"VAR is a poisoned chalice" Dermot Gallagher discusses a survey conducted by the Football Supporters' Association, which found that three-quarters of Premier League fans are against the use of VAR 📺


75% of fans oppose VAR in Premier League, says FSA bbc.in/416aTW2


I genuinely don’t think fans oppose VAR, they oppose the clowns who operate it. Every international tournament the English officials are shown up. Standards are rock bottom.



Premier League defends its use of VAR, says technology “less intrusive” in PL than in other European leagues, including UCL. Argues that its research “indicates fans are largely in favour of keeping VAR, but improving the way it is used". Responding to Football Supporters' Association survey of three-quarters of fans not wanting VAR, PL spokesperson says, “The Premier League recognises the importance of minimising the impact of VAR on the supporter experience. "Since the introduction of the VAR Improvement Plan at the start of the 2024/25 season, the League and PGMO have implemented in‑stadium referee announcements and more proactive communications, while there has also been the introduction of semi‑automated offside technology – all designed to improve clarity, speed, and communication around key decisions. “VAR delivers more correct decisions. In recent seasons, there have been around 100 correct VAR overturns per season – instances where goals would otherwise have been incorrectly awarded or disallowed, or red cards or penalties missed or wrongly given. “The Premier League works closely with PGMO to continually improve the operation of VAR, with the aim of ensuring minimal interference in matches wherever possible. The League applies a high threshold for VAR intervention, with the Referee’s Call taking precedence. As a result, VAR is less intrusive in the Premier League than in other European leagues, including the Champions League, where VAR intervenes almost twice as often. “As part of ongoing dialogue with supporters, Premier League research indicates fans are largely in favour of keeping VAR, but improving the way it is used. This remains a priority for both the Premier League and PGMO, and the League will continue to engage with all stakeholders to build on the progress made through the VAR Improvement Plan.”




Koser meg med boken deres. Meget engasjerende å få hele VAR-prosessen fremstilt på en så oversiktlig og ryddig måte. Det er knapt til å begripe at ingen tok til motmæle, at samtlige kretsledere logret og at breddeklubbene reddet @nff_info_VAR da Cato Haug gikk solo! Sterkt!
