I sat in a London pub yesterday afternoon wearing running gear and a tinfoil cape while strangers bought me beer. Works every year. 😉🍻

Politicians want VAR gone Fans want VAR gone Players want VAR gone Managers want VAR gone Referees want VAR gone The championship doesnt want VAR Only the clubs and seemingly @FA_PGMOL want it. A failed experiment trying to make an art a science. Bin it.

NEW: EFL clubs reject VAR in Championship - including a challenge system - due to fan opposition. thetimes.com/article/d1795f…

💯 👍

@kingofchezo_WBA If they use Man City formula you’ll have a decision by 2038

Surely too late for a points deduction this season, however if this had happened to Portsmouth or Oxford #wba fans would be going mad for a points deduction 🧐

I mean, bottling four competitions is still a kind of a quadruple, if you think about it

Accurate😂

Pitch like a ploughed field, waist high tackles, right hooks, mud throwing, referee not bothered. United vs Wolves (1973) #MUFC

@TheAdrianDurham @kmenzies29 #var is the golden egg for refs 🚮

Nobody's forgotten what it was like before because 1) we're not stupid and 2) we watch football that isn't Premier League so we still appreciate the joy of football without VAR. Also VAR doesn't have to be here to stay. That's Webb's mantra in briefings & it's an insult to fans.

@henrywinter Never get changed now sky have tv show dedicated to it and it’s a cash cow for refs #var @FA_PGMOL

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+).

Rachel Reeves blaming forecourts is pure deflection. At 160p per litre: Tax: 80p Forecourt profit: 7p The government takes over 50%, which is around 10x more than forecourts. But somehow it’s the petrol stations fault? The public can see straight through this.

Love this from Danny Dyer on @PeterCrouchPod. 👏
