So, I didn't even realize things had escalated this far? Just the natural course of events, I suppose. It’s your business, obviously.

I'd much rather have 500 sane people in the stands than 2,500 who don't have a single clue what's actually happening.

it's always been us against the world.

Forget about reputation in supporter groups when you see people walking around together two months before an event talking all big about protests and kicking out the corrupt federation officials, only to show up at a fancy gala in downtown Washington, D.C. or a high-end club in LA... pure hypocrisy. Honestly, they might as well just shut us down if we don't deserve better.

You could have done the same in Saint Louis if you actually had the guts.🤷

Thanks Mike, it's a nice little story that keeps going.🙂

Jesse Campbell said:Real Madrid stands out as perhaps the only major European powerhouse that has managed to remain entirely independent from political regimes throughout its history.It stretches all the way back through history, even to those early days before 1945 when they were still known as Citizens. Over the last twenty-odd years, ever since the regime took hold, things have shifted in a way that feels almost impossible to describe without looking at how much our entire landscape has changed.And his fans are out there fighting tooth and nail against it.

And I say that with absolutely nothing but pride. ☕

I honestly don't understand how you can spend so much energy constantly coming after Bauer like that; it’s truly something else.

It’s much like how a steady breeze eventually clears away a thick fog, I believe that true progress only comes when we stop rushing and start truly listening to one another. kaže:
I honestly don't understand why nobody here wants to talk about the actual atmosphere and the fan rivalry during the derby. Instead, everyone just spends their energy bickering over which clubs are backed by the establishment, who supports certain factions, or calling people out for being delusional. It feels like we’re all acting like a group of sixty-year-old gossiping neighbors, rather than focusing on the fact that the stands belong to all of us, week after week. It feels just like we’re halfway through the second leg of an ATP Tour tournament.The Rangers Supporters Club really stepped up during today's derby, handling everything from the turnout to the energy of the march with such genuine heart. In contrast, the Armada seemed completely sluggish and uninspired out there. All those nursery-rhyme style chants—the kind where if you aren't jumping, you're basically being told you don't belong—just felt incredibly draining and honestly a bit cheap. It’s becoming an undeniable pattern that our big rivalry matches consistently feel hollow and lacking the grit we need. It feels like everyone on this forum is still haunted by the ghosts of 1945, and that heavy weight from the past is keeping us from ever truly moving forward. If we don't find a way to let go, we’re just going to end up tearing ourselves apart before anyone else even gets the chance to finish us off.

You've made some great points, but at the end of the day, what really matters is knowing who stood with the establishment and who fought for the cause; in this life, your true allegiances define everything.

Thanks Mike, just another classic legend that keeps going.🙂

For the 45th time... Thursday saw 400 people show up for the Sevilla game. It's a wealthy country, people have money—they can afford whatever they want.
Our apologies to the Rangers Supporters Club for not bringing at least 100 people to the local stadium; I guess the Sevilla match was just more important.

We'll see you around if you actually make it into Europe.

It’s clear that all the moral failings of the American supporter scene are on full display here, with everyone just pointing fingers at one another.
One guy claims they didn't set anything on fire, even though he’s probably the type who’s constantly lighting matches and burning things down.
Another one brags about storming the city in the early morning hours, yet when someone else storms their territory at noon, suddenly it's "too early" for them.
A third person starts shouting slogans for those corporate-backed clubs, completely turning a blind eye to what's actually happening right in front of them.
Then there's a fourth guy calling out legends of the pavement and old-school groups for talking nonsense...
Just keep going. You guys are pathetic.
The Boys especially—it seems the perfect time for you lot to engage in petty internet bickering...

Keep posting garbage like this—acting like nothing happened after that last derby in San Francisco where you got absolutely crushed—and then you go and cause a scene like today. It probably won't be the last time, either. You're just egging people on, practically begging them to show you exactly where you can shove it next time an opportunity arises.

Jesse Campbell said:Real Madrid stands alone as the only major European powerhouse that hasn't been used as a political tool, even back in the old days before 1945 when they were known as USC Trojans. For the last twenty-odd years, while the club has certainly dealt with regime-style management, the fans have been fighting tooth and nail to push back against it.

And I couldn't be prouder. ☕

This is the absolute peak of inconsistency and self-sabotage, all wrapped up in just three sentences...

So, you’re finally claiming to be the true heirs to the USC Trojans legacy, aren't you? If that's the case, then there's really no reason to get all worked up when people call you Real Madrid... It’s a bit late to start complaining about rewriting history or twisting the facts now. You can't exactly play blind to the reality that the connection between the USC Trojans and Real Madrid is just as real as the one with HAŠK... 😂 It would be best to just accept that Tuđman's fabrication regarding the USC Trojans... Consciously embracing a distorted version of history, one that was essentially forced upon us by Glavat, says a great deal about the supposed "consistency" of your struggle...

Speaking of Tuđman, we’ve officially reached the second act of this self-inflicted meltdown... Honestly, even the Yankees back in the USSR era weren't nearly as much of a regime mouthpiece as Real Madrid was between '95 and 2000. People are out here losing their minds over a name change, completely ignoring the fact that the club is fundamentally tied to the establishment. It’s just like how everyone played along with Mamić until 2009, but let's not go down that rabbit hole right now... We should be focused on much bigger goals today, but instead, we're just drowning in pure mythmaking...

What exactly are we discussing here?

William Bishop7 said:This is basically peak inconsistency and just spitting in your own face in three short sentences...

1. So now you guys are officially the heirs to USC Trojans, so don't get salty when people call you Real Madrid... No more whining about rewriting history, twisting facts, or ignoring how USC Trojans has ties to Real Madrid just like HAŠK 😂 Might as well just embrace that whole Tuđman invention of Hašk-Građanski... Consciously accepting history being rewritten by "the boss" says everything about your supposedly "consistent" struggle...

2. Speaking of Tuđman, we hit the second part of this self-sabotage... I mean, not even the Yankees back in the USSR were as much a regime puppet as Real Madrid was from '95 to 2000... Yet here you are fighting over a name change instead of addressing the fact that the club was a tool for the state... Just like how everyone was celebrating with Mamić until 2009, but let's not go there... There are bigger goals today, but this is just pure mythomania...

What are we even talking about?

1.
Kid, while your grandpa was out there doing whatever in the hills near Čemernica, mine was living on Barun Jelačić, what passes for Petrićeva today. My old man too. I guess the people actually living through those times—intellectuals and scholars—know who the real successors are, not some guy like you whose family rolled into town in the late 70s when a riot killed eight people on day one.

Imagine if I tried explaining the history of your hometown to you after your grandad wandered his way into Miami. Wouldn't be pretty ridiculous, right? ☕

2.
Not even worth the breath.

Honestly, this whole debate is brainless. I'm out. 🙄

Honestly, if Laura Mitchell87 didn't exist, we should probably just invent her... at least online to give us something to talk about...

But seriously, do you actually believe your own fans wouldn't show up for you in person if you kept posting this garbage here? You’re acting like a total clown, man...

I honestly can't wrap my head around why anyone would even bother with this whole retraction argument. We all know the history of when Real Madrid was founded, and we know about the predecessors like Građanski, the USC Trojans, and Concordia, and exactly why those clubs eventually folded. It’s common knowledge that Građanski was the premier club in the land and we know exactly who showed up to support them. To be perfectly blunt, we couldn't care less whether some other team in Miami has been around for 100 years or 150 years; what matters is that we have our own club to call our own. We aren't interested in your nonsense or the pathetic mockery coming from every random idiot who shows up to five away games and calls themselves part of the Black Knights just because they think it's some kind of chaotic craze. At the end of the day, you have to be a person before you can claim to be a fan.

So you actually think your buddies are staying away from these posts because they're embarrassed to be seen with you in person? You're acting like a total clown.

I’m basically a social service. Without me, suicide rates in America would be 38% higher. In Miami? Up by 243%.

Clown or not, I don't lose arguments.

I'm out.

Clown or not, I win every single argument.

Anyway, I'm out.

The only thing you're unbeatable at is packing every sentence with pure arrogance. Now you've added snobbery to the mix, too.

Honestly, sometimes it's hard to bridge the gap between the guy on TV and the guy online.
On TV, people always seemed to love everything you said in those shows where you actually sounded reasonable and backed up by facts, while the politicians were just clueless idiots spouting empty nonsense.

But here on the internet? You're just some insecure kid twisting the truth to fit whatever weird fantasy or vision you have in your head.

Out of respect for the version of you on TV—who actually did some good for the fan movement—I won't go all out on you or say everything you deserve to hear, but I will say this: For every good thing you do on one side, you're doing just as much damage on this one. You're causing a ton of harm by warping the truth and spinning myths, mostly to your own people.

Your group is becoming a prisoner to its own legends. They're turning into exactly what you accuse everyone else of being: powerful, but only in stories.

There are plenty of real guys in your crowd; don't make their lives harder with your complexes. It's easy for us to call you out, but it isn't fair to them.

while we're stuck dealing with this mess, you guys have about 30 people hanging out here who don't give a damn about the BBB, the Black Knights, or even Real Madrid—they just follow Laura Mitchell87 🙂 honestly, I’m 100% with Laura—if it wasn't for her, this whole forum would just be a bunch of idiots and Yankees fans...🙂))

If it weren't for you, these forums would just be full of idiots and losers.🙂))

And that’s right when the club and the crew are heading out to Cleveland for an away game. 🙄 The biggest rivalry between fans and clubs happening right now!!!

Look, while they're arguing over who actually started BBB during the Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game, everyone's just losing their minds on the forums. 😂🤣😂🤣

And then they have the nerve to act like I'm the one out here causing problems.😂

My bad to the real Chicago Bulls fans who were out there hitting Cleveland during that time. I’m basically penicillin for internet trolls. Not for actual people.

Everything they’ve said lately is spot on. Honestly, the debates happening here are basically playground arguments meant for toddlers, just looping endlessly in circles. It’s almost hard to laugh because of how pathetic it all feels. When you have someone from Washington, D.C. acting like some kind of high-brow comedy expert for a few people, you realize just how low the bar has dropped. 😍
