Seeing as we have seen successful and fairly painless implementations of VAR (such as World Cup 2018) it seems to me the issue is (as always) more a matter of the quality of the referees.
I agree with you. The inconsistencies also cause a lot of confusion and delay imo. To me at least, it hasn’t made the game worse to watch at all
PL has made impossible for VAR to be successful:
They simply don't pay them enough so the good talent drops out in the grassroots level.
Then they also have same idiots on the pitch and in the booth instead of seperate ones.
And then they also have so many restrictions on what VAR can and can't do.
I don't agree that it was painless at 2018, it was IMO just as annoying, inconsistent and intrusive as anywhere else.
