Your right their.

What an absolute cesspit and a shithole the premier league really is. I despise it with all my heart. It's not football as I grew up and learned to love. I hate it with a passion. I hate clubs like Man City and Chelsea with every fibre of my being. I'm looking for an exit strategy, away from the corporate scum and the bullshit but I love my club and we will we fight these ****s till our dying breath. We will still qualify for Europe despite every little corporate fuckboy of a referee standing in our way. We will obtain what we deserve despite their insistent interference

Exactly!
We must surely be top of the table now for public apologies received.
There's a clear pattern forming here.

I can only assume the Professional Game Match Officials Limited must be a company turning over a healthy profit. Another apology - how generous.
We’re just expected to accept that I guess? The PGMOL can go f*** itself.

Its already N=4. Everyone is forgetting their post game admission that Fabinho should have been sent off for his foul on Evan Ferguson.Play the victim? Good idea.
But how soon would those old tropes reappear?
We sold our ground without planning where to play. How foolish.
We had an unfair advantage owing to Tony Bloom's money.
Now, sour grapes from a club punching well above their weight.
Not saying all this would come our way but if we do want to make waves (and my guess is Tony Bloom won't touch a wave with a barge pole - yet) we need to brace ourselves for a backlash.
After all, nobody likes a sore loser.
I do like todays (and yesterday's) radio coverage, however. Heaps of opprobrium without he club lifting a finger.
Maybe we should leave it like this.
Till next time. Then bring out the guns. A statistical analysis of how we have been singled out for 'unaccountable' shit decision making compared with other clubs. Tony can do those maths..... n=4 has so much more power than n=3.
And it will soon be n=4. By the looks of it

They are the teams that have had apologies from the PGMOL this season.
What we now need is a list of the teams that have received the benefit from all of these VAR mistakes (interesting to see how many were big six sides and how many will be the teams near the lower half of the table which may help confirm the big six bias in their officiating (if that's all it is))
For example:
Liverpool - (vs Brighton) No red card in Cup game for Fabinho
Tottenham - (vs Brighton) No penalty for foul on Mitoma (plus several they haven't (yet) apologised for
Crystal Palace - (vs Brighton) Drawing the lines when checking offside using the wrong player
and so on......

All three of those are the ones we received apologies for.

I know we got apologies for those.
But what i was asking for was for a list of all the teams that have been the beneficiaries of those decisions by VAR, which then led to the apologies later being issued by the PGMOL.
The three I gave were the teams that benefitted from those wrong decisions against us (Liverpool, Tottenham, Palace) but as i said, I was asking who the other teams were that benefitted?

Fvck VAR constant singing at Albion matches every single decision for or against. Get all fans all clubs singing this regardless outcome. Send a message out we hate VAR.
On a few back pages tomorrow…

I guess their wording is correct when it says 'one of their biggest grievances', because that one was in the top 5 grievances.
But the fact that it's only an apology for one mistake makes my blood boil.

The apologies were actually for Spurs, Palace and Villa, which cost us a goal and two penalties. The Fabinho one saw an admission of an error, but I don't think it's being counted because their admission wasn't in the format of an apology to Brighton.
Indirectly all the top sides benefit for our ones

I obviously haven't made it clear what i was asking, ignore our examples (as i have given the teams who benefitted) but it was other instances, involving other teams that i was getting at, who were the teams that benefitted from VAR getting it wrong (and later the PGMOL admitting either to an error, or to issue an apology)
Another example would be:
Liverpool - (vs Wolves) in the cup with the dodgy offside
Man utd - (vs Man City?) where they played someone offside who and who then was almost standing on the ball as it headed towards goal (Rashford?) but deemed by VAR that he wasn't interferring with play as they didn't touch it before Fernandes scored, even though his position and aproximity to the ball would have influenced the defenders who expected it to be flagged offside
And so on.....,...
OK. When we hit n=5 the guns have to be fired.
I have written actual scientific papers about this. Actual ones
