I wonder how the Magic would like people putting up links to the OCSC website or facebook page for a small start? As far as the 'rift' between the two big supporters groups... People should be expected to simply show some basic respect for one another. For example, if a couple members feel like starting a chant attacking the other group, don't join in and encourage it or flat out tell them it's not cool. If a couple members want to make facebook comments insulting the other group, tell them they shouldn't behave that way. Its not only on leadership, but the groups as a whole and all their members to try and avoid the immature behavior. Its silly for members of either group to waste energy hating on people who are cheering for the same team as you. I don't feel like the groups need to be tailgating or sitting next to each other acting that harmoniously, but if we could maybe orchestrate some chants together and not publicly attack one another that would be good enough for the time being.
No dog in this fight, I was behind the Ruckus at the Union game and the two groups seemed to get along fine, but as far as some of the other stuff I will say that sh!t won't fly in the MLS http://www.mlssoccer.com/blog/post/2012/02/27/mls-letter-houston-supporters-groups
The issues last year between the Orlando City supporters' groups is ancient history, Chuck. But the fireworks lit by The Ruckus at the Philly friendly were the first time they did so. The Ruckus has a fog machine, and technically the ILF's smoke bombs are also illegal at the Citrus Bowl.
It's all good . . . not trying to renew any hostilities, just with all the talk in the thread of smoke bombs and what not I simply thought I'd point out with the Houston story, that it's not tolerated at the higher level (which is not old news).
lol ooh nooozzz! Not the smoke bombzzz! And someone cursed! OH MY! I also like how the club has to "recognize" a SG leadership system. What a crock. The throwing of things on the field is bad and are the only points listed here that should be a problem. The other stuff is ridiculous.
With all due respect, you are a sadly mistaken and woefully misinformed. Houston got in trouble for trying to pelt David Beckham with a flashlight and for throwing smoke bombs on the pitch. If you really think they got in trouble for smoke bombs in the stands and flicking off players, then you are sadly misguided. If Houston would have kept the smoke bomb in the stands and not tried to throw objects at players, they would have been fine and it would have been ignored like it is time and time again. Countless other teams light smoke bombs with no consequence. It really is not a big deal. The fireworks were a one time incident and was frankly pretty f**king cool. I can tell you first hand, the players loved it. That said, the city got onto the team pretty hard for the incident, so suffice to say that won't be going on again anytime soon. Outside of that a$$hole 'jazzy dog', no one really cared about the fireworks or tried to make a big deal of the incident. I can't stand that guy and he is nothing but trouble. The Ruckus and the ILF get along just fine now. There are no underlying 'issues' or problems. The two groups have different styles and different ways they show support. Both are great for the team and have mutual respect. There is no tension with anyone or any group towards any of our supporter groups.
I could be 'wordy' and polite or just a straight asshole. Your suggestion that what we do as supporters is in anyway a negative is a dick move. You are a douche for comparing us to the bull sh*t stunt that Houston did in the MLS championship game. The team has no problems with what we do but 'ChuckDzzNutz' feels so passionate about the 'rules', he is compelled to post about it. Cool story brah...
haha, I don't have a choice other than staying cool "brah" . . . I've never met a guy in my life that used that word and wasn't a Giant Douche. My guess is you got picked on in HS and joined the Supporters Group to feel like you fit into something for the first time in your life. I posted about a real SG in Houston that the MLS smacked down so if you want to help your city achieve this ultimate dream of an MLS team you should take heed cuz I'm sure the MLS is watching.
You would not know sarcasm if it kicked you straight in the nuts dressed up as a french sailer, singing german war songs. I'm off to get my lunch money taken from me by the school bully next to the sea-saw. You have me so figured out. Come out to crossfit evolution and ile show you how much I get picked on and how much of a misfit I am. Funny how DG went out of his way to say that Tampa is not in anyway in consideration for future MLS expansion. I hope you choke on a fistfull d*cks. BTW, f**k the Rowdies...
Don't lie adverb boy . . . You know you use "Brah" in your everyday language. I don't know who DG is but it's fans like you that make me support the Rowdies over Orlando City. I merely post a link about the Houston story and you claim I'm bashing your silly little fan club. Being oversensitive is another sign of the bullying you've surely endured throughout life. I'll stop now cuz I don't want to end up on you wall with the other pictures you throw darts at. If you do make a voodoo doll of me though make sure to deck that fella out in Orange and Blue
What did Ccc do again? ChuckDzzNuts said how Houstan got in trouble and than Ccc responded by saying it was for a different cause and than Chuck freaks about Ccc's spelling and use of "brah"? And than Speedcake as always lurking in here sticks up for his Tampa friend?
yea dude we're really scared........ http://www.orlandosentinel.com/multimedia/os-fla360-ruckus-story,0,5048819.story
This thread has gone from a discussion about two rival supporter groups that now get along just fine, to Tampa douchec*nts trolling. Go to your own thread jock sniffers. Don't come back here until you convince your trash ownership group to play OCSC. I don't blame Don Garber (DG) one bit for wanting nothing to do with that cesspool of scum in West Florida...
This dude cracks me up . . . I don't know any of these Tampa guys. I support both teams. I've been to more City games than Rowdy games cuz O-town is a little closer than Tampa from up here in North-Central Florida, but it's oversensitive clowns like Ccc that make me throw more of my support to the Rowdies. Hope they meet in the Cup, would be classic. Hey, how's that for a name? La Florida Classico
The ILF were the stars at the Garber Town Hall Meeting on March 1st. They had a great plan and executed said plan perfectly. The Ruckus wisely (IMO) followed their lead at this event. The "big two" are working together. It's not often talked about (and some newer members in both groups may be unaware) but the ILF and Ruckus started as one SG. We were together at the early stages of season 1 and split only after some disagreements about the structure and direction Orlando City's main supporters group should take. But the Civil War is over. We've learned that in-fighting is counter-productive. Both groups are proud of their acomplishments and comfortable with their image. There are other groups too and they are growing and making their own impact. There is something for every fan who buys a Supporters End ticket at the Citrus Bowl. This thread has become irrelevant. It should read. Orlando City Supporters vs. the World.
