QPR manager Mark Hughes’ protests fell on deaf ears at the Reebok Stadium.

Time for action over cameras

Clint Hill, a man who sounds like he should be performing at the Grand Ole Opry, was instead left singing the blues at the Reebok on Saturday when his valid goal for QPR against Bolton Wanderers was not allowed.

Ironically enough, the goal came after Joey Barton had initially been foiled by officialdom when attempting to steal an inch or two by taking a corner kick from just outside the quadrant. But it made no difference when the corner finally came in and was met with a meaty close-range header by Clint, which Bolton keeper Adam Bogdan was only able to claw back out of his goal, onto the underside of the bar, after the ball was already well over the line.
