Bad Boys - Part IV

Jonathan Lewis3 said:The people in the top right corner are basically spitting in our faces...

The "smart" ones? Those folks in the top right were just families with kids who showed up through some "veterans' association" to honor Dustin. The police literally escorted them onto the same section and fenced them off from the rest. What was the plan? Should we have started throwing Molotov cocktails at them?
So, apparently, insulting the players wasn't enough(?)... celebrating the goals was also a crime(?)...
It’s the same old loop: trying to score points by obsessing over total nonsense. It’s pathetic.
Get a grip and find something better to do with your lives.

It’s the same old story, people trying to score points by obsessing over absolute nonsense. It's pathetic, honestly.

You guys sang them those lovely little tunes at the end, and I think they gave you a nice round of applause on their way out.😂

Yeah... honestly, Jack Sullivan90 beat me to the punch and pretty much laid out everything I was thinking.

Anyway, I saw the look on that woman's face and her kids—it was something else.

Daniel Johnson46 said:Man, you should at least show some gratitude, especially to the guy who handles the music, for god's sake. ☕

So these three emojis 🙏🙏🙏 are supposed to be thanks? Seriously?

Jason Williams5 said:I think they played music during halftime, the sound system was just garbage yesterday.

They played it right after we stopped. Like I said, props to them for playing it. 🙏

Just a shot from the first half.
Man, I was really hoping we’d see more people getting knocked out yesterday, though I guess it's true there were plenty who fell just because they did something stupid.

Eric Lee10 said:So, they actually went ahead and handed out the jerseys? Is that really where we are now?🤷

I had this dream that I should share with you all—it was pretty vivid. In the dream, someone from the Blue Jays was handing out jerseys after the game as a way of apologizing, and people were actually lining up to take them. It’s funny because I wrote this down the very next day, right after that match ended. Is it just my mind playing tricks on me, or was there some sort of unspoken tension in the air that night? ☕

Looks like a total kid, hasn't aged a day.

You really gonna act all high and mighty now?

They picked up dozens of people at the station. And right at the entrance, ten or more flare-throwers got taken down by security.

Just a little something from after the game yesterday.

👍

They had us under surveillance at the Rose Bowl too, right after we cleared the toll booths near the parking lot and before they even started the car search... then they just kept up the psychological warfare by filming us again after the match, which you can see here in this photo

Everyone’s talking, but nobody is saying anything meaningful about the atmosphere at the derby.

I’m posting this on the Bad Boys thread, not some corporate rag, just to avoid being called a provocateur, but honestly, I have zero clue what the Black and Gold Army is even planning regarding the support.

We did what we could given the constant harassment, the bans, and whatever other nonsense they're trying to use against us. It was pure madness for a bit, but it’s a damn shame that energy didn't carry over to the second half when the crowd was even bigger, especially with how much the police were stalling people at the gates.

The North Stand at the Rose Bowl today—and for the last ten years—is a completely different world than it used to be. That raw intensity from back in the day? Gone. The numbers are great, the stands are packed, but I didn't hear a single song loud enough to actually shake the stadium. Even during all that mess with the ownership, there was no roar from the stands, no pressure that made the opposition tremble. It’s a waste. This derby used to be called the premier matchup in the country, though the home side always carried the weight of having to prove it. Yesterday, in my opinion, the home fans totally failed to show up.
