Football fans aren't happy with VAR in its current form, according to a YouGov poll. Here, we present the results in full...
One in 25 fans believe VAR has worked 'very well'
YouGov surveyed 1,419 supporters across Great Britain to find out how the nation feels about VAR this season and handed Sky Sports exclusive access to the data.
The results reveal just one in 25 fans believe VAR has worked 'very well' and one in four thinks the technology has 'worked well'.
Another 26 per cent said VAR has worked 'very badly' and 34 per cent 'fairly badly', with remaining respondents voting neutrally or unsure.

Football fans in North-West particularly unhappy with VAR

Fans in Yorkshire (34 per cent) and the West Midlands (32 per cent) also emerged as leading complainants but anti-VAR sentiments were far less extreme in Scotland (17 per cent) and London (18 per cent).

VAR graded 4/10 on average by fans
Former Premier League referee Neil Swarbrick graded the new technology seven out of 10 for how well it has worked so far in an interview last year, but only 10 per cent of football fans agreed with that assessment.
In fact, an equal measure voted zero out of 10 in our poll - defined as a 'complete failure' - while the most popular rating in the poll was just three out of 10 (15 per cent) and only two per cent graded it 10 for 'working perfectly'.
