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+).

@JackPLoftus Anyone piling in on him for this but not going hard at the centre of the South Bank for openly cheering when Jackson or Hwang are hooked needs to think about what support is.
We’re all frustrated.
We’re all disappointed and disgusted.

I agree. It's a horrible incident. But I cannot understand why British news outlets (including the BBC) have been leading with it for the past 24 hours.

There has been a shooting in a faraway country by officials about whom we know very little. I do not know why this has been the top story on the front page of the London Times for 12 hours.
