Absolutely awful scenes and terrible for the image of Argentinean football. Such a shame as there's been so much build-up to this and now all the focus is on the off the field events. Tonight is going to be very tense: hope the game passes without violent incidents outside the ground.

Good luck with that!
If they win they'll riot in celebration. If they lose they'll probably set fire to their own stadium.

They won't be able to set fire to it at the moment because the council have closed it. Need to go and see a judge and try and get it reopened this morning.

Probably best the judge reopens it, unless he wants to be murdered.
Brings back memories of the Junior Reds coach at Birmingham.
I was on the coach. Shocking behaviour - those morons even attacked their own stewards to try and get to us. It was like Fort Apache/The Alamo for a while as we couldn't get out of the ground. The 'wonderful' West Midlands police couldn't give a toss - not a sign of them all afternoon. Even the team coach had no escort. They eventually sent a mini with a couple of plods to get us back on the coach - which incidentally had the window next to where my daughter was sitting bricked. The outer window blew while we were on the motorway! I won't forget that birthday in a hurry! Ever since I always allow myself a little smile when I see Birmingham have lost.

I have hated Birmingham with a passion because of that and the Jasper Carrott half time rant at another game there.

Similar thing happened in 81, though I don't recall any damage to the supporters club coach.

Believe it or not this was the Junior Reds coach - full of youngsters!
