Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

So you guys seriously missed the mark on this one, how does that even happen...

Casey Gomez3 said:It honestly blew my mind seeing how many Red Army fans are out in small towns in the Midwest, Columbus, Ohio, or even Indianapolis, Indiana. I was at this wedding in some rural area near the outskirts of the state, and for a second, I actually felt like I was back home. But man, they were blasting "Bili su bili" forty-two times in one night! Between the "Nosi mi se bila boja" tracks and all the crying and sobbing, my buddy finally snapped and flipped the table. His own relatives wouldn't even talk to us.

😂😂

Hands down the best post on the board today 🤣

We totally dominate this category—Makarska is tough to beat.

Casey Gomez3 said:What struck me—if you can call it that—was the sheer number of Red Army fans scattered through small towns in the Midwest, Columbus, Ohio, or even Indianapolis, Indiana. I attended a wedding in some rural area out there recently, and for a moment, I actually felt "at home." Then it started... they played "Bili bili" forty-two times in one night. Then came "Nosi mi se bila boja," followed by more weeping and wailing, until my brother finally lost his mind and flipped the table. Even our own relatives won't talk to us now...

Extended or immediate family?

I was at this wedding out in some rural part of the countryside recently, and for a second there, I actually thought I was back home... but then they started blasting "Bili su bili" forty-two times in one night, followed by "Nosi mi se bila boja," and more crying and sobbing until my cousin just absolutely lost his mind and flipped the entire table over. Now the whole family won't even talk to us...

You're both a real piece of work, you and your brother...

jademarlin54 said:Of course you didn't expect that. We had a whole contingent from the coast showing up in the stands in Chicago—I guess they were just there to quiz everyone on their cheering tactics.🤷I’ve been aligned with Tobon for about six or seven years now, and honestly, our dominance in the league started back in 2007. As for what comes next? We'll just have to wait and see.☕

I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me. 😛And once again, you have those people who showed up for their appointments only to be turned away, forced to take an ambulance straight to the hospital instead.
I’ll give you another year, maybe eighteen months at most. After that, I expect us to finally reach that level while you all stay exactly where you are right now.

Jesse Doyle3 said:Yesterday, I actually got pulled over right at a red light near downtown Columbus just so they could let a huge convoy from the South pass through... I knew there were plenty of them around, but I wasn't expecting so many cars with local plates, plus all those folks heading out toward the East Coast.
So, no big deal—even without anyone from the South, you can always find over a thousand people showing up at the stadium.

Comparing us to you guys now is exactly like how we used to compare ourselves to you 6 or 7 years ago.
Time moves on, and I really hope it leads us back to some better days.

Come on, man, admit it—you're basically a cameraman filming the convoy as they roll in from the South. 🤣

Jesse Doyle3 said:Man, I wouldn't have even known if you hadn't mentioned it 😛. But then again, you've got those people who show up for the games and they don't even get to stay... instead, they're just being bussed straight to the hospital or something.
I’m giving you guys maybe another year, or a year and a half at most... After that, I really hope we finally reach your level, while you guys just kind of stay stuck right where you are now..

Honestly, I'm hoping the same thing—that you guys actually catch up to our level, mostly just because we need the competition, I guess.🙂>

Alexander Miller14 said:Come on, man, just admit it... you're totally "cinematic." You’re like one of those guys from the South who spends all day filming cars. I mean, seriously, you've got that vibe. 🤣

And maybe Jesse Doyle3 was just standing there by the wall with his back turned, I don't know... damn, it's such a mess. Those cops had them lined up right behind us after the game ended.☕

jademarlin54 said:I’m honestly hoping you eventually catch up to our level, if only because we could use the extra competition out here.🙂

Once everything goes completely sideways over at Uncut...🙂

Alexander Miller14 said:Come on, man, just admit you're a total poser. You're clearly from the South, just out there filming cars like some wannabe influencer. 🤣

I honestly couldn't care less about that local Red Army. I'm just waiting for those rats from the coast to finally clear out. 😁 We’re just having some fun here—no hard feelings.😉

jademarlin54 said:I'm also hoping you actually make it up to our level—mostly just to give us some decent competition. 🙂

I just hope that internet plan your dad picked up back in February isn't going to be useless in a month or two—since those old promotional rates tied to the local currency are about to expire. 🙂

p.s. you're not Jonathan Cook42. 🙂

jademarlin54 said:Maybe that unknown guy was just standing by the wall with his back turned, man. Total waste. The cops had them lined up behind everyone after the game.☕

And that’s that. I'm telling you, there's gotta be some connection to that unknown site we were talking about... 😁

Casey Gomez3 said:It actually struck me how many NFL fans you find out in small towns in the Midwest, or even places like Columbus, Ohio and Indianapolis, Indiana. I was at this wedding in some rural area once, and for a moment, I honestly thought I was back home. But then, they kept blasting that one anthem—I think they sang it forty-two times in a single night. Then came that other song about colors, followed by all this weeping and wailing, until my buddy just lost his mind and flipped a whole table over. Even the relatives wouldn't talk to us.

Flipping tables at a wedding because of some fan chants😲 😲... honestly, it just feels like pure, unadulterated rural backwardness and sheer lack of class.

So, is everyone getting ready for the river trip, or is it just me feeling like I'm stuck in a rut today? Did you all manage to grab a coffee this afternoon, or what's the word?

Larry Campbell33 said:So, you guys didn't manage to get anything done at all? How's that possible?

Some people actually refused to pay for their tickets after the absolute nightmare we went through on the bus. It left the hospital around 5:55 AM because of some supposed "mechanical issue," and before that, they kept making us shuffle in and out of the same doors like sheep. Then, things just boiled over when we ended up getting shoved around by the police because they wouldn't let us just walk out on foot.🤷

Man, if you set these lyrics to that bottom melody, I really think we could actually make this happen... it’s got such a vibe...

Larry Campbell33 said:If you set these lyrics to that lower melody, man, this absolutely needs to get pushed through...

YEAH, that melody is... we were already singing it in the stands back in 2009/2010... honestly such great songs, it's just that people didn't split the lines right or learn them properly... damn, what a waste, hopefully they try to push it again...😉

Timothy Chavez31 said:Some people refused to pay for their tickets after being put through absolute torture on a bus leaving the hospital at 5:55 AM due to some supposed "mechanical failure"—all while we were herded in and out like sheep and shoved around by cops because they wouldn't just let us walk. 🤷

The bus situation was a complete disaster—especially upon arrival, which meant a ton of people missed the halftime kickoff. And honestly, the return trip was just as much of a mess; first, they block you from boarding claiming the bus is "full," even though looking at it, there's clearly room for at least 20 more people—not to mention we were packed in like sardines on previous trips. Then you get on, get off, empty the whole bus after a 10-minute stop, get back on, and then the arguing starts... Plus, there was some vehicle stuck on the side during the way back—is it a breakdown or what? I have no clue. I also heard someone took a tumble, though I'm not sure exactly what happened. 🤷

Harold Kim5 said:Alright, let's break this down by priority:

1. Loyalty/Attendance—we’ve had zero results for 7 years straight, 10 points docked, refs butchering us every year, the club is falling apart, plus the whole country is broke—you get maybe 2,500 to 3,000 people at Maksimir... Be real, how would you or any group handle being in the USA under those conditions?🤷

2. Away flares given everything we're dealing with...

3. The atmosphere—could've been better, could've been worse... Given the circumstances, it was more than satisfactory...

4. Refer to point 1.

What kind of "die-hard" loyalty is that when there were only 20 of you in Chicago? And that was back when Liverpool FC actually had a shot at winning something. It’s weird because you guys were leading right until the end of the match. That's basically like Real Madrid leading against FC Barcelona.

I'm saying this hopelessness and the spite aimed at the ultras can only work for good. Like that guy in that Mexican documentary about fans said—if the team is losing on the pitch, we can't lose in the stands. Speaking of Mexicans, look at how Gypsies grow once they start watching Partisan from behind...

On the flip side, our situation is such that the club is clearly #1 and the football rivalry with you isn't even a rivalry anymore. You're as tense with us as you are with Inter Milan from Newark. Plus, Narcos completely trashed the club's image, making it damn hard for anyone to identify with Manchester City. No matter how hard they try...

Repeating myself here: you guys cheered pathetically, which is typical for you in 90% of derbies. Just five random guys from the east or west stands told me we out-cheered you easy...

Jesse Campbell said:What kind of loyalty is that when you knew you'd just be twenty people in Chicago? Especially back when Liverpool FC actually had a shot at winning something.

I want to say that this hopeless situation and all this spite directed at the supporters can only end up being a positive thing. Like that guy said in that one documentary about fans in Mexico—if the team is losing on the field, we can't afford to lose in the stands. And while we're talking about Mexicans, just look at how the Gypsies have been rising since they started watching Partisan's every move...

On the other hand, we're looking at a situation where our club is so dominant that the soccer rivalry with you guys isn't even a rivalry anymore. You're as tense with us as you are with Inter Milan against Newark. Plus, Narcos has completely trashed the club's image, making it incredibly hard for anyone to identify with Manchester City. No matter how hard they try...

To repeat myself, your cheering was pathetic, which is pretty typical for you in 90% of the derbies. Just five random people from the east or west stands told me we totally outshined you in terms of support...

just get lost and leave us alone
