Match23 Feb 2030

Gimnasia y Tiro run riot against Racing

4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad25 Feb 2030

A day Nicolás Contín will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Squad25 Feb 2030

Julián Romano breaks a bone — 14 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 14 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings25 Feb 2030

Age has not caught Nicolás Contín yet — 9.35

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 9.35 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings25 Feb 2030

Carlos Casseres, 19, steals the show — 8.06

Marked 8.06 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

The dugout25 Feb 2030

José González says Gimnasia y Tiro went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

The dugout25 Feb 2030

Miguel Ángel Villalba frozen out at Gimnasia y Tiro

This is not rotation. Miguel Ángel Villalba has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Gimnasia y Tiro is pretending otherwise.

Squad25 Feb 2030

A row about effort at Gimnasia y Tiro

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Joaquín Papaleo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces25 Feb 2030

Gimnasia y Tiro supporters have found a favourite in Carlos Casseres

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Carlos Casseres has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad18 Feb 2030

A fracture rules Julián Romano out for 21 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Gimnasia y Tiro will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad18 Feb 2030

Matías Ormart signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Matías Ormart and Gimnasia y Tiro agree another 1 years.

Squad18 Feb 2030

Matías Ormart in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gimnasia y Tiro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout18 Feb 2030

Half-satisfied: Mario De Luca on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Squad18 Feb 2030

A Gimnasia y Tiro teenager takes the young player award

Eduardo Bruno is 19, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

The dugout18 Feb 2030

The manager makes an example of Ezequiel Flores

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match16 Feb 2030

Point won or two lost for Gimnasia y Tiro?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Madryn? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Market18 Feb 2030

Lautaro Montoya linked with a move away

The name of Lautaro Montoya keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Gimnasia y Tiro say nothing, which says plenty.

Player ratings18 Feb 2030

Tiago Banega was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 11. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad11 Feb 2030

28 days out for Julián Romano after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Gimnasia y Tiro will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings11 Feb 2030

Eduardo Bruno, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.86

A mark of 7.86 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

The dugout11 Feb 2030

Liam López says Gimnasia y Tiro went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad11 Feb 2030

Words at Gimnasia y Tiro training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Joaquín Papaleo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match9 Feb 2030

Eduardo Bruno’s goal not enough for Gimnasia y Tiro

Eduardo Bruno scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Güemes, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout11 Feb 2030

Santino Sansone gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad11 Feb 2030

Eduardo Bruno signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Eduardo Bruno and Gimnasia y Tiro agree another 3 years.

The dugout11 Feb 2030

Mario De Luca faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Mario De Luca after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad11 Feb 2030

A falling-out at Gimnasia y Tiro

Angel Martinez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
