If you're not up with your football current affairs, you may not know that the use of Video Assistant Referees will be trialed in the upcoming World Club Cup.
For those interested the IFAB procedure can be found here - http://static-3eb8.kxcdn.com/documents/216/VAR_Protocol Summary_v1.0.pdf
I think this proposal is not without its flaws (a player can be sent off even if play is brought back sever minutes following a review) and I'm sure plenty on here will suggest it doesn't go far enough and or offer enough transparency (lack of team / coach reviews), however I hope the games in the competition offer up enough debatable match changing incidents to make this trial worth while.
