Bristol City boss bemoans ‘disgraceful’ decision

Bristol City boss Lee Johnson insisted his side were denied a perfectly good goal by a “disgraceful” offside decision in their 1-0 defeat at QPR.

Lee Tomlin appeared at first glance to be offside when he netted midway through the first half.

But Johnson said: “I’ve seen it (on video). I wouldn’t be as strong as that had I not seen it it.

“Tonight we’ve scored a good goal. It was onside. Poor officiating. It was a goal.

“We ride out the early storm, do some things we’ve worked on in training, and then that happens.”

He added: “Bobby Reid is a good player but he has missed a very good chance.

“But you have to say it was a very good save. Sometimes you just have to give credit to the opposing goalkeeper.

“It was a key point in the match really because it got their tails up and made them believe they could go on and win it.

“It was a good game. It had quality in sporadic patches, and had aggression.

“I’ve got a good group of lads and we’ve got a lot of players now back fit, so our squad looks strong and healthy.”
