Sam, Sheffield United fan: The use of VAR in the Championship play-off final last season was a sporting tragedy beyond comprehension. <\/p>\n
It took away a piece of football’s soul and the integrity of the entire Championship competition. <\/p>\n
Gone was that joyous shared spontaneity of celebrating a goal at Wembley with family and friends, celebrations that mean more on that occasion than at any other game. <\/p>\n
The EFL got it wrong by having VAR in a one off all-important game that day and they need to steer well clear of introducing it to the regular season so that fans can actually continue to enjoy the product on offer.<\/p>\n
Sam, Coventry fan: It’s the one thing I’m dreading for next season assuming we don’t throw away promotion from the position we’re in. <\/p>\n
Already experienced heartache because of VAR when we were denied arguably the most famous FA Cup comeback victory of all time by a dodgy offside call against Man United in 2024. <\/p>\n
I don’t expect us to last long in the Premier League if we get there and when we do eventually come back down, I will look forward to not having five-minute waits for a marginal decision sucking all emotion out of the game.<\/p>\n
Ray, Ipswich fan: VAR is unnecessarily invasive and does far more than was initially intended. <\/p>\n
However, due to the inexperience and lack of quality in the Championship referees and the totally unacceptable performances of the officials at recent Ipswich Town matches, VAR must be introduced as soon as possible, but with the caveat of being used as was originally intended, for the resolution of penalty incidents.<\/p>\n
Steve, Millwall fan: If you had asked this before 14 March, I would have said no, but the refereeing at Millwall-Blackburn was so bad it makes me think it is needed. <\/p>\n
I wouldn’t take the Premier League version, but I would like a watered down version, where a club has three challenges each. This would be just for goals, penalties and red cards including second yellow and off the ball incidents.<\/p>\n
James, Middlesbrough fan: Given the fine margins that teams can be promoted on, we must have VAR in the Championship. Middlesbrough were promoted only on goal difference back in 2016. <\/p>\n
The idea that a team misses out on a \u00a3180m prize of promotion because a referee made a stupid but honest mistake is a distinct reality. <\/p>\n
And nothing says we can’t improve\/speed up VAR in the meantime. Remember that it tends to get more decisions right than non-VAR games.<\/p>\n
Ryan, Southampton fan: Having been relegated with Saints and VAR delaying games, goals and celebrations, it is so much more enjoyable being back in Championship where you just take the game and decisions at the time. <\/p>\n
You probably get some bad ones and good ones but to be honest I don’t even notice. I would rather that than it being done by “VAR” and still being wrong and causing more issues than it resolves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here are a selection of your views: Sam, Sheffield United fan: The use of VAR in the Championship…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":509283,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-509282","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509282\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/509283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
