Yeah I've been thinking about this for a while (pretty much since tennis introduced challenges) and I agree that it's probably the best way to stop match deciding errors occurring. Maybe not as high a one challenge per half, something like 5 per (league) season to stop players/managers from abusing the system a little and only challenging when absolutely certain. Also the challenge would have to be made instantly, like in tennis.
Also gives a use for the fourth official other than babysitting coaching staff and negates the need for the extra officials especially as there is a shortage already.
