Letโs see a photo from the weekend. No descriptionโฆ Any photo! ๐ธ


Premier League fans deliver damning verdict on VAR. 75% of 7,946 fans polled by the Football Supportersโ Association โdidnโt support the use of VARโ. Too long, too forensic, too much of a joy killer, fans say. Findings shared with Premier League and PGMO. 92% of fans surveyed โagreedโ that โVAR has removed the spontaneous joy of goal celebrationsโ (82% of them โstrongly agreedโ). 85% of match-going fans โstrongly disagreedโ with the notion that โVAR makes watching football more enjoyableโ. And 83% of those watching on TV. 85% of match-going fans โstrongly disagreedโ that โVAR decisions are generally resolved in a reasonable amount of timeโ. Echoed by 83% of those watching on TV. Only 18% agreed that โVAR has improved the overall accuracy of refereeing decisionsโ. 72% are โconcerned about the expansion of VAR beyond its current remitโ. 79% โstrongly disagreedโ with the suggestion โthat the match-going experience is better with VARโ. 67% โstrongly agreedโ that they preferred โwatching games that are played without VAR to games with VARโ. 84% โstrongly supportโ goal-line technology. 34% โstrongly opposedโ to the idea of a challenge system (two per game per team). โThese findings back up the FSA's previous survey in 2021, where fans expressed misgivings about the introduction of VAR,โ says Thomas Concannon, @WeAreTheFSAPremier League network manager. โThe vast majority are reporting the same concerns five years on - the loss of spontaneity when celebrating goals, and an overall worsening of the match-going experience. We have shared the survey results with the Premier League and PGMO, and look forward to discussing its findings with them.โ Fans surveyed of all PL clubs and all ages (Under-18 to 65+).
