England v Norway U19 European Quaifier. What will this re-do mean for soccer go forward?

The recent England versus Norway Women's U19 game ended in controversy.  The center referee and her crew most definitely erred in the administration of the match. It has been generally accepted an officials ruling cannot be reversed once play resumes. FIFA has now allowed for appeals and reversal of on-field referee rulings.  They took a bold stand and got it right, but I wonder if any consideration was given to how their ruling will trickle down through the ranks? 

I imagine youth coaches everywhere attempting to appeal unfavorable referee decisions to leagues and tournaments citing this FIFA case as grounds to do so. Given referees are human and do make mistakes there will certainly be legitimate reasons for doing so. Will there be a legitimate framework in place to deal with such cases?   Again, while some leagues and many tournaments do allow for protests, usually with an associated set fee to discourage one from filing an appeal, I have never witnessed a league or tournament overturn a referee's on-field in-game ruling.

I can provide a first hand account of one such case. Our U12 team was playing in the Dublin Nike Cup one year. I knew when the center referee instructed the coaches any attempt to address him during the match would result in issuance of  a card we might be in trouble.  He was an foreign referee with a very thick accent. He also managed the match with a deportment more suited to an adult league than a youth tournament.  In the first half the opponents substituted 3 players, but only two came off.  They actually went on to score two goals while playing with an extra man on the field.

I sent our captains to the CR to make him aware of the situation. I personally addressed the issue with the AR in front of our bench. In the mean time the match continued and the opponents scored a second goal while playing with an extra player. I address the field marshal and also sent a representative to the referee's tent. Then I too my chances and stepped onto the field to address the CR.  Meanwhile the opposing coach surreptitiously removed a player from the pitch. 

There was no evil intent on the part of the opposing coach. It was an honest mistake. He apologized profusely.  The CR allowed the match to continue to half time.  At half time the CR admitted his mistakes. He ordered our team to take two penalty kicks to rectify the matters.  I declined.  I took the matter up with the referee assignor and tournament director. They agreed our team had a valid and fair claim.  They said I could formally appeal for a price of $100.00   I asked if I gave them a $100.00 would they reverse the referee's on-field decision and replay the match.  Their replay was "No, the referee's in-game decisions stand. Besides, we cannot disrupt the tournament schedule to replay your match."  And that was that.
