My only reservation would be that the rules of the game would have to be very clear-cut. I understand that a player can be sent off rather than booked for "intent" if he commits a foul........how would a video replay assist the ref in judging a players intentions??

They could start with using the video referee for situations like goal/no goal or if a player is fouled just inside or outside the penalty area and shoul get a penalty. These are key factors in a game. You shouldn't use the video for every questionable little foul.
Look for example last night when Sporting Portugal was denied a goal, despite the ball was about half a meter over the goal line.
