VAR isn't inconsistent, it's the opinions of the referees that are inconsistent. If anything, VAR has helped to highlight how shite they are at their jobs. PGMOL needs to be cleared out, I think some of the leaders in the organisation may feel they have too much power over the game and it needs to stop.
Dermot gallagher says the Manu goal was ok because the ref decided no foul and it's not VARs job to look for fouls, then goes on to say ours was a foul on the keeper and correct?

In which case our goal should stand. They’re making it up as they go along, it’s shit!

So VAR couldn’t assess it. Whereas in the Villa game the ref made no such gesture and therefore missed the incident. That was my interpretation
It seems so wrong, elongated and poor set up compared to rugby union TMO

Cricket and rugby both have natural breaks but the whole idea of football is it flows more or less continuously.

That was my interpretation I’m not sure if he waved play on, I think he said Atkinson was in a good position to see the challenge and decided it wasn’t a foul, which is exactly what happened in our game.
