Hull City boss Phil Brown insists he was proud of his players after their disappointing 2-0 defeat to Everton.
Brown was furious that Everton's first goal by Fellaini was allowed, despite the Belgian looking in a clear offside position.
Everton clinched the game with a stunning free-kick from Mikel Arteta, but Brown was left bitterly frustrated by the decision to allow the Toffees' first goal.
He said: "I have heard Tony Pulis (Stoke manager) talking recently about the little clubs not getting the decisions. When I was at Bolton, it was Sam Allardyce's theme and it got to sound like a broken record.
"But our whole season has been unhinged by a succession of officials and decisions we are not happy with.
"The first goal, with Everton not conceding in the previous five, was always going to be crucial at Goodison Park.
"But the first was wrong, even though Mikel Arteta's free-kick was a touch of brilliance from a brilliant player.
"But that would have made it 1-0 at the break and we would still have been in the game."
He added: "But I have players with blood all over their shirts, so they gave it everything in that second period.
"But the first goal was a bad decision from an assistant referee who is looking right along the line of the defence.
"It killed us. We worked on not giving Fellaini space in the six-yard box, and we achieved that. But he was in an offside position in space we had left him in by squeezing out."
Everton boss Dave Moyes conceded: "Referees we have had recently have been very good, but I don't think this one was. And we have had an offside goal, that was clear.
"I will be straight with things that affect both sides, and our first goal was offside. I have to be fair."
