Sam Sullivan58 said:I feel like people are losing interest in cheering because our local scene just doesn't have any decent terrace anthems anymore. It’s all just shouting chants... I honestly think we should look at how they do things elsewhere; they seem to have picked up all the best melodies and actually sing them in the stands, through thick and thin. This really applies to the Ultras too, because if I'm being honest, our songs have always been pretty weak, mostly just consisting of yelling. It makes sense that people would get tired of it.

🙂
But then again, how were people supposed to cheer during those old rivalries against teams like Inter or Skonta?
I guess there would have been different songs back then.

The fans won't sing, the guys at the bar won't sing, nobody cares. It's just how it is. 😍

And besides, how can anyone actually get into singing if things don't improve enough to make it worth it... back in the day, a chant lasted twenty seconds, but nowadays it's barely seven or eight before it dies out 🤣 , and I can already hear someone jumping in with that "everyone's just moving too fast these days, man" routine. 🤷

Things might get better, though they probably won't get worse. Maybe it’s just too early, or maybe we're right on the edge of something changing—who knows.

placidraven20 said:Who actually stopped you from being the first one out there? Who told you not to charge in and give Halilovic a hard time? You’re just another one of those people who thinks typing out what "should" be done is actual work. Why don't you lead the way then? Who's stopping you? We've had enough of people waiting for someone else to act before they finally decide to show up.

😢

That's just not true.
We need to stop lying to ourselves. It's my fault, yours, and his.
The local fan clubs, the ultras, everyone—we're all stuck and overthinking it. They've drilled fear into us until we're all just following orders, yet some 77-year-old guy can explain the whole thing more clearly and simply than any of us combined. 😢

That would be a completely different vibe back then.

Look, you know as well as I do that you can't compare those games to the big rivalry match... not every game carries the same weight, and you can't apply the same logic to everything. For instance, when we’re at the big derby and someone starts chanting about how much we hate the other side, the whole stadium erupts because even though we're rooting against them, we're also implicitly backing our rivals just to spite the opponent. But against Inter? You're strictly rooting for the underdog. It's obvious that everyone's emotions are getting tangled up—you want to support the underdog a little, but you also want to stick it to the main rivals, and honestly, we don't have the right anthems to capture that specific energy. 😁 Just kidding, mostly. Later.

Well, there's your answer from the neighbor! If you don't like how things are being run, go grab a complaint form at the exit and write down everything you're unhappy with!

For instance, during a big derby, when the crowd starts chanting against the local rivals from the city or the coast, the whole stadium rises up because you're rooting for the Los Angeles Dodgers while simultaneously trying to get under the opponent's skin. But when we play Inter? You're strictly rooting for the Dodgers. It seems like people just get their emotions a bit tangled—one minute they're backing the team, the next they're just focused on hating the opposition, and honestly, there aren't really any songs that capture that specific vibe. 😁I'm mostly joking, but that's probably the gist of it. Anyway, take care.

Well, if the same philosophy doesn't apply to every single game, then the issue clearly isn't the melody.
I guess the real problem is just that people find it easier to hate than to actually love something. 🙄

I don't even know what you guys are looking for here...
In my book, the atmosphere from the fans is generally solid—there are moments where it’s absolutely electric. But honestly, you can't really expect much, let alone get anything out of it, when you drop a game against your biggest rival right there on your own home turf.

We need to stop lying to ourselves. It isn't just my fault, or yours, or his.
It’s the Boisie fans, the Army faithful, and everyone else in between. We’ve become too calculated, too hesitant. They’ve effectively conditioned us to be afraid, and we’ve all been trained to stay in line, while this 77-year-old guy just lays everything out for us in plain, simple English.😢

Look, man, nobody was actually defending someone rushing onto the field; let's be real, we're all a little crazy.
But it's always so easy to play armchair quarterback after the final whistle blows. That’s how it always goes—every single time something happens.
Unless we change this way of thinking, we aren't going anywhere.

But honestly, brother, the blame lies squarely with the first group. 🙂🙂

🤣 They aren't exactly the type to turn on the lead team; if anything, it's the opposite
But then again, everyone else treats them like the frontrunners just because they expect them to make the first move 😉

So, is anyone actually going to follow them? 🤷

It's all just calculated moves—one side wants you to lead the charge, while the other isn't convinced the crowd will actually follow 😢

At the end of the day, it’s just pathetic seeing some random nobody mocking the Ultras 🙄

John Brown30 said:🤣 I’m certainly not one of those people who’s going to sit here and start bashing the first team; if anything, I feel exactly the opposite way.
Then again, everyone else just assumes that squad will take the lead because that’s exactly what they expect from them—that they'll be the ones to make the first move. 😉

So, the question remains: is anyone actually going to follow them now? 🤷

That’s exactly what I mean by cold, hard calculation. You try to take the first step, to lead the charge, and suddenly everyone starts looking at you sideways, acting like they don't believe the crowd is actually going to follow suit. It’s all just games. 😢

After everything we've been through, it honestly just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to see some nobody mocking the legacy of the Ultras' North Stand. 🙄

Look, I’m not out here trying to defend the old guard. What I’m doing is making a broader point about those armchair critics who love nothing more than pointing fingers. They have this habit of blaming the previous administration—in this case, the original crew—for absolutely everything that goes wrong or fails to happen. It's a lazy way to look at things.
If someone is so incredibly worked up that they feel the need to constantly lecture everyone else about what they haven't accomplished, I honestly don't understand what’s stopping that person from just stepping up and doing it themselves. They act like they're waiting for a consensus or some kind of permission to lead, without ever considering whether anyone would actually follow them in the first place. To be blunt, people like that are just talking trash, and frankly, it’s pretty pathetic to watch.
I’m not just talking about the guy who left this comment here, either. I’d bet my life savings that half the crowd was probably sitting around some bar after the game, absolutely livid, venting about how nobody stepped up to give that kid a reality check when he deserved it. It’s honestly pathetic. How can you ever expect a team or a culture to actually progress when everyone just sits there and lets that kind of behavior slide?
Everything became crystal clear right after the final whistle. Watching half the north stands chanting for the boys to come over here... yeah, that said it all.
Listen up, everyone—get over here right now. 😍

It’s probably better if I don't say too much right now—I am honestly just too pissed off to be coherent.

Choreography, flares, and smoke machines...
Just cheering for a memory that’s already fading. That’s my two cents, anyway.

Come on over, brothers 😍

🤣 That's what you stopped singing after your second season, isn't it?🤣

And this other thing 😠 😠 😠

All you little rats who have nothing useful to say about what went right or wrong—just back off. Stop trying to sell us your fake wisdom on these forums. And to all those complexes running around mocking the "brotherhood" vibe: get lost too. What’s being written here is absolute bottom-of-the-barrel trash. It’s just fanboy tantrums where people ruin the whole point of being a supporter by making fun of the core values and blaming them for every single thing that goes sideways. You’ve got these losers who spend two seasons sitting in the stands just to cause drama over every tiny little thing. If we don't fit your specific little mold of what an Ultras group should be, then apparently we owe the entire fan base a formal apology and need to post some self-critical manifesto on this forum explaining exactly where we failed and how we'll fix it. Give it a rest, you know-it-alls...

I suppose I should probably just leave these here, since apparently, we're all waiting for something to actually happen—

If you're looking for logic, you might be in the wrong place. http://s29.postimg.org/hpm0stsx3/dinamo_8.jpg
It's all quite surreal, honestly. http://s29.postimg.org/71i9tzixz/dinamo_9.jpg

The choreography was nothing to write home about, honestly...
The flare display lacked any real punch too...
Definitely one of those underwhelming derbies that leaves you wanting more...
Catch you guys on April 5th, folks! 😍
