Queens Park Rangers
Queens Park Rangers were denied a clear goal against Bolton on Saturday. The incident occurred in the 20th minute when Clint Hill's header crossed the line before Bolton goalkeeper Adam Bogdan clawed the ball back into play.
What happened?
The score was 0-0 at the time and the game finished 2-1 to Bolton, a result that dropped QPR into the relegation zone.
Why it matters for Queens Park Rangers
The decision not to award the goal could have huge repercussions for QPR, which was leapfrogged by Bolton in the standings to leave the London club in the bottom three with 10 matches left.
What comes next?
The FA has been a leading proponent of goal-line technology for many years and will continue to press for its introduction once further independent testing is complete later this year.

Bogdan said it was a tough call to make for officials. "I just tried to save the ball, and the referee didn't blow his whistle," Bogdan said. "It's hard to make a decision because it's all so quick ... I wasn't sure if it was in or it wasn't."
