139th Derby
It's amazing how sometimes what you think by “a moderate support” looks great on YouTube or on TV. I do not want to be misunderstood but to me, except in the last 15 minutes, our support was solid; however, by comparing to our potential and standards, I think that we could sound much louder during an entire game like when we were singing: “Crno-bela zastava simbol je picketina.” I know that we are not machines; but believe me, there are such people among us as well!
In any case, let's go from the beginning... It looked like that regime wanted some bloodshed but everything stayed within fair support although I think that we were a bit subdued when we shouted at their goalkeeper – a piece of shit…
The only advantage of an early played game is that some people, who usually drink all day long and who come to North stand totally wasted, did not have an opportunity for something like this… because of that, all relevant parameters for solid cheering and support were present! All prerequisites were there! A good old crowd in front of Marakana was seen... I have not seen or experienced any rigorous control, they searched me once fairly well, the way it suppose to be, and that was it... We entered pretty quickly inside the stadium with not much of a delay...
Our kop, a North Stand, was full... maybe just a corner toward the East stand was a bit empty. East and West stands were not as bad if we have in mind that the stadium was purposely reduced in capacity… I have never paid much attention to opposite kop but it turned out that the reduction in capacity of our stadium did a great favor to them… It looked like that there are a lot of them; despite of that, a reduction of capacity by two sectors have not helped them to made their stand full.
It should be emphasized that a large number of our brothers from Greece as well as Russia came… although for some reason, I personally have not seen Russians... The Greeks were so numerous that they could be seen on almost every part of our kop as well as their flags that stood side by side with ours.
At the beginning of the game, there was a beautiful picture of North stand with red and white balloons… Singing and jumping were great overture for powerful performance... We were singing much more to our club in order to give an extra power to our players who were down by one goal due to a catastrophic mistake by the captain... I must point out that we were singing interchangeably with East and West stands and it sounded great!
At half time, the Greeks began with their show. They started singing and we joined them. The second half of the game started in an amazing atmosphere ... a song “black and white flag…” was shouting for almost ten straight minutes. Their fans did not know what was going on… Everything was quite good as it should be until 10 to 15 minutes before the end of the game when we simply stopped and stayed with no power and energy for extra support to our players on the field… However at the end of the game, we left our players with “Dobro znaj” and at that moment, we overshadowed the celebration in the south stand…
I would particularly reflect on 88... West stand impressed me yesterday... Every contact with the ball by their goalkeeper was followed by unbelievable noise… His behavior at the end of the game reassured all of us what we already knew… all sewage waste ends miserably! ;D
Every ten minutes we had a new slogan, very clear and understandable...
"South kop is coming into the city - half of them wants, another half doesn’t”
"Feel free to keep the flags, no one will touch you!"
"Grobari 1970 – 30 years the best kept secret"
"You are all a bit 88"
"In France – students and demonstrators, in Serbia – hooligans and nationalists"
"When he says: I'm gonna xxxx you ... he really means it. Grobari probably first gays in the city"
Finally despite the defeat, we must not give up, nothing is lost, the battle is beginning now, there are two games waiting for us. It should be more of us to give strident support to our players in order to finish the championship season in the first place on the table!!!
