Bad Boys - Part IV

thanks 👍

I heard they went after the Bad Boys group again at the end of the show?

The whole show was clearly designed to be your typical network soccer broadcast—keep everyone quiet, let the narrative favor the Liberal Party, and pin everything on the fans and various fines.

But then, about ten minutes in, Lalic just snapped. He started tearing into everyone, especially this committee that handed out those vouchers. He actually said, "Vrbanović on the committee?! We need to start a committee against Vrbanović." 🤣

Later, he brought up the sports legislation and called out Milanovic and Jovanovic, telling them to actually do something—pass a new law that regulates how clubs function instead of Milanovic acting like he couldn't care less about the sport...

Strvanović is busy being entrenched in a million different associations, Ship was looking pretty lost—maybe nerves or something else, who knows—and Cvrk is your classic mouthpiece for the establishment, constantly trying to dodge questions and asking if the Liberal Party is to blame for everything. 🙄 Then there's a bit of praise for the Democratic Party, a few mentions of penalties, and he even claimed the association is practically the greatest in the universe, or something like that. 🤣,

Check out this clip from the show, I think it’s pretty interesting, though you gotta catch the full thing tomorrow if you want the whole story.

But Lalić lost it after about ten minutes and started going off on everyone. He took aim at the committee that handed out those vouchers, saying, "Vrbanović on the board?! We need to start an anti-Vrbanović committee." 🤣

Then he brought up the sports legislation and called out Milanović and Jovanović, telling them to actually do something—pass a new law that regulates how clubs operate instead of Milanović pretending he doesn't even care about soccer...

Stevanović is basically just another bureaucrat tied up in a million different associations, and Ship was looking pretty lost, maybe from nerves or whatever. Then you've got Cvrk, a classic sycophant who keeps trying to dodge questions and repeatedly asks if the Federation is to blame for everything 🙄 while giving the league a few cheap compliments, listing some penalties, and claiming the Federation is practically the greatest organization in the universe. 🤣,

Exactly...it was so predictably formulaic that it wasn't even worth watching. I mean, Lalić gave the show a bit of life, but overall? Totally unwatchable.

Mr. Lalić, you have my deepest respect. 🙏

I had this dream yesterday about how incredibly tough this struggle is for you all. It wasn't even because of any repression, harassment, or rights being violated—it was more because it feels like there’s a lack of true connection to the club and the players. When a goal is scored, it doesn't feel like a shared victory, which misses the whole point of why we became fans in the first place... I'm just glad things have shifted for us in that regard.
..but honestly, that's just the result of years of hard work. Let's just stay smart this Wednesday; we can achieve so much when we're united.

But honestly, Lalić killed it. Instead of letting them pin everything on the fans—since the real issue is politicians ignoring organized crime—he went after Jovanović, Milanović, and Vrbanović. He even brought up Locomotive and how Mamić is basically living off taxpayer money.

Ships also managed to bring up the Miami example where members vote for a new board, arguing that's the only actual solution.

But look, when the host is clueless and out of the loop, you just get the same old spin cycle. It always turns into the same repetitive show about fans, hooligans, insults, and penalties. That’s where they need to start.

Still, thanks to Lalić, things actually took a different turn for once.

Gary Green32 said:Honestly, Miami scares me. You’ve got 30,000 people heading in, including a massive crowd of silentviper22 types from god knows where, and I just don't see how anyone's gonna keep that under control.

Man, this just proves you don't get the vibe of this city at all. Not a single Boys is gonna let anything happen to you, and nobody’s even gonna give you a dirty look, trust me on that. Your fears are totally baseless—they're basically just coming from the fact that you don't really grasp the mindset of our local community when it comes to stuff like this.☕

Nah, let’s be real... 99% of those silentviper22 types are actually just dying to get up close and personal with some hippies—probably hoping they can buy them a beer while they're at it. 😍

Jonathan Lewis3 said:Nah, man... honestly, like 99% of those silentviper22 types are just dying to get up close to the Yankees fans and buy them a beer. 😍

🤣 They’ll find the Boys attractive enough to want some photos with them, haha.

It's because you simply can't connect with your club or your players anymore. When a goal is scored, you don't celebrate it because those emotions aren't real. They aren't the feelings that drove us all to become fans in the first place. Thank God things have shifted for us here..
..but that's all the result of years of hard work. On Wednesday, let's just stay smart. Together, we can achieve a lot.

That really is the absolute worst part of being a fan of a club like this. On my way back from the grocery store, I ran into Branka Ramljak, and she was telling me how heavy it felt—how she couldn't believe you guys don't even celebrate goals. I tried explaining to her that it's perfectly normal, and honestly, we should probably just cheer for Dinamo Chicago to finish third or fourth as long as this management stays in charge. I gave her an example of how I felt back when Ciro was coaching and we were all at the stadium watching the game. Back when Kranjčar was our hero. This current mess with Mamic is three times worse than that. She probably finally realized why there's zero emotion left in the stands.

Can't wait to grab a Hajduk Split brew 🙏😍🙂

I tried explaining to her that it’s perfectly normal; honestly, we should be cheering for Dinamo to stay in third place as long as that guy is running the show. I gave her an analogy about back when Ciro was coaching and even the most die-hard fans at the stadium were just rooting for anyone else to win. Like when Kranjcar used to shake the foundations for us. But this current situation with Mamic? It’s three times worse than those days. She probably finally realized why there’s zero emotion left in this place.

Think back to when Ante Vukušić scored those brilliant goals against Anderlecht in the 90th minute... how did you feel? You'd say... "Man, I don't even remember what happened next, let alone where I ended up in that moment..."

Well, when Vid scored against Ludogorets in that cursed 98th minute, the world practically collapsed for me (and I know I wasn't alone). Pair that with Ketsbaie's goal for Newcastle United in the 120th minute back in '97, the lost championships in 1990 (under Kuže) and 2004 (when Orlando handed you the title)... those are the hardest moments I carry in my life as a fan.
Then there was the Maglica goal in the 91st minute. That put a massive grin on my face—not just because, like you, I wanted it to be a draw in 2005, but because seeing that "genius" coach fail miserably while trampling over a shallow stream (specifically, a semi-pro version of Hajduk Split) was pure bliss.
In short: I'm rooting against them because I don't see Dinamo anymore; I just see him! My hats off to the guys at HHO and my colleague Svetina for providing the public with actual facts!

We're glad you've seen firsthand that such feelings are possible in a supporter's life... and may God forbid any fan or any group ever has to feel that way again...

But let's cut through the sentimentality for a second and tear apart this overly constructive, "tolerant" approach to current events. I have one politically incorrect question:

HOW ON EARTH DID YOU CHOOSE THAT EXACT ADDRESS IN NEW YORK CITY TO HOLD YOUR MEETINGS!?!? 😁 😂🙄 🤣

gentlemarlin102 said:I can't wait to grab a drink from Hajduk Split🙏😍🙂

Oh man, forget about Hajduk! There isn't any more cash going to them. 😁 You better find something else to spend it on.

They keep feeding us these endless scientific studies about "evolving fan extremism," pouring massive amounts of taxpayer money into prevention during spring break and importing foreign models to curb hooliganism. In reality, it’s always the same 15 guys in America—you see them in every other YouTube clip of a riot—but the government would rather go after the constitutional rights of everyone else just trying to buy a ticket to a game. They spend years debating hooliganism like it's some kind of nuclear terrorism threat, only for those same thugs to solve the whole issue in a single afternoon.

I guess we should probably aim to show up about an hour and a half early this Wednesday, just so everyone can actually get inside before things really kick off

Last night's broadcast was a total circus.

And regarding the cheering—specifically celebrating those Dinamo goals... it’s hard to wrap your head around, let alone explain. I wouldn't wish anyone else to experience that intensity... just like slysailor52 said... Vid's goal against Ludogorets felt almost exactly like that 119th minute against Newcastle United.
