@ReporterCruzado Que tontera hacer juicios de valor de las personas por hacer lo mejor posible su pega. Las personas se equivocan y aciertan, pero atribuirle intenciones es de una falta de respeto que cuando es al revés salen a funar en RRSS.
@FDuber@gferrariuc Los mismos que critican hoy, entre 2012 y 2016 no eran parte de los 2800 o 4500 (excepto clasicos) que estuvimos ahí en el antiguo San Carlos de Apoquindo, que mas se les puede pedir... hinchas de copas... entre 1987 y 1997 hubiesen incendiado Sta Rosa de Las Condes
