Hate VAR, but I don't see the issue between some ties having it and some ties not.

With no VAR you could have one ref who will give the goal and one ref who won't, so you could say it's unfair unless every game has the same ref.

Same if you have VAR at every tie, one round they'll interfere in an incident and get criticized for doing so, the next round they'll back off and leave the same incident to the ref.

That's why it's a waste of time and only adds another layer of interpretation that leads to more frustration, arguments and complaints. It certainly hasn't improved the game overall, if anything it's made things worse.
