Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

The atmosphere at the derby was fantastic....
We
The turnout was pretty wild considering we were down 10 degrees and playing so poorly; I honestly don't know where people find the energy.. maybe around 2,500 people
As for the cheering, we could have done much better. Not sure what went wrong, but even when we took the lead, you could hear people grumbling under their breath...
The pyrotechnics were top-notch and looked great paired with the new flags
Those new flags look amazing—huge props to the guys who made them. They definitely weren't sleeping through the winter to get those finished...

Boys:
Given how things stand right now, that turnout is actually quite realistic
The flares were great... it’s nice to see someone lighting something up once a year, whether at home or away. In my opinion though, it would be better not to toss them onto the turf and just leave them on that dark side of the stands instead..
Regarding your birthday message: there's a major downside here. To be honest, neither I nor anyone else really understands what kind of compromises you're making or where the pride went, especially considering what we all stood for just a year ago. Who's running the agency now? Who's leading you? It's hard to see any sense of pride left... and then you start talking about complexes, yet you can't even celebrate your own anniversary without bringing us into it

I find it hard to believe this machine is still running; no matter how many times you hit it, it stays on its feet.... Bebek, have you no shame? And I'm not just talking about that penalty, but that weird stoppage too...

p.s. I love giving out ratings 🙂

Honestly, seeing those numbers for the derby was better than I expected. 20,000 people showing up for an MLS league with this level of play... and don't even get me started on how they jacked up the ticket prices, especially for the North Stand.

Black Knights: You guys had a solid turnout, maybe 2,500 to 3,000 people. There were moments where the chanting was great, but then there were stretches where you just went dead silent... I don't get it. And not even after we scored, but even before that. I was really counting on you guys to step up when Bebek was stalling the game, since we're all pulling for the same thing, right? The flares looked good as usual, but man, I don't understand why you feel the need to wreck hundreds of seats every single game. This time it was only 800...😕

Boys: I see someone's out here spreading lies saying our march was only 400 people 🤣 😂. Just check the videos on the news sites again—it was closer to 3,000, but whatever ☕. The cheering could’ve been louder at times, but once we really started making noise, especially in the second half, I thought it was spot on. The pyro was awesome. As for the banners... I won't even go there, because clearly everyone interprets them differently.
Catch you at the next derby...

Anonymous said:What are you even trying to say here? Just because Lekic didn't lead the charge, it doesn't count? 😂
That’s exactly the point—as a group, you guys are totally insecure... I mean, it’s not about Lekic or anyone else, because nobody can instill any actual fan pride in you when your massive inferiority complex is practically radiating off you 😉

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT COMPLEXES! 🤣

hiddencyclist5 said:AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
TALK ABOUT ISSUES! YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES WITH THE ISSUES! 🤣

I can't believe you actually have the nerve to deny it 🤣

Christian Jones said:Honestly, if you ask me, that scoreline in the derby was way higher than anyone actually expected. 20.000 With the state of the MLS right now and the absolute garbage quality of football we're seeing on the pitch—not to even mention those ridiculous ticket prices they’ve hiked up, especially for the North Stand—it’s honestly getting impossible to justify.

Black Knights: Look, seeing 2,500 to 3,000 of you out there is a solid number, and there were stretches where the atmosphere was actually decent, but man, there were times when you guys just went dead silent. I have no clue why, especially since you stayed quiet even before we scored our first two goals. Honestly, I was counting on you guys to back us up when the game got interrupted by Bebek, because let’s be real, we’re all pulling for the same outcome here, right? The flares and the pyrotechnics were predictably great, but I truly don't get this obsession you have with smashing hundreds of seats every single match—this time you only managed to wreck about 800. 😕

Boys: I see someone somewhere decided to bullshit us by claiming we had a parade of 400 people. 🤣 😂Look, there are a few videos floating around the news sites right now, so go ahead and take another look at them. It looks like maybe 3,000 people showed up, but honestly, it doesn't even matter.☕Look, the atmosphere could've been better at certain points—I'll give you that—but once we really started roaring, especially during that second half, I was absolutely loving it. The flares looked incredible, too. As for the banners and messages? Honestly, I’m not even going to go there, because it's clear everyone interprets them differently.
Can't wait for the next derby. Send some good vibes my way.

20.000 ???

Benjamin Thomas2 said:One thing I don't get: why is there always this middle school level bickering (don't take it personally if you're reading this). Why is it so hard for one side to just give props to the Black Knights, who had 2,500 people show up in Washington, D.C., even though they know they can't be #1 and play like idiots? And why is it equally hard for the other side to praise BBB for putting on a good show, especially since they're cheering for a club they can't even relate to—knowing the suits in management are just celebrating along with them? Why would I trash someone who traveled 10 hours just to make it to the derby? I get that vibe, even if I've never met him, like my best man who laughs at me every time I tell him I'm heading to a game. We don't have to love each other, but we should respect each other..

Oh Frankie, stop hitting me with those old-school sentimental vibes. 😁

Look, I respect every real fan out there, even the total morons. Even on derby day, I wish every idiot nothing but the best—just not in the stands, on the street, or on the pitch. I hope he hits a massive parlay at the sportsbook that morning, his trumpet sounds perfect, his beer stays ice cold, he gets lucky at the gas station, avoids getting harassed by the cops, sneaks all his fireworks in without a hitch, passes the breathalyzer at the gate, and gets released by the PD quickly after the match. And when he finally rolls in at 6 AM, I hope his girl is waiting to give him some love in the hallway and tell him she loves him because he's a football nut. Is that enough for you?

Every fan I know falls under three "I"s. We're all irrational, infantile, and idealists. If we weren't, we wouldn't be fans, especially in this pathetic league where we're probably the only ones stupid enough to believe in any of this...

And honestly, the internet is the perfect playground for those three "I"s—to act childishly and try to tear down each other's ideals. I don't see why that's become such a taboo lately. For crying out loud, if it's considered "normal" for one fan to knock another guy's teeth out, break his jaw, or hit him with a flare, why isn't it normal to talk a little smack online?

Long live internet hooliganism! 🙂

Taking a page out of the Black Knights '86 playbook☕

It’s always the same story, honestly. Our numbers are basically their fever dreams. We show up right when we're sitting at negative ten, and let's be real, everyone knows the world will probably end before Hajduk wins the MLS title. We’re just built different, I guess. They definitely didn't expect this many of us to turn up—given everything I mentioned earlier—and they must have felt pretty intimidated after seeing the South Stand. After that, they just went totally silent. Our energy is beyond good, seriously. I don't know why the cops won't say anything, though. We're constantly testing them, tearing things up, ripping seats out, setting off pyrotechnics... it's heavy stuff, and yet nobody does a damn thing. Everyone seems terrified of us, I swear.🤷 Now, about BBB. Look, as a fan, I respect them, but man, they have some serious issues with us. Just imagine the level of insecurity you have to have to bring up the Black Knights during your own birthday celebration. It was like an indirect way of admitting we're untouchable, so, thanks for that, I guess. P.S. When there was that stoppage, people were chanting "USSF f***ers, you ruined football," but trying to get 3,000 people to stay in sync is hard, so we couldn't do it immediately, damn.

Timothy Barnes8 said:Look, I’m not even gonna get into this brainless nonsense about whether one guy's flare was framed or if the other one was just total garbage, or how some idiots in their section can't hear a damn thing from across the way.🙂

There were like three of you guys🤣 compared to our 360 us🤦.

There's something you people will never wrap your heads around: the second things go south on your side, our lot lights up and goes wild, and then those USSF hacks start blaming us for ruining the game.

Just a quick reminder of those two times we went toe-to-toe with the cops at ST while chanting "kill Purger."

Your whole "supporter identity" is a joke, but you know it too. The invasions, the schemes, the flares—in the end, you're still below our average attendance, but hey, that's just my take.
You spend weeks acting all tough online like absolute morons, only for the USSF losers to come after us with that Purger attitude. You think you're so hard? You're nothing.👍

👍

Jesse Campbell said:Look, Frankie, don't go getting all sentimental on me like it's the good old days. 😁

Look, I have nothing against any real fan, even the idiots. Even on derby day, I wish every idiot all the luck in the world—just not while they're in my section, on my street, or near my team. I hope they hit a massive parlay at the sportsbook that morning, that their trumpet actually works, their beer stays cold, and they find some quick action at a gas station. I hope the cops leave them alone, let them get through the pyrotechnics check without a hitch, and don't blow a breathalyzer at the gate. I hope the police let them head home early after the match, too. And when they finally stumble through the door at 6 AM, I hope there's a girlfriend or wife waiting to give them a little love in the hallway and tell them they're a crazy fan, but they're *their* crazy fan. Is that enough?

Every fan I know fits into the "3 Is." We’re all irrational, infantile, and idealists. Otherwise, we wouldn't be fans at all—especially not in this messed up league where we're probably the only ones dumb enough to actually believe in anything...

The internet is basically just a playground for those 3 "Is." It's where we engage in infantile bickering and try to tear down each other's ideals. I don't see why everyone has made it such a taboo lately. Honestly, if it's considered totally normal for one fan to knock someone's teeth out, break a jaw, or hit them with a flare, why is it suddenly "wrong" to poke a little fun at each other online?

Long live internet hooliganism! 🙂

👍

Anyway, hope both sides had a solid derby... how were the choreos?

Unbelievable. Even his loyalist journalists are starting to turn their backs on him...

Seriously, stop acting like total idiots. It’s nothing new—your fan life at the stadium is always fine. Same story this time. Tomorrow is Monday, business as usual, the team is thirteen points clear, and Mamic and Markovic are still firmly in control. Instead of uniting behind the media support—since these match interruptions were clearly ordered by those two, given that no flare incident even threatened the game—they call a stoppage?? That's just beyond insane.

Personally, I'm surprised by how many BBB members showed up in the North, but seeing the turnout of BBB in the East is depressing. If every single BBB member stood behind one flag during a derby—even in a crisis or when everything is falling apart—we’d have the loudest section in all of Europe.

Timothy Barnes8 said:Without getting bogged down in this mindless nonsense about whether one pyro is worth framing or if the other is just complete garbage, or how some guy on his own section can’t hear the crowd across the way, 🙂

And how there were maybe 3 of you 🤣 while we had 360 out there 🤦

There’s something you guys will never truly wrap your heads around: the second things go south on your end, the crowd on our side lights up and starts the whole "USSF bureaucrats ruined football" routine.

Just a quick reminder of those two clashes with the cops at ST when we were all chanting "kill Purger."

Your "fan consciousness" is a joke, though I suppose you already know that. The invasions, the elaborate displays, the flares—in the end, it might fall below your arbitrary average, but hey, that's just my subjective take.
You spend weeks acting like absolute idiots online, pumping yourselves up, only for the USSF hacks to come after you with that typical Purger attitude; you think you're so tough, acting all big and bad on the internet. 👍

Man, I missed you. Last night was all about shouting "USSF bureaucrats blah blah," but where was everyone? There were barely any of you there. When I walked into the stadium, I honestly thought the Boys were still in their prime, because watching you try to hoist those banners was honestly hilarious. Seriously, who actually does that? You need to go back to school to learn how to deliver a message. From the lyrics to the actual performance, it was nothing short of a comedy routine. It was like listening to some old-school anthem where everyone's just trying to keep up—"ohhhhhhh, damn it, let's try that again..."

Anonymous said:What are you even trying to say? Just because Lekic didn't lead the way, it doesn't count? 😂
That’s exactly the point, I suppose. It seems like you all suffer from this collective inferiority complex... I mean, it isn't Lekic, nor anyone else, who can instill any sense of true fan loyalty in you, when that deep-seated insecurity just radiates off you so clearly. 😉

Fine, look back at your own posts and everything will become perfectly clear regarding this whole obsession with being insecure... 😂

Jesse Campbell said:Look, Frankie, stop acting all sensitive like we’re back in the old days. 😁

Obviously, I respect every real fan out there—even the idiots. Even on derby day, I wish every single moron nothing but the best, just not while they're in the stands, on the street, or at the stadium. I hope they hit a massive parlay at the sportsbook that morning, that their horn isn't a total piece of junk, and their beer stays ice cold. I hope they get lucky at the gas station, dodge the cops as much as possible, and breeze through security without any pyrotechnics issues or blowing a breathalyzer at the gate. And when they finally stumble home at 6 AM, I hope there's a girlfriend or wife waiting to welcome them home, sweaty and filthy, ready to show some love just because he's a die-hard fanatic. Is that enough for you?

Every fan I know fits into the "3 I's." We're all irrational, infantile, and idealists. Otherwise, we wouldn't be fans, especially in this absolute mess of a league where we're probably the only ones stupid enough to actually believe in anything...

The internet is the perfect playground for those "3 I's"—a place to engage in childish bickering and try to tear down each other's ideals. Why has this become such a taboo lately? Seriously, if it's considered totally normal for one fan to knock someone's teeth out, break their jaw, or hit them with a flare, why the hell isn't it normal to poke a little fun at each other online?

Long live internet hooliganism! 🙂

It's because behind all your little jokes, there's just one massive inferiority complex, and every single post you make proves it. 🤷

ABSOLUTE MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂:r ozi:🙂

It is honestly quite fascinating to sit back and read all this bickering while one man essentially pulls all the strings behind the scenes, calling the shots, whining about penalty calls, and storming into the studio to vent his frustrations because things didn't go his way.

And frankly, I feel like you all are just getting worked up and driving each other crazy over whether there were 2,000 or 3,000 people sitting in the North or South stands. Does anyone actually care about those numbers right now? There will be plenty of time for finger-pointing later on, but at this moment, we have much more pressing issues to deal with than whether the crowd size was 2,000 or 3,000 in the stands.

Best regards.

Realistically,we are POWER.Nobody expected us to show up in these numbers for the reasons mentioned above, and they definitely developed some major complexes after looking at the South Stand—which is why they went silent right after.Our support is more than adequate. I just don't get why the cops won't react; we taunt them constantly, tear up seats whenever we feel like it, trigger pyrotechnic breaks, and put on heavy shows, yet nobody does anything.Everyone is terrified of us. 🤷 Now, a quick word on BBB. As a fan, I respect them, but man, they have serious inferiority complexes regarding us. Just imagine the level of insecurity when you're celebrating a birthday and you feel forced to bring up the Black Knights. They basically admitted thatwe are untouchable to them. So, thanks for that. P.S. When there was that stoppage, people were chanting "USSF faggots, you screwed up football," but it takes time to coordinate 3,000 people, so we couldn't do it instantly, damn it.

🤣 You guys are out of this world.🙂

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msNA5...ayer_embedded#! Just dropping this video of us here, and honestly, this is all I’ve got to say because I am seriously losing my lunch over these fake internet tough guys acting like they actually matter. Like, who cares about some random numbers or online noise when we're getting absolutely screwed over by Marković, Mamić, and the rest of that mafia crew? That’s my final word on the matter, peace out.

vividtrucker11 said:You weren't there last night when everyone was out drinking and complaining about those USSF losers. I was actually at the stadium, thinking the Boys still had some backbone left to hold up your banners, and we just laughed our heads off. Honestly, who even cares? You need to go back to school to learn how to deliver a message. From the lyrics to the performance, it was a total comedy show. It was like watching some old-school anthem—just "ohhhhhh, damn it, whatever, let's go again..."

I didn't miss anything, man. I have ears. And all you guys did to answer those USSF punks was give them six seconds of lip.

Let’s get one thing straight so you know where I stand. You had plenty of chances to work with us on things that actually mattered, but you blew it. Uh, I don't know... just typical Purger cowards. Kill Purger.😉

And what exactly are you mocking? Has anyone ever made fun of you or your crew regarding the standings? That’s always your excuse to dodge accountability. But frankly, we couldn't care less. We support a club that barely exists as it is; we chose the hard path by choice, not because it was easy. Don't worry about BBB. This weekend proved we are solid—way stronger than you think. So go ahead, keep making your little jokes...

BBB is underground. BBB has always taken the tough road while you lot act like sheep. You're just basic pop music. Respect to the guys who built this Black Knights movement over the last 6 or 7 years. Even without most people being true fans, you've somehow become the biggest group in America right now. That says everything you need to know about our scene.

Don't sweat BBB. Just watch your back and see who tries to take Hajduk away from you while you're busy playing hero against the cops and talking about "killing Purger." All this talk about bases and schemes and how loud we scream... it's a joke. In a few years, you'll be hitting your head against a wall because a handful of people ruined both the club and the group just to serve themselves.

But hey, keep laughing. Keep losing. 👍 Guba will win this fight for the club, and they'll do it the hardest way possible. We'll talk again in two years. I'm done for now.
