There is a futuristic feel to the new VAR hub at Stockley Park. It evokes the command centre of the Starship Enterprise with its 10 swanky workstations and, to borrow again from Star Trek, it was designed to help English football boldly go where it had not gone before.
VAR is now into its fifth season here, yet one problem remains. No matter how much Premier League purple lighting illuminates this windowless rectangular room by Heathrow Airport, getting a true feel for the game itself can be tricky for those inside.
The VAR is not surrounded by 22 highly-strung footballers and 62,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
