The San Telmo Gazette

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

17 matches without a win for San Telmo

The run now stands at 17, and the questions being asked around San Telmo are no longer polite ones.

The terraces

Anger at San Telmo spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match

San Telmo throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Morón the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that San Telmo will enjoy reviewing.

Market

Tomás Luna has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around San Telmo they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings

A brace, and Nicolás Baigorria takes the afternoon — 8.53

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Nicolás Baigorria provided it, and the 8.53 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Miguel Ángel Moreno

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

A first appearance Federico Ríos will want to forget — 5.78

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.78, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Boardroom

6 academy players handed senior numbers at San Telmo

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Federico Peralta signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Federico Peralta and San Telmo agree another 2 years.

In brief
