Taiwo’s coach blames officials for defeat

Taye Taiwo coach at Queens Park Rangers Mark Hughes says match officials are not doing their jobs following his side’s 2-1 defeat by Bolton.

The referee failed to award QPR a goal at 0-0, despite television replays showing Clint Hill’s header clearly crossing the line.

Hughes said, “We have to demand that their performances are better. The referee was let down by his assistant.

“Clearly the ball was over the line. The linesman is there to see that.”

Hughes added, “That is what his job is. We can’t have key moments in games being officiated in the way they are at the moment.

“The official should do their job, looking down their line. The linesman’s job is to check for that. No excuse, because it wasn’t a close decision.
