Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

It’s been 20 years since that Atlantic-Pacific vs. Trieste game

Pretty sure that was the beginning of the end for our strongest Black Knights generation.

(Looks like Columbus from Puyallup is in the shot)

think this definitely belongs to the ode

EVIL SHIP

We’re down by twenty in the legs—hoping for twice that much recovery.

Even YouTube isn't what it used to be, I guess. It feels like we might actually have to go back to trading burned CDs and old VHS tapes just to find anything decent.☕

You think it’s because of those audio issues we’ve been having

Larry Campbell33 said:I guess you mean because of those audio issues

yeah 🙂

And apparently, YouTube is starting to censor stuff—he says they won't even let him upload anymore.

Keith Brown80 said:And then there's that whole thing where YouTube is supposedly starting to censor stuff, so he can't even get his uploads through.

Yeah, I know... that's why he got hit with the penalty, I guess..

What is happening with the audio?

So here we go, Los Angeles Galaxy $27 getting slapped with fines for pyrotechnics and smoking at Belle, while Los Angeles FC gets a free pass because it’s a tournament played under the watchful eye of the USSF. Makes total sense, right? 🙏

"Unfortunately, I heard those ugly shouts too. It made me feel terrible and helpless. These individuals end up hurting their own club and all the other decent Los Angeles Galaxy fans. I feel bad for Belle and for my Galaxy," said James Dens.

Man, this James Dens guy is actually pretty chill. 😁

I couldn't get the video uploaded because YouTube won't allow the cheering audio, so I had to put some music over it... basically just showing off the flares instead.🙂

I’m living out East now and I still cheer, and I’ll keep traveling to away games. I don't know why you're taking this personally. The point is simple: Hajduk comes first, then the Black Knights, then...

What you just said is spot on and signed.
I wasn't insulted, and there's no reason to get offended when someone is just explaining things.
It's stupid to obsess over specific "styles" or uniforms. I think you took my comment about being an ultra too literally. Everyone who cheers and travels to away games is, in some way, an ultra. We don't need to define our relationship to the term because that's just what it means. Banners, choreographies, flares—that's always been our toolkit. We don't owe anyone an explanation for how we do things.

We aren't imitating anyone. Things change over time, just like they do in any other group. You can't ignore history. That's why the Black Knights exist—because of a massive tradition. We didn't just jump on the "ultra" bandwagon in the '80s; we were laying down the tracks long before those mass movements even started spreading globally.
The year 1950 says it all.

I honestly think that was the beginning of the end for the strongest generation of the Black Knights.

(Pretty sure that's Columbus from Pujanka in the photo)

Man, how I loved Atlantic... almost as much as I loved Hajduk.
The Atlantic-Youth championship final—I remember they played it at that tiny pool.
To be honest, I didn't give a damn about the venue; there were maybe 800 or 900 people there.
If they had used a decent, professional water polo arena, there would have been 10,000 people in attendance.

Here’s something a bit different—not exactly your typical fare, but worth a look.

Top-tier stuff!

While we’re all busy obsessing over the ultras, Vinko Coc, and all that other nonsense
the club is actually falling apart at the seams

For God's sake, just open a damn bank account.
How many clubs have actually been kept afloat through nothing but financial handouts from their fans? 🙂

Jonathan Adams98 said:Just open a damn savings account already.
I mean, how many clubs have actually been saved by fans chipping in cash like that? 🙂

🙏🙏🙏

They’ve always been a powerhouse

happy birthday to the most legendary Black Knights towel out there
