An Argentine Apertura match was abandoned yesterday after Belgrano Cordoba goalkeeper Juan Olave was hit by a firecracker thrown from the stands. I’m summarily depressed by the apparent trend of explosive items landing on fields across the globe in recent times, I’m going to eat a Snickers and try to forget about it for awhile.

The only good reason to bring a firecracker to a match is if they’re the really noisy kind of firecrackers and you safely place them in an empty metal waste container so that they make a ton of long bangs and people duck for cover.

No, wait, that’s bad, too. On second thought, DON’T BRING FIRECRACKERS TO MATCHES AND NEVER EVER THROW THEM ON THE FIELD.

Sheesh.
