But that’s the point. Our “refs” have decided that the ref hundreds of miles away now does

Make the call. The whole point was they were supposed to alert the on pitch ref to possible errors/incidents that they may want to look at again. On field ref then looks at the replay and forms his view. That’s what they do elsewhere but our lot have somehow just been allowed to unilaterally overrule that system.
