Newell's fans take exception to losing to thrid division Villa Mitre by throwing toilets onto the pitch:
How bad is this result in the general scheme of things? Villa Mitre are Fourth Division equivalent (so Wikipedia tells me!), so from this part of the world, it looks like a major embarrassment, as the reaction of the Newell's fans would seem to indicate.Newell's fans take exception to losing to thrid division Villa Mitre by throwing toilets onto the pitch:

When Chile played at the National Stadium (?) in Santiago a couple of years ago there was a special section fenced off directly behind the goal, which represented the amount of people who had been disappeared by Pinochet's coup and who would have filled that part of the terracing. It was a particularly inspired tribute to the victims and in entirely in context with the setting.Fascinating, disturbing and revealing insights posted regards the military uprising. As usual thanks for posting Dr G and for opening eyes to the atrocities. Been reading about the Chilean military coup a couple of years earlier and will definitely be looking into the Argentinian one. At least the U.K. didn’t take sides on this one sadly not to be said regards Pinochet.

I presume Central fans are indulging in expected joyous GIRUY behaviour?
According to Clarin fan ID is coming to Argentine football, at least in BA and the province. They're hoping to have it implemented by the end of the year.
I'm unclear how it will work. When they talked of allowing away fans to return, they said everyone should register centrally and the League would sell tickets direct to the away support.
seen a picture of a Racing fan with his grandfathers skull, seeing he dug out so he wouldn't miss the celebrations!
Have just heard about this on Talksport! Thought it had to be a wind up and came on to try and confirm such that’s mental that said ....... Forza Racing off to watch the Quilmes documentary
