Most of them are just saying things like, "Yeah, the owner might be shady, but at least we beat the rivals." They act like they're all these old-school hardcore ultras from back in the day, too.
It's hard to believe some of the stuff being said. I honestly thought things were shifting in the city and that the fans weren't really backing him anymore... but apparently, everyone's just happy as long as we get the win. As long as we crushed the other guys, anything goes, I guess. It's wild how many people think like that.
They don't seem to get that while thirty of our guys are sitting in a holding cell during the holidays, everyone else is back home having a feast with their families—all under the guise of making "sports cleaner" or whatever excuse they use.
Honestly... it's just disappointing to see this kind of thing happening everywhere.
I wasn't even planning on posting here—I usually just stick to my usual spot—but I had to jump in just to reply to you.
All that talk about how the only thing that matters is that we beat your team? Honestly, screw those bandwagoners. They're a tiny minority, really. And these "old school" types they claim to be? Who even are they?
I might actually head over to that forum now just to argue with them.
You put it perfectly. I've been through a lot myself—I was actually in a French prison last Christmas, so I know what it's like.
I'm 44, and I've been going to games since '83. I served in the military, I was there when the first major supporter movements started up—though I'm sidelined for now. And trust me, man, I'm definitely not the only veteran on our side.
There are more of us real fans than those fair-weather types, especially once you hit 40.
Anyway, keep doing your thing. You guys played an incredible game, truly. Hats off to you.
