Gorosito says that the Chacarita player “turned over” the bottle and brought back the sad memory of the “boludo” who died from having turned over a pipe

In the Argentine Cup Public access to both teams is permitted. Since it is played on neutral pitches, the rule of all other tournaments in which only the presence of local club fans is allowed is diluted. Inexplicable. A fight among the Chacarita crowd at the first match of B Nacional against Maipú resulted in one death. The San Martín club has been sanctioned and its fans will not be able to go to the stadium for four matches. Goodness. The rancor between Tiger and Chacarita He must be one of the fiercest in local football. And thank goodness because the suspension of Julio Grondona could have triggered a tragedy in Sarandí if the Chacarita management had responded to the bottle thrown from the Tigre audience. You don’t have to be very alert to be sure of a serious fight.

The bottle incident was serious and Pipo Gorosito’s statement was more seriousalready converted to best seller on social networks. “Aggression is wrong, but Brandán hit the bottle with his head”. How could Gorosito, always sensible in his statements, always far from scandals, have said something like that? A trick to reduce the sanctions that your club will surely receive? There is malice and malice.

It was a large bottle. It was a cut. It was a nervous breakdown. Very cheap. Let’s remember. On 14 December 1990 San Lorenzo beat Boca 1-0 at the Bombonera and there was a clash between fans. First of little songsthen the Boca bar went to look for the San Lorenzo bar. And a torn pipe from one of the bathrooms flew from the visitors’ desk.. He hit a fan in the head. He was called Saturnino Cabrera, he was 37 years old, lived very close to the Bombonera, was a member of the club, had three children and was unemployed. Died.

It was never clear whether Emilio Chávez Narváez threw the pipe, but he was sentenced to 5 years and 8 months in prison for manslaughter. That iron that caused the stands to collapse measured 6.40 meters and weighed around 20 kilos. Chávez did not belong to the San Lorenzo clan. And several witnesses at the trial said that at least three people had thrown the fatal projectile.. He paid Chávez, almost a Lee Oswald of our pampas.

San Lorenzo fans popularized a song in the following matches: “Saturnino/Saturnino/ Saturnino is dead/ we shot him with a pipe/ and the idiot nodded”. Hi Pipo, how are you?

The disaster struck during the interval. The match did not continue. The AFA, always Solomonic, declared the match lost for both.

The then Minister of Sports declared after Cabrera’s death that the Menemist government’s decision was valid “Enough with the bullshit, enough with the violent people, enough with the inability for families to go to football stadiums. If we don’t, these vandals will put an end to Argentine football.”. That minister was Fernando Galmarini, Tiger fan. Life is a great irony, right Gorosito?
