It wasn’t dirty at all, it was reckless. Dirty would mean he went over the top, which he didn’t.
James elbow to the head was dirty, but not particularly violent.

Again, I didn't write it. The ref saw that and felt that Romeros actions fit the bill and I can understand why. His foot ends up studs first into Enzos shin which is dangerous. Not intentional but reckless, in my opinion.
And you are fully entitled to your opinion.
That’s the issue in that the wording essentially still leaves it completely up to opinion. There is no need for VAR in that case.
That's a good point and something we can both agree on.
I just disagree. I've watched is so many times now, he goes in with his side foot, attempts to clear the ball, gets there first but the ricochet of the tackle brings Romero's foot up.
You're taught to not pull out of 50-50 tackles because you can get injured, it just looks bad because Fernandez pulls out
It's the exact kind of firm last ditch challenge I'd expect from a centre back in his own box
How else could he have gone into that challenge that would've satisfied people? He plays the ball
4 red cards in 70 odd games for Spurs is not good enough.
I don't give a fuck how great the guy is when he is on the park, he is a reckless clown far too often to be viable. I am not sure he can be trusted and I worry every time he goes into a challenge.
And people can make all the excuses they like about the tackle that got him sent off, the fact is that he should have been sent for an early shower for lashing out earlier in the game.
The guy is a loose cannon, and for all of his talent he is becoming a liability.

Oh fuck off.
Seriously.
Force and intensity.
LOL.
Wow.
The point of contact was the ball you fuckwit, Dermot little vermin weasel.
Pathetic.
I actually think we may need to import referees to England because you lot aren't up for it anymore.
Wind your neck in fuckwit.
If you think Romero acted responsibly then your eyes must be painted on. He should have been red-carded for lashing out before he was red carded for a dangerous tackle. If either happened to a Spurs player you'd be crying out for blood. Oliver had no choice once VAR told him to take a look.
Romero is a great player but that only extends as far as him actually, you know, playing.
He gets a red card every 18 appearances for Spurs and now misses yet another 3 matches when we are short on options. It's outrightly irresponsible from a guy who should know better by now and is supposed to be a leader of this club.
And if you don't like my opinion, I don't give two fucks. Your response was uncalled for.
I don’t think this is a bad take on what happened, but Romero was playing on the edge for a while before that which added to the decision for the red.
Ah, so you are a Wind Up Merchant. Good to know.
You must be new.
The heart of our defence that’s what he is and I don’t give a fuck if he gets a red looking after our players.
1) He cannot possibly be the heart of our defence if he's not on the park.
2) Explain to me how repeatedly getting red carded "looks after our players." Do they need a minder?
All that his red card achieved was to force our guys to do more running and more defending than they should need to. Oh, it also helped our players drop 3 points in game that was there to be taken. And it certainly assisted our manager who now has to cobble a back 4 together with spare parts.
Tell me what positive outcome did Romero getting sent off achieve. I'll get the popcorn.
Nobody can answer that question… because there isn’t a good answer.
All we can do is accept that he “tackled too hard” and we have to get on with it.
We know that the Oligarchy teams will probably still get away with it mostly against us. They can repeatedly foul and kick Maddison out of the game, they can dive, they elbow in the head and we just have to accept they are the oligarchy.
We can take something from the fact that they got punished once in the Liverpool game but we’ve also been well and truly paid back for having the audacity to get the rub of the green once against them.
This is what it’s going to take to beat an Oligarchy like this.
Not going to argue the first point
do they need a minder? Fuck yeah in defence someone has to have responsibility.
a whole country stops for him that’s why he goes back
and for a defender he is young 25.
tell you what ask the king what he thinks

Yeah and that's fair but there are ways of going about it that keep you on the park.
