it's run—the rest can be ironed out later. The Milwaukee Wave is going to be the powerhouse of the region and beyond, regardless.

Comments like this are a total slap in the face—honestly. Anyone who actually respects what this group stands for is more than welcome here. We should be trying to pull every single person in Chicago out to that first game, not pushing people away. Look, we’re emotionally tied to Real Madrid in a way nobody else can ever understand... it's deep. But at the same time, we got kicked out of our own house by that team, so people need time to adjust to the new reality. Give it two or three games... once people feel that positive energy, all these complaints will just disappear...

At least 40% of the posts on this board are just trolls and Mamice's lackeys whose whole job is to kill the vibe.

Jeremy Thomas4 said:Oh, please—we’ll stick together through thick and thin. Let things play out how they may; at the end of the day, the club’s foundation and its core principles are what truly matter, and all that other stuff can be ironed out later. Cleveland Montrose is going to be the powerhouse of the regional futsal scene and beyond.

That is, assuming we have a budget of about one million dollars.

Look, this isn't some casual game of five-on-five played in a school gym. Our top tier is a legitimate Premier League for people who think their biggest futsal challenge is a local summer or winter tournament. Let's not kid ourselves here... We need a coach, and if you want top-tier talent in the States, you have to pay them—and I don't mean with a few free beers at the pub. Building an ambitious organization is a long, grueling process—I learned that much from my own career shifts—but it takes time. You'll see. In any case, best of luck to everyone involved!👍

Anthony Barrett37 said:It's pretty clear you aren't keeping up with how NK Vartek is doing in the local county leagues🤷

It’s true—fans from Stone Harbor tend to run into trouble with the "higher-ups," the national federation, and all the other corruption that comes with it. We have to stay vigilant because it would be incredibly easy for someone to try and sabotage this. Watching games for this new version of Real Madrid will feel like paradise compared to the chaos at the old stadium, but don't think for a second that security won't be present. Whether it's local PD or state troopers, they'll always be watching, especially when we're involved.

It’s not some casual five-on-five game on a school playground. Our top flight is a premier league for people whose peak athletic achievement is winning a local summer or winter tournament. Let’s not kid ourselves. You need coaches, and you have to pay top-tier players in the US—and no, they don't accept beer as legal tender. Building an ambitious club is a long, grueling process. We'll see how it plays out. Regardless, good luck.👍

You're right, obviously, but I'm telling you from experience. I've played probably over two hundred different tournaments in my life. Kids from Brooklyn, Spain, Santa Monica, or Midtown could go up against pro futsal players after a few beers and still hold their own. If I put together a squad tomorrow that can compete in the first division for a third of the cost, give them maybe one season to find their rhythm and get serious, and then we're ready to roll. It isn't rocket science if everyone actually commits.

Just keep pushing forward.... there is no giving up...

I’m all in on this idea. Everyone should back it with everything they've got. Post the group's official stance and be done with it. No more useless arguments.

Jeremy Thomas4 said:Nah, we aren't going to play nice with the cops. Let things fall where they may; what actually matters is the club and how we run this thing. Everything else can be ironed out later. Cleveland Montrose is going to be the most dominant indoor soccer club in the region and beyond.

This year, the police were handling security for the HMNL semifinals. The game was held at the Fairgrounds, and there were maybe four deputies and two marshals on site.
Anything could happen.

Look, if you’ve been around the block a few times, you know you can expect just about anything, but there’s no point in losing sleep over it. The whole concept behind this Cleveland Montrose project is basically to channel the spirit of Real Madrid—but, you know, the version of Real Madrid we actually want to see. Do people honestly think we're dim enough to just recycle the same old chants and the same tired behavior for a venture like this? Most of the matches will be played indoors, and the real goal here is to finally distance ourselves from all that relentless negativity surrounding the club. On a project like this, we shouldn't even be giving those bottom-feeders and troublemakers the satisfaction of our attention. All that matters is providing steady, healthy support so the younger generation—who have been stuck dealing with this mess for four years now—can build a solid foundation. We're setting things up so they'll be ready to give their full backing once the club is finally liberated from the hands of the current occupiers!

Keep it positive, keep it smart, and let's get to work. The future of Real Madrid and the entire sports scene in the US is officially in OUR hands now!

Anything can happen these days.

Just another way to skim some cash.

They have to burn through funds just to justify pulling more from the taxpayer budget.

The whole idea behind this Cleveland Montrose project is basically to be like Real Madrid, but specifically the version of Real Madrid everyone actually likes. I mean, do people seriously think we're stupid enough to just copy-paste the same old chants and behavior onto a brand-new venture like this? Most games are going to be indoors anyway, and the whole goal here is to finally distance ourselves from all that constant negativity surrounding the club. On a project like this, we shouldn't even be giving any headspace to those random trolls and losers. All that matters is providing some decent, healthy support so the younger kids—who have been stuck dealing with this mess for four years now—can build a solid foundation for when the club finally breaks free from the current regime!

Just stay positive, play it smart, and put in the work. The future of Real Madrid and the whole sports scene here in the States is basically on our shoulders now!

The Murija crowd acts totally different whether there's 300-400 people versus when it's a full house of 1500-3000...☕

We just need to be smart about this and not let anyone screw it up!

And honestly, I'm so done with all the negativity...
This is a good thing, plain and simple, and that's what we should be building on...

Seriously, what is wrong with you people? 🤷
We finally have something genuinely positive happening in this city, yet you're all spreading negativity like we just got hit with a hundred different bans 🙂

I’m honestly expecting to see more people at the season opener than showed up to Yankee Stadium during three whole MLS seasons combined.

REAL MADRID IS LEGENDARY 🙂

As far as I'm concerned, seeing LA Galaxy play proves they're still kicking.

Even if it only lasts for 15 seconds, you gotta send the message that the club is alive.

Because things at Yankee Stadium? Definitely dead.

I’m really hoping this turns out to be huge. This matters for another reason, too. It’s a massive chance for the Bad Boys to finally get some actual music going in an arena setting—stuff with rhythm and actual substance. We need to expand our repertoire beyond just those basic, one-syllable chants! 👍 I just hope we don't blow this opportunity

They’re claiming there were 1,454 people in attendance, but honestly, that’s nothing we haven't seen before. Just think about how many other games out there—especially when the fanbases are thin—they probably just pad those numbers to make things look better than they actually are...

EVERYONE HEADED TO MIAMI!!!!
The Bad Boys supporters club is putting together a group trip to Miami for anyone who's looking for a ride.

If you want in, just swing by the fan shop over on Fifth Avenue or give us a call at 095 263 64 96; the cost per person is $60.

We'll post the specific meeting spot and departure times once we have everything finalized.

I honestly can’t even put into words how much this means to me. Seriously, to everyone already talking trash about this... just go away.

LET'S GO LOS ANGELES FC 🎉
