If there is to be such a system where incidents could be reviewed and end up with a match to be replaced, how would you even do it? Maybe a council of referees to review and vote on it? Sure, but how would you first establish the precedent for requiring a review?
It's clear if it's off side or goal line, but fouls? Now I haven't read the laws of the game properly, but as far as I know words like "reasonable", "obvious", "judged" (how do you objectively tell if it's a "clear" goalscoring opportunity? Player in front of a goal? What if the player is shit?) must be littered in the rules.
The rules are **** up, not the system..

But say if the mistake was done and you'd like to request a replay post-match. How would you even trigger that hypothetical panel of referees to review, how do you manage the incident, what's the precedence for the review?
