"VAR has made the game less enjoyable to watch according to two thirds of Premier League viewers"
**************
BB Here: Interesting survey linked below. It hasn't bothered me that much watching games on TV, but I think it would be worse watching games at the stadium. It does take some of the joy out of it when Son scores and then you have to wait to see if anyone was offside, if there was a foul in the lead up, etc. But it also stinks when a ref misses an obvious foul, gives a terrible PK, etc. (whether out of incompetence or simply because there are 15 guys in the box and he can't see everything). Maybe it's just because I'm an engineer, but I'm ok with the trade of a bit of joy being lost in the moment in exchange for getting the calls right. So I guess I do enjoy some sports more with replay (soccer, baseball, and tennis. Much easier to implement in baseball and tennis).

Seemingly every weekend football fans find themselves howling at refereeing decisions made as a result of VAR. Now the results of a new YouGov RealTime survey of 1,396 people who regularly watch Premier League games shows quite how maligned the system is.

Fully six in ten say they think VAR works badly, compared to just 27% who think it has been working well. While VAR chief Neil Swarbrick gave the system’s performance to date a 7/10 in November, the average score among fans is just 4/10.
