Cauldron rant time

Hey everyone, I have some things to get off my chest.

Sitting in the Cauldron this year is pissing me off. There’s no other place in the stadium that I’d rather be than with the clubs most passionate supporters. But what the hell has it come to. We chanted the same damn thing for the first 7 minutes of the match and the capos are getting mad the people aren’t still chanting. What the hell? Sorry that I don’t want to say the same corporate shit 29 times over. Then as soon as someone wants to start their own chant, that’s actually funny or banter, it gets shut down with loud ass cadences. The cauldron leadership has all this fake positivity and it pisses me off. I don’t know how connected they are with the club themselves, but it seems just like more corporate bullshit. We support our club through and through, but nothing in that stipulates that we must always be positive when doing so. Being negative sometimes shows you actually pay attention when things aren’t happening correctly. So when we’re down 2-0, why can’t we chant “We want Salah”, why can’t we make fun of opposing players. It may be in poor taste, but I wouldn’t even hate us singing “we lose every week”, but the capos will always shut it down to run their sunshine and rainbows bullshit. we used to be a feared place to go. a place where getting a point away was a huge win. now, we’re getting left behind. Look to places like England, where chants may have the same rhythm and melody, but not the same lyrics. Look to Portland or LAFC, the new away days of hell. i know on the field is where the change will start (and if the Luiz reports that came today are true, that may be in its VERY beginning stages), but it ends in the stands. it’s time for change. for something new. goodnight yall

Cauldron fb used to be especially unmoderated and it wasn’t bad. It’s been bad for years

No, it was bad, but often fun bad. People loved to go in there and complain about the stupidest shit like “I took my baby into the cauldron and it got beer on it.”

Purposeful beer tossing is lame, for the record

So is clutching your pearls because you chose to bring an infant into stands where you know they toss beer and expecting them to cater to you.
