Abstract

The purpose of this study was to carry out an in-depth examination of the views of Turkish football stakeholders on "video assistant referee" technology. The stakeholder sample consisted of 18 male participants, comprising a referee board member, referees, observers, club managers, footballers, coaches, press members and fans. Semistructured interviews provided the data. A descriptive analysis of the data was then undertaken. In the participants' opinions, the main purpose of the VAR Technology is greater fairness, increased objectivity, referee development, reduction in errors, prevention of critical mistakes, and to avoid spoiling the nature of football. The participants' views on the implementation of the VAR Technology were divided into two components the effect on referee behaviour and the impact on the match performance. While the positive effects regarding referee behaviours were referees' making correct decisions, preventing the unfair loss of points, reducing referee mistakes, improvement of the referees, the negative outcome was an increased discussion of referees. The impact on match performance was evaluated negatively by the participants. The reasons were loss of time, loss of naturalness, getting distanced from the match, a decrease in excitement, and loss of motivation. Lastly, the participants’ opinion about the future for VAR Technology was that the use of this technology will continue develop in the coming years and should be supported.

土耳其足球利益相关者对视频助理裁判技术的看法

本研究的目的是深入研究土耳其足球利益相关者对“视频助理裁判”技术的看法。利益相关者样本由18名男性参与者组成，包括一名裁判委员会成员、裁判、观察员、俱乐部经理、足球运动员、教练、媒体成员和球迷。半结构化的interview提供了数据。然后对数据进行描述性分析。参与者认为，VAR技术的主要目的是提高公平性、客观性、裁判发展、减少失误、防止关键失误，并避免破坏足球的本质。参与者对VAR技术实施的看法分为两个部分——对裁判行为的影响和对比赛表现的影响。虽然裁判行为的积极影响是裁判做出了正确的决定，防止了不公平的失分，减少了裁判的失误，提高了裁判的水平，但消极的结果是裁判的讨论增加了。他们对比赛表现的影响被参与者负面评价。原因是失去了时间，失去了自然，远离了比赛，兴奋感增强，失去了动力。最后，与会者对VAR技术的未来的看法是，该技术的使用将在未来几年继续发展，应该得到支持。
