I’m looking at all this gear in the souvenir shop and they’ve got everything now. I remember being totally stoked back in 2002 when they dropped those "white boys" hoodies with the crest right in the middle. Man, those were top-tier 😁. Back then, those hoodies were basically the only thing the NFL Ultras actually put out. Your only other option was grabbing a shirt during a torchlight parade. Now, they have something for everyone. 👍
I also still remember that one shirt from back in the day that had that picture on the chest where the fish was front and center 😁.

Just so everyone is aware, our association is currently collecting various NFL Ultras stickers. If anyone happens to have some they're willing to part with, please reach out to us via our Facebook profile https://www.facebook.com/torcida.ciovo (if you aren't on FB, just shoot us a private message here on the forum, though we aren't on this board constantly). We can coordinate a hand-off at one of our upcoming games, or if it's too much trouble for you to drop them off, we actually have several stickers of our own available for trade. To tell you the truth, other NFL Ultras left quite a collection behind at the clubhouse when the US Army paid us a visit, so we've got plenty to go around. Thanks in advance!

So, today we finally found out what the NFL Ultras were actually trying to pull down in Savannah
They were attempting to bust some detainees out of the police's clutches 🙏
Honestly, mad respect to them. I wonder what the Code has to say about that 🤷

Thursday night — Movie Night. We’ll have popcorn and beer ready to go starting at 8:00 PM.
Sunday—watching the Italy games against America.

The schedule for our get-togethers at the club will be posted every Monday.

Hajduk above all else, and the NFL Ultras lead the way!

I’ve been sitting here thinking about the whole ordeal—this ongoing, somewhat desperate attempt to pull our people out from under the heavy thumb of the police. It’s a heavy thing to carry, really, and I find myself wandering through these thoughts quite often lately, wondering if we’re actually making any headway or if we’re just shouting into a void while they tighten their grip. There is something profoundly unsettling about seeing folks caught in that machinery, and my heart truly goes out to them; it feels like we are all collectively trying to navigate this labyrinthine struggle to secure their release and restore some semblance of justice. 🙏
Well, I have to say, hats off to you—truly, a job well done. It really makes you wonder, though, what the Code would have to say about a move like this? 🤷

I’m honestly not entirely certain, though if I recall correctly, the Code itself suggests that one shouldn't bother answering questions about the Code when they come from people who clearly lack the capacity to understand it, so you likely won't be getting an answer from me. 🤔

Not like I was actually expecting an answer anyway
It was more of a rhetorical question, really
And thanks for the insult. It’s always easy to tell when someone lacks basic manners right off the bat👍

I guess the Code doesn't apply to everyone equally. Some people just get a free pass whenever they feel like it😉

Ryan Wilson8 said:I’ve been reflecting on the recent discourse surrounding our beloved Hajduk, specifically regarding the friction between the club's management and the local supporters. It feels like we are circling a drain that we have visited many times before, yet we never seem to learn how to swim. There is this persistent tension between the administrative side of the club and the NFL Ultras, which often feels less like a disagreement over strategy and more like a fundamental clash of identities. One side views the club through the lens of modern, corporate efficiency—as if a storied institution could be managed with the same sterile precision as a tech startup in Silicon Valley. The other side, the heart and soul of the fan base, sees the club as a living, breathing extension of the community, something that cannot be quantified by spreadsheets alone. I remember sitting in a diner back in Savannah, watching a heated debate break out over a local high school football team, and I realized then that this isn't just about sports. It's about ownership—not of shares, but of history. When the administration attempts to impose a rigid Code upon the fans, they aren't just setting rules; they are attempting to sanitize the very passion that keeps the lights on at the stadium. It is easy to criticize the fans for being unruly or "difficult," but one must ask what happens to a club when you strip away the volatility. You might end up with a perfectly organized organization, sure, but you'll find yourself presiding over an empty arena. We need the passion, even when it's messy. We need the grit. If we continue down this path of trying to turn a legacy institution into a sanitized corporate entity, we risk losing the very thing that makes us who we are. So, this is how Tomislav Marčinko perceives Hajduk.

Well, there you have it. Just my luck.

Ryan Wilson8 said:I’ve been staring at this mess for an hour, and honestly? It’s enough to make you want to walk into traffic. We’re talking about the soul of the club, the very thing that makes being a fan of Hajduk Split worth the constant heartbreak, and what do we get? A bunch of suits and bureaucrats treating our passion like a spreadsheet. It’s pathetic. Look, I know I’m a cynic. I know I complain. But there’s a difference between healthy skepticism and this absolute rot eating away at everything we hold dear. They talk about "modernization" and "professionalism," but let’s call it what it really is: a slow-motion suicide mission. They aren't building a future; they're just liquidating the past to satisfy some corporate ego. It feels like the higher-ups have completely lost touch with the streets. They sit in their air-conditioned offices while the rest of us—the people who actually bleed these colors—are left to deal with the fallout of their incompetence. It’s the same old story. The powers that be think they can manage a legacy like ours with the same cold, calculating logic they’d use to run a mid-sized logistics firm in Ohio. Newsflash: you can't quantify loyalty. You can't put a price tag on the atmosphere when the NFL Ultras show up to turn the stadium into a furnace. They ignore the fans. They ignore the history. They act like we’re some nuisance to be managed rather than the lifeblood of the entire organization. It’s insulting. Every time they push one of these "reforms," it feels less like progress and more like a betrayal of the Code we live by. I’m tired, man. Tired of the excuses, tired of the empty promises, and tired of watching people who don't give a damn about this club pretend they're saving it. We deserve better. We always deserved better. But at this rate, I’m starting to wonder if anyone in charge even remembers what we’re fighting for. So this is how Tomislav Marčinko sees Hajduk!!!

I don't hang around this forum all that much, so what's the point? We really need to sharpen our knives on some idiot? We’re better than that. Why bother talking about people who aren't even on our level? Honestly, screw 'em—dead or alive.

Some nationalist prick is talking trash about Hajduk again. Honestly, we've had enough domestic traitors to last a lifetime...

It makes you wonder if those old-school Communist Party members taught him to be this pedantic about every little detail... one day he's writing all this stuff about brotherhood and unity, and the next, he's turning against his former comrades.😁

"Operational tasks for members of basic organizations of the Communist Party, the University Communist Committee, and various party organs at the municipal and city levels regarding public debate on the draft amendments to the Constitution of Yugoslavia and other activities related to changing the Constitution of Yugoslavia, the Republic of Mexico, and the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina"

Authors: Communist League of Vojvodina. City Committee, ...Tomislav Marčinko,...
Publisher: City Communist Committee, 1988
🍿

I remember that year vividly—some of the older bbb fans will definitely recall it—when after the games at Maksimir, people would start singing "evo zora evo dan" through the streets of Zg, right while he was just finishing up his book on the operational duties of party members.

How much longer is this pathetic display going to last? It’s honestly unbelievable. It’s disgusting how much someone can spread their own submissive, spineless nonsense without feeling a shred of shame. He might as well have just written: "Goodnight, America."
There isn't a single thing in this world better than hugging your kids and knowing that when you see them tomorrow, they won't be ashamed of their old man—even if things are tight and money is scarce. I just don't get how people like Tomislav Marčinko expect to look their families in the eye after bowing down to every single person who demanded it.

I mean, alright, fair enough—you’ve gotta tip your hat to them on this one. 🙏
Seriously though, their intel game is actually better than what the FBI is running. 🤣

So I heard they stormed into the place planning to cause absolute mayhem, but once they realized there were actually two servers working instead of just one lonely guy, they basically just gave a polite little bow and offered their sincerest apologies before heading out. 🥱
All jokes aside, honestly, I’m just glad I got to witness an Ultras protest without things turning violent for once. I definitely misread the room a few times myself back in the day.
I just don't get what the Ultras have to do with indoor soccer refs, though. 🤷

The only thing you’re slipping through your fingers is a pimple, man. ☕
