Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

Timothy Barnes8 said:Man, I didn't miss a thing—I've got ears, alright? But when we called out those USSF losers, all they gave us was a six-second response. Total joke.

And what about our guys drinking that stuff? Guess you're suddenly against that too... Is that also "against" us now?

Ryan Lee51 said:20,000???

So I was scrolling through CNN earlier today, and honestly, even I thought that number sounded a bit inflated. Like, way too high. One site over here claims it was closer to 16,000 but then this other outlet says it was about 18,000. http://www.hrsport.net/vijesti/43661...-junak-derbija My money is on somewhere between 15,000 and 18,000 fans in the stands.

Douglas Fisher2 said:And what about those local fans of ours? You're getting soaked over there... Is that also against you guys?

We didn't hear a damn word about it, man. If anyone actually heard anything, they would've brought it up. They wouldn't be acting like total cowards and staying silent.

We were out there screaming at those city guys while you all were busy cheering on the Collapse, and honestly, it’s just the same old story—you’d see the exact same thing from the Delis and Geobari, or the Paokare and Super 3, and I can't even count how many other groups would have done the same... it feels more like temporary madness than how things actually stand in reality. Like, I remember when we were out there with the East Side, shouting our hearts out against Zenit right after they smashed that goal in, and man, the East Side is basically all about the beer culture, so half the people over there don't even know the first thing about our historical political movements, but the core of our group and yours? We actually have that true supporter consciousness... plus, let's be real, there's just way more of us, which makes it so much harder to keep a lid on things...

jademarlin54 said:It’s always the same story—our numbers are basically your fever dreams. We show up right when things look bleakest, like when we're sitting at negative ten degrees and everyone knows the world will probably end before Hajduk actually clinches a title. Honestly, we’re just built different. Nobody expected this kind of turnout given the circumstances, and I bet they’re feeling pretty insecure after seeing the South Stand in full force; they definitely went quiet after that. Our atmosphere was incredible. I honestly don't get why the cops won't step in; we're out here tearing up seats, setting off pyros, and putting on heavy shows, but nothing. It’s like everyone is just too intimidated to do anything about it.🤷 A quick word on the BBB fans. Look, as a fan, I respect them, but man, they have some serious inferiority complexes when it comes to us. Just imagine the level of insecurity you have to possess to bring up the Black Knights during a birthday celebration—they basically admitted we’re untouchable, so thanks for that. P.S. When the match paused, everyone was chanting "USSF f***ers, you ruined football," but it takes like 3,000 people to get in sync, so we couldn't pull it off instantly, obviously.

It would be great if you’d just stop posting, because there are people out there who actually associate you with the Black Knights.
Anyway, the cheering was absolutely insane...
The only thing I’ll concede is that we were definitely chanting against Markovic and the ESA...

But did you hear those cowards from New York?
Timothy Barnes8 posted that a few pages back, which is exactly why this whole debate even started.

Check out this video 😉

Christian Jones said:Personally, I think the derby attendance was higher than expected—20,000 people for an MLS league with this level of play, especially considering how much ticket prices have spiked lately, particularly for the north stands.

Black Knights: Solid turnout, maybe 2,500 to 3,000 folks... cheering was good at times, though there were moments you guys just went quiet, not sure why, even before those two goals went in. I was really hoping to hear you guys backing us up when Bebek caused that stoppage, since we're all on the same side, right? The flares looked great as usual, just don't get why you feel the need to wreck hundreds of seats every single game, only about 800 this time 😕

Boys: Someone's out here spreading rumors that our march was only 400 people 🤣 😂, just check the clips on the news sites, it was closer to 3,000... but whatever☕. The chanting could've been louder in spots, but once we really got going, especially in the second half, it felt awesome to me. Flares were top notch, and I won't even get into the messages, everyone interprets them differently.
Catch ya at the next derby...

nothing beats the rush of trashing our biggest rival's property☕

Larry Campbell33 said:SAŠA SUŠEC UNO DI NOI

Just as much garbage as Prasicko. One minute they’re talking trash right here on the forum, and the next, they’ll be sucking up to the higher-ups because they know one wrong move from the disgruntled crowd could see them blacklisted from both major networks in the country.

MARKOVIC, JUST QUIT ALREADY!
🙂

@ jademarlin54, you have about as much connection to the Black Knights as I do—if that’s even a thing.
As far as fan atmosphere goes, the derby was just okay; I've seen much better matches, and definitely worse.
Moving on...

brightsurfer26 said:Man, did you hear those big-city cowards?
That's what Savjest wrote a few pages back, and honestly, that's why this whole debate blew up in our faces.

I heard that too, along with all that crap about how we love the local corrupt politicians. ☕

Edit: I'll go check out the video. 😁
Every single time someone starts posting this kind of mindless garbage, we need to just pin Melissa Sanchez7's post right at the top.

Larry Campbell33 said:We were screaming "kill the city boy" while you guys were celebrating New York City, and that’s just how it goes. It's the same thing Chicago fans, John Doe, John Doe, The Big Three—whoever—would do. It's pure madness right now, not reality. Like when we were out there with the East Side yelling stuff against Zenit because they scored a goal. The East Side loves their beer, but half those people don't even know what politics are about. Our core supporters actually have a supporter mindset. Plus, there's just more of us, so it's harder to control.

Give it a rest and stop fighting for nothing. Fine, you write some decent stuff, but then you spout total nonsense... saying there's too many of you to control... look, as long as there are boys and Black Knights, there will always be trash talk about numbers. One side is worse one year, the other side takes over the next, simple as that. But here is the constant truth: whether five hundred, three thousand, or six thousand show up, our fans make up ninety percent of the stands. That is what makes us different from you, and it's what I love most about us. You guys? Your stands will always be full of posers. You can't control them, and you can't get them to actually care.

swiftmarlin72 said:It’d be awesome if you just stopped posting, honestly, because there are people out here who totally lump you in with the Black Knights.
Anyway, the cheering was absolute garbage...
The only thing true is that we were chanting against Markovic and HESA...

Look, I don't care who you are or what you represent, okay? My post was meant to be provocative because, man, you drive me absolutely insane—like, a million times over. If you compare how we cheered last year versus yesterday, I mean, there were more of us last year, but yesterday wasn't actually bad... but hey, you're one of those Black Knights fans, right? And seriously, why are you sucking up to the BBB so much online? What are you even hoping to get out of it, some kind of weird ego boost or something?🤷

Honestly, how many idiots are we dealing with here? mjućilavakomhawk, what’s the deal with these games getting interrupted lately? I mean, what happens when the pitch actually gets swarmed by flares... an interruption is probably for the best... isn't it?

I honestly wish I could give you some kind of actual response, but I just can't bring myself to deal with these typical types, you know, the kind of people Daniel Barrett11 and valsimot usually act like...
but there's really just one thing I need to get off my chest and say to you...
YOU ARE A TOTAL CLUSTERMESS

Daniel Barrett11 said:I heard that same nonsense about how we all loved those old local politicians☕

Edit: I'll check out the video😁
Every single time these mindless posts start popping up, we really ought to just pin one of Melissa Sanchez7's comments to the top.

During the halftime break or while the game was actually playing? 😕 There was some of that during the match, but I honestly can't recall if it happened during the break, and besides, it isn't even in the footage. Savjest wrote that when people called us losers by the USSF, we responded with some classic Chicago attitude.😕

Melissa Sanchez7 As I was saying, Jesse Doyle3 mentioned...
I would certainly offer some sort of rebuttal or perhaps a thoughtful response at this juncture, but I find myself quite unwilling to engage in those typical, mindless back-and-forths that one sees so often from people like Daniel Barrett11. And honestly, it’s just like Valsimot anyway.
Honestly, all you really need to do is write one single thing.
You are nothing more than a massive, disorganized mess.

Believe me when I say this, the man is absolutely out of his mind. 🤣🤣

brightsurfer26 said:Is this something that happens during the halftime break, or does it occur right in the middle of the game? 😕 It happened during the match, I suppose, but honestly, looking back at the stoppage, it wasn't even that significant—and you certainly won't see any evidence of it on the video replay. Savjest actually wrote that when the USSF tried to come for us, we responded with that classic, aggressive attitude you only get from people in Chicago. 😕

Listen, I remember back when that second strike happened—someone decided to start acting like a total clown and leading a bunch of mindless followers off a cliff, and the whole thing just imploded instantly. Before you could even blink, everyone was out there screaming at the top of their lungs about how much they loathed the USSF. It’s always the same cycle of chaos. 🤷

jademarlin54 said:Look, who I am or what I am doesn't even matter here. My last post was only provocative because my brothers have been getting on my nerves for the millionth time lately. If you compare how we were cheering last year when there were actually more of us to the energy yesterday, it was pretty solid, but hey, you're a die-hard Black Knights fan, right? By the way, why the hell are you sucking up to the BBB online so much? What are you hoping to get out of it, some kind of pat on the head or something?🤷

Yeah, I definitely got screwed over.

@MLB

I see someone’s been keeping up with the papers. 😍

You’re pulling that viewer count straight from the Democratic Party report—20,000.

And that number about the destroyed seats from John Doe? 800. That's a typo on their part because John Doe actually said there were 80 totally trashed ones and maybe a hundred partially damaged. Honestly, who cares about the distinction? Every single one needs replacing anyway.

By the way, regarding the turnout, the "centaurs" tallied 11,600.

My own estimate puts it at 13,500. 🙂

swiftmarlin72 said:Yeah, I definitely took one in the ass.

I don't think you did.😁
