Bad Boys - Part IV

Don't forget that right after we hit Madison Square Garden, we’ve got an away game in Miami this Sunday!

EVERYONE TO MIAMI!!!!

The Bad Boys supporters club is putting together a trip to Miami for anyone who needs a ride.

You can sign up at the fan shop over on Fifth Avenue or just 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 everything is finalized.

Is this tone meant to be a joke?
The new TV station
:fejspalm:

I mean, is there even much point in talking about this idea for a Major League Soccer club?
Honestly, it’s such a positive concept—and if anyone wants to be a total killjoy about it, they can just go jump in a lake or something.
We're all heading to Madison Square Garden, obviously!!!

I don't see any harm in using Los Angeles MAS as a training ground for building up the group. Honestly, that whole Coca-Cola era back in the mid-nineties actually did wonders for the Bad Boys, and in this specific case, having the club's internal structure aligned with what we want for Real Madrid is just a massive bonus—think of it as an extra practice session on a completely different field.

There shouldn't be a massive police presence unless people start looking for unnecessary trouble. It’s not like we're the Bad Boys standing right under The Godfather's nose, waiting for him to crack down on us via heavy-handed repression at a small soccer match. I don't recall Ronald Reagan making a huge deal out of the Bad Boys during the Coca-Cola situation either; the crackdown was always focused on Yankee Stadium or when we were away at other cities. The only risk is if some low-level brand manager messes up; that little guy could end up getting himself shoved deep into the boss's backside if he starts acting up. But let's not start painting doomsday scenarios before the story has even begun.
Will they set aside a special spot for The Rock to list out the songs and their "creative" interpretations? 😁

I don't really get why some people take this forum so seriously. For me, I treat it kind of like walking into a new dive bar in a random part of town after a few drinks—I try not to blurt out anything too stupid, staying a bit cautious because, well, you never know when things might get heated with the locals in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Most of those drunken ramblings fade from memory after five minutes, though you can still stumble upon someone who actually says something surprisingly smart.
Because of all that, I don't think this forum can do much damage to the group. We should probably remember that golden rule of marketing: there’s no such thing as bad publicity, just engagement. Everything counts as promotion, especially if you're trying to launch a new product or a specific narrative while dealing with a pretty tough media landscape.
So, honestly, don't sweat these forums too much. We just need to give our good people a heads-up if they mess up and post something wrong—kind of like the time I slipped up on a different forum once. That’s really it; just move on.
Anyway, I wanted to send a quick shout-out to my fellow forum member @marginalca from the '50s.
Just saying it's actually a pleasure to read some of his posts every now and then. It's a lot like what I was saying earlier about those late nights in a strange neighborhood—sometimes you hear something genuinely interesting when you least expect it.
c'est la vie,
they used to tell me that all the time back in that prison near Paris, Fleury-Mérogis. Back when I got handed a sentence because of a game.

EVERYONE TO MIAMI!!!!

The Real Madrid Bad Boys supporters club is organizing a trip to Miami for anyone who doesn't have their own ride.

You can sign up at the fan shop over on Fifth Avenue or just call 555-0199; the cost for the trip is $60.

Details regarding the exact meeting spot and departure time will be posted later on.

I guess you have to wonder if there’s any way to just sign up once you actually get on the bus? Things are a little tight with cash right now, so I suppose the real question is whether enough people will actually show up...

silentjackal59 said:Is there any way to just pay when I hop on the bus? Cash is a bit tight right now, and I'm wondering if we'll even have enough people to make the trip happen...

Just give that number a call and ask 😉. There are still some seats left, but you really ought to get your name on the list sooner rather than later—the trip is going to be $60!!!

EVERYONE TO MIAMI!!!!! UNTIL THE VERY LAST MAN STANDS!!

Just standing there by the bus stop acting like you can't hear a word being said... honestly, these new generations have zero common sense 😁

Honestly, from what I've seen, when you guys finally commit to going after those Bad Boys, you usually try to throw everything you've got at Milan with everything you've got—like, really go all out. I’m pretty sure you’d cook up something that might actually bring the corrupt guy down by now. But, I don't know, maybe there just aren't enough of you left to pull off something like that. Who knows.

Honestly, even if we had 5,000 die-hard fans showing up to every single match, it wouldn't change a damn thing. That guy wouldn't budge because even when the stands were packed, nothing ever actually happened. As long as he’s got political heavyweights and media outlets in his pocket, he can sleep like a baby. That’s just how things work in this country—if you’ve got political backing, you can basically do whatever you want and screw everyone else over. The only way to fight back is through criminal charges and catching a long stretch in federal prison, but frankly, this loser isn't worth ruining your life for. It's definitely not worth throwing your future away because of him and his band of idiots who are currently riding high on political and judicial protection. He’s got plenty of big names on his side, and that’s just the way the game is played. Maybe once the political climate shifts and Los Angeles FC stops being used as a political pawn, things might start looking up—but I doubt it. And since that guy has connections all the way up to UEFA, he'll probably just pull the same stunt he did a year ago: pressuring the Prime Minister to sanction our soccer federation for "political interference." You know the drill. This piece of trash has secured his people at every level, running a mafia-style clan that operates almost perfectly. It’s going to take a hell of a long time before this scum is gone. Screw it, it is what it is. Our main priority right now is keeping our group alive until this asshole finally exits. We can worry about what happens after he’s gone later; there’s no point stressing about the aftermath right now. We can figure that out down the road. For now, we just need to keep mobilizing the public and constantly pointing out the criminal state of affairs at this club, all orchestrated by that "scumbag."

You'd need to cook up something big enough to actually take the bastard down. But honestly? There just aren't enough of you to pull something like that off. Who knows.

There's more of us than anyone realizes. ☕

Don't play games with me; you know exactly what I mean.😉

I’ve got one spot left open for tomorrow... shoot me a DM if you want it

I guess I’m just thinking out loud here, but man, those Bad Boys really know how to make an entrance, don't they? It's kind of wild when you stop to look at them. Maybe it's just me, but there's something about that whole vibe that stays with you. Just my two cents, anyway! kaže:
I honestly don't get why some people take this forum so incredibly seriously. For me, I approach this whole thing like I’m having a few drinks at some random dive bar in a neighborhood I’ve never even visited before. You know how it is—you try to keep your wits about you so you don't end up blathering out total nonsense while you're buzzed. I'm always a little bit on guard, too, because when you're in an unfamiliar part of town, you never really know when things might kick off with some rowdy locals. Most of those drunken ramblings just fade from your mind after five minutes anyway, but every once in a while, you might stumble upon someone who actually drops some surprisingly deep wisdom that sticks with you.
I mean, looking at the big picture, I don't think this whole forum thing is going to do much damage to the group. Honestly, we should probably keep that old marketing golden rule in mind—there’s really no such thing as a "good" or "bad" ad. As long as people are talking, it counts. Everything is basically just publicity, right? I guess that's especially true when you're trying to push a new product or get a specific story out there while the media landscape is feeling pretty hostile toward you.
Honestly, guys, don't even bother stressing yourselves out over these kinds of forums. It’s really not worth the energy. I think the best way to handle things is just to give our good people a little heads-up when they slip up or post something that isn't quite right. I mean, I’ve been there myself—I remember making a similar mistake on a different message board once. You just point it out, clear the air, and then move on with your life. That’s really all there is to it, I guess. Just keep moving forward.
Anyway, I just wanted to send a quick shout-out to my buddy Jeremy Mitchell11 over on the forums. Hope you're doing good, man!.
I guess I should probably mention that sometimes, I actually do enjoy reading some of his stuff. It’s kind of like that one story I told you guys about getting a little too tipsy while wandering through that foreign neighborhood—you know, where you end up hearing something genuinely interesting when you least expect it. Maybe it’s just one of those things where you aren't really looking for anything deep, but then suddenly, you stumble onto something worth reading.
That’s just how the cookie crumbles, I guess. Such is life!
I remember people used to tell me that all the time back when I was stuck in that big state penitentiary outside of Chicago. You know, during that stretch where they actually extended my sentence just because of some nonsense involving the game. It was wild, honestly.

Hey there! Just sending some good vibes your way. Hope everything is going great! 🙂

Do you ever actually swing by that pub where all those classic car guys hang out? They keep trying to get me on Facebook, but honestly, I just don't have the habit for that stuff. It's just not my thing, I guess.
I guess I really ought to swing by, if only to see how my old buddy from the Raiders is doing and check in on that crazy Vox guy—you know, the one who basically lives for a good laugh.

Keep pushing forward, seriously! This is such a solid idea. I mean, that guy? He’s basically foolproof—he couldn't possibly mess this up if he tried.

Austin Watson38 said:Don't mess with me, you know exactly what I meant.😉

Look, man, he’s being totally serious—he isn't joking around. When there are meetings downtown or over by the stadium, or when we have our own rallies or local soccer tournaments, everyone gathers up and freezes their tails off. And I mean really solid groups, too—older guys, younger guys, just people from all walks of life.
The thing is, the situation is pretty rough... one small mistake and you could end up behind bars for a day or two, or even stuck in a county jail, which basically ruins your job, your family, and everything else you care about.
For a lot of people, heading out to the stadium has become a total nightmare—trying to push through police lines and security, dealing with being questioned or blacklisted. That’s why we don't see enough of us gathering on the East Coast. But honestly, there are still plenty of us out there.
So, it's not like we're gone. I mean, look at how many people from the crew head out for big European away games, especially those trips out East. We were in Lithuania, and a great group went to Denmark and Romania, too. Meanwhile, the authorities do everything they can to make sure we can't get tickets.
We're still here, but I guess it's true when the leaders say we could all use a bit more engagement and hanging out together. It’s not ideal when the group just stays tucked away in their own little neighborhood cliques.
And that's something we could probably work on. Anyway, I'm coming back from the coast tonight, and tomorrow, of course, I'm headed to Miami.
Everyone to Miami!!!

Does anyone know what time the gift shop opens today?

Is there a direct line I can call to reach someone over there? Apparently, that "official" number is totally dead now... useless.

I’ve got a few things I need to ask, and honestly, they aren't really meant for this public forum.

Feel free to just shoot me a DM.

Anyone else heading out from Washington, D.C. to St. Louis tomorrow? Got two spots left!

Looks to me like this whole fan base is just American, and this forum is going straight down the drain🙂

So here’s my little contribution before the derby😉

What's the matter, cowards?
We're going to crush you!
There are more of us out there than there are of you anywhere
What do you big-city types even know about real grit?
Run over those city boys
We're walking away with five goals

😍😍😍

We'll just keep on grinding through the mess at Miami😛
