@scottjwillis@1998Connorr Agree, joy sapping is also contextual to every fan’s individual emotions.
@scottjwillis do you feel vocalised VAR checks and walkthroughs would help engage the crowd, and relieve stress/shock from decisions that go against a team? Works in rugby, could also work here…

Here's what the model has to say about Foden's and Saka's seasons on title challenging teams.
@SherpaVanDan If VAR wasn’t there, the goal wouldn’t have stood anyway as they’d have stuck with the on-field decision (offside)
This is bad use of VAR, but if that was given offside and the replay showed it was onside, you’d be calling for video intervention. VAR just can’t win…
If VAR is to continue then an immediate improvement required is that supporters in the ground should be able to follow the full audio and video of all decision making’.
Villa’s season reminds me of Arsenal’s 22/23 campaign. So much belief and energy, but could do with a touch more discipline, squad depth and sharpness. Hope to see them build over the coming years 💪 #UTV
