Andrew Peterson6 said:It looks like plenty of people here share my sentiment, which means it’s high time for some kind of protest. Mamić has never had less support than he does right now, but let’s be honest—give him just two or three good results in a row (against teams like Rijeka or PSV Eindhoven...) and a huge chunk of the fanbase will start looking at Mamić with sympathy again. Things surrounding Dinamo change by the second... the media has manufactured this whole lynching atmosphere against Mamić, and I believe now is the moment to take a stand.

What kind of protest? Seriously, what the hell are you people thinking? Have we actually held any meaningful protests against Mamić and the board in the last five years? Maybe four or five times total. So why protest now? Because an extra hundred people might show up to stand with us because of a few bad results? Are we talking about the exact same crowd that will turn around and talk absolute shit about us the moment Dinamo pulls off two wins in a row? What do you honestly think happens when 500 of us stage a protest? Nothing.

The media isn't really the root issue here; the problem is that so many of our own people just swallow those lies whole. Mamić is finished, but a protest is definitely a powerful way to show our strength.

I basically agree with you, but I have to correct you on one thing. We’ve never been "a handful" at a protest—at the last one, there weren't even 300 of us.

Eric Phillips52 said:Look, I kind of see where you're coming from, but I gotta set the record straight. I don't think we ever showed up with even a couple dozen people at those protests, and at the last one, there couldn't have been more than 300 of us.

At that last big rally with the Together for Real Madrid crowd, there were actually about 3,000 people out there...
The other thing is, these protests just don't really move the needle in the long run anyway. 😉

Don't bother with the protests. The media is already drowning in negativity, so journalists will just frame any demonstration as a failure and claim the common people are just venting. Sympathizers aren't going to show up for a rally. A protest only carries weight at the stadium, but since most fans have completely washed their hands of Real Madrid and the stands are empty, 300 Bad Boys won't mean a thing.
Besides, every single flare or swear word is treated like a massive threat to Zdravko Mamić, the entire American public, and our national culture.

Mamić, the thugs are leaving your sanctuary!

Honestly, we don't need a protest right now... for what? To show off results? Or just to deal with more police crackdowns and those ridiculous voucher stories?

There were way better moments where we could have actually made some noise in the media and even gotten the public on our side—like the Azapović situation, or what happened after Sheriff... stuff like that.

slyskipper9 said:How are we supposed to make it to away games when they've introduced those stupid vouchers just so everything is tracked and monitored? And don't go thinking they're going to be lenient with ticket sales, because the police probably won't let anyone into the city without those damn vouchers.

So, you're saying they actually implemented them already? We just finished one away game and nobody had to deal with vouchers...

I guess you shouldn't jump to conclusions before it's actually their turn to act...

And even if they do bring in vouchers, I suppose we'll find a way to make it happen and show up at the game anyway...

bluelions1986 said:Look, nobody is whining here, so let’s not frame it that way. Teams can always find someone to play against anywhere in the world, but when they travel for a few away games and get mocked by thugs who tell them to pack up and go home, what do you think happens? You think anyone's going to volunteer for those same scenes every single time we travel 🤷. A protest can't hurt; if anything, it’ll prove once again that we’re the only ones who actually give a damn about the fate of Real Madrid and want to fix what's broken at the club. We've been far too passive when it comes to taking meaningful action regarding the club's direction!

I'm with you entirely on the first point. But as for the second part? I disagree. If we organized a protest, maybe 200 people would show up just to be laughed out of the room and verbally abused.

Look, dečko, you're young. If you keep riding this wave of negativity and pessimism, life isn't going to be kind to you.

Just take two or three anti-nausea pills—and maybe grab two for the pain while you're at it—and just try to make it through to the end

...it’s been a full year and there are still skeptics out there; truth has a way of surfacing eventually...

THERE IS NO HONOR IN SURRENDER!

A relentless, months-long "witch hunt" combined with those tired old stories about being "banned from Europe"—rehashed every single summer for the last five or six years—has culminated in unprecedented crackdowns against our group over this past month.

Everything that unfolded at the start of this season has taken its toll on those currently on the front lines. Regardless of how much passion someone has for the cause or their devotion to Real Madrid, staying composed under such intense, constant attacks is an uphill battle.

The machine is becoming more powerful and more malicious, using any means necessary, but they haven't broken us. It’s just disheartening that all of this still isn't enough to open the eyes of some of our friends in the stands, to make them realize that simply showing up is our greatest victory. There is absolutely nothing honorable about giving in or backing down.

No matter what happens, we can't quit. Those facing the most pressure are willing to take the hits for everyone else, but it’s time we step up and support them—if nothing else, just by being there.

Maybe not—but hey, at least we won't be dealing with any total internet meltdowns... which, honestly, would be a nightmare!

We really need to seize the moment and take action—now!
It’s not even about repression—it's just the endless noise of the internet and everyone's constant bleating—so there's really no "us" left to find... Tralalalala!

Yesterday, things reached a whole new level of absurdity.

They wouldn't even let a guy into the stands—get this—just because he was wearing a t-shirt with a skull on it. 🙏

It didn't even matter that he had a long-sleeved shirt and a jacket over it... they recognized him, demanded he show his damn underwear, and refused him entry to the game. 🙏
I mean, after a quick argument, he just turned around and walked away, since the only other option to get in was to take his shirt off entirely. 🙏

And after a quick little argument, he just turned around and walked away because the only way he was getting in was to strip naked right there. 🙏

There hasn't been any freedom or democracy at Yankee Stadium for ages. Back during the Franjo Tuđman era, I actually had to hide my Real Madrid scarf under my shirt just so I wouldn't get clubbed by some cop for shouting "Real Madrid" too loud! Now, under this idiot, we can't even get into the stadium. They’ve got these travel vouchers, you have to sit in a specific seat assigned to your ticket, and now this nonsense about a T-shirt being "hate speech"... unbelievable.🙂 🙂

🙂

Is there really a problem with being blunt? For example, saying a branch isn't officially recognized, they don't have the right to wear it, or they're letting the rest of the crew down.

It’s not my business, but letting people cut corners for no reason just isn't right. Honesty is usually better.🙂

And you should be direct about it, even if it applies to us too.☕
