Rangers Supporters Club

slylynx3, man, you are way too obsessed with your own hype—you’re basically just trying way too hard to be some legendary forum tough guy. Honestly, it’s kind of sad because, let’s face it, nobody is actually reading your posts anyway.

It’s common knowledge that back in the day, everyone was just piling into old vans to head out from places like Chicago, and back then, your local stadium crowds were absolute jokes—just tiny, pathetic numbers. Our attendance didn't even start seeing a real climb until around 2008, and since then, we've consistently filled up at least two whole sections.

So, if you're so sure about what you're saying, why don't you post some actual photos from back then? Aside from those weird agent-heavy seasons back in '05 and '06, you guys don't have any proof to back up your claims.

Since we reclaimed our original name back in 2000 and moved past those legal restrictions, our performance has been consistently strong, both at home and away... barring a few rare blunders. Even after that controversial 2005/2006 season marking our 20th anniversary, and despite certain shifts within the group, we have maintained a high standard, occasionally hindered only by outside forces. I am not sure what your point is.

I didn't post these photos to mock anyone. My goal was to show the younger fans that every supporter group experiences highs and lows; it is just the nature of things and nothing to be ridiculed for. In five years, who knows? Who can say how the Ultras will look then, or how the rival groups will fare.

Ups and downs, good seasons and bad—these are inherent to any fan organization. There is no reason to make fun of it.

Man, I don't even feel like listing out all the specific examples right now...
but seriously, just take a look at those photos from 2007, 2008, and then 2009—the difference is night and day. It's like looking at two different worlds.
So, what actually accounts for such massive shifts?

Jonathan Lewis3 said:slylynx3, you're way too full of yourself... you're just acting like some typical internet troll. it's not happening because honestly, nobody even reads your stuff anyway.

It’s common knowledge that back in the day, everyone was just piling into old vans driving out of Chicago, and back then, your little fan clubs really took hits... turnout was just terrible. Our numbers didn't actually start picking up until around 2008, and since then, we've consistently had at least two full sections filled up.

Why don't you just post some old photos from back then? Aside from those weird seasons in '05 and '06, you guys could totally prove it with pictures...

Well, I'd actually love to be a forum troll if you'd just let me... 😢

Jonathan Lewis3 said:Why is there such a massive gap?

Because the biggest enemy of any fan movement is the fans themselves. Then come the establishment, politics, the police, the media, and the corrupt owners. (If you catch my drift).

Listen, you gotta hear what San Diego is saying—and I’m not talking about those pathetic excuses from Mamić this or Mamić that 😉

Jonathan Lewis3 said:That’s what you should be hearing, rather than all these mindless excuses about Mamić this or Mamić that. 😉

Look, the fact remains that Mamić is a massive issue and he's caused a lot of things to fall apart. But, if the fans were just a bit smarter, more realistic, more principled, more organized, more unified... there isn't a Mamić out there who could dismantle a group like the BBB. He isn't the sole culprit here. There are other factors involved, such as human malice, corruption, treachery, ego trips, a lack of morals and character, and pure greed.

It isn't just happening here. Some top-tier European ultra groups (for example: Fossa dei Leoni) collapsed not because of their own mistakes, but specifically because of people possessing the exact negative traits I just listed.

You’re calling six penalties for Real Madrid in just the first seven Circles—you're basically handing the title to the competition (Red Sox, Seattle, St. Louis Cardinals) during those "minor" matchups, and just like that, the league is decided. To make matters worse, the Red Sox are claiming they have witnesses who actually heard Vučemilović shouting about a penalty for Bebeku three separate times.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cJj3...ature=youtu.be
Spread this video everywhere, because you won't see a single American news outlet touching this!

Look, you guys seem to forget that you’re essentially sabotaging your own championship runs every single year—it's become a bit of a pattern, hasn't it? You stumble, you choke, and suddenly the title is slipping through your fingers—just like that mess against San Francisco today. It isn't just a one-off fluke, either; this has been the recurring theme for the last few seasons. You can't expect to stay at the top when you keep tripping over your own feet.

mistysurfer19 said:I mean, you guys basically throw away the championship every single year because you choke—like what happened today against San Francisco. It’s been happening constantly for the last few years, honestly.

Oh, just go ahead and skip right past the fan forums at the start of the season, zig-zag all over the place, and just stop commenting on anything else. You absolute idiot!

William Turner28 said:Ever since we reclaimed the Real Madrid name back in 2000 and finally stepped out of the shadows, our presence has been pretty much solid—both at home and on the road—with the occasional stumble. Everything was steady until that weird agent-heavy season in 2005/2006 when we were celebrating our 20th anniversary. Since then, despite some shifts within the group, we've maintained a high standard, barring the odd instance where some outside force intervened. I’m honestly not sure what point you're trying to make here.

Look, I didn't post those photos just to mess with anyone. I was more trying to show the younger crowd that every single supporter group goes through cycles of highs and lows. It's just how things work, and there's really no reason to mock it. In five years? Who knows. People come and go, and who's to say how the NFL Ultras will look versus how the BBB will look by then.

Ups and downs, good seasons and bad—it’s all part of being a fan group. There's no need to make fun of that.

Exactly... and there's actually a funny little connection between our two groups, seeing as those coincided with the Red Sox championship years.

We need to get this video out there, because I honestly don't think a single American news outlet is going to touch this story!

Man, what have you done to me? It’s only 7:00 AM, and after watching this video for just ten minutes, I already feel like I need to take a sedative just to deal with the look on this guy's face. Where do these people even come from? Seriously, if you watch at the 9:52 mark, you can hear the king himself say that everything eventually settles into place where it belongs.🙂🙂
I mean, honestly, this kind of thing doesn't happen anywhere else in the world; maybe we should all just pack up and colonize Mars instead.

There’s honestly nothing like this anywhere else in the world. We really should just colonize Mars.

You aren't using that username for nothing. 😁

The best part for me is how he thinks he’s doing us a favor by pointing out Milićev's miss, acting like some high court judge. Like we wouldn't have known. And then there's that whole vibe of "screw you guys, you can't even hit an open net, so blame the refs." Just typical internet trolls.
little Srebrić. It's all the same old story. And don't even get me started on his claim that they don't record the referees' conversations during the broadcast. ☕
Brbić seems pretty direct and calm enough.

Look, I didn't post these photos just to mock you guys. I was trying to show the younger crowd that every single supporter group goes through peaks and valleys; it’s just the nature of the beast. It's nothing to laugh about. In five years, who knows? Who's still around, who isn't? We have no idea what the NFL Ultras will look like then, or how the BBB boys will be holding up.

Ups and downs, good years and bad—that's part of the DNA of any fan group. There's no need to make fun of it.

Maybe those kids are looking your way, but don't try to gaslight the rest of us with your endless list of "great showings." If we're being honest, the BBB could have posted dozens of similar photos from those same years; the difference is, you don't have a full gallery covering the entire season leading up to 2005/2006 like we do. My memory is pretty sharp, and I distinctly remember during that 2000/2001 season—when Real Madrid got crushed 0-4 by Varteks—there were literally ten different banners out saying "Respect Our Symbols." There were plenty of examples like that, but hey, you just don't have the photographic evidence. And I'm talking strictly about your home games here.
If you take it as a fact that the highest attendance numbers always happen on the supporter stands, anyone looking at the stats would conclude that you guys were the massive crowd and the NFL Ultras were just a handful between 2000 and that legendary 2005/2006 season.

Before I head to bed, I just have to ask you idiots... where have you been all these years? The league has been rigged since day one. You show up to Washington, D.C. for the derby this year and start celebrating missed shots and bad passes, even though we all know the whole thing is fixed. Are you guys actually sane?

🤦 I don't even know who's stupider here, the guy who wrote that or me for even replying! Like, how is the Red Sox to blame for this? It's our money that's the problem. We're gonna keep cheering them on forever, you know, that whole "we'll never turn our backs" vibe. So just beat it already, you jerk. I hope it freezes solid up there...

Casey Gomez3 said:Before I call it a night, I just have to ask you all—you absolute morons—where have you been all these years? This league has been rigged since its very inception. You show up to a derby in Washington, D.C. this season and start celebrating missed shots or suspicious passes, when we all know deep down the whole thing is a setup. Are you people actually sane?

We went to Canada.

It’s a tragedy. Honestly, nothing else. This guy Kukić—who, by the way, if you recall back in the old days, was always calling games for the big powerhouse teams, and we all know how much they pulled the strings with refs—he acts like he’s living in a penthouse suite at the Hilton. Meanwhile, these other two are talking about the lobby of some cheap hostel. It's classic. These are typical responses from people who simply refuse to face the truth. He just spins the same story in circles. I feel like he could sit there for ten hours straight, spinning nonsense, without ever blushing from the sheer shame of what he's saying.

William Turner28, here is your answer

George Lewis27 said:Maybe you younger guys are peeking in, but don't mess with the rest of us with all your supposedly great releases. Those few photos you posted could have been found on BBBrutalac's boards back in the day too. The difference is, for those years up to 2005/2006, you don't have a photo gallery covering the entire season, whereas we do. My memory serves me well. I recall at the Dinamo - Varteks game during the 2000/2001 season—which we lost 0:4—there were literally ten banners reading "respect our symbols." There were plenty of examples like that, but you just don't have the pictures. I am speaking strictly about home games here.

Well, I did mention in my own post regarding our releases that there were some failures.🤷

William Turner28 said:After the name Dinamo was restored in 2000 and we emerged from the underground, our releases were consistently good (both home and away... with a few exceptions when things went wrong)
