VAR Discussion Thread - 2023/24 | PL clubs to vote on whether to scrap VAR (pg413)

Average attendances and global viewing figures have increased since the introduction of VAR

That could have something to do with football selling its backside more and more, I don't care what happens in Bogota on a wet Wednesday night but here where it counts for me.

VAR is shit mate, it'll be robots playing next ;)

do you have any stats for match going supporters and the way they are treated with var decisions ? all you have shown is tv viewing figures, people who know whats going on and why var is being used

So I can prove average attendances and global viewing figures in the PL have increased since the introduction of VAR - why not just say ‘ok, yes you was right on that’

If you personally don’t like VAR, that’s fine , that’s your opinion. I don’t like the game without VAR. That’s my opinion.

As for ‘killed the game’ and ‘football is finished’ then that’s just laughable hyperbole.

More ice creams are eaten when there is an increase in Great White Shark attacks.

So are you claiming var has resulted in record attendances for West Ham, tottenham and City?

Also, how many games were shown live pre-var and how many are broadcast post-var?

I argue against

‘VAR has killed the game’
‘VAR has ruined football’

Since its introduction attendances have not decreased nor viewing figures.

Yes you can prove that viewing figures have risen since it's introduction.....SINCE not BECAUSE!
If you don't already, you should work in politics ;)
I started giving up watching games halfway through as soon as a crap var decision was made, it's so bad now I don't bother watching any game, even watching the goals on YouTube is becoming teeth itching.

Which proves VAR has not meant fans boycott the game in their droves nor killed football. Which is the whole point.

Causation and correlation aren’t his strong points.

But it has made it worse to watch....for many it has killed alot of their enjoyment of the game.
