You really have to draw a line between the group itself and the overall mindset of the city.
The group is definitely heading in the right direction; these kids are hardcore, and I’ve got zero doubts about where they’re taking things in the near future.
What’s shifted—and what keeps shifting—is that just a few years back, the vibes in this city were completely different.
Back in the day, the neighborhoods in Chicago were an endless supply of fresh blood. You had kids who actually wanted to prove themselves, and the streets and the stands provided the perfect arena for them to show what they were made of.
Fast forward to today, and the situation is night and day. Chicago has started following the footsteps of those Western, liberal, progressive metropolises, so the current generation is rocking a totally different vibe. All you have to do is take a stroll through downtown to see that most people walking around are just feminized hipsters, punks, and basically anyone who finds football fans and everything we stand for absolutely repulsive.
Throw in the constant crackdowns from the cops and that "I'd rather not get involved" mentality that has always cursed this city, and you get exactly what you see: 20,000 people showing up for a Pride parade, while only a handful of people bother to show up at home for a game against the Red Sox...
Dammit.

Mark Edwards4 said:"Do you honestly think a single Cohort would even consider showing up in downtown Chicago to pose with their banners an hour before the game?"

What exactly does that imply—that they are superior to us or that we have failed? That one sentence tells the whole story: "an hour before" and "downtown." I don't think I need to elaborate. Everyone knows where and when they gathered, and they simply used that moment to soften the impact of the Maniacs breaking in.

What does "an hour before in the city center" mean to you specifically? Are you suggesting it carries no weight? God forbid...🤦

boldtiger7 said:What kind of people are you talking about? These thousands you mention? We had a full North Stand, but those massive crowds are just a myth created by nostalgics dreaming of full bellies and thousands of Bad Boys. Aside from those two seasons back in 2006-2007, our numbers have stayed pretty much the same. Stop creating myths. We have a steady base of people who travel to away games now. As for those of you who flake out after one game because "it's not the same" or "they aren't singing the right songs," stop making excuses.

Once you actually start contributing, helping the group, and stop being selective about which matches you attend, then you can talk down to people. Understand that there is no strong group without commitment and sacrifice.

If you want to prove yourselves, thank God there is plenty of time and space to do that elsewhere, and an internet forum certainly isn't the place.

What on earth are you talking about? There are half as many people left. Those bastards tore the whole group apart. Mamic is laughing and mocking us in NYC as if we support him rather than being his sworn enemies. The Delis stormed the city last year, something that definitely wouldn't have happened before, despite this tactical nonsense of them showing up in suits and briefcases.

And I go to one game and skip five?
Man, I’ve been going for over 20 years. When I see what this has turned into and the mindset of this new generation, I don't feel like messing around or risking my mortgage, my wife, and my kids. For someone like that kid from the Ultras, I wouldn't care about paying a fine or getting a police report, but that spirit just doesn't exist here anymore.

Look, I attended for over 20 years, but seeing what this has turned into and how much the mindset has shifted among the younger generation, I have zero interest in messing around or risking my four-plus grand.

Where were you for 20 years? Hiding in the woods?
Complete idiots. Today's generation is lightyears ahead of your outdated brains. Your limit is posting on the internet and fighting in bars. You'd sell out for two beers.

It’s like comparing an old engine to a modern one. Today's generation operates on a completely different level than yours. While you were busy fighting over drinks at a bar, they were actually evolving. You lot would sell out for nothing.

Why don't you go home and talk to your auntie like that? You can't even fill up a stadium in Miami today. In my day, we didn't need the internet or organized notices; we just showed up and made our presence felt.

The reality is clear. Your mentality is the problem. There aren't even 500 of you at home games. Mamic laughs in your face because there are only about 30 sellouts left who can't even stand up to him. Back when there were thousands of us, the police were the only thing stopping us. Get lost.

Back in my day, we were throwing bricks like grenades and heading out to away games without any fancy organization, internet, or constant notifications. We just showed up.

I see how it is. You guys clearly lack the backbone to show up. There aren't even 500 of you at the home games anymore. People are just wandering around the city aimlessly while Mamic laughs right in your faces. He’s sitting there with those 30 sold-out pieces of trash that you couldn't even stand up to when there were a few thousand of you left—especially since a handful of cops kept you from making any real impact in the stands. Get lost.

What exactly do you mean by "your time"?

I honestly never get tired of these debates popping up here every couple of weeks. It’s always some random crowd surfacing claiming things aren't "what they used to be"—as if the glory days were somehow better. But you never hear this stuff from the people actually in the thick of it, just the spectators watching from the sidelines. Look, if you really feel that way, why don't you step up? Bring your crew, go all out, be as wild as you want—I'm pretty sure a decent chunk of people will follow your lead...

The Bad Boys have been on their most solid footing in over a decade. Like someone else mentioned, there’s this steady core of fans traveling for away games, and while the home game numbers fluctuate, the overall trend is definitely heading upward. Even now, with new spots opening up... the chapters outside of Chicago have gotten insanely strong, and honestly, that's the real key to the group's growth.

If you ask me, those local chapters were the ones who pulled us through our darkest times when we weren't even sure if the group would survive. And now, with the Chicago Crew gradually getting stronger and more young guys joining the fold, Bubbles are making a massive comeback...

From '88 through 2005, though the mid-90s up to the early 2000s was definitely the peak era.

The Bad Boys are on much steadier ground now than they have been in a decade. As noted elsewhere, there is a reliable core of fans traveling to away games. While attendance at home matches fluctuates, the general trend is upward. Even now, as new venues open up, the branches outside of Chicago have grown incredibly strong, which is the true path toward progress.

In my view, those regional branches carried the group through its darkest hours when survival was uncertain. Now, as the Chicago Crew strengthens and more younger guys join in, Bubbles are making a full-scale comeback...

Man, what are you even talking about? Have you never heard of a generational shift? It is simple math: players like Nesta and Maldini cannot carry Milan forever. Everything has its peak and its limits. We will see how today’s generation holds up when they reach my age. Honestly, many struggle to make it to a local game now, let alone travel for away matches. I remember when I used to spend three or four days on the road just for a single trip.

Are you trying to screw us over here, or what? We've been in this together for five years now.
Are you seriously trying to draw parallels between the nineties and the era leading up to 2005 with what we’re dealing with today?
Let’s start by busting the myth that the stands in Miami are always packed.
From independence through 2005, how many times was the cage full? We saw it in '96, but when else? Someone refresh my memory.
Walking around town? Donkeys used to roam the streets like they were back in Miami until about 1996.
Now we’re getting to the heart of the matter. Back in 2001, a friend of mine was over in Cleveland when he got into an altercation with an officer—he landed a punch right to the guy's head—and ended up receiving nothing more than a warning and... $33 Do I really need to list every single ridiculous reason why people have been rotting in prison for months over the last six or seven years? Despite all that, the momentum hasn't stopped; they’re still pushing forward, still offering it up to everyone. Is it somehow the fault of those thirty people who were in Athens, simply because there were only thirty of them? Or is the blame actually on the rest of us—especially those of you sitting there, typing away and talking nothing but trash?
The greatest enemies of this group are none other than yourselves.

I don't know what some people are rambling about here, but the Bad Boys are facing a situation unlike any other group, especially those from the bigger cities. This is the direct result of choosing to clean house—as if they didn't know it would be hard or that the group would stagnate during this transition. Boycotts and all that just feed into the stagnation. We all know the Ultras would never boycott because, like certain dedicated fans, they subordinate everything to a higher purpose. I wasn't expecting the Ultras to bite off more than they could chew like Bubbles did. As the old saying goes, you can't go where it's tough if you're only looking for what's easy and deep. Isn't that right, Dennis Davis97? 😁I’ve got you on my radar; you'll be the first one I come after with a broom. 👍

All of you have a club you can cheer for, but that doesn't mean anything because you're clueless. A club is the fundamental engine behind any supporter group; without a club, you have nothing to spark interest in cheering or anything else that comes with it. Who actually cheers for Dinamo these days? Even the people at the games aren't really cheering for the club anymore; they're chasing a ghost of the tradition and history it used to have. Now, all we have is this idiot and his hypocrisy, along with a bunch of mercenaries who are just here to muddy the waters and corrupt everything they touch. It's easy to pick fights with Bubbles today and score cheap points, but where were you guys before? You were mice. I didn't see you then; in fact, you were all busy pushing some other narrative.

Ultimately, the group exists, and I see how much this stinks to all the haters from America and even further east. They'd all love to take shots at the Bad Boys. It's no coincidence that these vultures swoop in right now to grab easy points while the group isn't at its peak. Lowlifes always know when to scavenge for cheap glory, but a day will come when you won't be able to score any points at all, let alone cheap ones. When that day comes, nobody will be able to fight on the internet or call people names anymore. Everyone loves to act smart and talk trash, but clearly, most of you aren't actually present or willing to contribute to making this group what it once was. And that’s exactly why the situation with the Bad Boys is what it is. Of course, things will change, but I don't believe anything can change as long as these scumbags are running the club and the whole thing is under the occupation of a soccer mafia. Everyone is acting like an expert—from the Donkeys to the former Bad Boys to the neighbors from the East—but the truth is none of you have ever been in the shoes of the Bad Boys, because it's not your club being held hostage by the mob. Actually, the situation in Mexico is unique; there, the fans are basically part of the mob, so they get along perfectly with the club's mafia. This allows them to recruit new members unimpeded because, like I said, in Mexico, everything is geared toward a higher goal: ensuring their group stays strong at the expense of the club they supposedly support. In that regard, they show exactly how useless and pathetic they are. Fans are supposed to fight for the club's welfare and cheer for its success, not against it. But how can you do that when you're playing nice and collaborating with criminals?

So, thank God that even though the Bad Boys had some idiots in the mix who were similar to those in Mexico, they haven't all fallen to that level. We're dealing with a messy situation regarding the club and the group today, but it will all right itself one day. When that happens, we can start building everything from scratch with a clean conscience. That's how you have to look at it; this is just a phase, a tough period that every Dinamo fan has to endure. Now we just have to wait for these scumbags to finally be kicked out of our club and our sport. They will be removed, because I doubt the legal processes will end in favor of the mafia despite a corrupt system and judiciary. Even our crooked justice system knows that in this specific case, they shouldn't be working for criminals. So, I believe that after all this, Mamic will be headed for bankruptcy—or retirement.

As for the Ultras, they can play the "crazy" card all they want right now, but let’s be real: they've always been about serving their own agenda first. Right now, their group identity is actually more powerful than the club they claim to support. You can't have your cake and eat it too—you can't demand total power while being broke. These guys think if they act tough, the club will magically become elite, but that’s not how the world works. To build a powerhouse today, you need serious capital, and they're flat broke. Just some broke kids from Miami struggling to find their way. 😁

And sure, they can stir up trouble all day long. It's easy for them when the vibe in California is exactly like this—when a massive crowd backs the Ultras, it makes pulling these kinds of stunts feel effortless. Plus, they've got that rebellious streak baked into their history; blood might be thicker than water, but chaos runs deep. 🤣

And finally...



The final showdown with that Maniac, Mamic. 😂

Man, what are you even talking about? Have you ever heard of a generational shift? For crying out loud, you can't have Nesta and Maldini carrying Milan forever; everything has its peak and its limits. I’d love to see what today's generation is capable of when they actually reach my age. Even now, they struggle just to make it to a local game, let alone travel for away matches. Seriously, back in my day, we used to pull three or four-day trips just for an away game.

I don't really have any business getting involved since I'm not exactly an active fan, but seeing everything being written here, I just had to chime in. 😁

Look, my friend, people from your generation were the very first ones to sell their souls to the establishment. They’ve pivoted from one corporate overlord to the next, moving seamlessly from local conglomerates to giants like Heinz. At the very first sign of trouble, they turned their backs on both the club and the group just to align themselves with the higher-ups. Now, you see them every single day on social media, dying of "love" for the club and the crew, sporting profile pictures covered in group motifs and those signature sticks alongside that unmistakable number 86. The fact that they actively fought against the number 86 doesn't even phase them anymore; as long as they can shout and drink, they couldn't care less about their past hypocrisy. Honestly, whenever I see those status updates where they claim to be "defending the city," I can't help but feel a sense of pure shame. The only time they actually bother defending anything is when they're sitting around a table, tearing into a plate of veal.
Let us not overlook the instances of gunfire directed at civilians or the tactical breaches where officers stormed Bubbles' quarters with batons drawn. It was precisely during these moments that people your age were the very first to sell out, standing there and confidently asserting that absolutely nothing wrong was happening.

Let's keep this momentum going.

Are you dissatisfied with today's generation of kids? Fine, I am actually quite pleased about it. Today's youth haven't built up this delusional mythos about being the premier gang in all of Europe, acting as if the entire continent trembles because we are "unstoppable" (I can't even remember the lyrics to that moronic song) or maintaining those dark, intimidating stares that everyone supposedly shrinks from. They haven't inherited the various adolescent nonsense we fed ourselves for years without any actual foundation. Back in our day, the peak was smashing things up in small towns across the Midwest, long before we were ever facing off against elite squads. Those high-stakes confrontations only happened later, once the group was already under massive, invisible repression specifically designed to wipe out the Bad Boys name. The group, full of itself, went looking for a fight with the establishment because they expected that struggle to unify everyone. Honestly, the first people to screw us over were the ones currently peddling demagoguery to these kids, claiming the group was at its absolute zenith while they were leading it. What they conveniently omit is that back then, the leader was a regular fixture at local bars, blowing cash left and right. But we always knew they would screw us over and jump ship to their sponsors. However, nobody accounted for the big leader’s obsession with profit. He became far too greedy and, along with a small circle of associates, stabbed the rest of us in the back. Consequently, year after year, those who constantly flattered themselves by claiming to be the top gang in Europe and "unstoppable" slowly retreated into their holes or abandoned the whole movement entirely. When things got rough, they vanished. Only a few, very few, remained. Those dark, intimidating stares suddenly turned into soft, timid looks. In their place came these kids of today. And now, there is this expectation that these kids will be miracle workers capable of fixing and rectifying the sins of the older generations. It is expected that they should be brawling on the streets with garbage collectors who are twenty years older than them; they are expected to drive away the heavy hitters despite having zero support; they are apparently the ones to blame because the city has become soft. Let me correct that statement: it isn't the city that's soft, it's the mentality. There is a weak mindset where people will fall to their knees if it guarantees them personal gain, and they have an interest in sucking up to anyone—even the boss himself—as long as he has the money, regardless of how he gets it. It doesn't matter; the kids are expected to do everything themselves without any help, otherwise they are considered weaklings and cowards, unworthy of the old veterans. And those veterans are the exact same people who crawled into their holes the moment things got difficult. I especially love this mantra about the "good old days"—those "good old days" when the group functioned like a typical agency.

I was one of the first people to get cut from this group, and honestly, seeing today’s generation of kids jumping around and celebrating goals after everything we endured over these last seven years doesn't bring me any joy. It actually makes me feel quite heavy-hearted. However, I have no intention of hurling insults at them. Nor do I expect them to become the most fanatic generation in this group's history. My only hope is that they never reach a point where they find it in their hearts to forgive that small circle of scumbags. It actually amuses me to read all the posts lately about how they are begging for forgiveness and seeking amnesty. These kids today have their own path to walk, and those of us from the older generations have nothing to lecture them about. The most vital thing is that they continue to build this community on healthy foundations, free from the influence of those lowlifes who are willing to sell out or turn this whole thing into an agency again. And if possible, let's ensure we don't end up talking about the "top gang in Europe" or those "unstoppables"—that adolescent nonsense that suffered a total defeat when it actually mattered during the real fight against the Chetniks.

The kids today are actually good—they’re prepared, which is what matters. They’re putting in the work and they aren't backing down. I’ve been pretty hardcore since '83—my first game was back at BGE—and through the fourth war, I guess I just wish they had a little more of that grit and ruthlessness when deciding where and who to target. But hey, that’s just my take. The foundation for the future is there, so pointing fingers at some specific group and profiling them an hour before kickoff is just pointless. That crowd doesn't even come close to us. And we'll see how Armada does in Europe... if it ever happens again. Sorry, but I don't get into fights—I'm not a hooligan. Just look at what happened in Rotterdam and other European cities. In Cleveland, it was all about being aggressive and having the whole Armada fired up, but during away games, it's mostly just supporters who stay out of trouble. Even if they happen to be better than us right now, I'd never admit that publicly.
Anyway, there was an article by Igor Flak in tonight's paper on pages 34-35 that really hit home for me. It reminded me of '82, and it did a great job summarizing everything that’s happened with our Dynamo over the years, as well as with our group.
As for us older folks, it's the same few faces showing up to games. I've dealt with it all—banned from stadiums, jail time in Paris, even issues at home because of the group—but I still show up and try to be ready. Yet, I see these other old-timers around town; they avoid eye contact but won't stop criticizing everything. Come on, people, let's actually support these kids. You can go ahead and vent on your keyboards all you want. You stood behind the old ways, thinking everything passes while only Dynamo remains. I've been here since I was 48, and I'm staying. Where are you guys?
In the military, they say the reason not to do something is just like a butt—everyone has one.

Let's start by debunking the myth about packed stadiums in Miami.
From independence until 2005, how many times was the stadium actually full? Only in 1996—when else? Remind us.
Walking through the city? Back then, people treated the streets like they were in Miami until 1996.
Then we reach the main point: in 2001, a friend of mine in Cleveland received a warning and $33 a penalty after an incident involving an officer. Do I need to list all the foolish reasons people spent months in jail over the last six or seven years? Despite all that, the movement continues, and the invitation remains open to everyone. Are those 30 people who were in Athens at fault because there were only 30 of them, or is the fault ours—especially those of you typing away and talking nonsense online?
The biggest enemies of this group are you, not anyone else.

Look, man, I’m telling you that while organization and opportunities were worse back then, people still showed up to the games. Today, younger fans have more options and ways to engage, so they just don't care. Sure, the police are aggressive and squeeze you from every angle, but that isn't an excuse.

Why am I even arguing? On July 12, 2015, if the North Stand had pushed, those 20 losers wouldn't have stood their ground. Everything should have flown off the stands; damn it, why did we let it happen like that? 🙄

Where did I call out those 30 people in Athens? Don't twist my words. I called out all the tough guys in NYC who were sleeping or idling while The Walkers were out on the streets. It is a disgrace to the group, regardless of how much you try to justify it. Those people were nothing more than thugs who served in Arkan's Tigers, looting and killing in Warsaw!

Alright, look—it’s fine. Honestly, we’re just creating some unnecessary generational divide here for no reason. Times change, the landscape shifts, and at the end of the day, everyone has their own perspective and their own way of seeing things. The Boys have never all thought exactly alike, yet the group has always shared the same core mission: Real Madrid comes first, and the group follows.

The younger crowd shouldn't be lecturing those who have carried this group on their backs for years—just as the inactive older generation has no business judging the youth, given how much the situation has changed. If anyone thinks they can do it better than the veterans, by all means, show up to the stands with twenty or thirty of your buddies and try to rally five hundred, seven hundred, or even a thousand people to storm the field. And once you're done dealing with the police, the security footage reviews, and all that mess, you can start collecting donations for bail and legal fees instead of funding choreographies, flags, or clubhouse space.

Just stay calm. Personally, I’m staying out of the fray since I’m mostly just following futsal these days. That’s why I think anyone who isn't actively involved shouldn't be talking too much unless they're offering some genuinely well-reasoned advice.

Elections! 🙂

The biggest enemies this group faces aren't outsiders; they're people like you.

Amen to that. Honestly, seeing things this way brings more shame to my heart than if I had been a mere provocateur. It isn't even necessarily about that trip to Athens; it’s about the heavy-handed suppression they faced during home games simply because the crowds were too small. That's why I hold those kids in such high regard, even when they act out in self-destructive ways. There was a certain grit to that era of brooding silence that served its purpose, so it feels wrong to hear people criticizing them now over minor details.
When you compare the days when we used to go versus how things are now, the difference is night and day. We dealt with systemic issues back then too, sure, but the sanctions and restrictions we face today are on a completely different level. Just over a decade ago, you could have started a small fan club anywhere and people would have personally escorted you to the stadium.
If you aren't out there on the front lines anymore, you really don't have much ground to stand on when criticizing the new generation.

It is simply a lie to claim we were bullied by the Bad Boys, or that they paraded through NYC, or that The Cohort was chilling downtown right before the game. It's a myth that our away numbers are terrible, or that the rival fanbases outnumber us significantly, or that Mamić walks through Washington, D.C. without a care in the world.
In reality, the opposition makes life impossible for the Democratic Party, and anyone standing near them faces immediate hostility, much like Janica did today. Meanwhile, in NYC, people just don't care; in a massive metropolis, you can't even find five people willing to stand up against those thugs.

Keep pushing forward!!!

Kids aren't stupid enough to fall for that classic NYC bar-room brainwashing fueled by USA Today's info dumps.
It’s honestly pathetic. We've reached a point where people whose entire existence used to be a punchline—the guys constantly bragging about "how much better things were back in the day," claiming "we had 500 million people at the local high school game in Small town, USA," or "we used to scrap with the walls"—are now openly saying they'd rather belong nowhere at all. Because, hey, they're 32 now, so maybe they'll find some random Eastern European club in San Diego to support instead. Instead, they've decided the move is to just trash everything they have zero connection to. They sit there with a remote in one hand and a drink in the other, hating on the die-hards who show up to every single game asking, "Where did you guys go?" They bash the fans who travel to hostile away games, not with a smile on their faces, but ready to throw down even when they know they have zero chance of winning, asking, "Why'd you lose the street fight?" They mock the guys lighting flares, asking, "Why didn't you set more stuff on fire?" They roll their eyes at anyone showing up to Yankee Stadium, asking, "Why was the turnout so small?"
Just imagine the sheer delusion of these "Real Madrid" fans who condescendingly lecture us with "you," "your," and "yours."
Look, this isn't about New Yorkers, journalists, or the general public who have always been against the Bad Boys. This is about the people who claim they actually showed up to the games themselves!
Can you wrap your head around that twisted logic? What is the actual goal of spitting on something you openly admit you have no interest in being a part of?
Kids aren't idiots. Keep moving.

Look, just speaking my piece here—honestly, it pains me even having to read this garbage, and I really wasn't planning on getting involved, but I can't stay quiet.🤣
If someone completely botched this whole situation with the tattoos, let's be real: it's the older generation that screwed up... not these kids today.

nimblemoose2 said:It’s all just a collection of lies, really... the claims that we were bullied by the Red Star fans, or that they were parading through the streets of NYC, or that The Cohort was chilling right in the heart of the city just before the match... even those pathetic stats about our away record, or the nonsense that the Torcida and The Armada outnumber us significantly, or that Mamić can stroll through Washington, D.C. without a care in the world.
Yet, while those fanatics are practically suffocating the Democratic Party, anyone who dares get too close to them ends up getting cut down, much like how Janica was treated today, in NYC you see people just acting like nothing matters... despite being in a massive metropolis, you can't even find five people willing to gather and take a stand against the Chetniks.

Keep pushing forward like that!!!

But honestly, the most hilarious part of your little rant is the claim that you were actually a BBB member twenty years ago 🤣 :🤣 🤣

We really need to give these kids some credit for how they've handled things over the last few years. This new generation has grown up with a real sense of integrity. They head out to those places where we aren't even allowed to go, showing themselves to everyone else, taking hits, getting mocked, and dealing with all the bullshit that comes with it. Sometimes they hold their own, sometimes they get clobbered, but hey, that’s just part of the game.

And >, don't give me that crap. If you've actually spent as many years in the stands as you claim, then you should have plenty of experience under your belt. Those years mean you've built real bonds with the people you've sat with through thick and thin. So why don't you grab your crew, show up to the stadium, and actually back up these kids you're complaining about? Maybe then things could go back to how they were ten years ago. Or better yet, why don't you guys just go work as mercenaries for Mamić or whoever else is pulling the strings? You don't even have to make a public announcement about it; you can just do your dirty work quietly...
