It has to be automated instead of bringing in human emotions. How much has the ref been swayed by the crowd for a start? Then factor in he knows he can never be 100%, but that a professional colleague is questioning his decision by asking him “are you sure?” By suggesting a visit to the monitor. He ...

We used to sing “Oh when the Clarets go marching in”, and it can be clearly heard on the Orient videos out there, so we hadn’t changed it by 1987 anyway.
Please go back to that version. TF&C is cringey.
