Hughes: Timing of FA technology call 'a joke'

QPR boss Mark Hughes accused the Football Association of using their support for goal-line technology to cover up the poor performance of the officials in today’s controversial 2-1 defeat at fellow Barclays Premier League strugglers Bolton.

Clint Hill thought he had given the visitors the lead in the 19th minute when his header from Joey Barton’s corner clearly crossed the line before it was clawed out by Adam Bogdan, but neither referee Martin Atkinson nor his assistant gave it.
