Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

copperharbor02 said:Jesus Christ 🤣

The folks from D.C. can't even get their act together, so there's no way you guys are gonna pull this off either... 🙄

They haven't even given it a shot—if those D.C. types can't make it happen, we don't stand a chance either.😁

All things considered, it was a top-tier derby from both sides. The turnout, the choreo, the pyrotechnics, even the chaos—everything hit the mark. The only thing that needs to go is this stone-throwing nonsense; it’s high time we put an end to that once and for all.

It’s done. At this point, my only hope is that out of the hundred people reading this, at least one decides to stop throwing stones at bottles and starts acting like a decent human being toward others. It’s a marginal gain—maybe a 0.01% reduction in the likelihood of someone getting seriously screwed over—but I suppose even that makes the effort worthwhile.

The guys in DC can't destroy us either, so don't think you're any special. 🙄

Look, buddy, just go to www.redarmy.com and check out the photo galleries from our rivalry games over the last few seasons.

Eric Phillips52 said:Man, just get lost already. www.badblueboys.hr Just take a look at those photo galleries from the derby over the last few seasons. Seriously. Just look at them.

Sarcasm Inc. My thoughts. Of course it’s possible. People just love to say otherwise. 🤷

I can't quite remember if this happened yet:

New York Cosmos won't sell tickets to the Red Army! 400 tickets meant for the Red Army are being released to local fans instead.

"Since the Red Army hasn't reached out to the New York Cosmos management by Sunday, September 29, 2013, the club board—working in coordination with the FBI and the USSF—has decided to release those reserved West Stand tickets to general membership, friends of the club, and the rest of the public in the Washington, D.C. area. These 400 tickets are now on sale at the club office today from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and tomorrow on game day from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM."

It would be even better if they just forced us to buy tickets directly through the club and hand over all our private info.

copperharbor02 said:Pure sarcasm, man. Of course it’s possible, but apparently the local news types insist it isn't. 🤷

Look, I overreacted. ☕ Honestly, it’s just pathetic and ridiculous to watch people bickering over who threw the damn flare first. We’ve got new legislation looming, crackdowns getting even harsher, and more people hating our guts (which, frankly, I couldn't care less about), yet here we are—one hundred posts deep debating whether this was a home game or some irrelevant nonsense elsewhere.

Who started it, who finished it, and what tools they used—honestly, I can't believe you guys are digging for conspiracy theories here. Give me a break. Riots broke out, and neither we nor you wanted that. It just happens. The front office set up that buffer zone specifically because they wanted people to get used to sitting in that section of the stands. As for you lot, it gave you more ticket options so you wouldn't be scattered across other sections, which would have prevented exactly what went down. This wasn't some grand scheme orchestrated by the owners. You’re all just paranoid. Seriously, go get some help.

Nobody seems to be talking about that incredible flare display by the Black Knights 🤷

It just went down. The management just set up a buffer zone because they wanted people to get used to sitting in that section. And besides, it gave you more tickets so you wouldn't be scattered all over the stadium and cause exactly what happened here. This wasn't some grand scheme by the owners. You're just being paranoid. Get some help.

And I'm sure the owner told you that himself, and we totally believe him.

They’re busy drafting laws to crack down on everyone, yet all anyone does here is debate who did what first... 🤣 It was all in the past—everyone built their careers on a shaky foundation, and now we’re just supposed to deal with our own mess moving forward? Look at that clown from the front office, look at how satisfied they are; the big shots at the league offices are just laughing off the press inquiries and the demonization of both fan groups and supporters in general. Oh, sure, now they’ll act like you can't even light a flare—it's all "zero tolerance" schemes and Margaret Thatcher-style crackdowns, threatening five years in prison for hooligans... meanwhile, if some senator's kid kills two girls while driving drunk, he'll be out in a month with his license back just because he made a "firm promise" not to drive like he's playing Grand Theft Auto again. I've lost all faith in this country. 🤮

total nonsense said:I told them—Mark Thompson2—right after the game, those fans are acting like such babies, crying for three days straight just because a couple of flares landed near the away section. They’re out here acting like we’re terrorists who blew up a hospital or something.

Look, there’s a whole fence and about 30 feet of space separating the visiting ultras from the local supporters over on the southwest side of the stadium. As far as I know, the Black Knights have never even tossed a flare toward the west stands...

Man, what a bunch of geniuses. I really gotta hand it to those reporters, especially that one article claiming the players didn't get any rest until they hit Chicago... total 1950s-era propaganda right there.

John Wood60 said:There’s just a fence and maybe ten yards separating the visiting ultras from the local casual fans over on the west side of the stadium. As far as I can tell, nothing thrown by the Black Knights has ever even made it toward the west stands...

And what kind of "experts" are you people? I have to tip my hat to Brbić and Pavasović, especially after reading that article about how the players didn't finally relax until they hit Chicago... Pure fiction.

The West side hasn't been targeting us for a long time now. ☕

When the Black Knights lit their flares, a flare also went up in the section reserved for our families—the women, kids, seniors, and those with disabilities
. It’s a simple matter of logic: the flares were coming from the group near our supporters' section, because there's no way the families were the ones lighting them. End of story.

Ethan Cook said:The West never really aimed anything our way back in the day ☕

Look, I’m not a hardcore fanatic, so I haven't spent tons of time in San Francisco (last time was maybe 2006, if I recall right)—and honestly, I’ve never been the one getting pelted with rocks from the stands—but man, we were constantly getting targeted by fans traveling all the way from Savannah to San Francisco...

I'm not making any excuses for people throwing projectiles, though. No way.

Brian Newman38 said:Look—when the away fans lit their flares, they ended up lighting them right in our section (where all the families, kids, seniors, and people with disabilities sit). It’s pretty simple logic—there had to be
members of the visiting crew right up against our stands because let's face it, moms and little kids aren't out there lighting flares. End of story.

If you were actually at Wrigley Field, you probably saw exactly who was sitting in those seats and who ended up getting hit or hurt. Just check any clip on YouTube—you'll hear nothing but women's voices, and just look at the photos of the elderly folks there... That flare was lit on the floor in the home section before the first two even flew over from your side of the stadium.

Honestly, you guys are just being difficult—I’d call someone a total moron if I didn't want to stay positive—but seriously, you don't even realize how deep this goes or how much is actually at stake here.

Douglas Martinez3 said:You guys are both total losers... honestly, it’s like you don't even realize how deep of a hole we've already dug for ourselves.

Good grief... Seriously? Let's just shut ourselves down before someone else does it for us. Let's just stop lighting fires so they don't come along and ban us from lighting them in the first place.

Carol Harris7 said:Frankly, we couldn't care less how strong the competition is. You and the Boisers act like it’s some kind of miracle that the club keeps teetering on the edge of ruin without actually falling over—instead, we just come back stronger. Ever since we started relying on our homegrown talent, you’ve been waiting for us to drop out of the league, yet here we are, sitting right at the top. You wake up every morning praying for our downfall, hoping we'll finally collapse, and then you act shocked when we're still standing tall. Well, suck it.

I haven't read such a massive pile of nonsense in a long time. If you had just said "the Yankees fans" when referring to the opposition... Honestly, I think if someone ran a poll among us, most people would admit they actually want to see the club win the championship.
