Using that analogy, any penalty that is on target is a good penalty?

Both statements above are wrong! VAR IS the technology! It's 'THE' VAR that's the guy that makes the decision - and gets stood down for a period when they blunder!

Not necessarily - a mis-kicked one that simply dribbles along the ground for example! But the first requirement for a penalty is for it to be on-target!

It’s just a missed penalty at the end of the day , not the first one he has missed and prob won’t be the last
Bigger penalties have been missed over the years

Those points VAR blatantly stole are most probably not going to be as important top Brighton as the 2 points VAR blatantly stole off Arsenal

Nope that analogy doesn’t work imo.
The penalty taker should at least hit the target.

Brighton could miss out on CL football to Tottenham though who they are currently in the race for top 4 with.
Taking points off your nearest rivals in the table away from home is extremely difficult anyway, without being shafted by incompetent refereeing.
I'm not sure what incident your talking about re Arsenal.

No one’s saying otherwise,just saying it was a bad penalty
Have you never criticised anyone for a bad penalty?
Kane for example?

The Brentford one where Norgaard scored despite a number of offences including VAR not bothering to draw offside lines
Which PGMOL later apologied for (albeit were not at Brightons level of having had 3 apologies so far this season!!!!!)

Which one was that! This site explains quite a few of the contentious ones in PL! https://www.espn.co.uk/football/eng...xplained-disallowed-arsenal-goal-saka-penalty And there's a podcast that does equivalent in Scotland - VARdict!

As per the article I quoted (started before you posted; posted after) showing of lines is down to broadcaster!

nothing to do with showing them, PGMOL admitted that Mason didnt even draw them or look at the offside
Lee Mason: Video Assistant Referee leaves PGMOL and will no longer work on Premier League games after error cost Arsenal vs Brentford
Lee Mason failed to check offside of Christian Norgaard in build-up to Ivan Toneys equaliser for Brentford in 1-1 draw with Arsenal last weekend; PGMOL subsequently apologised for the error; Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta called error not acceptable; Mason has left PGMOL by mutual consent

How many Brighton players missed shots at goal, missed tackles, let goals in etc? It wasn't just the officials who made mistakes during the game but they always seem to get the blame. Maybe you should look closer to home for others who may be accountable for the loss?

The offside v Brentford, when VAR looked for 3-4 minutes and couldn't see the goalscorer was offside

have you actually watched the game hes talking about?
yes fans moan about decisions but this wasnt one decision, this was the 5 or 6 biggest decisions in the game that all went the way of one side and the majority were flat out wrong, to any neutral watching (ok im not totally neutral as an arsenal fan lol) that the officials had a massive influence on the result that they shouldnt have had with VAr allowing them to review decision

I was amazed, as I though it would be in the VAR panel's interest to take points off Tottenham, must be a closet spurs fan in the establishment
