Bob Pollock is dropped from the list for all Premier League and Football League ties this weekend.

Bob Pollock, the linesman who failed to award Queens Park Rangers a clear 'goal' against Bolton Wanderers earlier this month, has been dropped from all Premier League and Football League games this weekend.

The assistant failed to spot R's defender Clint Hill heading over the line, citing an obstructed view as the reason for his inability to spot the incident.

The match ended 2-1 to Bolton, and could ultimately cost QPR a place in the Premier League next season.

Referee Martin Atkinson, who was in charge of the match, has escaped punishment and will officiate the match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
