QPR captain Joey Barton criticises referee Martin Atkinson after his performance in Bolton's controversial 2-1 win over the London club.

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton has criticised referee Martin Atkinson after his performance during Bolton's 2-1 win over the London club.

QPR appeared to have taken the lead in the first half when Clint Hill nodded in Barton's corner, but both Atkinson and his linesman failed to spot that the ball had crossed the line.

Bolton went on to win the game through a late Ivan Klasnic goal, leaving Barton and his teammates fuming with the officials.

"Big decisions all wrong. Ref saying 'don't blame us blame, the FA for not having goal line technology!' Sort of sums it all up!" said the outspoken midfielder on Twitter.

"Seminal moment in the game. We have to be the unluckiest team ever this season. When ur down there, u rarely get rub of the green."

The result leaves QPR 17th in the Premier League, level on points with 18th-placed Blackburn Rovers and 19th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers.
