AppId is over the quota
Queens Park Rangers manager 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."
The Football Association issued a statement before the game had ended, calling for goal-line technology to be introduced "as soon as possible".
Hughes said: "Laughably the FA have come out almost immediately and said they're in favour of goal-line [technology].
"What we're finding is that key moments and key decisions in games are going against us. We just need officials to give us a fair crack of the whip.
"You have to understand the significance of scoring first. We were the away side and we would have gone on from that point."
The FA statement read: "The FA would like to reiterate our strong desire to see goal-line technology introduced as soon as possible.
"The FA has been a leading proponent of goal-line technology for many years. We will continue to press for its introduction once further independent testing is complete later this year, so that anyone wishing to introduce the technology is able to do so at the earliest possible opportunity."
It comes a week after the introduction of goal-line technology moved closer to implementation when the latest tests were considered at the annual general meeting of the International Football Association Board (IFAB).
IFAB, which sees the four home nations and Fifa come together to discuss the laws of the game, recommended that two versions of goal-line technology be put forward for further trials.
