These numbers are absolutely damning Any other industry if you had customer feedback this negative on a new product/feature there would be bedlam internally working to fix it Yet with football, we just seem stuck with it, effectively being told: “Yeah you think you don’t like it but actually you do like it and you just need to realise that”

Premier League fans deliver damning verdict on VAR. 75% of 7,946 fans polled by the Football Supporters’ Association “didn’t support the use of VAR”. Too long, too forensic, too much of a joy killer, fans say. Findings shared with Premier League and PGMO. 92% of fans surveyed “agreed” that “VAR has removed the spontaneous joy of goal celebrations” (82% of them “strongly agreed”). 85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” with the notion that “VAR makes watching football more enjoyable”. And 83% of those watching on TV. 85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” that “VAR decisions are generally resolved in a reasonable amount of time”. Echoed by 83% of those watching on TV. Only 18% agreed that “VAR has improved the overall accuracy of refereeing decisions”. 72% are “concerned about the expansion of VAR beyond its current remit”. 79% “strongly disagreed” with the suggestion “that the match-going experience is better with VAR”. 67% “strongly agreed” that they preferred “watching games that are played without VAR to games with VAR”. 84% “strongly support” goal-line technology. 34% “strongly opposed” to the idea of a challenge system (two per game per team). “These findings back up the FSA's previous survey in 2021, where fans expressed misgivings about the introduction of VAR,” says Thomas Concannon, @WeAreTheFSAPremier League network manager. “The 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.” Fans surveyed of all PL clubs and all ages (Under-18 to 65+).

So the KMI panel deem Leeds should have had a penalty v Sunderland for the rugby tackle on Pascal. That could cost Leeds relegation, hundreds of millions of pounds and careers for lots if decent people. At what point do refs become accountable? It’s just not good enough.

No real football fan wants to see a club like Wednesday #swfc with a further points deduction next season. What we want is for a certain club to be charged with 117 offences.

We have been made aware of a distressing image doing the rounds today, suggesting Tottenham have beaten us 3-1. This has clearly been photoshopped, and we will be taking this up with the relevant authorities. Even we'd beat Spurs...

@fesshole This happened to me. I got 2 black eyes in a row, one from a kitchen door and one from my partner, but genuine accident. The number of work colleagues who pulled me to one side to let me know they were there for me was both embarrassing and heartening in equal measure!

I currently have a massive bruise on my forehead. I got it by walking into a door while not paying attention. But I can't tell anyone that, because everyone knows that "walked into a door" is code for domestic abuse. So I have to invent some plausible fake reason for the injury.

#LUFC pre-Sunderland press conference Farke spoke for a long time about the red card. It is his first red card in 20 years. The official reason for the red card was for entering the pitch - but he said he has done this for 20 years and also all the other managers do this every game after the final whistle as well. Said that he didn't abuse Peter Bankes - said that he didn't say one bad word against him. He said he simply asked why - when he had warned City players about time wasting 3 times during injury time and even gave a yellow card to Ait-Nori - why no extra time was added to accomodate this. Said he disagreed with a number of decisions: the straight leg tackle on James Justin, the foul on Aaronson in the build-up to the goal, the stamp on Gruev, the handball and finally the lack of added time at the end. Said that especially the added time has to be given at this level. He was also critical of Bankes - said he didn't look at him, didn't listen to him, didn't talk to him - just gave him a red card to "show the world" that he did something very wrong. Said that he believes he will be in the dugout on Tuesday night because it has to be overturned. "I was not sent the full report of the red card and I've never had one before so I can't tell you about the process of appealing. I can just say that this red card is a clear and obvious mistake and should be overturned and so I expect it to be overturned." On Ramadan he spoke about the confusion fans have about the break. In the first City game a break in play to have a team talk was a huge topic when Donnarumma went down without an injury. Felt that Leeds fans were booing because they didn't know why this was happening and perhaps linked it to what happened before. But he said that of course if people were booing Ramadan specifically then of course they need to learn (that, that is wrong). Says that there is no better place for living together with people of different religions than a football club. "My gut feeling was that our supporters didn't know what was happening, but if it was disrespectful then those people have to learn from that." The performance against Man City was excellent and a draw would have been a fair result. "We didn't allow many chances and we only conceded with 5 seconds to go in added time.. We can take even more confidence from this." Joe Rodon is available. Only question is of James Justin who was hit with a straight leg tackle and had to have stitches even though he didn't even get a free kick, but should be ok. So it is just Okafor out. "We had tight games against Sunderland on Championship level and also this season. The away game was a good game. They have already beaten nearly everyone at home so it was a good draw." "You have to prepare for key players like Granit Xhaka. It's important we control him but Sunderland have more threats than him. They are very dangerous on the counter attack so we must make sure that when we lose the ball we have to control the counters. On the other hand its not easy to create chances as they are a compact side." "The mentality of #LUFC team - to respond to adversity and to never lose our mental strength and confidence has been so impressive and its very hard to show consistency in this league but we have shown over several months really consistent performances." On the handball against Manchester City: "It's important that football be easy and as clear as possible for everyone. And with the handball rule we need more clarity.. this would be helpful for everyone involved: the players, the referees and the fans.." On Anton Stach (in the context of the aftermath of criticism from Nagelsman): "He is highly praised as one of the best signings of the Premier League. He's delivering on a top level. Shows versatility, plays in every midfield role and delivers with consistency, he's great in the air and wins many duels for us, he hardly loses the ball, he delivers goals and assists and is the creative spark, also against the ball - covered ground, high speed distance. A very, very complete player and glad we have him." On the tight turnaround: "There is not one player who is not ready to go".
