Bolton Vs. QPR, 2012 Premier League: Linesman Screws QPR Out Of Goal

Queens Park Rangers are not in good shape right now, and are in vital need of points in order to secure a place in the Premier League next season. That goes double for matches against their fellow strugglers, and they're playing today against 19th place Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium. Where they have been completely screwed out of a goal:

This was taken just before Adam Bogdan clawed the ball off the crossbar and out, and it's pretty clear that it should have been given as a goal. Clint Hill's header was a full yard over the line, and although Ryo Miyaichi was on the line it shouldn't have been enough to impede the linesman's view. If QPR go on to lose this match - and at the time of writing, they were 1-0 down after a Darren Pratley goal, expect this to cause something of an uproar. Who's up for a goalline technology debate?
