I’m at the Olympic Stadium and there is a break for a VAR check. It’s going on for a while, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to jot down a few thoughts about VAR. 
What I find fascinating about VAR is how it perfectly encapsulates many wider 21st century preoccupations: the promises & limitations of rationality, the tensions between the rule of law, experts, crowds & tradition, and the challenges of finding meaning in late modernity.
The promise of VAR is simple: more right decisions. In practice, it complicates the very notion of 'right'. What is a handball? What is offside? What is 'clear and obvious'? Ultimately, what is truth?
