I dont see why you cant let the linesman make the decision and then check if a goal results. If it is a clear howler overturn or otherwise go with 'linesman's call' similar to cricket.
Therefore, the protocol being all marginal decisions are with the onfield official. This allows for there being a margin of error with the technology, depending on where tv frames are frozen and lines drawn.
How do you determine a clear howler though? Won't it just result in the same arguments between what is a clear howler and what isn't? You're still using the same marginal differences no matter where you move the goalposts.
