I am a long time fan & supporter of River Plate.... but the Borrachos del Tablon are a group of lawless thugs that should all be incarcerated. They and their actions are one of the reasons that River Plate is where it is today... they are a disgrace to River Plate and to all Argentine Football.
In the end, it is a good thing that River was relegated.... because this will force the Club and all its voting members to finally have to realize the chaos that the Club is in. Had River escaped relegation, most of the major problems that are long dated and structural would have been swept under the table. As hard as this relegation is, one can only hope that it will force changes into a legendary club that got into this mess after a gross series of inept and corrupt group of elected officials.
