Howard Webb, chief refereeing officer at PGMOL, stated that VAR errors in the Premier League have decreased by 80% this season compared to last, indicating significant improvement.
Despite controversies surrounding VAR's implementation, an independent panel reported only 31 incorrect VAR applications during the 2023-24 season, showcasing progress in its usage and reliability.
Webb emphasized the importance of public perception, noting that most fans support VAR, with an independent survey showing four out of five desire its continuation in the league.
The implementation of semi-automated offside technology has faced delays until 2025, highlighting ongoing efforts to improve decision-making accuracy and maintain fan engagement through transparent communication.
