I'm sick of our replay system not getting calls right I don't trust the "call on the field" of 1 ref vs 7 camera angles 2 easy fixes 1. involve the ref who made the call into the video review 2. get rid of "conclusive" - go with what is "most accurate" aka > 50% | @SportsGrid https://t.co/VxawuwGRY3
