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+).
@Jenlievin@Hanhinn Fritt etter hukommelsen fra en uteservering på Kypros i august:
Mel. La bamba
Na-na Kwa-me
Na-na Kwa-me
Han kom fra Ghana,
Kunne trengt han mot Astana
No ska han banke engen
⚠️
Jeg trodde det var en feil, men @nff_info gjorde det faktisk igjen. De gjorde en regelendring i turneringsbestemmelsene i slutten av august for å spre nest siste serierunde over 7 kamptidspunkt.
Regelendringen er ikke kommunisert offentlig og dokumentet er ikke merket. MEN;
Til uken starter Brann sitt Europa League-eventyr her på Viaplay.
Og i den anledning har vi vært i Bergen og laget denne.
Regi/redigering: Marius Myrmel
20 kvalikkamper i Europa på rad med Brann ✅
Fra Ruzomberok til Larnaca via Dublin, Arouca, Alkmaar, Deventer, Paisley, Almaty, Salzburg, Göteborg og Bergen (x10).
