Palace v Brighton - VAR fail

I know this is FIFA VAR room but did none of these, whether referees or technical support spot the lines were not drawn on the second to last defender, it was fairly easy to see with one look.

It is reported John Brooks drew the wrong lines, but wouldn’t it make sense for a technical expert to draw the lines for John Brooks and he then uses his refereeing expertise to judge whether it is offside or not?

Multiple offside checks by technical experts can be made simultaneously so that the Lee Mason error isn’t made in the Arsenal match.

Mason, Swarbrick and Dean are full time VAR specialists, training and practicing all week.

It's nothing like the Fabinho foul. He lunged off his feet from behind, Mac Allister appears to be much more in control here. Not saying it shouldn't have been a red, but I don't see a comparison between the challenges.

Similar height, same part of the boot, maybe I’m misremembering but the force also wasn’t massively different. Just hits the shin pad not his calf.

Fabinho was totally out of control and tackling from behind. This was from the front and nowhere near the same level of force.

I'm guessing its like a few other high profile incidents (on the fop) where the referee has been wrong in law (Stroud at Newcastle) but the other 3 don't feel they can question the man in charge?

I'd agree if it was a matter of opinion, but if they've drawn the line in the wrong place or missed an incident that needed a line I would have thought everyone should have been pointing this out.

Well the Stroud incident wasn't an opinion, he was wrong in law.

Perhaps none of them realised. They should have of course, but it could be because they weren't actually involved in the decision they didn't think it through.

We also had the incident in the FA Cup kicks from the penalty mark - that one was replayed.

Errors in law are rare at the top levels, I guess there are reasons for the other officials not getting involved for each one I guess?
 
Brighton have now had three official apologies for VAR mistakes in the last month.

It is rubbish. What a waste of money.
