This season's errors summed up

These are the errors deemed as such by the kmi panel summed up
by Dale Johnson here:
HTML https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cvgzl2gmvrzo
I'll leave it for someone else with far more patience than I to
work out the referees and VARs involved.
It may have escaped peoples attention...but I have a severe
dislike for y****w shirts and a pole opposite love for purple so
the all important stat - mistakes by referee shirt colour! I
have noted where teams wore rag kits when team ref didn't just
for balance!)
20 missed VAR interventions: Black 6 (2 teams in yellow 1 in
orange); Blue 8 (4 teams in yellow 1 in orange); Purple 3 (2
x teams in yellow); Yellow - 3
3 incorrect VAR interventions: Black - 2; Blue - 1; Purple - 0;
Yellow - 0
2 incorrectly rejected VAR reviews: Black - 1; Blue - 0; Purple
- 0; Yellow - 1
29 on-field mistakes that did not meet threshold for VAR
intervention only 28 listed though!: Black 13 (1 team in
yellow); Blue 4 (1 team in yellow); Purple 1 (team in
yellow); Yellow - 10
9 missed 2nd yellow cards: Black 5 (3 teams in yellow); Blue
3 (1 team in yellow); Purple - 0; Yellow - 1
3 Wrong 2nd yellow cards: Black 1; Blue 1 (team in yellow);
Purple - 0; Yellow - 1
Leading to a grand total of:
Black 28 (6 teams in yellow, 1 in orange)
Blue 17 (7 teams in yellow, 1 in orange)
Purple 4 (3 teams in yellow)
Yellow - 16
Simple answer - more purple shirts next season Howard - please
and thank you!

I think the non-FIFA referees making the least mistakes puts out
a big message.
Bramall, Harrington, Robinson with some of the least mistakes
really does make you question what they truly have to do to get
high-profile games. I know they have had a share of a few, but
not enough in my opinion.

The next question, other than shirt colours, is assuming all the
non penalties were awarded and converted what points changes
would there have been?

Agreed, but I think we also need to know how many PL games each
referee had.
